Whoa. Riley better cash in, and I expect he will, on the dad-power the team has now. Kurt, KJ and Les....that's a USC-esque list. NU....the school where players can rub elbows with and learn from giants. Many of our staff and former players ain't chopped liver either. I hope Kade has enough speed to get it done. Not sure but we'll see soon enough. Anyone have a verified electronic time? I've not seen any.

Hopefully they win a championship to annoy you more.

Drinking early today?

Old white guys are the greatest. His shirt fits too. Respect.

Irving Fryar. 17 years. 265 games. 215 starts. Released from jail last year after serving 8 months of a 5 year sentence. Odd data selection but I'm odd.

Cools stuff thanks seofred. I suggest folks look at final ratings and not record when analyzing coaching performance. No doubt the team tries to win em all but SOS and volatile events such as turnovers, close game results, and star player availability in the tough games all play big roles and are mostly random. Mike + staff actually seems to me to be constantly improving. From November 15 to today....there have been numerous changes and I can't say I've had a negative take on any of them. Want to do better? Change. 2018. Yeah. I predict NU loses some games that year

The part in green...that's because just about all of them have either exhausted their eligibility or transferred out. According to my count, there are literally only 2 players left on the team from that recruiting class, and they're redshirt seniors. [David Knevel and Boaz Joseph] So technically you're right, but not for the reason you're implying. Lulz. Block me please. BTW try focus on clear meaning before you wander off into your fancy implication analysis.

Bob's also have keen senses of talent and for motivation. Cooperative. They're real Bobs' Bobs.

Average rating for years 2, 3, 4 is 30 for NU. Better metric imo. Nearly the same though. '13 class will contribute jack to the team this year. 17 class will contribute forced into action players. Let's hope some turn into veterans quickly. 3-2 record, perhaps even 2-3, vs Oregon, Wisky, NW, Iowa and bowl....should get NU rated at seasons end. Won't be easy but very possible.

Another win for NU imo. Welcome Bob. Bob's are usually reliable good guys. Go Bobs!

I hereby report you to you, for trouble-making. LOL good one as usual. Need more...this board is way low on humor IMO.

Final Sagarin NU ranking: 2013---38 2014---29 2015---42 2016---45 Our starting lineup doesn't look to be much different overall compared to the recent past (13, 14 had 3 stars AA, Kenny, Randy). Expecting NU to end way higher like 20, 15, etc, you need to make the significant upgrades arguments. Maybe OL, maybe QB, maybe D and ST coaching...will upgrade enough for a 25 spot jump, but mostly likely not.

I'm not one who will be assuming the new Wiscy DC will be a weakness. Since Barry's arrival what is their great/stupid ratio in hiring? Pretty great. Now, about the DC. He's smart. Very. http://www.uwbadgers.com/coaches.aspx?rc=210&path=football

Hey listen up the big _____ski. Quite frankly, everything you just said was wrong. Quite accurately, the article proved that NFL coaches are terrible at this. So, according to you, they must all be fired immediately. But you failed to point that out to us. Analytics saves time, eh? LOL. Analytics is the ONLY WAY to determine the most advantageous decision. Something less than a few percent of the US population could do this in their own unassisted brains. Even then, they would be using analytics (in their head). You can't, and you talk again and again like you can. You seem to like to teach us so I have a question. Who is the most likely person to be unaware when anti-wisdom is being spoken?

Imagine combining the 2004 offense with the 2007 D. Um yeah no that's not a good idea. Bray....he should stay to learn 3-4 from a great DC and LB coach, IMO. I hope he hangs around.

Hey geniuses...Tom should have gone for 2 after the second to last touchdown. I could prove it, but I won't. If you read and comprehended that article you would already know that answer. More hilarity shall certainly follow in this thread.

Cool stat. Of the higher recruiting teams UCLA must lead the pack of making less out of more.

For the few here who have picked up what's going on, you may enjoy the last few paragraphs from the article (that most posters here haven't read). Is the author correct? Yes. Does the author know why those people are constantly making the mistakes? Don't know he didn't say anything about it. I know why...but I'm not telling lol.

666% more hypocrisy from leftist, roughly.

And Washington is averaging less than three yards per carry, getting blown out and has only one score in the game which came on a drive that was largely passing. So just because an OC says something doesn't mean he's right. It's great to WANT to be able to just run it up the middle every time. Actually being able to do it is something different altogether. Haha. And to pile on, geniuses don't usually give up the secrets of battle plans to national TV "journalists."

Logical fallacy. Year 3 is DEFINITELY a rebuild year. The mess of Husker football is by far not a two year rebuild project. To say 2017 is not rebuild is to say we are today but one more logical step away being "successful." That is not true in the least considering Drew Brown is the ONLY significant part of the team that most would correctly agree can be counted on for championship level performance. Today I have no strong prediction re MR's success here but if he does achieve at the highest possible level I expect he won't get into a final four before year 5. A final four is my goal for him btw, I have zero goals re MNC or BIG championships. If he achieved that within 8 years I call him a success and 9-4 years along the way won't have me hammering on him because I know his job is quite difficult (nothing like at Bama or USC or tOsu etc).

On a brighter side old OU teams used to be a lot like that. So maybe football powerhouse is just around the corner for MR's Huskers

It's nice that there are a few folks here who understand stats, logic etc. LOL
