Wait a minute, is this the way it works in recruiting? You have to talk to a kid 4-5 days a week in order to show interest? If anyone tried to talk to me that often I would block them. I would hate that job.

I was catching up on the thread and your post is where I decided to stop and comment, based on your previous posts and others that shared the sentiment. We both been around awhile, and I'm aware that you tend to discredit national sports writers & broadcasters who criticize Husker football, and counsel posters not to reward the "clickbait." I'm inclined to disagree. btw....t's not weird to let a few hours go by in the monitoring of HuskerBoard threads.

What do you not understand about that statement?

Conversely, it's not Pat Forde's job to make a fanbase feel good about itself. They get paid to come up with sports stories that are better written and researched than the average fanboard post, and that's what he did. Nebraska fans have a persecution complex, and at some point it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. Forde really had the knives out for this one and went for the deep snark, but he's not exactly wrong. And remember....these guys get emails. s#!tloads of emails. And they typically aren't from the thoughtful and pleasant folk posting here.

That's fine and all, but offseason conversations are pretty limited and boring if we're only going to talk about players who have shown something. Especially because we're hoping even the ones that have shown something show more this year. Totally fair to suggest we pump the brakes on hype for guys who haven't played much or at all. But considering the entire starting defensive line is gone, the coaches thought highly enough of Robinson to play him some last year, and he's our best d line recruit in years - it's not crazy to be talking about him having a large role on the team. Martinez, Wan'Dale, CTB, were all hyped before they really showed anything on the field and did alright (freshman year for Martinez). I'm not a big believer in fan hype affecting most players, they generally have higher expectations for themselves than we do.

You're getting words confused, "your" should be replaced with "you're." Also, excuses can be facts. "I lost the debate to Biden because he has more experience speaking and a bigger vocabulary than I have. Also he's not nearly as stupid as I am." - Trump. All facts, all excuses.

Some folks on here made it a point to revise history when it came to Bo. He was far from perfect and his tenure came to an end because of his own doings. But he was as consistent as it gets. I have nothing but fond feelings towards him.

Save for Maliek Collins & Vince Valentine, IMO. A Top 5 game from the Bo era for me was 2015 2014against Miami at home, which had both of those guys, Randy Gregory, Josh Mitchell, & Nate Gerry. That game could probably be argued as being the nastiest home game atmosphere in the post-Solich era. Has to be at least top 3 anyway.

The craziest thing about Bo was that he was never able to recruit based off Ndamukong Suh's success. He had a perfect pitch - look at what this guy was when I got here, and look what I helped turn him into. And yet that position was a black hole for him after Suh.

From your posts I presumed you thought Forde was a hack with an anti-Husker agenda and we shouldn't give into his clickbait.

I almost teared up when I saw the field goal kicking. Will never take that for granted again.

Imagine 200k Americans dying in 7 months from a Pandemic during a Hillary Clinton Presidency.

Joe has shown he can separate his personal religion from his duty to serve ALL citizens regardless of beliefs, Can Amy? If you have LBTGQ or female friends/family, this is something that has to be taken very seriously. In 2012, she signed a letter entitled “Unacceptable” that protested the Obama administration’s good faith effort to create a compromise in carrying out the contraception mandate under the Affordable Care Act. Professor Barrett’s letter stated: “This is a grave violation of religious freedom and cannot stand. It is an insult to the intelligence of Catholics, Protestants, Eastern Orthodox Christians, Jews, Muslims, and other people of faith and conscience to imagine that they will accept an assault on their religious liberty if only it is covered up by a cheap accounting trick.”[10] This strident letter is a skewed and misleading representation of a careful compromise that would have ensured women’s access to contraception as well as accommodated religious liberty interests by requiring insurance companies, rather than religious employers, to provide the contraceptive coverage. As a signatory to this letter, Professor Barrett demonstrated a strong bias against women making their own healthcare decisions. Professor Barrett has also expressed deeply held opposition to marriage equality, signing on to an October 2015 letter that stated: “We give witness that the Church’s teachings – on the dignity of the human person and the value of human life from conception to natural death; on the meaning of human sexuality, the significance of sexual difference and the complementarity of men and women; on openness to life and the gift of motherhood; and on marriage and family founded on the indissoluble commitment of a man and a woman – provide a sure guide to the Christian life.”[11] This language, embraced by Professor Barrett, is in direct conflict with the Supreme Court’s June 2015 decision, Obergefell v. Hodges, 135 S. Ct. 2584 (2015), which established a constitutional right to marriage equality in America. Professor Barrett’s bias on LGBT issues would require her to recuse in all cases involving LGBT equality and must be explored at her hearing.

I would take 5 wins, with the crazy start and the SOS. That is an improvement in my book.

I don't necessarily disagree with what you typed. But if she plans to use a government position to promote a religion, that is very much a problem. If she plans to use a seat on the Supreme Court to "create a kingdom of God" rather than "uphold the Constitution" she isn't qualified.

