  1. Huh, I must have blacked out for the time when Solich and Pelini had consistent top 20 recruiting classes, with one of those being a consensus top ten class.
  2. Don't you know bongs filter out the addictive stuff? More seriously though, anyone can become addicted to anything but Marijuana is not a highly addictive "drug", especially in comparison to pills.
  3. I wasn't sure how I'd feel about a win but like Redux said, this is probably the most fun I've had watching the skers this year. The season is still very disappointing but as opposed to most games, there were far more positives than negatives tonight. I'm hesitant to say this bc of all the let downs in the past but I feel like this could really be a corner turner.

  5. It means I won't have to see the sh#t stains all over the walls (or boards), when sh#t hits the fan bc we lost
  6. He likes Benny for his defense, but he can not shoot from the outside & his passing is awful. Samford did not even guard Benny, as they used their 5 defender to stop the drive. I am sure every Big Ten coach seen that. I seriously don't understand why he still starts. He's a nice spark off the bench but he is far from starter quality. I agree that should be a pretty easy decision on starting those guys.
  7. I may have missed something bc I haven't been able to follow every game but seems as of late, Webster has been playing the best basketball hes played since being here. He's been starting this whole time and when it finally seems he might be picking things up, he's now no longer a starter?
  8. Because the players on the Dline don't really seem to like their coach or have any confidence in him. Link? Some shred of proof? You're VV aren't you?
  9. Not to be negative but why would anyone in their right mind pick Nebraska? Or even UCLA by less than a couple touchdowns. I hope we do well but hope isn't worth much these days. All indications are that it should be an ugly lopsided victory for the Bruins......unless they just aren't motivated to be there. Personally I'm not impressed with UCLA this season, they really haven't beaten anyone. Their best win was over Utah, who's been fairly inconsistent. I think we're more evenly matched than our record shows. As long as Tommy doesn't go all Iowa 2.0, I think we win this game. Utah who just went 35-0 in first quarter against BYU? Yes, that same one who went scoreless the rest of the game and almost let BYU come back and win. And lets not pretend like those 35 points were bc Utah was just dominating, Magnum practically served them up on a silver platter.

  11. Not very good quality but illustrates the point fairly well. I'm not sure I've ever seen Newby make cuts/people miss like this. This is a big part of the speculation around Wilbon being the better back:
  12. Thanks Mavric. I'm going to say this once again. You heard it... and read it here... FIRST. The fans here figured this out instantly and the discussion has showed that. There were several members here, with great instincts, that were on top on this in a heart beat. Once again the fans were correct. We smelled PR in this, instantly. It's been very difficult for many to understand and accept the intelligence of Nebraska fans. People in authority who think they can control everything, even though they can't, just cant stand it and still refuse to swallow it. But it's more than that. It's that we are also brutally honest. The combination of intelligence, great instincts and honesty presents a unique and top notch forum for getting accurate and hard hitting information. More accurate and more honest than what you can get anywhere else. Period. But there's more. We (fans) simply do NOT accept being told what to think or say. That genuine freedom trumps everything else. Fans do NOT accept being told what the truth is... when we can see for ourselves that the truth being proclaimed by others, is in fact not true at all. We know the truth and we speak it. We don't take orders from above about what to think... we can think for ourselves. Again... a unique and very healthy aspect of what we do. We wouldn't want it any other way and it shouldn't be any other way. Last but not least "chat boards" are now THE drivers of the narrative. We lead and others follow our lead. Radio shows and other media have been coming to and referring to fan reaction and comments forever... but now more than ever. They know where the good stuff is at... even though they wont admit it. We may not have "media access" but the beautiful thing is we don't need it. We can figure things out for ourselves. We've known for 18 years that the athletic ability of our players has been way down. We can see it with our own eyes and know it with our own minds. "Chat boards" are like healthy little children crawling all over the house. People look at them and comment on how smart they are... but they're still crawling. So the time has come to stand up. The time has come to take our place in all of this... and expect that our place be given the respect it deserves. I personally have never tolerated the criticism-jealousy-envy being thrown at chat boards. It was never anything more than petty jealousy. And best of all. Because we are truly fans... we do it all with the best of intentions. Keeping in mind this is the same PR department, working for the same AD, who utilized plenty of stunts and spin to present a kinder, gentler Bo Pelini to Husker fans the past couple years. I guess I don't remember this AD going out off its way to present a kinder, gentler Bo. Of course you don't. Remember the Bo locker room pranks? Showing up in the alt uniform? Punking the players? Bo smiling a lot? Remember Bo surprising a returning veteran and his fiance? Remember Jack Hoffman? The Spring Game? Remember Bo and the Cat? How all of these somehow went viral? These things don't just "happen." They were good PR for Bo and the team, and very much calculated to counter the national perception of Bo, a perception that Bo had earned on his own. Some of the things fans don't see behind the scenes? Bo spewing against the administration, the fans and the media as he did in the two tapes that were released. Naive to think those were rare examples of Bo caught off guard. More likely the opposite. The man was a PR nightmare. Meaning Shawn Eichorst's tepid support of Bo in the aftermath of the game against Iowa in 2013 was exactly the support Bo deserved, but the AD PR department went out and gave Bo some warm and fuzzies anyway, for the good of the program. Do you have any proof that Eichorst had anything to do with any of those things? You honestly think he had a hand in the recent comments by Epley but had nothing to do with those things?
  13. Lol, yes and was hoping to never have to see/hear that name ever againI liked him I think you are one of the few. He's way too arrogant.
  14. That's unacceptable. I'd be issuing some serious team discipline or asking guys to move on. Undergrad is not that difficult and I'm betting not too many are pre-med. Kind of ironic though that they got in because of their academic progress rate. Probably can thank the walk on program for that. Agreed, especially with the level of "assistance" football players get compared to regular students.
  15. Well this Judge is an idiot. Makes perfect sense to disarm officers that are potentially around dangerous criminals, especially if those officers are responsible for their incrimination : http://www.omaha.com/news/crime/douglas-county-judge-s-gun-ban-in-courtroom-has-officers/article_55056626-a523-11e5-8ee7-2b098eef3731.html
  16. Sorry to see him go. Had pretty high hopes for the kid coming in.

  18. Been sitting at Eppley since 3 this afternoon. I really hate Frontier.

      I dont think i'd sit in an airport for 24 hours.

      I was there for a total of 10 hours for a mechanical issue with the plane.

      Too bad they couldn't estimate how long it would be. You could have left the airport and done something.

  19. The criticism was pretty well deserved in the early part of the season IMO, although if the rest of the games were like BYU, sounds like it should have been more directed at Langs (although he caught plenty) than Newby. I definitely agree Newby got better as the season went on. In the beginning he was very hesitant. It seemed around the time of the Minny game (his first big run), he finally stopped dancing around nearly as much and started lowering his shoulder on runs, finding the hole and running with some authority.
  20. IMO it should but unfortunately it doesn't because he's not on one of the best teams in cfb.
  21. Yes he is. Which is why it makes ZERO sense that he's seen ZERO playing time.
  22. This to me kind of looks like one of those plays where if they called it every time there'd be 40 holds a game. Kind of seems so routine now they let this slide. However, I've noticed across the B1G and college football this year that holding is an uncommon call - jokingly uncommon, even when it's patently obvious. Looks like the play KW got flagged for the illegal hands to the face penalty. BS call.
  23. It has to do with a little thing called snapchat and her not wanting to be considered a slut by her sorority sisters
