Since everyone is giving their lackluster predictions, I guess it’s time for the Flushtradamus Prophecies: 1. We’re going to see the BIG XII dissolve by February. The first reply to this post will be a cease and desist letter from Bob “none of my teams will see a” Bowlsby’s lawyer. 2. The ACC, with its 14 teams, will joineth the SEC to create the first mega league in college athletics. It will be renamed the “Sports & Education Confederation (sponsored by ESPN, all rights reserved)” and will go by the moniker “SEC”. The SEC will be governed by Gregory Sankey and the League of Shadows. 3. The Big Ten and Pac12 will wait 3 years to see what shakes out with the 12 team SEC playoff. Will their champion get an invite to compete? Martinique will be recognized by FIFA before that happens. The Rose Bowl championship game (sponsored by ESPN, all rights reserved), will feature the top two teams from the Big Ten and Pac 12, as picked by a committee of former OSU and USC alumni. 4. Kevin Warren will be attacked by Nebraskafan55 within the next 7 posts. 5. Coach Scott Frost will believe that Nebraska had its best fall camp since his arrival. 6. The Kansas Jayhawks football program will lose to most schools in the AAC upon joining. Oklahoma State will always fall short to Memphis, and never make the AAC championship. 7. The Helena Handbaskets will win their first Longaberger Trophy in 109 years.6 points

To be fair I believe he was referencing a 5'10 Pelini Center that we had as a backup for several years.4 points

It's the most Nebrasketball thing ever that the only pick Woj didn't tweet out last night was the Raptors selecting Banton. But congratulations to Dalano Banton, anyhow!3 points

I mean ... there are very few Power 5 backs who average 20 carries per game anymore. Last year the complete list was Breece Hall, Larry Roundtree, Mohamed Ibrahim, Jarek Broussard, Jemar Jefferson, Demetric Felton and Austin Jones. The last four only played in six games. Ibrahim only played seven. That's not exactly a Who's Who of running backs. Seven guys out of 65 teams. For some reason I can't find stats from 2019 that include games played but the only player that had enough attempts to average 20 carries over 13 games was Hall. Those players - and those types of offenses - barely exist anymore.3 points

I had a teammate in college who would dissapear at parties and we would find him talking to the female shotput throwers from the track team. We would rib him about liking bigger girls. He finally said yeah i like big girls, they need lovin too. I said yes they do, but not from me so thanks Kurt.3 points

My point is unless anyone is given the chance to be THE guy for 20 carries a game, no one's going to click and we are having this same conversation next year, for the 4th year in a row.3 points

The ongoing theme of the Frost years has been the inability to develop/ trust RBs and seriously makes me question Helds ability to recognize/ develop talent. Its not like we have recruited slouches either. We have a ton of high school talent in the room that were heavily recruited. I don't know if held can't pick a number one out of fear of hurting the other guys or what the deal is, but lack of RB production or a star rb is completely on him. I mean even Ozogbos year, they literally tried every other back before landing on the guy who was clearly the best out of the gate. And this tryout wasn't done in practice, this was done in games. How many times have we seen an rb have a breakout game then disappear? Held need to learn to pick a guy and stick with him until someone else PROVES they are better week in week out. This musical chairs thing only hinders development of every back in the room.3 points

Word is getting around about the 'Super Deal' the SEC made with ESPN. Which is that any team they add to the league will get a FULL share of the money without the other teams taking a loss of one single cent. The deal does specify that they must go after top level athletic programs. This deal is immediate for any team joining the SEC, for they will be paid their full share as soon as they start competing in the league. NO other conference in the country has this deal to offer new schools! You can bet everything you own that OU and Texas will be leaving the Big 12 after this season and getting their big bucks starting in 2022 as SEC full members. You can bet your butt that every school entering the SEC has been approved by ESPN brass in advance. If Clemson and FSU go the SEC, the "power" conferences will just be the B1G, SEC, and PAC12 with just the B1G and SEC who will be the only two conferences that have teams who have even a remote chance at winning a National Championship in the near future and the scale will be heavily tilted toward the SEC. In other words, Game. Set. Match. SEC wins. Unless the B1G has some major development up its sleeve. Given how our leadership handled covid, I have serious doubts they have anything planned. They are just spectators to this masterstroke plan by ESPN and the SEC as we all are.3 points

