Second.

I'd have to find it for sure but I bet mine was more than five. I try to cut it down to just what I'm replying to but in this case I believe I was trying to break the post I was quoting up into several chunks to make it clear which part I was replying to. Thanks.

I had this same problem on a post I had with several quotes. I changed one of the sets from [ quote ] ... [ /quote] (without the spaces, of course) to just a " ... " and it worked fine. I tried to change them back to the coded quotes but it wouldn't work. Never could figure it out so I left one of them as " ... " and went on with life.

I don't really disagree, only repeating what is usually said about many college QBs. I find it amusing when "experts" say that a college QB will have to learn to be under center more to play in the NFL. Have they watched the Pats or Colts over the last 7-8 years? Well i don't know how much longer the Colts will be running the spread, now that it seems that Manning could be gone. If anyone can pick up (close to) where Manning left off, it would be Luck.

Did I dream this up or didn't we have a transfer from SD St. when we played them last year? Maybe Shoff will go up there for a year or two then work south if he shows he's up to the job.... Edit: Found it: LB Jim Ebke. Originally from Lincoln East via SD St.

Since EZ-E replied to my quote in Tommy's thread saying he would start this thread, I'll resond here as well. The discussion I started was in response to a post about his mechanics. I said i thought he had overall good mechanics but I thought his delivery was a little on the slow side. I think you can see some of that in the three throws starting at 0:55 - longer stride and brings the ball down. Those three are all fairly long throws so it's a little unfair but my original post was based on watching his state championship game this year where I saw the same thing on 15-20 yd throws. However, as I said many times in the other thread, I think he has the makings of a very good QB. Of any "flaw" a QB could have, a slower delivery is the least of my worries, especially in our offense where we don't throw a lot of quick timing routes. Also, I think footwork is easier to correct than arm motion which could gain him a lot just by shortening his stride a little bit - quicker, better weight transfer, etc. I would generally agree with EZ-E that he could use some work on footwork and delivery but he's no where near "project" status. There are probably only a couple QBs coming out of HS that don't need some work so getting a guy who's this close is a very nice get for us.

I'm not sure how you can question his arm strength. Look at the very first clip. He throws it on a dime 60 yards downfield even though he can't really step into it because he's about to be hit. That's more than enough arm strength for me.

But apparently he decides to stay. From ESPN: (emphasis added)

Don't fly - you have to drive so you can circle his house and he can see a Nebraska license plate Too bad he's from Missouri. Yeah, I thought about the possibility of him not having NE plates and almost included it but thought it was overkill. I guess he'll have to rent or borrow one.

As for the WR spot. Alonzo Moore probably ends up there if things go the right way. There is a lot of young talent at the position right now, so it wasn't an overly pressing need. The coaches are raving about what Tariq Allen did on the scout team. I think he becomes a stud With Enunwa, Bell, Turner, Allen and Westerkamp, we are pretty set at WR for a few years. One is good for this class.

Agree. Seems to me like two per class should be the absolute minimum. Even if we get Peat (*hoping*) I still wouldn't mind another. Especially with talked of a transfer out.

Heard?! That's a new one to me. I think a few people mentioned Abdullah moving to CB. I heard that also (not pun intended). That seems odd to me as Abdullah seemed to be the #2 RB by the end of the year.

From ESPN: Pretty fast rise for Kelly. Considering how no one thinks you can run a spread offense in the NFL, this is an interesting choice.

I watched his state final in wrestling last year and he was very good. I watched him play football this year and wasn't overly impressed. In fact, I had to specifically watch for him because he really didn't make very many plays that night. However, I wouldn't mind him getting a shot to see what happens.

Not sure what your definition of a "few weeks" is but we did get Afalava and Moss just over two weeks ago. Those are the only two in the last month, however. Edit: Only two commits of the non-silent variety.

If you're talking about athletic accomplishments in Nebraska, Strickland is way up there. Tough to top Gale Sayers overall, IMO. Tough to not rank Sayers on any list of athletes..................but beyond high school, he really has nothing on his resume other than football........or did I miss something...........? True, but I guess I don't penalize someone too much for being so outstanding at one thing such that they didn't have to do anything else. He set the NE state long jump record that stood for about 45 years and even now is only 1/2 inch off the record. Plus, even though he only played football, he showed his versatility by not only being a two-time rushing champs but also being one of the best return men in the history of the league. Kind of a good at many things vs. great at one thing arguement.

Probably just remembering from early in the year. Abdullah was the KR from day one but it was Green and Heard who were in the backfield quite a bit more early in the season. Later in the year, you saw more of Abdullah back there. As of now, I'd say AA is #2 but he didn't start out that way.

I have to stop and read this evey time I check this thread - still makes me laugh.

Second.

If you're saying the situation can't be fixed, I sure hope you're wrong. We've been going to wrong way (debt-wise) for a long time and it'll take a lot to get it even pointed in the right direction.
