Lol. Who the hell ever said we should go anywhere else? Not me certainly. The pandemic is no longer a pandemic btw. There remains no reason to hurt every member (not just NU) by depriving all of any chance to cut losses. No doubt about the losses to nearly everybody but making the losses worse is just stupid. Believe what you want. I will do the same until a rational reason is given otherwise.

I'm not so concerned with the annoying the neighbors part. More the 'party' part. You know, the thing they shouldn't be doing if they'd like to prevent COVID-19 from spreading among the team and putting what's left of the season on jeopardy. https://journalstar.com/news/local/crime-and-courts/3-husker-football-players-charged-with-misdemeanors-for-loud-party/article_aa2dfad5-084a-520e-a2a8-236f9660cc1a.html

I'm taking my shot right now. Cam will be the best O-lineman Nebraska has had since the early 2000s. He will win first team all conference twice, and be a late first round pick. He is everything the NFL wants. He is going to grade high week to week.

OK, we're approximately 1 month away from Oct 24th, and the return of Nebraska Football. I've gotten over the shock of the 2020 Football Schedule. If anybody thinks that Nebraska is going to just lay down and be walked all over, I got news for you, that's not going to happen. Nebraska asked for football to come back. Nebraska is used to overcoming adversity. They have done it before, they will do it again... My Dad passed away in January of 2018, he considered himself one of the biggest Cornhusker Fans ever. I felt his presence watching Scott Frost's 1st game on TV, and I know he made his presence known with the rumbling of thunder from the heavens. In addition, Nebraska lost a great man in Larry Frost. Let it be known, that Nebraska has many angels watching over this team. I hope... I know Nebraska Players will be playing lights out in honor of their coach and his father. 2020 Nebraska, they start to make their way back to the top. Right now we have 5 top 25 teams on our Schedule. Lets get it done!!

Awesome!

Boy the duality of Mitt Romney is something, isn't it? "There must be peaceful transfer of power and anything else makes us Belarus, but I'm a strong Mormon and a Constitutionalist, so I am going to confirm the SCOTUS nominee of the guy who just suggested he won't transfer power peacefully and nothing about this could possibly go wrong."

Because "the Big Ten" is not damaging Nebraska. Every single team in this conference is taking a financial hit. Every single team in America is taking a financial hit. There is no conference in America that won't make less money this year. There is no better place for Nebraska to go where they wouldn't make less money this year. There's a pandemic. It's in all the newspapers. Check it out.

Apparently people are disagreeing on the Presidential candidates, too.

I really am surprised that Bo is still looked at as anything other than a pretty good coach while at NU. Especially considering what we have seen the last 5 years.

You still look at her facebook profile late at night, don't you?

The reason Bloomberg's efforts are focused on Black and Hispanic voters is that... ...and you may want to sit down for this because it's going to shock you to your very core... ...the brunt of the law your Republican cronies have created adversely impacts those very people. And they did it on purpose because those groups are more likely to vote Democrat. So your Republican buddies steal elections by suppressing votes. That's kinda illegal.

Weird, you on-brand omitted the first step, an unconstitutional Poll Tax imposed by Republicans and upheld by Lagoa. You’re actually describing the welfare Trump gives farmers... for trade effects he caused. Except it’s billions, with a B.

As I recall, it was the direction of the program that was causing pause. More blow outs and sideline blow ups. More close wins against average teams. A win at NW comes to mind. Seems we celebrated a little too much that day. Beating NW at their place is a solid Big win. But is it... Beating the Lions in Beaver Stadium, the Bucks at the Shoe, the Mazin Blue at the Big House or the Badgers at Camp Randall? No. And it's not close. It seems we were on the slow train to sub 500. That was the concern.

If I use the laughing reaction, I'm not laughing with you...

Yeah, that's how recruiting works. If that's the standard to avoid being labeled a "black hole", then pretty much every team in the country is in a black hole recruiting DTs.

I mean ... 2012 - Vincent Valentine 2013 - Maliek Collins 2015 - Carlos & Khalil Davis Four NFL guys in four years is pretty good recruiting.

This is indirectly a Nebraska post as I think Gale Sayers is the greatest recruit who slipped through our fingers. He was a star RB in Omaha. He was committed to the Huskers and then at the last minute switched to Kansas. I wonder what the BobFather could have accomplished with him on the field. Maybe an earlier national championship - not an unreasonable thought. Sayers could dominate games like few others - both in college and the pros. I believe that if he had not had his knee injuries in the NFL and was able to continue his career, I think we would still be thinking of him as the NFL's all time greatest RB. He was art in motion. Well, Mr Sayers passed away today at age 77. He had been living wt dementia for the past 5 years. Those of us who were blessed to see him run (I was a pre-teener then but I still remember) were fortunate. Of course, many remember his story/friendship with Brian Piccolo - the other rookie Chicago Bear RB as shown in the movie Brian's Song. After watching the movie for the first time as a young high schooler, I went into the bathroom a lone and cried alligator tears - first movie that affected me this way - and still does today. The day Gale Sayers burned Nebraska on a 99 yard run: https://omaha.com/sports/local-sports/gale-sayers-the-hall-of-fame-running-back-from-omaha-dies-at-77/article_07d4f244-471a-54de-a5e8-688efff06149.amp.html

I have nothing to lose by believing this. I’m in.

