And your opinion laced heavily with hate from the past.  Let it go.    

What the hell are you talking about? Haha

Seriously man...  Our staff was trying to help and it was a different era.  The modern day changes are good but holding grudges from decades ago is sad.

I never said it was right, wrong or indifferent. I simply said the facts.

What was he arrested for?  Not all crimes are created equal.

Assaulting his girlfriend by slamming her head into a wall. Just get him on the team and have him earn his way back. He can play in the national championship game for us this year.

I guess that's not up for me to judge. So, maybe.

I think you are Vince. That is basically like the kiss of death from the AD

Dang thats crazy how he must have convinced the majority of other teams in college and the NFL to kill the position also. 

That doesnt change the fact that it is ironic the person to finally do it at NU was a former player who had a FB behind him in the glory days of NU....

I think he meant Purdy. Haven’t heard anything on Haarberg but who knows 

Haarberg isnt injured. Sounds like he is still trying to figure out the speed of the game but has all the tools

Cool. 
 

look. Both of us are happy that Held was replaced. 
 

I remember fans being very pleasantly surprised with him after Held got here. 
 

Now we should both be encouraged that Held was replaced. 

We are both happy and it doesnt really matter in the end who was responsible for Ozigbos 1000 yd season. I just dont think Held deserves the credit.

I don't know.  Why did he all of a sudden have success with this staff and not the previous one?

He played all 4 years while at NU, True Fresh 200 yds, Soph 400 yds, Jr 500 yds and Senior 1000 yds. He was part of a RB stable those first 3 years and split tons of carries with other backs. He was our leading rusher his JR year and started once Tre Bryant was hurt. Recorded 3 straight 100 yds game to open B1G play that year as well. It wasn't like he was a nobody who was 5th on the depth chart until Held discovered him.

I’m hoping we get some of those 250lb mini-linemen who line up by the QB.

It is kind of crazy to me that the person to kill the FB position was a former husker QB who knew the value of a FB haha

I’m not going to sit here and support Held. I don’t think he was getting it done. 
 

But, to say he was developed by the other staff was a stretch.  He didn’t do much until this staff got here. 

So you would attribute his success to his 1 year with Held and not the vast majority of his career with another RB coach? Why in the following years did we not see a back come close to Ozigbo then? He also was what? 3rd on the depth chart to start the year? Held didnt even think he was worthy.

There are RBs around the country that run inside zone with a lot more production than we saw.  Now, I would say a lot of that has to do with the line.  But, it's also on the RBs.

Our most productive RB is one that wasnt developed by this staff...that tells me all I need to know about how poor Held was as a RB coach. When he left here and ended up at North Alabama that only solidified it. He wasn't even regarded as a capable FBS RB coach.

Hopefully his Uncles and Father pin him down and make him sign to NU haha

Or ... you know ... you could just admit you made a mistake by saying "we will improve with [them] returning" when that's not what you think will happen.

 

Instead of being a jerk about it.

You came across snarky so I responded similarly :-) love you Mav.

Perhaps you should have phrased your post that way.

I apologize, I assumed it was implied in the fact that none of them are expected to return as common knowledge amongst everyone. Please forgive me oh great one.

Uh ... only one out of those three will be back.

I understand this but I am simply saying out of the pieces that could come back to make us competitive next year those are the ones I would want. Will it happen? Maybe a 1% chance.

That's kind of what we thought about Andre this year.  Doesn't really seem to have materialized.

 

I don't see how we can lose our best player and another starter who might be our best athlete and defender and get better.

Yep, we will improve with McGowens bros and Walker returning, hopefully we get a true PG and the incoming class is ready to play.

When your team has had losing seasons 6 of the last 7 years (the only winning season under a coach everybody hates) with a combined record of 34-48, hasn't been to a bowl since 2016, turned down the opportunity to play in bowl in 2020, is coming off a the worst year in Husker Football history since the Bill Jennings era 60 years ago and has been overall poorly coached under the current regime it is hard for most people to be very optimistic. A lot of people are at the point where they take the yearly hype with a very large grain of salt and want to see some results on the field.

I'd say most are past the grain of salt and are actually taking it with an entire salt mine at this point. I'm talking the amount of salt in the dead sea level of salt.

And we seem unable to comprehend basics. Down by 11, let's dribble around for 20 seconds of the shot clock. Just baffles me that a team with so many players with years of experience don't seem to understand fundamentals. 

 

Honestly, there are only a handful of players I would want to return next year. Wilcher, Andre, and the McGowens (only if Bryce comes back). Everyone else can go on and head out of the program.

I'd gladly take Walker back if we actually utilize him correctly. I'm hopeful we get an actual PG in the portal. Not a guy we think can play point.

We have too many players with NO basketball sense. No awareness when a ball is tipped and on the floor, no willingness to get on the floor for a lose ball,  no desire to box out.

We simply play dumb basketball. 

Why does Lat Mayen play?

#47 QB? 

 

Is he being projected as a QB or athlete?

QB, will be the only one we take this class. Look at his offer list.

We have not been in contact really at all. Has not spoken to Frost since the season ended or any of the new staff, including Whipple, since they started. 

Nebraska's Joe Burrow 

I thought our concessions were reasonable compared to what I have paid at concerts etc. If you are worried about ticket prices and a runza or a soda making or breaking you then may I suggest downgrading your seats or hiding a bag of chex mix in an orifice through security. 

It is also important to understand how concession prices come to be. What does Runza charge to bring in the Runzas? What does it cost to pay the folks grabbing your soda and runza and taking your money? After all of these expenses what is the actual profit that UNL sees? They are making bank on the fountain soda, but so is every place that offers it in America.