Just had a meeting with a doc I trust. He said the original variant a positive person would spread to 3 people, the delta variant a positive person will spread to 9 people. Expects a wild few weeks and then the virus will burn out, he thinks 95% of the population will have had covid or been vaccinated once the delta variant burns out. Vaccines are working, some breakthrough but those folks are handling it well. If you haven't been vaxxed expect to get Delta.3 points

I think you've got me all wrong here. As I said earlier I'm a huge fan of the Betas- Bless them for taking one for the team with all their charity work with our very large crop of local corn fed females. After going to a local political event last night I thought about this thread and made a quick but scientific inventory of the room. Actually and unfortunately after tabulating those numbers- it's evident we need a whole lot more Betas, at least in Eastern Nebraska. It would be great if those fellas would take one more step for the greater good. If they could keep their mastodon girl friends at home on game days as to help us all out with the shortage of seat space issues we have on game days. It would be much appreciated.3 points

Heavens no...I was talking about the demands from the group in general. I could see it (kinda sorta) if they were under represented. But you showed us that is not the case.3 points

That's not even an apples to apricots comparison. In your examples the AD could move new-rugby conferences by himself. What's happening now is the media companies are re-engineering college football so they can sell it for a higher price. And all of the things that made CFB unique are being tossed aside for a point of Disney stock.3 points

It would require a sense of humor and knowledge our local demographic. You are in Kansas- I've been there- same deal as Nebraska- Corn fed women. If you've spent a lot of time out of the region or at least some time in South Florida- you would totally get it. https://www.cdc.gov/obesity/data/prevalence-maps.html3 points

Can’t locate the video clip, but always remember this declaration from the SS in Summer Catch - “Excuse me! I need it to be known that I like a big girl. In fact, a large, zaftig, voluptuous, full-figured, big-boned, massive-assive honey, that is what gets me going. I like fat women and they like me. Anybody got a problem with that? Big girls need love too, baby.”2 points

You know a chronically injured player who broke my heart?? Mike Brown. Was a husker and healthy. Gets drafted by my Bears. Then chronic injuries cut his (could have been hall of fame) career short. Totall bummer2 points
-
There isn't any denying his injury history. But he's missed one game in the past two seasons. That doesn't mean he won't get hurt again but he's been pretty steady for two years now. So I'm not sure it's as big of a deal as you're making it out to be.2 points

@Born N Bled Red: Interesting thoughts there. I guess what I saw in 2018 was that Frost & Held made it an open competition each week, and Ozigbo emerged as the best combination of hardest worker/best best blocker/best runner, and once he had earned the #1 spot he got into a groove and was frankly pretty awesome. I think we also have to keep coming back to how bad we miss Maurice Washington. Not directed at anybody in particular but this board loves to claim a guy wasn't that good after he leaves the team; people talked and talked about how Washington shied away from contact and from running inside. And there was some evidence to back that up, but it's undeniable how damn talented he was. If he stayed on the team and was a hard-working, disciplined guy he'd be the #1 back and our situation heading into this year would be drastically different IMO. There could be something to the theory that Held & Frost need to stick with a guy, let him have all the reps, and then let that be the thing that develops that back quickly. But on the flip side, IMO there's a massive talent gap between a guy like Washington and then basically every other back we have on the roster right now. And that surely has to factor into the conversation in a significant way.2 points

Lord knows we need help with red zone offense. I'll take a guy like that over a guy like Wan'dale as a goal line RB any day!2 points

I see Yant as being a guy that gets a few short yardage touches in the 1st half and then is used heavily in the 3rd quarter to wear down the defense.2 points

Jamin Graham didn't make the 116-man fall camp roster so it's probably just a matter of time...2 points