I think Frost new that last years OL was going to struggle...but that it would mean this years OL will be pretty good.

I will happily bet against anyone in this camp that is down on Johnson. Mentally and from a size aspect he really was held back last year. Look for that to change. He’s got legit speed.

Meanwhile, in reality....

@Notre Dame Joe is Qanon saying these republicans are all part of the deep state?

Look at this woman crumble. You love to see it.

anyone else pause it to check out the girl in the blue tank top? Okay, ummmm, neither did I.

First thing I thought of when I heard the news was the joy to see Pic again. I bet that was quite a reunion for them. Watched the original movie a couple of weeks ago. Quite a story of what the love and grace of God can be between two people who know the Oneness of God.

Fauci dunking on Rand Paul was something I didn't know I needed today. Rand is a sanctimonious jacka$$.

The games when Wisconsin really embarrassed us in the Bo era were so painful...and there were so many. The ones that obviously stand out were: -Russell Wilson's senior transfer season -The conference championship game -The one in Madison when Melvin Gordon rushed for 1,786 yards or whatever and it was snowing in the fourth quarter I remember in those latter two Bo not being able to get his corners and OLBs to maintain discipline. But he generally didn't struggle with his team not being physical enough. It's almost hard to pinpoint why we couldn't win those games but then we'd beat a Top 10-ranked Michigan State, etc. Random thoughts.

Imagine four soldiers dying in defense of an American embassy harboring a CIA operation, in one of the most dangerous cities in the world, in a country the U.S. was actively trying to destabilize.

How anyone in govt can be okay with the president saying he won't agree to a peaceful transfer of power is mind blowing. If that were Obama that said that, I'd hope every GOP and Dem elected official told him to f#&% off. I expect the same in this situation.

Right on cue.

I know one of them really well. I will just say, I am shocked the police have only been to that house 4 times so far! Ha

Good teams that all too often couldn't get out of their own damn way, led by a good man who all too often couldn't get out of his own damn way... Well, it's not like we have a Husker game to talk about this week...

Good sports journalists still do good sports journalism. I think it was Sports Illustrated that published that very long and detailed article last year that shadowed Scott Frost for weeks as he embarked on his second season. Told me thinks about Scott I never knew, didn't shy away from the problems we discuss in here daily, honored the Husker legacy and explained it well to outsiders.

Now that this is 2020..I feel like Nash Hutmacher’s dad would post something like this

Media in general has become desperate for any attention. Competition is high and there is a lack of much fresh in the sports world. It's natural for writers to try to spur clicks from fan bases with a large following, even if that means making said fan base mad. Half of us can't pass a negative Nebraska article by- we have to read it just so we can disagree with it. I personally could care less what Forde or Howard thinks or writes. Our path out of the crosshairs in on the field- win to shut them up.

It's over? Since when?

In Pennsylvania, three Republican leaders told me they had already discussed the direct appointment of electors among themselves, and one said he had discussed it with Trump’s national campaign. “I’ve mentioned it to them, and I hope they’re thinking about it too,” Lawrence Tabas, the Pennsylvania Republican Party’s chairman, told me. “I just don’t think this is the right time for me to be discussing those strategies and approaches, but [direct appointment of electors] is one of the options. It is one of the available legal options set forth in the Constitution.” He added that everyone’s preference is to get a swift and accurate count. “If the process, though, is flawed, and has significant flaws, our public may lose faith and confidence” in the election’s integrity.

I've been wondering why he's saying and doing such weird things this cycle. I think it's been so that he would lose the popular vote, which then feeds into his lie about the Dems "stealing" the election, so that he can then declare martial law or whatever his tool is going to be to try to remain in power. He's been working with Putin this whole time. This has been the plan all along. Destroy as much of the institutions that make America from the inside, then fracture it and hope it crumbles during the election.

He's been telling us he's going to do this for months. All those speeches about election fraud are just conditioning his cult to be OK with this. The goal is to fracture America. It's always been his goal.

You also missed Reagan in 1976 so I could explain the concept of a protest candidacy. The Party that brought you electoral destruction, ballot mailing en masse, and court packing has expanded into vote buying. Before you tell me why this is fine and dandy, imagine a headline: Koch Brothers donate millions to pay the fines of prisoners, focusing on White and Uneductated.

That's two years after Suh, then three, then four. And none of those guys came close, remotely, to Suh's impact in college.

You write good posts.

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.
