  1. After my rant about concussions in a past thread, even Dr. Strangelove thinks the targeting call on Gerry was garbage.

  2. This team can lose to Purdue but beat a top 10 team that has won a Rose and Cotton bowl. Wow.

      Talent issue, not an issue.

      Welcome to college football. It's crazy.

       

      Michigan State also almost lost to Purdue.

      In consecutive weeks as well

  3. 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?

      Bo first season 4 losses by 70 points, average of 17.5. Included are 35 and 34 point losses.

      MR first season (so far) 5 losses by 13 points, average of 2.6. Included is a 5 point loss.

      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.

  4. I'm a husker pessimist, but all Nebraska has to do is get to a bowl game, finish 7-6 and grab a few strong recruits along the way. The next game is a must for Mike Riley though, not sure how Nebraska makes a bowl game with a loss to Minnesota.

      With you there, Doctor. Seems like a best case scenario at this point. Which is a bummer, but spilled milk and all that.

      Just squeaking-out a winning season would have been disappointing back in August but as it stands now it would be a nice turnaround. The BIG east really aint **** right now so it is do-able.

      You guys act like we've lost these games by 20 points each. We will be in every game this year. And the wins will come. relax.

  5. 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.

      We didn't blitz two of the times he got beat.

      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.

      But the run defense is better. U can't have both

  6. If we can ban someone for being annoying negative, can we ban someone for being annoyingly positive?

      Today I learned that there's a grown man who's just learning that other grown men eat ketchup.

      My magic 8 ball says, "soon, very soon."

  8. Michigan State is getting a ridiculous amount of offensive rebounds right now.

  9. I like the coordinators on offense. I'm not sold on the guys on defense... hopefully I'm wrong.

  10. Watching Suh repeatedly make dirty plays make me ashamed. Guy is a joke.

    1. Count 'Bility

      I remember being mad about eson talkers relating his issues to the angry lack of composure of his college coach. Now 3-4 years later i wonder. Hmmm

  11. This is probably the worst rebounding performance I've ever seen in a non-high school basketball game.

  12. Didn't somebody state in a thread a few days ago that another audio tape was about to be leaked?

  13. Disappointed with the lack of splash hires so far. Most of the assistants so far are okay, but the D-Coordinator is worrisome. Nebraska needs to shell out big bucks for at least TWO monster recruiters, pay whatever it takes. Otherwise transferring the OSU staff here will translate into more 9-3, 8-4 seasons.

      Well, until I see somebody on the staff that is a proven difference maker, I'll chalk the next few seasons up to being no different than the last 15 that left us conference title-less.

       

      Or you could explain to me who on the staff is a proven difference maker with previous success?

  14. After watching a lot of good football tonight, particularly the Egg and Iron Bowls, I think we need to recognize that Nebraska not only has coaching issues but talent issues on the field. The QBs/LBs/WRs on those teams absolutely outclass Nebraska. We have to start pulling in top 15 classes on a yearly basis to really compete with the best teams in the country.

      I agree, I don't think it's an issue of talent so much as an issue of development.

    3. NoLongerN

      NoLongerN

      Development is an issue ... I agree. But for me, I think the both the blocking schemes and the defensive schemes are just too damn complicated. We would serve our players better if we had base blocking schemes that we excel at and run plays to those we block well for. Secondly, on the defensive side, simplify the schemes so our players have confidence and can truly use there speed. The Bo years have been full of "mechanical players" on D with only a few able to truly pick up the sc...

    4. BigRedPowerWagon

      BigRedPowerWagon

      I think the talent is there but as many have echoed on here there is a development issue. If its bo or the cordinators i dont know. But our last 2 qbs havent evoked confidence at all when throwing the ball most of the time. And the ball control has been way suspect in Bos tenure as well. But honestly this is not news, it is apparent that there is a problem in these areas. 7 years this sh*t needs to be taken care of.

  15. I know it's fun to blame Beck, but the defense is getting dominated. We're being outplayed on both sides kids. Also, Beck doesn't exactly have Peyton Manning to work with... let's not act like we have the players to win.

    1. Scratchtown

      Scratchtown

      Can you say confidently that we are recruiting the ones that will? Specifically at QB?

    2. The Dude

      The Dude

      These are the players Beck recruited.

  16. Worst part is... nobody is surprised. Everybody who knows anything about football saw this coming.

  17. I know we're disappointed with last weekends game, but it's a good time for a bye week. Hopefully it gives guys like Bell, Santos, Davie, and all others a little time to heal up.

  18. Just noticed that according to ESPN's FPI (Football Power Index), the top 4 teams in the country all belong to the SEC.

      You guys are ridiculous

      Dr. Strangelove

      I don't see how Auburn and Georgia (with one loss) can be considered top 4. It's just ridiculous the kind of hype they get.

      Miss St was unranked at 28 in the AP and beat a very young LSU team on the road and went from 28 to 14.

  19. These weather delays better not impact the airing of the Nebraska game...

      Looks like they're going to air the illinois/texas state game instead tonight.

  20. Looks like our game against Miami is now going to be aired on ESPN2. It was originally slated to be aired on ABC.

    1. VectorVictor

      VectorVictor

      That's more of an indictment on Miami than it is Nebraska...at this point.

    2. Dr. Strangelove

      Dr. Strangelove

      No matter what it is, that hurts. Those ABC games are usually the most watched games in the country. Would've been nice to win that game on ABC.

  21. Whatever happened to the investigation into Alabama for paying DJ Fluker?

      Makes ya wonder what would've happened if one of our players had the same allegations. Seems like the NCAA literally just dismissed this case...

      Wait, what? Since when would anybody investigate Bama paying players? #snowballsinhell
