  1. Have we EVER needed a W this badly?

      I actually think I have noticed a shift. People respect Riley so much that they seem to be seeing "the light" and realize how close they really are.

      Last Saturday?

  2. The rising cost of college tuition is simple: the government will foot the bill and force you by law to pay it back. Only in extreme circumstances can you be forgiven for student loans. Also, do a quick Google on the correlation between rising college costs and administration pay. College and universities are adding administration jobs and not very many actual education positions. Google Dallas mavericks owner and read what he thinks about the situation. He projects a bubble to burst of college student loans and of course the fall out will be a complete collapse of most colleges. An optimistic outlook he has is that college will become MUCH more affordable.
  3. A game like yesterday is where the new analytics guy will have work to do. The odds of winning the division were going to greatly decrease with a loss from here on out. I would have like to seen a more aggressive nature on 4th and short with the wind at out back past the 50 early on in the game. Perhaps a trick play or two for that monster first down we needed. GBR regardless

      At this point the data shows the defense cannot hold in the last minute of the game. Besides uncreative playcallig and lack of effort there at the end by the offense. I think we could have justified a 4 down situation. The analytics guys are really going to change the game.

      It would take a lot of effort for Iowa not to win the division.

      We need an analytics guy to tell us we can't hold a lead in the last minute?

  4. The Purple Wizards players have great football IQ. Anyone else watching this?

      A couple plays. The kstate center snapped the ball past their QB because he saw a TCU DE jump offsides. Although they fumbled it obviously they gained the penalty yards. Later in the game the QB pump faked then kept the ball at his hip and the LB literally stopped a slobber knocker hit because he thought he threw it.

      It can at least be the "Exorcising Demons" game with a W!

      Wisconsin looks horrible so no.

  6. Big Ten officiating really needs to be called into question at this point.

      Count 'Bility

      It always has been. Its documented on this very board. We were warned by numerous opposing fans about football and basketball officiating when we joined.

  7. AFhusker, you have interesting stuff thanks. And count is right time is not on his side. Peter was on the radio the other day saying "how long of fix was this really?" Let him get it set up and Danny takes over?
  8. AFhusker has some interesting stats I've never heard. 34/80 scholli guys no longer with the team from Bos era?(only 4 due to intelligibility) That's like we are missing 2 years of recruits? Regardless. GBR today! Let's make it a night they remember in Lincoln.

  9. You might recognize this song as performed by Jefferson Airplane in a little "Rockumentary" called Gimmie Shelter about the Rolling Stones and their nightmare at Altimont. That night the Oakland Chapter of the Hell's Angels had their way. Tonight...It's my turn.

  10. Mack Brown literally owns Nebraska football. He owns us. no doubt. No argument. the proof is in the pudding. Right out owns us. I will never bad mouth the gentelman.
  11. When their enemies were at the gates, the Romans would suspend democracy and appoint one man to defend the city. It wasn't considered an honor, it was considered a public service. I ask ye now... Give me thy ban hammer and I shall rid the filth from our halls!
  12. Bo won games. He won a lot of games. So 74Husker, you should be more specific.
  13. Everyone read the Keyshawn Johnson Omaha WH article. Ya'll need to chill and help us sunshine pumpers.

      As time goes on perhaps when he has installed his system 4-5 years, I will expect the above, and that we start to win divisional titles, and of course within 10 play for a national title. At this point Riley will be over 70 and we go Frost or Langsford.

      Compete and improve. That's it. Be a better team than you were when you started. Boy, these injuries are making it tough, but all this experience for these young guys will pay off too. First year is a tough year for people who set themselves up for a let down.

      I like one of Sam's recent tweets regarding expectations. Something like, "When things set up for it, finish big". Id est, don't fizzle out and lose 19-7 to Washington in the Holiday Bowl because "it's so boring to play the same team twice."

  14. I was trying be funny by presenting the notion a prerequisite to becoming uooer management is to be disliked. Which, it the line of work I do, seems to be true. I digress, one should treat others with respect (golden rule) while also being a leader, not a boss. There is a difference.
  15. I've always assumed I am qualified for upper management due to the fact that I am not well liked. Does this make sense?
  16. If the wind isn't blowing 40 mph I like our chances this week. Crush the WISC run game and make Stave beat us with his arm.

      Touche. We have to eventually win one of these "last play" games...... Right?

      Just told my Badger co-worker "If you guys are on your own 16 yard line, no time outs left, down by 8 and less than a minute left - you got it won."

  17. Vote ban on Moneyballis now active. Nays and Ayes tallied here.

  18. Someone turn on the Sock Puppet signal... We need you now.

    You act like the coaches spend unlimited time with these kids. This isn't the NFL bro. They are limited in every way and are just coming out of the starting blocks. They can barely decide who should do what and when let alone you expect them to be able to communicate with perfection game management. A child like expectation. Give it time.

    Commitment

    I don't go straight to firing when I evaluate Riley. That's second. First, I go to "never should have been hired in the first place". Once again, another child like statement. Im just saying. The original poster is right. Commit to the team and stop with the belly aching. We arnt firing anyone this year and unfortunately Riley was hired. Less childish statements would make for a better hiskerboard.
