Look at our schedule again. Then watch the last 6 games of last season. IMO no koolaid is required to predict 10 wins.

Consider it "networking" and it sounds better.

Sipple actually talked about that in the Husker Extra podcast last week. It was his article that called out Dedrick and his GPA situation and he admitted he felt sort of uncomfortable about it all after a conversation with Mo Barry. Apparently, Sipple was interviewing Barry after that Dedrick/GPA article and Barry brought it up at one point during their conversation. Barry wasn't upset at Sipple but was upset at Dedrick's coach. He felt the coach shouldn't have gone into that detail (which I agree with). Barry also pointed out that he was incredibly embarrassed coming out of high school because it was public knowledge that he didn't have the grades to get into some universities. Essentially, 'it's one thing to have your toughness called into question, but your intelligence is something else.' Sipple said it was a sobering conversation and made him rethink how he would cover that kind of stuff in the future.

The B10 was screwing us over until it was called out on national TV in regards to holding calls....

You are joking right? Please tell me you are joking. No... You honestly believe Nebraska got "out recruited" on this one? Ooooo boy.

I am guessing they didnt even bait their own hook.

They took him fishing! HOW ORIGINAL.

I don’t even know why you would bring up Riley’s last year. Different coach, different roster, and way different culture.

You know, you could have made this a thread about fixing the VA considering Cortez isn't the only one to get upset at concerning this issue. What have other members of Congress done?

Guess it depends how you look at it. 2011- couldn't stop the run but Rex, who rarely fumbled, does so inside their 5 yard line. A score of any kind and the game is different 2012- Two muffed punts by Abdullah/Bell. Giving NW prime field position, which they scored a TD. 2013- Armstrong throws 500 ints that game. We were lucky to win. 2014- Probably the cleanest game we played of the series and the score showed. 2015- Armstrong just flings a pass, under pressure so credit NW, but the pass goes for a pick 6. Turned out to be the difference. 2016- Fumbles, fumbles and more fumbles, along with missed TD passes. Luckily Northwestern couldn't capitalize but the score should've been much worse in favor of Nebraska. 2017- Everyone knows the coaching staff peed that one away. Driving with chance to put them away and they make Lee pass instead of milking clock and playing for a FG. Mind you they needed a win any way they could get one. 2018- You could talk me into NW making plays. Davis did bail them out by not laying off of Thorson on 3rd down. Sure they made the plays to win but to some flukey **** has gone down in the series I can't even front on Wisconsin...they've flat out beat us.

This is good news given Mo's woes continue with no end in sight...

First Post, Saw this on YouTube and got excited about what Martinez and Frost can do. They appear to run a lot of the same plays/concepts and I think Martinez is just as skilled as Mariota but Oregon may have been more stacked at skill position than our current roster. I feel like NU is going to light up some defenses in the near future.

Ben Carson literally told America he had no business running a federal agency: Not a week later, Trump nominated him to run HUD anyway. The only potential justification I've heard as to why Trump thought this would be a good idea was because he figured Carson would know something about urban development. Anybody surprised by his utter incompetence hasn't been paying attention. Still, pretty sad to watch.

Dont you know kids could read this board?!? How dare you

And when they're not criminals like Pruitt ^^^ they're just dumb as a post and completely unqualified for their position. What's up, Ben Carson?

Remember when conservative voters couldn't vote for Hillary because of Pay to Play? LOL GOOD TIMES!

@Enhance Yeah, here's the article about that: https://journalstar.com/sports/huskers/sipple/steven-m-sipple-nu-linebacker-barry-speaks-his-mind-and/article_6b8281bf-539a-5dd6-b357-40522a60ed0c.html And this article has a response from Sims down below: https://journalstar.com/sports/huskers/sipple/steven-m-sipple-with-mills-likely-in-fold-picking-nebraska/article_3a442ac0-d3fd-593c-a86e-5a474f443c65.html

What happens is that the money earmarked for these 'fixes' gets used elsewhere in some other pet projects (like the most recent tax cuts), and these bills mostly become unfunded mandates that are eventually ignored. The VA needs to get funding so they can fix what is broken, hire more doctors and staff to reduce waiting time, and get rid of a lot of the ridiculous bureaucracy that causes problems in the first place. For example, one of my veteran friends had to see someone in the VA four times over before he could officially get the percentage of disability everyone knew he had from the onset (which impacted his retirement pay). That's two or three visits too many, and it wastes time and resources and creates the scheduling nightmares that take place. Hell, why not make some sort of medical service corps that serves VA hospitals and rural communities struggling to bring in or keep trained doctors and nurses--this way, you have a cadre of regional doctors making trips to rural areas to assist in treatment, but if they're needed to shore up the VA and help keep appointments flowing, they get brought back in for a spell. Allow recent medial graduates the opportunity to serve in this capacity for four years at adequate pay, and their school debt is forgiven by the government. That, or if you're a former military medic, doctor, or nurse, you can continue service stateside in the VA and in rural areas to contribute towards years of service. (something like this may already be in play at the VA, not sure). Because character assassination pays dividends in future discussions of projects or ideas the assassinated character brings up, like the New Green Deal. It's easier to paint her as a 'crazy broad' than it is to break down her plans and intelligently discuss their benefits or flaws.

