Born N Bled Red

Are you seriously asking the people on this board to analyze qb play? After the nonsensical posts about Adrian's play, I would think most would know to never ask that of this board.

Pretty damn clear Hauseman was under-rated by the "star" services probably he didn't play the "camp" game and was from Columbus Nebraska. If Hauseman was from Lincoln he'd have been rated higher.

Caption, 'Damn it why won't this button just delete my call history?!'

Is the state of emergency because elected officials are unavailable and preoccupied begging the migrants to take the jobs in fast food drive throughs so that Trumps biggest big mama June redneck supporter can get her 8 dollar double triple decker 7 layer bacon, chicken breast cheese burger, triple order of cheese curds, bucket of ranch and liter of cola when she God damn wants to?

Damn, it must be so great for right wingers to be able to bury their head in the sand and a fantasy dream world of idiotic false equivalencies.

Probably just saw how empty the room is and recognized they don't have to transfer for immediate playing time. Plus they probably had a booster show up like this #NIL

Wasn't Hausemann a key, if not the key defensive player in earning that win? Houseman was a bright spot in an otherwise dismal season and looked to be someone you could build a rock solid linebacker corps. around. That he is going to Iowa is an extra punch to the gut. Him moving on is a loss no matter how you shake it. Doesn't do anyone any good to pretend it's not.

Never happen, ExxonMobile, BP, and Chevron probably already bought out the patent, burned the recipe and unalived all involved. This will go down in history with all the announcements that a new engine was developed to replace the internal combustion engine.

Never said that should be a strategy, but this kid is SJM's cousin, as posted above, he was stoked his cousin was going to be a 'Sker. Dropping this kid by "choosing not to communicate" is bound to leave a sour taste in SJM's mouth. Just saying, we've seen it with Clester, probably going to see it with Benning, Raiola, etc. These guys should be our ambassadors, not ones counseling their kids and others to steer clear.

Good god, I knew it was bad, but... I just looked again an the departures and additions list- we have lost literally all of our receiving core. Which had become our strongest group. Think we just have to replace Palmer? Guess again- here is everyone gone. Graduated/ went pro WR - Trey Palmer, Omar Manning, Oliver Martin TE - Chancellor Brewington, Travis Vokolek Transferring out WR - Decoldest Crawford, Kamonte Grimes Decommits ATH - Malachi Coleman, TE - Benjamin Brahmer (Iowa St.) We better have a ground game, I have no idea who Thompson might throw to otherwise...

THIS IS EXCELLENT- Brohm's departure likely weakened two division teams. BIG West domination is now a 3 team race between Nebraska, Boat Boys, and the team that is so good at emulating us 20 years after us that they just jettisoned a winning coach to dismantle everything their hall of fame athletic director built - I hope it works as well for them as it did for us.

Bring him in, if he doesn't earn the QB job, he'd be a shoe in at tight end.

Sucks, probably damaged the relationship with Stanley Morgan as a result too.... why do we keep alienating former players who should be our best promoters?

Maybe he brought Musk on stage to give Musk a lesson.

Hahaha... I don't give two caps what Rhule does in year 1. I'm looking at the facts, we sucked this year. We have lost 8 players to the transfer portal and several other impact players to the draft. In addition we've lost day one impact recruits due to the coaching change. Look at what we have incoming (so far) to replace them. NO ONE. We don't have a single stud lineman recruit or transfer let alone 5 coming in. Lastly, Rhule doesn't have the established connections to recruits or current players to reel in many studs through the transfer portal or on the recruiting trail. Long story short, we lose too many contributors and haven't gained enough to improve our win total. Couple that with growing pains of installing a new system/ culture and you don't have a set up for a quick turnaround. You just don't. I'm an eternal optimist. I will enjoy watching the team and hope for the best. But realistically a 3 win season is a very likely outcome for next year no matter who the coach is.

I get what you're saying, but unless we find a whole OLine and a receiver than can blow the top off like Palmer, we are hosed. The one wildcard is the defense. Perhaps we could see enough improvements on that side of the ball to steal a win or two defensively. But our offense regressed big time IMO.

Some of you guys are gluttons for punishment. We will be bad next year, anything else and you are setting yourself up for misery and you'll be wanting to fire Rhule after our first loss. We start out 0-3, win at LA Tech, Northwestern and MAYBE Maryland for a 3 win season. Anything better would be a pleasant surprise. I just don't see it happening.

You're way more optimistic than I. I think we struggle hard. Hiring Rhule was a long term play, since he's not a sitting coach. We are loosing too much to the draft/transfer and Rhule doesn't have the connections to poach off a current team like a sitting coach could, nor has he been out on the recruiting trail with established relationships. Next year will probably be worse than this year. The question is how do we rebound in year 2?

College football is cyclical. Maybe we are witnessing the tipping point where offensive lines have become soo massive that the best counter is speed and endurance. I tend to think this is why smaller schools, have been able to have greater success against the BIG offensive lines. Their dines couldn't hold up in a tug of war contest, but are able to get under, around, and trough ginormous olines.

My hope is that this type of recruiting also applies to small school Nebraska kids. Drew Ott and Nathan Bazata both deserved better than a PWO offer from the Huskers and proved it at Iowa. Kids like Kwinton and the twomguys I mentioned shouldn't be overlooked due to the competition they face and parents that don't/ can't run them all over the country to camps.

