Awesome idea Redux!

On sports nightly they interviewed Scott's mom and she said his dream was to be the head coach at Nebraska. Besides, Scott's close to his family and I'm sure he wouldn't mind being closer to them.

We had it. They make just as many dumb ass mistakes that Beck and co did. The largest differences is Oregon recruits it's ass off and gets the best players possible, and they trust them to handle it the offense. Beck and Nebraska were content to run this o with lesser talent and micromanage them to death. Talent was never the problem with our offense. It was the coaching and play calling.

BSU's QB Grant Hedrick has completed all of his first 18 passes for a total of 303 yards. Although 31 of those yards came from an interception.

This games bound to end up on a porn site just like the Germany vs. Brazil WC game.

Mav, of the three RBs we've targeted, do we have a lead on any of them?

Isn't that common for college football though? They're simply getting the play call from the sideline. The only other options I can think of would be running a guy in with the play or getting the play through a headset in the QB's helmet, which I don't know if many/any CFB teams do but I know NFL teams do.

The rushing stats are highly concerning. I dont think you can run that type of offense and be successful in the B1G. I could be wrong, but past performance is a good predictor of future results and I would guess we are going to try to run a pass happy attack which wont be successful in the environments we are going to have to play in. I think it's irrelevant. If Riley is half the coach people make him out to be, he had to run a successful pass offense in the PAC to be competitive with other high octane offenses in the conference. To me it's similar to a mid major in basketball being a good 3 point shooting team. At OSU, Riley didn't have the resources to recruit with Oregon and USC, so a solid pass game was needed to overcome the possibilities of a bad defense or an offense that didn't have the talent to go toe to toe at the line with the guys getting 5* recruits.

Coaching report or university report? "Close to the new staff" So the new coaches don't want him or the university doesn't? I'll be really disappointed if he isn't allowed back on the team if he wants to. Seems like he did everything asked of him.

If people want to fix the team vs the fans mindset the most obvious thing to do is ridicule them. It goes both ways. Get over it. Thanks for everything KB.

These two schools need to move up to DII already? Several years ago Mount Union had Pierre Garcon and Cecil Shorts III on the same team. That's pretty crazy for a D-III school.

I assume all the coaches under Bo will be coaching the bowl game.

Isn't it obvious who was calling the plays?

I'm more worried about our O-Line vs. their D-Line. Remember how much trouble Iowa's Carl Davis gave us? Well Leonard Williams is better.

I agree he has great vision, but certainly doesn't have any speed to burn. The most impressive thing about him is his patience, imo..... He keeps his speed through his cuts really well. Makes him look like he has a really fluid running style, not losing much momentum. I think that makes him look deceptively faster than he is.

The amount of karma that could've been had if Vaughn signs with Nebraska and we didn't have to reschedule the '16-'17 Tennessee games.

Thanks! You're the best!

AA isn't gone yet. He still has a bowl game to play. What I meant by that is as a leader, you show others how to lead. That aspect gets ingrained into others in the program. After watching his B1G speech, I have no doubt he'll speak to his teammates with the same amount of passion on how to move forward as a team. If they don't want to play for Riley, then play for eachother. If they can't do either, then they can sit on the bench by themselves.

Not anymore. Pelini won games Callahan didnt. I get Pelini was a bit of a nut case and lost the games that mattered compared to Callahan who lost almost all games. I understand your point that because of the recordings, and Pelini sideline demeanor and how we got blown out(assume this is where you think it is close with Pelini/Callahan), but that doesnt match up to what Callahan did to drive this program in to the ground. Callahan didn't drive this program into the ground. Further, in 2007, this general press around us was that we were down but we would get it righted. I'd take that over the way Bo looks and how he made us look over the past 24 months any day. We're a glorified twitter joke. C'mon man. Callahan gave us our first losing season in how many years? And he did it twice in four seasons. If you want to argue Pelini was a more toxic person, I'd agree, but Callahan was worse for the program as a whole. Pelini was known to sh*t the bed against ranked competition but Callahan was no better. (Probably worse) Going 4-10 against ranked competition and the highest ranked opponent he beat was #20 Michigan in a bowl game. In that respect the two are quite similar but 5-7 and 5-6 sound like 'drove into the ground' to me. Edit- I'd rather be a joke on twitter than a joke on the field. It's way more than wins and losses. That's what I'M getting at. I mentioned Callahans significant shortcomings on the field, but there was nothing in regards to the disconnect and just the straight up "WHAT THE HELL" feeling I have now. I dont know. Maybe that's just a result of me being one to very passionately defending Bo as the coach up unitl the Wisconsin game or so, and then continuing to do so as a person, even though it was obvious his coaching ability was all but shot, and then to have that kicked into my nuts too. Callahan never did sh#t like what Bo's done to us. And Callahan tried to embrace fans and such. He did. It just wasnt a fit from an overall management standpoint they way he did things. I dont even think it was bad in terms of Nebraska. I just think Callahans way of operating was just something that doesnt work in college football. It's not as much of a business as the NFL he was accustomed too. All Callahan did was lose, lose often, and lose ugly. Yeah, that made it "feel" toxic, but the way Bo was able to come in, hit the refresh button, and in less than two full seasons, have a generational talent on defense, best defense in the nation, playing at a level that couldve competed with anyone in the nation, shows that Callahan left nothing behind that was even a fraction as toxic as what I FEAR that Bo has. Sure this is just opinions vs opinions, but it's how I feel. Time will tell. If I had said half the stuff that was from the Bo recordings when I was a kid, my dad would've slapped me so hard I would've looked like the imfamous Eric Crouch facemask for a week. But Bo's remarks distance him from the program more than they define it. There have been colleges with scandals that are far worse than what we're dealing with. And we hired the right guy IMO to deal with it. Good points. But youre missing the point I'm trying to make. Or maybe Im just not clear enough about it. It's not even about Bo's demeanor and rep. it's about the culture he has built over the past few years. How does it get corrected. it's not a Nebraska rep' issue. it's basically a lockerroom issue and how it relates to performance on the field and connection with the fanbase. Both are extremely toxic right now. But my fear is that its so strongly engrained that as criticism of Bo increases, and elation of his departure becomes more widespread in both intensity and numbers, that the players will continue to hunker down on the side of Bo and not the program. That is my fear. And i think it's pretty damn legit. We didnt have this sh#t with Callahan. All we had was a pretty talented bunch was pretty damn aware they were being ill-coached and not developed. It showed because under the new staff, the team showed immediate and significant improvement, and within 2 years, to a near-elite level. I think that depends on the maturity level of our team as a whole and the leaders and captains. Current and future. With guys like AA and Rose, I feel like transition into next year will be mostly painless. I just feel we have enough high character guys on the team to overcome any kind 'toxic barriers' that remain.

Would you kindly? Edit- Would it also be possible for you to crop the picture so its further down? More helmet less belly. I'm really bad at these technical terms so I hope you understood.

Cool chair No wonder TA never got any better this year. The former staff was using the QB behind Cavanaugh as an example of good mechanics. He has been known to serve up some juicy snacks to opposing seceondaries...

Or he's just unsure of his future after a coaching change? I see no reason to make him look the bad guy. Everyone knew if Bo was gone his commitment would be in question.
