  1. That was the first thing I thought of as well. What is too much and who gets to decide?
  2. Riley is regarded as a QB guru. Beck is regarded as???? Riley makes better qbs. You can use your numbers etc. But the simple fact is Riley has produced more NFL roster QBs at OSU than NU in how many decades??? The other simple fact is Riley has zero championships of any kind at the collegiate level. Producing NFL roster quarterbacks has not been the championship ingredient at Nebraska and certainly hasn't done anything special for Riley's career winning percentage. At Nebraska no, but it's been an ingredient at almost every other championship-winning school. Taking a look at the national champions for the last 10 years: 2005: Texas - Vince Young (3rd overall pick) 2007: LSU - Matt Flynn (209th overall pick) 2008: Florida - Tim Tebow (25th overall pick) 2009: Alabama - Greg McElroy (208th overall pick) 2010: Auburn - Cam Newton (1st overall pick) 2011/2012: Alabama - AJ McCarron (164th overall pick) 2013: Florida State - Jameis Winston (1st overall pick) I didn't include the 2014 Buckeyes since obviously none of the QBs on the roster have declared for the draft or are draft eligible yet. The '06 Gators are the only championship-winning team in the past 10 years to not have their starting QB (Chris Leak) get drafted, and Chris was signed by the Bears immediately after the draft. Yes, some of these guys were reaches or outright busts and several were very late picks, but they were still good enough to at least get signed to an NFL roster as a QB. All of those teams have been loaded with talent, so having an NFL caliber QB obviously isn't the only reason why they won championships, but it was clearly a big part. Eh, I only see one who was even average as an NFL QB (Newton) with Winston TBD. Saying they were signed isn't really saying a lot. Scott Frost, Eric Crouch and Taylor Martinez all signed.
  3. Says UCLA is recruiting him the hardest. Colorado, Washington and Nebraska were also listed as schools talking to him the most. But considering he couldn't name us in a list of schools that had offered him the other day, I can't imagine he's very interested.
  4. I think those links were coming from the mobile version or something like that. The URL you post has to be www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxxxxxxxxxxx. If you have trouble with a link not embedding the actual video, you can usually click on the link so that your browser opens the video on the youtube page then copy that URL and paste it back into your post. Sometimes you have to remove some extra code past the character string for the video - anything that is after a "&".
  5. I think that's what the story is from his point of view. The only question is if she'll eventually sign off on Nebraska.
  6. Auburn and Florida are his leaders. December grad; 3-for-2 guy.
  7. Arrested today for public intoxication and disorderly conduct.
  8. He's also listed as a Running Back and Athlete so I'm not sure which position we're recruiting him for.
  9. Player: Lamont Wade Hometown: Clairton, Pennsylvania School: Clairton Position: Cornerback, Running Back Height: 5-10 Weight: 186 40 time: Offers: Akron, Boston College, Maryland, Miami-Ohio, Nebraska, Northwestern, Ohio State, Penn State, Pittsburgh, Temple, UCLA, Virginia Tech, West Virginia Visits: Twitter Rivals: 247: #136 Overall; #8 CB; Scout: ESPN: Hudl
  10. Gebbia got an Alabama offer today. No Husker offer yet.
  11. Sounds like he'll be attending the first Big Red Weekend.
  12. I haven't heard that come up as a serious discussion point.
  13. Have to hand it to Michigan - that's about as tough of a non-con as there is in the country, I would think. I figured we'd be up there with two quality opponents.
  14. Yeah, I was thinking that as well but haven't gotten to move them yet. I'll try to get it cleaned up this evening.
  15. I'm not upset. I just think it's interesting. It keeps his contract running five years out, which is pretty standard for football and basketball despite all the people complaining when Pelini kept getting extensions. And apparently the salary number is locked at that number instead of having a yearly increase which is a little different but not a big deal. I do find it a little odd that there was such a big jump. It's not like Miles really had much to negotiate on. But it seems to be in line for what we need so I'm fine with it.
