Ouch is right

I just hope we don't hear stories of angry husker fans going to Twitter to bash kids that do not choose Nebraska. Please fans have some integrity and stay away from resorting to negative social media.

I'd like to remind anyone watching this thread that just a week ago we thought there was zero chance we'd even be on a short list for Darnay. The surge in possibility at the end of the week was exciting, but let's not crash and get all negative if/when we hear that he's not coming here.

 

There are very good players that have committed to Nebraska, and we'll hopefully see Calvin do so today. Let's celebrate that and the recruiting wins - not go down a rabbit hole of negativity.

Yeah tough pill to swallow indeed hope for the best, but expect the worst. I trust the staff will still get some but not all the targets.

Man would love to have had this kid here, but it is hard to see him commit to us tomorrow with all the USC smoke right now.

At this point he should choose the Huskers because he has 24 pages in his thread. So much speculation and "insider" information makes guessing which school he is planning on attending really difficult.

Sweet Lord Randy won't give up until he has smoked all the weeds.

Ahh yes USC land of bikini clad women and perpetually nice weather. Looks like they may have won this battle. Steve Wiltfong prediciton is like the kiss of death. I guess we will see, but he is hardly ever wrong.

Even so that would cap this class out nicely and we can start using those connections to build the same or better level of recruiting next year. Well that's the hope.

So other than extra tributes everywhere yesterday on Veterans Day weekend of all things, what "rituals" that normally occur on Saturdays at Memorial Stadium are "overkill" in your opinion??? The color guard and National Anthem? The flyover??? The recognition of the servicemen that executed said flyover???

 

Not calling unamerican or anything like that, just curious what is being overly "shoved down fans throats" in regards to military platforms. These are the normal three things that I see every Saturday that would even fall into your category.

 

Really confused here

Sure, there's your list. Mentions of Sept 11. There are others. It adds up. BTN has regular (and many) recruitment ads, the per-game Marines "Leader of the Week" for outstanding play, etc. After awhile it borders on being one long commercial.

 

 

Ah sir, I have a very simple solution for you. If you don't like it, don't watch the games. If it makes your groin area exceptionally chafed to see a public institution honor the men and women of our nation's military, you can choose to not participate. Don't donate to the University, don't watch the games, don't cheer for the team and don't visit the fan based online forums for said University. I'm fairly certain the vast majority won't be sad to see you go. Dry your eyes, my delicate butterfly. All is not lost. You, your dollar and your opinion have options. I'm hoping you take all three elsewhere.

 

Yes, I could chose choose to either love it or leave it. Or I could instead simply question whether or not it is a good idea for the University to be actively involved in military recruitment. I choose the latter.

 

And for the record, I am not the 'delicate butterfly' trying to insult somebody via a message board because they said something I didn't like.

 

So your argument is that the University of Nebraska should not be actively involved in recruiting military due to them honoring service members during games or leader of the week? The military like other entities will try and use media any way they can to get there name out there not a surprise move at all. I mean the All state scholarship donation for extra points is a blatant example of brand name recognition at football games. I agree if it offends you feel free to stop watching games. That being said I don't think that the ceremony had anything to do with military agenda at all and more to do with taking the time to honor veterans for their service.

I am a veteran myself so unfortunately I can't see the point of your argument, but even if I had never enlisted I believe I would still feel that the premise of this thread is silly.

Just wow

 

^{Hopefully we've got these young guys drooling, because dear God do they have early playing time available if they want it...}

 

Except the coaches haven't shown they are willing to play the young guys.

 

Except they have in the case of Stanley Morgan, Dedrick Young, and to a limited degree Tre Bryant. Now if you are talking about O line then I can see an argument could be made that they wouldn't play the young guys.

Huskers come out on fire after there loss to Wisconsin. Well at least that is what I want to believe.

Maybe he is referring to certian social media or sports pundits opinion and not Vegas odds.

Yeah that is interesting, but I guess in the long run we will have to keep winning and change opinions or lose and confirm it. I think we are a much better team than last year and should be given credit for that and that alone at this point.

We were a team that imploded last year and that is still fresh in the mind of a lot of sports pundits. So beat Wisconsin and the narrative will change.

If it ends up being that scenario then I can't blame him for that at all. Seems like he likes it here, but that kind of situation can be hard for a kid.
