  1. Dude, quit being so negative. How many ways do other posters need to say it, they read this board and all you're doing is calling his character to question. If you were 18 years old and had this once in a lifetime opportunity to visits these other universities and be treated like a king you wouldn't jump on it? Obviously if his committment was being called to question don't you think we would be pursuing other options as well? We aren't are we? No because KB is our 2015 runningback and that's that. Look into all you want but the bottomline is you do not know what you are talking about.
  2. This is just an awesome graphic too, surprised by the difference in statistics, but also understand that Northwestern has two very underwhelming performances.
  3. I had put this one together earlier in the thread NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.......mainly because it's nike. And I am not going to lie, I think it just unappealing. I understand its a concept but I'd vote no.

  5. Yes, either that or Marley & Me. That movie brought tears into my eyes. My wife made me watch The Fault in our Stars.... it was a Marley and Me type deal.
  6. I think it's funny, that I say we shouldn't argue over the quarterbacks because it only divides and it turns into an argument about the quarterbacks. You value one thing I value another it doesn't really matter we want Nebraska to win I don't get why you keep arguing. I was trying to create a divide, I was using stats to compare the two through their sophomore years and everything I said was disputed. I was just bringing up facts/stats to support what myself and others were saying. GBR And you're picking stats that best make the argument you want to make and ignore those that don't. For example you chose Sophomore year to compare, when TA is only 5 games in against weak competition. It's disingenuous. I'm sure since he's the better QB your argument will stand with freshman year stats... right? TMart Rushing 2010: 162 ATT 965 Yards 6.0 Avg TA Rushing 2013: 67 ATT 202 Yards 3.0 Avg Well, I know what QB I'd rather have. But since Martinez was a horrible passer, surely passing stats will still favor TA. TMart Passing 2010: 196 ATT 116 CMP 59.2 Completion % 1631 YDS 8.3 AVG 10 TD 138.8 Rating TA Passing 2013: 131 ATT 68 CMP 51.9 Completion % 966 YDS 7.4 AVG 9 TD 124.3 Rating Oh.... never mind. Ok.... You just did the exact thing you said I did. I pulled up Taylor's entire soph season and compared it to Tommy thus far in this season. The only area where Taylor was better was completion percentage. I brought up this years stats because this is the season we are in, not last season. And what was all the stiff competition during the start of 2011, UT-Chatanooga, Wyoming, Fresno and Washington?
  7. If you wish to continue believing this, I highly recommend you don't review Taylor's passing stats through the first 5 games of his sophomore season.Why do i need to go back that far, he was horrible for his whole career,,right?I agree with the Dude, Taylor's sophomore season was what 56% 13 TD's and 8 INT's with roughly 2000 yards and a 126.5 rating? Tommy is already at 10 TD's only 3 picks, 1052 yards and a QB rating of 154.2..... Only through five games. One may argue Taylor was a better runner, but his sophomore season he had 4.6 yards a carry, Tommy is averaging 8.4 yac. Not dissing Taylor but stats are stats Taylor and Tommy don't play in a vacuum however, and the offensive line we currently have is far and away better than anything Martinez played with. Do you remember that those rushing stats include sacks, which you can't really blame on the quarterback. Avoiding sacks are credit to the QB though and Tommy is much better at that. Not saying that Tommy turns potential sacks into home runs like Taylor(BIG championship game) but he avoids them as good as anyone, whether it is throwing the ball away or scrambling. My point was not to diss Taylor as I enjoyed watching him as much as anyone, I am just saying that as a game manager and doing what needs to be done, Tommy has got the edge. Just my opinion I think it's funny, that I say we shouldn't argue over the quarterbacks because it only divides and it turns into an argument about the quarterbacks.