I’m really not sure why you guys think that a true freshman is gonna light up the stat sheet as a 3-4 nose. I question some of your takes on here . Of course the substance is minimal but that game he held his own given the circumstances.

More like his Fordte...I'll show myself out

Foreshadowing:

The United States just passed 200,000 deaths, and continues to have about 20% of the world's fatalities from Covid-19. It didn't have to be like this.

Wait....I've been hearing for months that he's an senile blubbering old man with drool dripping from the corner of his mouth. Now....he's a finely tuned speaker and debater that is so good the mostest amazingly smart person the world has ever seen....one who knows all the bigly words.....is commenting on how good Biden is before the debates?

People of Praise seems culty enough without quibbling over semantics.

The Republicans have declared all-out war against liberalism. From the day Obama was elected when they held their "obstruct everything" meeting, to the dozens of attacks on the ACA to the blocking of Gorsuch to the perpetuation of the Electoral College to everything they've bowed & scraped to with Trump, to packing the lower courts and now this Supreme Court nomination, they've swamped their way to win after win. In just the manner that most Conservatives claim they hate, through political manipulation, back-door deals and the like. They're forcing the liberals to go to even greater lengths simply to succeed as the majority party. So when there are 11 or 13 justices on the Supreme Court, and when DC and Puerto Rico are states, they can blame themselves.

Yes- it's like dating a girl. If you don't tell her you love her every time you see her they think you don't like them anymore.

Sounds like tropical hoops invitationals (Maui, Battle for Atlantis) will be played stateside, in South Dakota and NC. https://www.mlive.com/wolverines/2020/09/paradise-in-south-dakota-welcome-to-the-2020-college-basketball-season.html

Cultists, please just ignore those deaths that eclipse WW1 + Vietnam + Iraq + Afghanistan.

Using his global reach to influence people in, say... Montreal, Hong Kong & London? Boy, that was hard to piece together. @4skers89 Ronald Reagan had no problem denouncing the Russians for what they are. What's Trump's problem?

Yep.....and if our kicker could put it in the end zone, that KO return doesn’t happen. our lack of kicker last year definitely cost us some games.

Yeah it's pretty weird he gets brought up when he references Nebraska.

Weren't the Davis twins his recruits? They are in the NFL too...

100% agree. The overall failings along the defensive line in general were staggering and eye-opening. The entire 2010 defensive line didn't pan out, an absolute disaster when taken into context of joining a league as powerful in the trenches as the B1G tends to be. You're not alone. The one thing I tried to do during the Riley years was keep in perspective that a complete failure of a hire didn't necessarily mean it was wrong to get rid of BP. On a personal note, it was like the time I broke up with a girlfriend I'd had for multiple years. I started to date someone new not long after who broke my heart, and it got me thinking during the heartbreak that hey... maybe that old girlfriend wasn't so bad? Was I being too rash and impulsive to leave her? And no, she hadn't been that bad, but she also hadn't been that great. I can easily look back now and say it was the right call to leave her.

2012 is when I began feeling the hump was more like a 100ft wall. By the end I was ready for a change, but I'd went so All In on Bo my fandom took a major hit because the following hire was so uninspiring.

I'm still disappointed Bo didn't work out. I wanted him to succeed here really, really bad. For all the bad behavior and blowout losses though, I think his ultimate failing was development. I never really felt the same about the program he ran following that 2010 season. It started to feel like a team just sort of going through the paces, never really reaching their potential but also never falling far from it. Basically like getting a B average over and over again.

I was a pretty big fan of Ozigbo but I think Mills will be much better. I expect he will be top 3 in the B1G for rushing.

I took it as her using her legal career to promote her religion. Being on a influential court is the means, a society influenced by her religion is end.

I first read that as getting a "break" as a few more plays going our way or a few more defensive stops, etc. Like most of you have already said, this is just click bait.

I agree. Publicly airing your displeasure with the schedule does not change the schedule. Nothing we complain about publicly would change the schedule so it is pointless- it only does harm- no good.

Well, from your own Wiki... it is not strictly Catholic, the females are not called handmaids, women are encouraged to go to college and get a job etc

OK...the argument that a lot of our talent at the WR positions is unproven is a valid one. But, to say we have 3 solid starters and after that we are thin or short handed just isn't the case.

UK's highest death day in the past month has been 27 deaths. US's highest death day in the past month has been 1,200 deaths. If you adjust UKs population to match the US, the UKs worst death day in the past month would be 135 deaths.

Any team has a better shot at winning their division with easier crossover games - that is a proven fact. Our fanbase says something like "Can't wait for Ohio State" then we are a 5 win team that got destroyed by them last year and should shut up. OR we say well isn't that ironic they place us on the road week 1 vs the best team in the B10 and we are like that's petty by the B10. "CRYBABIES!"

Good!!!

And the absolute bonkers thing is, if we somehow go 7-2 this year and win a bowl game (if there is one), they will 100% change their tune about us next year. We'll be cast as heroes for fighting for football. Everyone loves a winner. That's all these national pundits do - they jump from bandwagon to bandwagon to sell their headlines.
