No s#!t, Sherlock

Pretty accurate.

Wowza......... Also, I really cannot stand this 'joking' about staying in office longer than the constitution allows! He keeps throwing it out there because he is really going to try it! Thats what he does, messages something over and over until his base thinks it is normal or right then he really uses it to try and pull some slick s#!t. Dangerous time we live in...

The middle ground you’re projecting is awfully narrow.

Our performance and our max capabilities have also fallen. Expectations should be based on an actual metric other than, "We should be awesome because we're Nebraska and that's awesome".

Cool story on Fred Vanvleet. He went undrafted after tearing it up at Wichita State. He had his whole family over for a watch party to see who would draft him on draft night in 2016. After he didn't get drafted he went on the mic and said something like it wouldn't be right if he did get drafted cause he always has a chip on his shoulder. And that his story or career in basketball won't end here and he decided to bet on himself. On his website, it says he chose to go undrafted but I believe teams just didn't want to draft him. Later, he was picked up by the Raptors on a two-way contract and tore it up in the Summer League. Flash forward to this season and he was a consistent #2 pg off the bench for Toronto, who was arguably the deepest team in the League. He also was in the running for 6th man of the year award. During the playoffs, he struggled in the first rounds against Orlando and Philadephia. After three horrible performances against the Bucks in games 1, 2, and 3 his son was born. Once his son was born it breathed new life into Fred, he almost became unplayable but his coaches and teammates believed in him and he believed in himself. He then hit 7 threes in a crucial game 5 to help secure a victory against the Bucks and went on to average superb numbers after that. Without him, the Raptors would not be NBA champs because of his crucial shots and great defense on Steph Curry, which helped them win it all. Edit: Here is the article that talks about it. However, it was written before the Finals were over but still gives you some nice insight on him. https://www.businessinsider.com/fred-vanvleet-on-fire-playoffs-son-born-2019-6

Key word is supposed to. We are all intrigued how that will work with Jim "ball control" Harbaugh chewing on his play sheet trying not to step in.

Didn't know a good place to post this, so instead of creating a new thread I stuck it at the end of the VNL thread. The team selected for the Pan Am Cup (of which there are two former Nebraska players K Rolfzen and Wong-Orantes) has made it through pool play undefeated at 4-0 and jumps past the quater-finals to the semi-final round due to being the top team in the pool. In the four matches, they've lost one set (24-26) to Puerto Rico. https://www.teamusa.org/USA-Volleyball/Features/2019/July/10/US-Women-Defeat-Puerto-Rico-Advance-to-Pan-Am-Semis The team consists of a mixture of names from the VNL 25 player roster that didn't make the final round team (Lowe, Kingdon-Rishel), players that were part of the 30 invited for the VNL tryouts but didn't make the cut (Rolfzen, Wong-Orantes), and then some big names from the next tier (Plummer from Stanford, Jones-Perry from BYU, Hannah Tapp from Minnesota). Some of the vets took a pass like Carli Lloyd and Kim Hill. Not quite the USA's 2nd best team, but a solid assemble of talent. The semis are on the 13th and the medal round is the next day. BTW both Rolfzen and Wong-Orantes are major contributors in the matches thus far. Some thoughts on the VNL final round. Robinson has apparently supplanted Larson on the outside. However, Bartsch-Hackley did not look that impressive in the semis and finals. Poulter and Dixon gave the US a spark in the semis against China (props to Kiraly for having the confidence to put in Poulter, a rookie, at that moment), and Larson and Dixon literally changed the momentum and won the match when they came in the third set down 0-2. And congrats to the opposites as Drews was the final round MVP and of course Thompson went off in the first match against Brazil with 30 kills on 51 attempts. Next is the Olympic qualifier in early August which is on home turf in Louisiana. It wouldn't surprise me to see two Nebraska gals, Larson and Robinson, starting on the outside with Bartsch-Hackley coming off the bench. Dixon was clutch in the middle when it counted so she may get more time. Ogbogu is a definite starter at middle, and Washington had a good final round, so maybe Dixon's role will be similar to what happened in the VNL semis and final matches. Come off the bench and provide a spark. The opposites are set with the dynamic play of Drews and Thompson. Kiraly appears to be sold on Poulter along side the other 6'2" setter Carlini with Lloyd out of the picture for now. And then you have the libero position........Kiraly seems set on Megan Courtney. Lake didn't sniff the court in the four final round matches. And for Nebraska fan, of the 8 outside positions slotted for the VNL finals team and the Pan Am team, FOUR (4) are occupied by former Huskers. Not that Coach Cook needs another recruiting pitch to aspiring young girls, but that fact should carry some weight in itself.