My understanding of the Mills situation is they’ve know for the entire semester (so at least since January) that he would need to take classes this semester to increase his GPA. Then a journalist decided to tweet a couple weeks ago (perhapa because he’d just found out) what the coaches have always known, just to make people panic and think it’s a new thing and get more clicks. That’s how it has looked ever since whatever journalist it was made that post. I imagine it wasn’t even that hard for him, especially if he had a couple Fs, ‘cause replacing an F with a C would be a huge boost to the GPA. Or a D with a B.

Considering they threw 64 passes, yes.

We already did! Red beat white 24-13 on April 13th

They passed one in 2018. They passed one in 2017. They passed one in 2016. They pass legislation to "fix" the VA all the time. But nothing actually happens. And we've had that problem for several decades.

Agreed. I think there's an argument to be made that Mills' arrival, assuming he can pick up where he left off from his Georgia Tech days, was more critical than Mo's return. It's possible guys like Rahmir and Wandale could fill Mo's void a bit if it comes down to it, but it feels like Mills was the piece that would be harder to make up for. I feel good knowing they're halfway to their best case scenario in the RB room, though. We didn't feel super comfortable about either Dedrick or Mo a few weeks ago.

I try not to read this stuff since Trump has become president, because it's the most important issue to me, and his policies will kill people. I made a mistake and read this one. This is f#&%ing disgusting, and it's disgusting people are okay with them fudging the numbers to make their s#!t policies look less bad. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/05/20/climate/epa-air-pollution-deaths.html?action=click&module=Top Stories&pgtype=Homepage

Hmmm. Was he also arguing calls with a NW fan while simultaneously being hushed by his wife. If so, yep. It was me.

Wat?

Sheesh. We got a good one.

If you are even a fringe B1G level player he wouldn't have ended up in the Summit League. If you want to say UNO or some Valley team like Drake got out recruited sure then that may be the case. Anyways hes a local hero and had a big crowd when Memphis played Creighton in the NIT, even though he couldn't play. I am sure he is excited to be playing closer to home and for SDSU which is a good program at their level.

I watched a bit of their spring game on TV. Meh. JAGs everywhere. I will say that I came away impressed by their WRs. Shenault, Jr didn’t play yet they still had several playmakers and big targets. Their secondary is bad, so I don’t mean to overrate their WRs, but they did look good and fast. Good early test for our secondary. Their ILBs are their second best unit in my opinion, lead by Landman. He’s fun to watch even if he’s a Buff. Montez still “scares” me to an extent just because he can make some incredible plays. But he also makes a ton of mistakes and we are going to force several with our 2nd year defense and the fact that our DLine and edge rushers are so much better than their OLine. I think we get revenge in a big way.

They're so deep in the Fossil Fuel lobby's pocket they've decided to just do worse science to justify worse policies. We're in a pretty screwed up place when Republicans decide that instead of improving their policies they can just use junk science to prop them up. But I mean we've basically had two Big Energy lobbyists in a row in charge of the EPA, so...

STAY IN YOUR LANE CRISTOBAL!!!

Um...guys, has anyone noticed a couple of things wrong with the B1G Tourney bracket: Apparently, the tournament is happening in Omaha, Omaha, and not Omaha, Nebraska. Wonder which Earth in the multiverse this is taking place on, since apparently that Earth decided to name the state 'Omaha', too. As long as it's somewhere in middle America, that's the heart of the matter. And second, while the tourney bracket says Eastern Time, it turns out these times are all Central. Jesus B1G, you had one job...

I was specifically speaking about Rex. Abdullah, Martinez and others had their issues but it wasn't par for Rex, as he was one of the most reliable players of Bo's era. I do...I can't ever recall multiple muffed punts in one game, and neither did the visiting fans as they mocked Abdullah once he finally fielded one. For all the picks Armstrong has thrown...and he threw a lot, they usually didn't go for 6. Tanner Lee OTOH.... I maintain if Nebraska has more complete games against them, this series isn't as close. Northwestern has been a formidable opponent but I refuse to dismiss Nebraska not providing a hand in it.

Maybe for some, but I know I forced myself into optimism with Riley also, and I tend to always be optimistic. I am extra optimistic this year because there are actual signs of progress now. I am holding myself back from 11-1 though, haha. I'll say 10-2.

No holding calls when they were holding on 75%of plays last year is pretty lucky IMO

Local VA healthcare providers are hit and miss. Some regions, like Omaha/Lincoln, have pretty good healthcare. Others don't. And there have been scandals. And veterans have been put at risk. And the antiquated data management system is still being fixed.

Us fumbling in the Pelini era wasn't flukey - it was par for the course. I don't see anything you listed that was flukey or weird or lucky in their favor.

to tell you guys to eat a bag of richards

Eric Crouch with a better arm.

The conference already had their brackets, seeds, and times on the site before we were part of it. BTW, those are all EST, so we're starting at 8pm. IF anything, this should be encouraging to the folks that like to get their buzz on before the games.

Missed that one! I must have forgotten they had a team. Till last year, we never lost at their place either.

Naturally strong families. Oh, RIP my sweet old friend, RIP.
