  1. 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

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  8. 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.

  10. 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.

  18. 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.

  20. 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.

  23. FWIW, I don't intend to make you feel like I misrepresent your opinions. On average, I try to be honest and avoid quips/sarcasm in our discussions in order to keep conversations on track (I'm not perfect at that, admittedly). That said, I have difficulty understanding the logic behind a lot of your posts. I'm not saying that's exclusively a 'you' problem. I just don't follow the logic and a lot of red flags pop out to me as I read them. Case in point, this line: I see this as a marginalization and a false equivalency. You don't. I'm not saying you're wrong and I'm right, I just can't follow the logic. I think a lot of people are concerned about tobacco, but injecting it into a conversation about guns feels dishonest and mostly irrelevant. Both issues can be addressed. That doesn't mean we all have to be concerned about both of them equitably or that they even belong in the same conversation. I think it's just fundamental differences in perspectives that make it difficult to see eye to eye on some issues, but I appreciate the discussion even so.

  25. 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.

  27. For the life of me I can’t understand why you keep making this a situation on seatbelt laws? Was it a commonly held view at that time, that only one law that year or decade could be passed at a time? If so, then I guess seatbelts could have taken a back seat to other legislation. I’m assuming other legislation also took place and by that standard I have never given an indication that seatbelt laws are questionable legislation. Trying to ask about seatbelts in any other way will not change my view. You are way off base here, and claiming things I don’t believe I said. Thought it was pretty clear. I asked why the same amount of energy was not being used to over regulate tobacco to the point it won’t be responsible for deaths or health issues anymore if that is the point of product legislation. The ONLY reason I said don’t do anymore gun legislation is because current laws ARE NOT being enforced properly. It was NEVER, an either/or issue that you are insinuating I claim it to be with something like tobacco. I also made a claim that most of the laws proposed will not solve the majority of gun related issues in society. I like having discussions with you, but too often you turn my words into something they are not based on what you think I am trying to say vs actually commenting on what I actually say. Bottom line, if people want to further infringe on a certain bill of rights because of safety issue then they sure as hell should be concerned with products like tobacco AT THE SAME TIME, since it actually affects MORE people, would help a greater good and not further infringe on a certain bill of right

  29. 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.

  30. 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.

  34. He wasn’t posting and making a statement about the economy when I wrote what you quoted. he made a direct statement about a direct number of crossover votes. I can’t get anymore specific on what data I asked for. Another poster couldn’t seem to find data on recovery comparisons (though I’m guessing didn’t really want to find it) so I posted it for him. Graph bombing isn’t graph bombing when it’s data that’s asked for and relevant to the conversation.

  36. 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.

  37. Glad for Luke. We all have opinions and views. For me, we lose either way ... because of what we think, the Head Coach had his view/opinion ... and it sounds like quite a lot of the board disagrees with Scott. "There’s no doubt in my mind Luke McCaffrey is the future around here,” said Frost. So, to those are glad we lost Luke ... what is your view of Frost and his "eye" on the QB position?
