If feel that it will create a scenario for NCAA recruitment violations. Programs are not allowed to reach out to players for the purpose of recruitment after they sign a LOI. If the prospects don't make it known who they signed with, some programs will not realize that these players already signed and find themselves violating NCAA rules.

Not if the family does not take their shoes off.

I think you meant the red pill...hopefully a BIG RED pill.

Vaha and Carlos are both listed as Juniors this year. So, Vaha has another year after Carlos? That doesn't sound right.

I don't recall anything publicly about him moving positions repeatedly. I would point at grades on this one. It is nice for him to acknowledge the efforts of the academic staff, but I do not think he would have had there not been specific reason to. For example, no specific mention of the S&C staff was made. Anyway, best of luck to the guy.

Carlos Davis got time at NT and is listed at the same size as Vaha. Not sure why Vaha would be considered to provide better depth at NT at the moment, given he provided zero this past season.

From what I gather, Nebraska recruited over Tony. Something like their plan B option (in this case, elder Daniels) was more appealing as a proven talent at the D-1 level or assurance of transfer eligibility, or both. Definitely can't blame the staff for getting a plan B ready, as Fair had 23 credits to make up. Still, it does fly in opposition to their typical steadfastness with a recruit. Schaefer's quote "He's going to graduate" does leave open the possible that he might not be a December grad, which seems to be a deal breaker for the staff with JUCO.

I heard Pima inflates their credit hours

I am inclined to agree with your order. It is hard to look at Martinez's productivity this season, especially as a true freshman, as say he was 4th best, but it might be true.

Reaching? Are you saying fumbles lost don't count because he is a QB? If you were talking about Tanner Lee, I would agree. But, the QB running game is a big part of the Nebraska offense and of Martinez's success at his position. I don't see how that is irrelevant. It is actually really ironic the amount of criticism another QB named Martinez got for fumbling at Nebraska, and now, I am accused of "reaching" when I bring it up. McSorley was not the second best QB in the Big Ten or necessarily better than Martinez. What I am saying is being the #1 or #2 in fumbling is something you have to recognize when evaluating AM's performance on the season.

You are missing critical stats that are likely holding Martinez back. AM has 12 total fumbles, which is #2 in the nation behind the QB from GT. AM is T-1st nationally for # of lost fumbles with 6. McSorley has less than 3 or fewer total fumbles (sorry the site I am looking at only lists players with 4 or more). Martinez was the most productive freshman in the nation this year, but with the number of TO (8 INT, 6 lost fumbles), ball security was an issue. https://www.teamrankings.com/college-football/player-stat/fumbles

Well, that is unexpected.

Without having watched any of these interviews yet, I hope that every senior to the man is saying how important beating Iowa is this year. Not just because it is their final game, which it obviously is, but because, like Wisconsin, these players have yet to hold a win over Iowa. Add to the fact that those three losses were in epic fashion and that the Iowa head coach and program circle this game every year. As a competitor, that has to get your juices flowing. Add also that the state of Iowa was laughing at you for the first half of the season. Won't it be great to walk in there and let them know how things are?

First, Oz was open. However, with that play, the read would have been before the snap. Martinez sees 1-on-1 coverage against Stanley. He is probably coached to make that throw every time. Imagine if the read was after the snap, with how short the field is, no way he would ever have time to read both left and right, and the passing windows would be closed.

He was? Wish I knew before I made my joke.

I wonder if he knows it gets cold in Lincoln sometimes. Welcome to Nebraska. No place like it.

The Blackshirts are ball aware...great to see. The Huskers can run against the #1 run defense when they need to to win a game. Nebraska can win a textbook Big Ten-style game. Martinez played an intelligent game. He threw a lot of balls away. Made his stats look bad but let Nebraska win the game.

I did my doctoral work at Florida State. I would never wish living in Tallahassee upon anyone. They don't call it "Talla-nasty" for nothing. Here's a quick pro's and con's list. Pro: 1. I could go for a run in shorts and a t-shirt any time of the year. It hit freezing a few times (everyone lost their s#!t by the way). 2. Campus had some interesting historical figures recognizing the Seminole tribe that gave the land to the state for the university 3. Southern Live Oak trees with Spanish moss. Driving down a narrow road with that as a canopy was really awesome 4. Wildlife was great. Very different for a Nebraska boy. 5. Great fishing 6. ...not sure what to put here Cons: 1. Humidity near 100% all year round 2. Year-round mosquitoes. Multiple species of mosquitoes that have their own peak breeding season throughout the year. 3. Humidity + mosquitoes in the summer. It was too damn hot that you wanted to sit outside but you had to move around outside or you were eaten alive by droves of mosquitoes. 4. The food was terrible. I have lived many places in the US, and it is easy to say that sans four restaurants (Osaka's, Decent Pizza, Aladdin's, and Whataburger), the food was crap. I remember driving through Missouri back to Nebraska and ate at a Burger King. I realized then that the crap they pass as beef in restaurants in Tallahassee was so terrible words can't describe. And, I am telling you I thought that burger was from heaven (a burger from BK). 5. No wind. The tall cypress and pine trees cut the coastal winds so the humid air just sat on you stagnant. 6. No palm trees...except at the airport (planted to trick tourists that they are in Florida not southern Georgia) 7. 3 hours+ to white sand beaches. Yes, you are 30 minutes from the coast in Tallahassee if you want to stand in the mud. Three hours to Jacksonville, Pensacola, or St. George's 8. When I first moved there, I was told "in Florida the further north you go the further south you are". The panhandle area is southern Georgia not the white sand beaches of Miami-Dade. And, you have a lot of thinly veiled racism. It's depressing to be around. 9. 3 bars a block apart for college students and they are disgusting. No other nightlife (well house parties and the like) 10. Small city, crappy traffic. Tallahassee is way smaller than Lincoln, but as the state capital with two major universities (FSU and FAMU) all downtown with only three main roads out of the downtown area to take you North, East, or Southwest, traffic sucked. I lived in DC, so no it was not that bad. But for a small city, traffic is way worse than it should be. City planning fail. 11. No zoos or interesting attractions. Really boring honestly. 12. Gun crime is really bad around the campus area. 13. You were living with c$%kroaches. Every place had them. No getting around it.

Knapplc, you know the mod review process as well as any. I am not saying anything about a punishment, just that any post reported will be reviewed. If the post is determined to violate board rules, then action is warranted. Again, let's continue this conversation in another thread (if you wish) as to not derail this one.

Good distinction STP. Unless a member is implying or directly stating that being a Trump supporter means someone is racist/homophobic without exception. Yes, this would be a parallel issue. Something if directed at a particular member or used in the definitive. Let me add that I do not want to derail the current conversation in this thread, so if further discussion of board rules is desired, let's make a thread for it.

Report any post you feel compelled to along with a what you perceive as the violation of board rules. The mod team will review all cases submitted. The political forum is only a small part of Huskerboard, so we appreciate member feedback when it is provided.

Absolutely. If you find yourself or another HB member is the target of insults, feel free to bring those posts to the attention of the mod team. In fact, I was just going to post this post below as something that is insulting (though not necessary directed at any one person).
