Both of those stat lines are not great. But my guess is Luke is QBA.. Pretty sure he cant throw it over 7.5 yards

What do you want a coach to say? "There's no doubt in my mind that Luke McCaffrey is going to be a backup QB for the duration of his career at Nebraska" We can all agree that Luke is a fantastic athlete who is very quick twitch. You say what you have to say to keep athletes like that around. My guess is we probably had a realistic conversation with him about wanting him to play WR etc. What Frost said protects the kid and is all you would expect your HC to say about your Freshman QB.

Let's face it, if Luke's last name wasn't McCaffrey, nobody around here would even care. He wants to play QB and we've all seen enough to know we're glad it won't be here. As for Wan'dale, yes he was a talented receiver that Frost & Co misused out of necessity. It is what it is and he gone. I'm just excited at the prospects of maybe now having a running back that weighs more than 175 run between the tackles. But if some guys in the WR room (and the QB) don't step up to keep teams from stacking the box, not even Jerome Bettis would help us against B1G defenses. 2021 is the year we find out if Frost's offense can work in the B1G or if we're in for yet another coaching change in the near future. All we have to go on is hope at this time because the last 3 years have provided zero evidence it will work.

Was Frost focused on Wan’Dale because of his own errors or because Wan’Dale was the only WR with a pulse? This offense is so badly begging for a guy like Betts or Manning to step up. So frustrating.

Scott Frost was the guy who identified Justin Herbert and was his lead recruiter. Then he was hired by UCF and identified McKenzie Milton as his target for UCF. He was the lead on both of those guys. Not to mention his role in getting Marcus Mariota and Vernon Adams.

I’m getting really tired of the tendency to revisit actions from another time, 10-20-30-40 years ago, and to use those now to label certain people as racists and proceed to cancel them. However, I can’t quite put me finger on who exactly to blame for this. Certainly it is not black people as a collective, although there seems to be no end of people of color who are willing to get in front of a camera and make the claims. I guess I would lean towards blaming it on liberal elites in the media. I mean that is where we are endlessly hearing about these things. I’m sorry but sorority girls participating in an old fashioned southern belle ball is not, sans all other context, racist behavior. A guy wearing black face 30 years ago for a party or Halloween is not indicative of them being a racist. There is a rather large difference between being insensitive and being racist. IMO, the media and the majority who are pushing this agenda are recklessly setting back advancement of the cause. Seems to me demonizing white people based on their actions (or their ancestors actions) many years ago, or simply because they are white and haven’t historically suffered the same injustices is maybe the biggest contributing factor in pushing people towards embracing Trumpism. Or, at the very least, is causing many to hesitate in distancing themselves from it. And, worst case, it is pushing people who otherwise would not be into actually being racist. Personally I am tired of so many claims of racism that don’t have any substance. Surely there are enough cases of actual racism that we don’t have to stretch as far as they have been. It’s doing nobody any favors.

Because the GOP has never stuck pork in a bill? BAHAHAHA!!!

I am hopeful that losing Wandale causes Frost to actually distribute the ball instead of force it to Wandale. That is just a hope though.

I can’t believe he’s wanting to leave the state of Missouri. How dare he not stay loyal!

I guess, the way I feel, he is gone. Let's move on. I got this way with JD. His mission is to be a QB. Good luck. HCSF has plenty of things to worry about besides just the QB position. Close the thread or move it. Time to move on.

Is there a more mentally challenged team in America. I mean something is not right. Perhaps most of them have the ability to just turn the old thinker off during games

Good thing for Teddy Allen- Nebraska record 28 points in a half

^^^So much this.

Sounds like Manning has been doing everything this off-season. Definitely a good sign. And Toure has looked the part ... at least as much as you can before any actual practices happen.

Florida's Ag Commissioner says no to Governor's instructions to lower the flags for Rush.

so you're saying it was the dems who are fiscally conservative? good to know.

So, you're saying Republicans wanted to spend more.

Losing Luke doesn't hurt anywhere near as much as losing Spielman or Wandale.

He fits what our system was last year with tons of QB runs, I don't think he fits what the offense is supposed to be at all. He'd definitely help us take some deep shots but I don't think he's a fit as the point guard style distributor this offense needs. It would be nice to have a somewhat experienced guy come in, but I don't see it with Milton.

He should have been impeached every day he was in office.

Touché

Stop acting like Senate Republicans acted in good faith regarding government spending. They intentionally withheld spending hoping an ailing economy would get them elected, and it worked. They got a tea party wave elected (despite losing the House by a million votes, go figure). Biden this time learned his lesson. Its why his spending is in the trillions, while Obama's recovery was fueled by much smaller amounts. The GOP hates America. That much sit well with you, but it doesn't with me.

He was never going to Oregon until an offer came after Scott scouted him live late his senior season. It's called evaluating skill and projecting development. Scott has hit on QB's a hell of a lot more than missed.

what? edit: neither party has been anything close to fiscally conservative since Newt Gingrich left Congress. Anyone who was actually surprised that Trump borrowed and spent a ton of money was quite ignorant of his well established business practices. I'd like a count of how many turncoat Rs declared that Congress had no jurisdiction and then voted Guilty anyway. You notice when a D administration is under fire such as the Bill Clinton impeachment, they present a unified front and no one takes sides against the family 'on principle.'

