  1. You can disagree with my post, but do not tell me what to post...thanks.

  2. Recruiting update - Michigan currently has 23 commitments with 16 available scholarships to give. Nice move, Harbaugh. Let's see how many guys get "injured" and decide not to play football anymore.

      Get off your high horse Atbone95. You don't think Michigan is going through the same situation?

       

      I like how when other teams do it, it's dirty. When good 'ol, can't do wrong Nebraska does it, it's okay because we know about transfers and walk-ons. Michigan does the same thing.

      Nebraska is going to do the same thing this season.

       

      Nebraska has 17 seniors on scholarship with 15 commits. Most recruiting folks seem to believe Nebraska is going to take 21-23 recruits.

  4. Wow. Ratings for semifinals WAY down from last year. Not sure who made the decision to put them on NYE but it wasnt smart. Guess ESPN wanted them on NYD but decision makers wouldnt do it. Ratings around 15 last year, around 9.5 this year.

      The Rose and Sugar Bowls refused to move from their 'traditional' New Years Day time slot.

  5. To the recruiting junkies, is there legitimate reason to be concerned about recruiting right now? Doesn't seem to be a lot of positivity in that category...

    1. Dr. Strangelove

      Dr. Strangelove

      The class needs to close with Fitzpatrick, Jackson and Farniok. Two out of the three would be a solid class, landing one of them would still result in a class ranked in the low 30s.

  6. Not gonna lie, our recruiting momentum sucks compared to the #1 recruiting school in the nation right now... Why can't we always be #1, Fire Mike Riley

      Not gonna lie, our recruiting momentum sucks compared to the 43 teams ranked in front of us.

  7. How big of a class can we take this year?

    1. Dr. Strangelove

      Dr. Strangelove

      If Nebraska oversigns by the allotment of 3, TonyStalloni is correct. Nebraska will take a class in the low 20s. Probably 21-22 kids.

  8. Oregon has sure turned things around this year.

    1. Dr. Strangelove

      Dr. Strangelove

      Oregon had a few injuries that cost them in the middle of the season. That and Adams Jr. got better each week.

  9. What the bloody hell is this SE extention crap...

    1. Dr. Strangelove

      Dr. Strangelove

      He's doing alright I would say. Mens basketball is about where it always is, girls volleyball is doing as well as it normally is, girls basketball is doing as well as normal...

       

      But the most important sport at any major university, by far, is football. And he made a bad call by hiring Mike Riley. So he appropriately gets criticized for it.

  10. Eichorst with the press release supporting Riley as he "rebuilds our storied program."

    1. Dr. Strangelove

      Dr. Strangelove

      Nothing, until all evidence about the direction of the program points to the negative. Not to mention it didn't take a genius to realize that hiring Mike Riley was a bad move, as anybody with a brain could figure it out.

  11. GOP debate candidates BLASTING mainstream media tonight. So awesome. I hate the mainstream media, more than I hate anything.

      How dare they ask a question about tax plans when the math doesn't add up?

       

      Bringing up facts doesn't make the media 'liberal'. When the NY Times publishes an article about climate change, it's not 'a liberal arm'. It's simply publishing fact. The moderators asking valid questions is no different.

  12. The only thing that remains to be seen about this season is if it will a historic low or not. Mike C's worst record here was 5-7. How bad will it get?

    1. Dr. Strangelove

      Dr. Strangelove

      I'd argue that Nebraska has yet to play a team capable of blowing them out. The teams we're losing too aren't very good.

      A loss to either Rutgers or Purdue would be pretty devastating to the coaches, team, and fan base. Even the most negative guys, like me, didn't predict something like this. Where are the sunshine pumpers to find a positive spin on this?

  14. anyone know of a coach that had bad first season and went on to be successful?

    1. Dr. Strangelove

      Dr. Strangelove

      It's very rare in the modern era. If it has happened, it's on a team that was loaded with top 10 talent. Nebraska is not at that level.

  15. If Nebraska alone isn't proof that you don't hire your friends in college football then I don't know what is.

    1. Dr. Strangelove

      Dr. Strangelove

      True. In this case, one particular coach begged to come here.

  16. Things that seem weird still...flags and bad clock management. I think that all gets fixed. I think that the offense looks heads and shoulders above last year, it seems like every pass play is basically open, the pass is not always made or the catch has been dropped but still it looks wide open. I am not worried about the D because I think today they were trying a few different things...also...I called the hell out of that Michigan blowout.

    1. Dr. Strangelove

      Dr. Strangelove

      I don't think they were "trying some things" when Southern Miss was storming back into the game. The pass defense is just horrible.

       

      The offensive looks better, I agree. We still struggle with the tough yards. Can't pound the rock when we need too.

  17. I don't know why I thought of this just now but what do you think is going through Eichorsts mind? I guess at 7am it is probably something about breakfast but I wonder what he is thinking about when it comes to the team and the fan base.

    1. Dr. Strangelove

      Dr. Strangelove

      Complaining about being 1-2 for the second time since 1960 doesn't make fans 'entitled'. Entitled is having unreasonable standards.

       

      Wanting a team to not lead the country in plays more than 30 yards doesn't make one 'entitled'.

  18. It's not all on Davie. Banker needs to put him in a position to succeed. Needs to think about adding safety help to his scheme.

    1. Dr. Strangelove

      Dr. Strangelove

      Davie does need to get better, but it's not all on him. Jones got beat late, and it looks like Cockrell had some times in coverage that were shaky. The times when Gerry has helped over the top led to some nice defensive plays, including an interception.

  19. Are there really people taking Donald Trump seriously as a candidate? REALLY?? /shakes head

    1. Dr. Strangelove

      Dr. Strangelove

      The simple fact that a handful of people in this thread alone actually think Trump is a decent candidate is scary.

       

      It tells you exactly what the Democrats have had to deal with for the last few years.

  20. I said before I thought Riley ended up with the 19th ranked class...change that...top 10! This is soooo sweet!

    1. Dr. Strangelove

      Dr. Strangelove

      Top 10 isn't going to happen. Somewhere in the high teens, say 17th or 18th is a solid goal right now.

  21. Nebraska finishes how many spots in front of the Beavers this year in recruiting? I say NU: 19 Beavers: 39

    1. Dr. Strangelove

      Dr. Strangelove

      I'd be surprised to see NU with a top 20 class.

  22. So on ESPN2 just now they talked about the resurgence of the BIG10 and mentioned all the 'Traditional powers' and mentioned MSU, Michigan, Penn State and improved Minnesota. No mention of us. #relevance

    1. Dr. Strangelove

      Dr. Strangelove

      Penn State is actually recruiting well this season and has faced some pretty difficult circumstances with scholarships. The perception of the future of PSU is much higher than it is for Nebraska.

       

      The Mike Riley hire didn't excite anybody outside of Nebraska, other than possibly Oregon State who made out like bandits with Andersen.

      People hate Dallas. That call goes the other way and the status' reads "HAHA, eat it Dallas!" Crazy how that works.

      Florida was probably outplayed in the game too.
