  1. Kid could go anywhere he wants and he goes to Ole Miss? Wonder how much they paid him. Only a matter of time before they get caught.

    I was thinking the same thing. One visit and he commits. Do sec team have a cap?

     

    It was actually more than one visit. He went with his parents a couple of times.

  2.  

    As cool as that stuff is, outside of drawing potential recruits I don't think they are necessarily the next innovation in S&C. The real innovators are out there working independently, but colleges/pro teams are afraid to hire them because of their unconventional methods. Even though it would be a downgrade for them professionally, I wonder what a guy like Joe Defranco could do working at a D1 school.

     

    Oh it's serious innovation...you're just not looking at it with perspective in my opinion.

     

    If I had stuff like this when I was a college football player I'd have been able to push myself much further than ever before. Being able to track your motion and your reps with cameras like this does 2 things:

     

    1. It holds the person accountable for completing their workouts

    2. It makes the person doing the workouts do the correct motion

     

     

    The #1 problem with weight lifters in gyms and in programs is incorrect motion when lifting. You don't get the right motion, you're not benefiting fully. This software is mind boggling tying in their nutrition, academics and S&C...it's amazing.

     

    I wonder how many BCS programs use this technology now? I know Nebraska and Texas A&M use it.

  3. So this is what a glorified high school coach looks like when running a practice at a BCS program? WOW! Over 3/4 of the team just standing there while their offense works on something...

     

    Alabama fans are laughing their asses off looking at those videos.

     

    I would be shocked if they didn't have a losing season. They don't even have players going through drills when they are not doing whatever it is they are doing in the video.

  4. Totally forgot about the Hudl software that started in Lincoln.

     

     

    Edit: Also, I know the guys at Three Pillars Media (made the video above). Good friends and better people.

    Was hudl made be an NU student?

     

    The CEO was working with the football team in the video department and came up with a better way to distribute film. Hudl is a great invention for high school film. Some colleges have their own software developed for studying film, but many still use Hudl for distribution and highlights. Georgia has one of the most advanced video software I have seen at the college level.

  5. This article goes over some of the information.... http://sports.espn.g...tory?id=5312405

     

    The thing is, there is no longer an edge in weight training anymore as all major programs across the country do the same lifts. The school that pioneers the next big thing will be the team that gets the competitive edge. I hope what Nebraska is building right now will be the next big thing.

     

     

     

    You mean like EliteForm software that is partnered with University of Nebraska Strength and Conditioning program that is bringing the next generation of training to athletes and coaches?

     

     

    I think we are pioneers and will continue to be for a long time.

     

    Yep, that is part of it. Here is a video I watched

  6. Prior to the 2012 season, among current BCS Conference schools, Pelini was only the sixth first-time head coach in NCAA history to win at least nine games in each of his first four seasons. Three of the six coaches to accomplish that feat coached at Nebraska (Pelini, Tom Osborne and Frank Solich).

     

    That fact was found on Huskers.com.

  7. For all of the wins and championships the program has, there are still 17 programs out there that Nebraska has a losing record against, and five of those programs reside in the B1G conference.

     

    Ohio State has three wins to our one win in that series.

     

    Michigan holds a 4-3-1 advantage. This coming season the series could end up being tied?

     

    Michigan State has never defeated Nebraska.

     

    We have winning records against Penn State and Iowa,

     

    Minnesota holds a 29-21-2 advantage.

     

    Indiana holds a 9-7-1 advantage.

     

    Purdue holds a 1-0 advantage.

     

    With MN and either Purdue or Indiana coming to the West Division, it is only a matter of time that Nebraska takes over the winning advantage over those programs. Once that takes place there will only be 15 programs left that hold a advantage in series wins over Nebraska.

     

    The last time MN, Purude or Indiana beat Nebraska was before 1960.

     

    We have more conference championships (43) than MN, Penn State, Indiana, Michigan State and Northwestern combined (41 total between all of them).

     

    In 1995 only allowed 5 punt returns and the returns only gained 12 yards.

     

    Out of the last 477 games, Nebraska has only been shut out twice.

  8. I'm really looking forward to the defense. It will be interesting to see how we perform on that side of the ball. Also on offense, hopefully not so many turnovers.

     

    It will be interesting to see how the two running backs out of high school will fit into the offense. Neither of them want to redshirt. So if they bring great competitiveness to the practice field and both of them can play at a high enough level, wouldn't be surprising to see them both getting some playing time.

  9. Why can't you every provide the info, instead of saying it exists and never posting anything after?

     

    Mack has 1 big recruiting miss...Garret Gilbert. We've had plenty of those at the QB spot. Every team does. If you miss there, you win 8 games a couple years in a row instead of 11. And there were very few poor assistant hires - in fact his assistant hires were maybe too good - because he was turning them over to SEC coordinator and HC jobs on a near yearly basis.

    Simple, if I could remember who the recruit was I could easily bring up the article.

    So when you're ignorant of the subject just keep your mouth shut.

     

    I will just let the mods take care of this.

  10. One post would have sufficed, or an edit...

     

    Yeah... but now he has 3 more posts than he had before! Its all about the post count... duh! /sarcasm

    still doesn't change his crap-quality ratio on those posts

     

    You are free to hate the posts, but some people have appreciated them. Have a good day.

  11. 5. Mack Brown is old and he will be fired soon.

     

    That's the best thing that could happen to Texas. Mack is a Made Man in Austin for some reason, but once they get smart and axe him, presuming they hire a good coach, not a figurehead, they should take off to the stratosphere.

     

    Of course, the history of Texas is one of underachievement, so maybe they do that again. Hard to say.

     

    I understand they've fallen on some hard times lately, but didn't Mack take a previously struggling program to the stratosphere (however 'brief'-ish-ly?)

     

    I'm not that up to date on my Texas history granted. I just see Mack frequently get negatively grades and I'm just curious as to some of the reasons for it.

     

    There is a Texas fan on the Ohio State Scout forum that explained all of this. I will search for the info tonight. If memory serves, a lot of it came down to recruiting misses (bad recruiting), poor assistant hires and the like.

  12. Does anyone know if the stuff like the ipads in the lockers had been done by anyone else before? Or the indoor practice facility?

     

    I think the Hendricks Complex deserves mention here as far as pioneering - who else in the country can match it?

     

    I have not seen any videos of other major programs putting iPads in their locker room like Nebraska has. I'm going to ask around on the forums to see if any program has. I know that recruits like it....even landed a recruit because of them, but I can't remember who it was.

    0 chance we landed a recruit because of iPads. it's cool, but there were 100 things on the recruit's list before a 3 year old iPad mounted in a locker - and I certainly wouldn't consider iPads in a locker "pioneering"

    wholesale-short-school-bus-tp_3922472903304101158.jpg

     

    There was a recruit that noted the iPads as what stuck out to him over the other schools he visited. I just can't remember who it was.

  14. One of the main things to take away for the defense so far from spring practice is building the foundation to work from going into fall practice. Some of the younger guys are learning what type of effort it takes to succeed at a high level in big time college football. They will continue to learn how not to play with fear.