I've only see closer views of the vehicle like in that story. It looks like it might have gone down some sort of incline but I'd like to see a wider shot to see where it is relative to the road. That looks really bad. Hopefully it's not as bad as it looks.

The first TD wasn't too shabby either

He did not want to use Wan'Dale in the backfield. They said that before the season started. Whether that was just wanting to have others step up or early indications that he'd rather not be used that way is up for speculation (and by "he" I mean the others in his group that never wanted him to be at Nebraska in the first place). But when we kept losing RBs and we were struggling to get him the ball at WR, they didn't have much choice but to get him the ball any way they could. The tried to convince the posse that wouldn't be the case going forward but it seems possible they'd had that conversation before and they weren't buying it anymore.

Will Fauci ever be comparing how open Florida is and has been compared to NY or CA while also comparing the death rates to those two states and let us know there is such a discrepancy?

I agree with a lot of this. Honestly, I don't get the whole....anyone who ever dressed up in blackface, even 30 years ago in college, is racist...thing. I have a friend who is a Democrat and he dressed up on halloween as Obama with an Obama mask. Now, how is it more racist if he would have done the exact same thing but painted his face black? You're right. There are plenty of racist actions that are more than appropriate to point out. No need to stretch to the limits to try to make a point.

I struggle with this and I think any plans Frost had of this offense churning this last season were thrown out when Manning didnt contribute like was initially anticipated. That is obviously on Frost and Co as WR recruitment the first few classes was worse than below average. I do think Betts and Brown will end up being more than serviceable in the B1G and Nixon by all accounts if he recovers fully from his injury will also be serviceable. I really like the class of WRs coming this year too but again really young and inexperienced group we have to work with.

Notice the fall in spending in 2012? And the rise in 2016? It's almost like Senate Republicans killed spending as soon as they could and stopped caring as soon as they could! But I do agree, Obama and the Democrats should've pushed for higher spending even though they were record defecits at the time. Luckily Biden has learned valuable lessons. EDIT: Apologies for the image. The source is a white border with easy to read numbers. Dang mobile websites.

No, it's literally what you did. We're talking about guns. You counter with, LITERALLY, "What about tobacco or sugar?"

Here, let me forego this paltry salary as a PR stunt while I grift literally billions of dollars off the government. Swell guy.

Thanks for pointing me that way. A few thoughts based on the response: I think it's important to circle back to one reason I brought up the LGBTQ+ community in the first place which is that, by a large majority, they view the Republican party and many Republican policies as archaic and bigoted, a response to the question @commando posted I 100% agree that Republicans should make inroads and improve upon them, but that Trump made inroads with a portion of the community might just be indicative of how they felt about one man (as well as perhaps an ignorance to many of his administration's policies); only time will tell if that's the start of a trend The GOP encourages hate from the LGBTQ+ community moreso than the community is being "taught" to hate them. Far more so. Actions speak louder than words. @knapplc linked some of those policies previously, but there is an exhaustive list of policies and administrative decisions carried out during Trump's presidency that the majority of the LGBTQ+ community disagreed with Additionally, keep in mind that homophobes (as well as anti-Semites, Confederates, ethno-nationalists, and religious bigots) felt like they found refuge inside the Trump administration these last four years. That many Republicans choose to put their eggs in the same basket suggests they either a) don't have a problem with the affiliation, or, b) just don't like it being pointed out. If they did have a problem with it, I would think they'd want to start addressing the problem there. Your post suggests a willingness to allow LGBTQ+ community members to be treated like anyone else. IMO that's the correct mentality, but that's not the message being sent consistently in regards to GOP social policy. I've sat in legislative hearings and watched as Republican leaders and voters told LGBTQ+ workers that employers should be able to fire them for their sexual orientation. I've watched Republican leaders and voters fight against the ability for same sex couples to adopt a child. As a white hetero male, I don't have to worry about any of those things. But LGBTQ+ people still do. Until the LGBTQ+ community feels and sees consistent proof that Republicans care about their social rights, they're largely not going to care about how well the GOP might line their pockets.

Incredible

Committed to Baylor since May 2020. We only "offered" him a month ago but it sounds like we've been talking to him for some time. Says he has a great relationship with Becton. Different schools see him on offense or defense but we're recruiting him as a TE. We told him we think he can make plays with the ball and play some WR as well. He says he can run and catch but his favorite thing is to block. Says he really wants to take visits and is disappointed that the dead period got extended. Said he'd consider waiting until February to sign if that's what it takes to be able to take visits. Says Baylor is still his leader. Then Alabama then Nebraska.

No offense, but this is one of the s#!ttiest takes I've heard. They are US citizens. They're poverty is already our problem, and a reflection of our failures.

He went there to be closer to Wandale's mom

So they played how many years under Bo? Gulp...... You amaze me. If you hadn't been posting in the years previous to Frost being HC, I'd swear you were Frost.... I couldn't stand Riley, but what was his record after 3 years? And Frost's.....

He has been saying that Jaimes was going to start losing playing time. Now he’s claiming Jaimes doesn’t want yo be part of the solution. Like, playing 4 years for a school isn’t enough. For some reason he has a problem with Jaimes even though he’s been our best lineman playing every game for a long time.
