  1. Every year we've read articles about camaraderie and the seniors or "leaders" talking about the friendships on the team...team dinners, bowling, movies, etc. That's all fine and good, but the trait we are all trying to see (at least what I want), is hopefully happening now, but I'm thinking won't fully happen for a season or two is; accountability - top to bottom on the depth chart. Friendly competition, fierce competition, calling each other out, fighting, or whatever productive push by teammates. Coming together to do something special isn't about puff pieces of being buddies. I've been on a team like that and it sucked, can't just be satisfied with being there and OK with losing. This is the first year it seems like that issue may be addressed by the players, I hope this offseason proves they're turning that corner and it carries into the fall. I think Tommie patted himself on the back a little more than he deserved in a quote last year or the year before, but basically saying they really didn't need the coaches, and they didn't have to hold the players accountable, those dynasty run players made sure every teammates head was on a swivel. That attitude is a reflection of the head coach, it's on the players to carry it out. I think my point fits with the OP and the article, I'm hoping others are reading that as well and the direction the team is heading will set the apart.
  2. Thinking about starting a "Fan Union." I feel we should have a right to negotiate how much a ticket, replica jersey, tv packages should be worth. WHO'S WITH ME?!?

      you do have the right to negotiate. It is called supply and demand

      Kerr didn't make any fans in NE this weekend. Taking the defense of Hess and giving him the benefit of the doubt after he ejected Miles pushed me to the anti Kerr side

      I mean, I can see where Hess was coming from when he gave the 2nd T to Miles. I think the fact that you can't take back a technical is stupid.

      I respectfully disagree. Knowing Hess' history, I won't give him the benefit of the doubt. As Mike Tirico put it, "absurd."

  5. Any Omaha peeps need a 2nd baseman for their softball team?

      Letter thanking all those involved with helping him land gig at Georgia; TO, Bo, JP, Monte and Lane, Bob Stoops, a few others. No mention of ties to his alma mater just caught my attention as, "huh..ok" moment.

  12. Charged back 17k in revenue today..I now hate a certain historically local biz

    1. ShawnWatson

      ShawnWatson

      Ouch, are you able to dispute with the merchant bank at all?

    2. Savage Husker

      Savage Husker

      The biz didn't hold up their end and backed outta service before my commission cleared. I'll save everyone from a huge rant.

  13. Oh man. I'm still hungover, glad it was worth it

  14. It's been since '97 since my team has one anything. That was against Peyton :)

      It's not easy to watch your favorite team lose on the big stage. I don't exactly remember, but I was pretty inconsolable after the '08 super bowl.

      One could only expect this from the group that hasn't let Jim Marshall in.

      How many seasons as a starter without missing a game, and consecutive pro-bowls does it take?

  18. If that's the case, is Beck a good enough coach to develop him, or Ronnie K?
  19. Anyone else feel like he alluded to his gf/fiancée having an impact on his decision to flip. Wouldn't put it past KSU to recruit the girl after he initially chose NU either.
  20. To the players: Come find me after you win a natty, I have some Washington's accompanied by some more Washington's waiting for you