  10. He's lost one. I stand corrected, thank you. But it is a far cry from the Taylor days...... I liked the kid but there were tons of fumbles. This link made me shake my head multiple times... http://dataomaha.com/documents/husker-turnovers-a-look-at-nebraskas-slippery-slope
  11. Turnovers were absolutely a key nemesis for us during the Martinez years. Now if you're saying Armstrong had "similar" issues last season, I'd agree. But this is 2014.Yet Tommy still stares down receivers and hits defenders right in the hands. I'm not making this up. It happens, too much in fact. I know I'm not the only one who's seen it. Staring down receivers is not on the stat sheet. Turnovers are. Is this clear? And atleast Tommy has mechanics. Last year was what 9 td's 8ints? This year he has already shown a vast improvement from last, he has 10 td's, throwing at a better completion percentage, currently at +21 in the Raw QBR and in each game has had a completion of 40+ yards. He also has only taken two sacks this year and I don't believe he has lost a fumble.
  12. I was thinking the same. Deep outside passes are actually relatively safe, provided they aren't underthrown. Not sure how many deep outside passes we've thrown this year. Beck seems to favor the inside seams. Even if it falls incomplete, it will still make MSU second guess committing 7 to the box in 3 WR sets. Le' Dude and teach I couldn't agree with this more, especially after seeing that gorgeous ball Tommy threw deep to Bell, it could easliy result in six and have Michigan St reeling early, forcing them to respond
  13. IMO the MSU defense is worse, and our offense is better. Injuries on our defense worry me. If with the injuries that we've had I feel just from watching the games so far this year that our defense has improved, our d-line play definitely has. The attitude and possibly most hated word around "swagger" on both sides of the ball has improved greatly from last year to now. Tommy is getting better every game with his reads and his throws. That deep ball he threw to Bell was one of the best looking balls I've seen for a long time...... Saturday is going to be something we've been waiting to see for a long time
  14. Looks like he's competing for a spot to be promoted from the practice squad. http://www.detroitnews.com/article/20140911/SPORTS0101/309110101/Lions-likely-promote-Nate-Ness-Mohammed-Seisay-from-practice-squad
  15. I like this, plus as the title hints to it could be worse, Michigan fans are about to storm Ann Arbor. It's wonderful For your viewing pleasure: http://mgoblog.com/mgoboard/fire-hoke
  16. I agree with ya here, little early to bring out the pitchforks again. I think we were looking forward to games, bit over confident in the previous week's performance and some senseless play calling. But the fact of the matter is we still won the game and yeah maybe we slide out of the top 25, but what does that matter if we are still winning games? I think we should just let it play out, I think this team still has the ability to be special and maybe a close call to McNeese is what we needed to stay focused on the task at hand.
  17. Had his knee scoped on Sunday. Old basketball injury, doubtful for mcneese, could be back for fresno
  18. It's actually an ESPN rating that I agree with
  19. To the ones saying he got off easy, thats not really the case. Lots of people never spend more then a night in jail. Even though this is a felony, even then guys rarely see jail time on a first time felony charge, unless of course it is something extreme, which this is not. I am however happy that he does have to do some jail time, it is the best tool to keep people out of jail/coming back to jail, send them there for a bit.
  20. Anyone see the idea for the start of the 4th quarter with the Johnny Cash song. I am on my tablet can't link, its on the huskermax page

      Question--don't the lyrics imply that we're going to let God do the cutting down, instead of our kids?

       

      I have no problem with with God smiting opponents...but I would much rather the kids do it themselves.

      I think we should glorify Johnny Cash and then criticize Carl for liking cocaine and women.

      Cash is huge dough to license. But if we were able to license MJ, you'd imagine Cash would be okay.

  21. If Perlman or the Ad hasn't come out in support of Bo yet they are more than likely getting a list of candidates ready. The fact that both of them haven't come out in support of Bo to quash this situation shows you how they probably don't Bo support anymore. ^ This, getting a candidates list ready, preparing a statement and speaking with boosters
  22. Solich is 300 years old and as for Bohl making the jump from a small school to a school like Nebraska is a bit of a stretch, I understand that he was a D-Coordinator at this level but if it comes to getting a new coach don't you think we should get as close to an upgrade as possible. Lets see if our coach even goes anywhere before we throw names out.