Well that's just not at all true, but I realize at times progressives cannot resist hyperbole and cutting down anyone who doesn't march in lockstep with them.

I really hope you hang around the board so we can chat early December

Thats not Phil Steeles win projections, he is just tweeting the betting lines Caesars Palace has put out for teams he likes this year. He predicted us at 10 regular season wins.

I'm sorry but I don't fear Minnesota whatsoever. It's like the same thing as our team except yall have worse talent. What did you guys do last year? Won some games down the stretch, just like we did. We have better talent, a better QB and better coaching. Yes yall got better after we played you last year, but we ran your Gophers out of our stadium and honestly I don't expect it to be much different this season.

All you have to do is look at the tie-knots to know Scott Frost runs a tighter ship than Riley.

Can anyone possibly read this and think this man is ok?

I think it is called "Rileyed"

You're saying that after back-to-back 4-8 seasons, you'd be upset with Nebraska playing in a bowl game and possibly winning eight games?

I do agree with this and if this is what TG is getting at then I'm 100% on board. I think people taking the teachings of Jesus and turning it into yet another tribe that you're either in or out of is COMPLETELY the opposite of the thing Jesus was trying to get at. Christianity should not be a team. I think a key tenant of Christ ethos is that there are no teams and that God is not keeping score. https://www.britannica.com/topic/biblical-literature/New-Testament-literature#ref598075 https://glenandpaula.com/wordpress/archives/2010/02/25/pre-christian-uses-of-gospel https://theologycurator.com/roman-empire-during-time-jesus/ https://www.nae.net/theology-behind-euangelion/ The bit about the pamphlets might be a bit of imaginative embellishing on my part or on the part of people who's work I follow, but the nature of the New Testament "gospel" accounts being highly politically subversive to Rome would have been very apparent to people within the culture of that empire.

I think the best thing about these types of poll releases. Even if they are worthless. Think of how many Iowa fans get triggered over it.

It's not hard to understand when something is meant to be taken generally and not literally. But the eye roll function is gone so fear not!

Nobody reads your posts because they are too long.

I’m guessing the redskins aren’t happy to see this.

i hope it's just an ironic twist that twitter isn't working for me right now.

He's going to clam that the Dems and the Fake Media took the first term from him wt all of the investigation - so he gets a 'do over' term. His blind followers will believe every word.

And people wonder why more people aren't moderate. I'll never understand why certain sides need to criticize or attack the people who are more moderate from that side.

That Riley team was getting blown out down the stretch and lost the bowl game. The 2014 Huskers let Melvin Gordon rewrite the record books and lost the bowl game. I have a feeling if we went 9-4 this season it would look much different than those seasons.

Unless the offense sucks. Then the offense was the key.

Denver has more options than alcohol

I know I would be all for seeing a changing of the guard. Its gotten boring watching Ohio State, Alabama and Clemson dominate the country. Time for some new teams to take over. All of the top 3 of those teams have the coach. Nebraska and Michigan have the history on their side of being on top. Texas A&M not so much- but they are in Texas and have a great coach.

Glad it wasn't Incognito but I gotta post this kid from Gage County

Do yourself a favor and read some of the comments, especially from the Canadians and Europeans. Will make you sick. One of my favorites: Had a 50 minute doctors appointment followed by a 30 minute treatment at my local hospital. Cost? Zero! Greetings from Hamburg Germany

Wait...someone posted they would be okay with 7-5??? Come on!

By that logic shouldn't the male reporters also require a female escort so that there's no opportunity of false accusations of having a homosexual affair?

The account's less than a week old and has 5 total tweets...heavy emphasis on the meaningless

The way I read his response is: ”I can’t control my own penis when women are in the vicinity, and I don’t want them to force me to violate my marriage vows due to my inability to control my penis.” Ya. This is the type of guy who should be a governor.

I feel this is the best set of LBs we have had in quite some time once these young kids get some experience. We've already improved from David Santos, Trevor Roach, Chris Weber, Marcus Newby etc... LB has been a major problem for a while IMO

Ah, 2020 and 2021, the years we don’t play on Black Friday. Thanks Mike Riley and Shawn Eichorst.

That was like 50% of my emoji income!

Hmmmmm.....

Why the hell are we still beating this drum?

So seven years from now the Big XII will still be at 83% of what the B1G is now....

Ohio State fan?

This kid has made some pretty fascinating progress with his body in a short time frame. The Nelson from state championship game to even spring game had made some pretty remarkable muscle gains. Dude looks like he'll have the B1G body he needs in short order. It's also time for me to submit my first real critique of this coaching staff, and it's really bugging me. Specifically, to Duval... Bro, we need at least 15-20 videos like this PER DAY. Don't let us down.