How anyone can automatically fault Riaola based on 1 year is beyond me. Not only was it 1 year, it was a year in which both tackles are sophomores, breaking in a new starting center (you know, the guy who makes calls on the line) installing a new offense, the coach getting fired two games in resulting in changes to the offense, 0 commitment to the run the top two guys being out (one for idiocy in the the offseason, one due to injury). Second string depth is all Sophomores or younger. To top it off, strength and conditioning clearly had a negative impact on the line's footwork, agility and speed. I mean- he walked into a nightmare situation. - I wouldn't be surprised if he advised Dylan to go elsewhere because with talent and age on hand, Dylan wouldn't likely finish his career without significant injuries.

But they'd still vote for her if given the chance, because the "R" is more important than sanity.

COVID has had 0 impact on my kids as far as school performance and stress. 2 years post "shut down," their daily lives are right back where they were. The impact on my kids are the direct impact of changes in curriculum, the inability to hire quality teachers, which means my 4th grader is now operating on a high-school like schedule-rotating classes, without a room to call home, or a teacher he spends all day with. Your insistence that student mental health is based on COVID means you rejected or did not even read the 2014 study and 2019 study that I shared in my post indicating that student stress and depression levels were already at this heightened state and rising pre-pandemic. The only difference is now there is a scapegoat allowing people to escape culpability and score political points. These mental health rates among youth are a result of systemic failure of the school system not COVID. Blaming COVID allows a certain group of people to continue to ignore the issue, further neglect and underfund schools, because "this is a COVID issue and only impacts students who lived through it." - It is nothing more than a BS cop-out.

Every issue in the world isn't COVID. The US school system is so screwed up its ridiculous. Over crowded schools, underpaid teachers, changes in curriculum that mean parents can't help educate at home (math in particular). Reading tests and metrics that are based on how fast a kid can read and "sight words" rather than their reading comprehension and their ability to sound out words. Grade school kids getting 0 time to run around and be active, resulting in an inability to "sit still and focus." School funding tied to special needs programs rather than general student advancement, meaning more kids are "evaluated and labeled" for dollars, rather than need. Also giving teachers a cop out for kids not advancing. - The whole system needs torn down, rebuilt, and funded appropriately, with a greater focus on 1:1 attention, greater differentiation based on learning speed (no more teaching to the lowest common denominator, let "gifted kids advance at a rate that keeps them from getting bored, and allow kids that really need the help to get it without holding everyone else back). Teachers need to be paid appropriately, so that choosing a career in teaching doesn't mean a lifetime of scraping by which would draw more high quality, talented individuals into the profession. And somehow the balance in parent/student/teacher relationships needs to be restored granting teachers the respect and authority they need to be effective educators. https://www.apa.org/monitor/2014/04/teen-stress The study linked above was published in 2014 a full 6 years before anyone heard of Covid-19. Blaming any of this on COVID is an easy and bullcrap copout to explain away the s#!tty state of our existing education system. Nothing more than another stupid political talking point trying to score points against how the pandemic was handled. "The survey of adults and teens was conducted online on behalf of APA by Harris Interactive Inc. last August. Teens reported that their stress levels during the school year far exceeded what they believe to be healthy (5.8 vs. 3.9 on a 10-point scale) and topped adults' average reported stress levels (5.8 for teens vs. 5.1 for adults). Even during the summer — from Aug. 3 to Aug. 31, 2013, when interviewing took place — teens reported their stress during the prior month at levels higher than what they believe is healthy (4.6 vs. 3.9 on a 10-point scale). Many teens also reported feeling overwhelmed (31 percent) and depressed or sad (30 percent) as a result of stress. More than one-third of teens reported feeling tired (36 percent) and nearly one-quarter of teens (23 percent) reported skipping a meal due to stress." This article was written in 2019. A whole year before anyone heard of COVID-19. https://www.developmentalscience.com/blog/2019/5/7/our-teens-are-more-stressed-than-ever "These finding are consistent with other surveys, and I have yet to see data that counters that trend. A 2019 analysis by Jean Twenge, author of iGen and psychology professor at San Diego State University, showed that between 2005 and 2017, teens and young adults experienced a significant rise in serious psychological distress, major depression, and suicide. And a 2018 American College Health Association survey of more than 26,000 college students found that approximately 40-60% reported significant episodes of anxiety or depression during the year—an increase of about 10% from the same survey conducted in 2013." MY BIGGEST PET PEAVE? SNOW DAYS ARE NOW "DIGITAL LEARNING DAYS." QUIT TAKING THE JOY OUT OF BEING A DAMN KID! LET THEM HAVE THE EXCITEMENT OF A SNOWSTORM AND THE JOY OF WAKING UP AND FINDING OUT YOU CAN GO OUTSIDE AND PLAY AND HAVE A DAY OFF. INSTEAD, THEY ARE EXPECTED TO SIT INFRONT OF A SCREEN AND TRY TO EDUCATE THEMSELVES WITH 0 ADULT SUPPORT, REPLACING WHAT SHOULD BE A JOYOUS DAY OF BEING A KID WITH MORE STRESS AND IDIOCY. LET THEM BE KIDS! THEY HAVE THE REST OF THEIR LIVES TO BE JOYLESS AUTOMOTONS.
