My Iowa fan buddy just chimed in this week: When Iowa is supposed to be 7-5 they play lights out. When people are talking winning the West and having the best D-Lineman in the country......they fall flat.

I betcha last year was a generous 190 and reality was closer to 175 by looking at him. Let's see what he looks like this year.

It's great! Bring on the chatter. Is there a B1G board where we can all go chatter at each other? Intentionally using the word chatter as that is the native language of the gopher.

While I agree with you, this slip in grammar talking about the need of some to educate other fan bases is fantastic. I got a good chuckle out of it. My two cents is that I would love multiple rivals and Iowa is the best one going in the conference at the moment. NW is a close second in my eyes. Overall CU still brings up negative feelings after all these years.

You can only beat the teams on your schedule.

No OSU in 22,23 or 25. Michigan for 5 in a row starting in 2021, and we play both in 21 and 24. In 21 we get MSU, Mich and OSU. In 24 we get Mich and OSU in back to back weeks.

He was talking about 2016 UCF (Frost year 1). You replied with stats from 2017 UCF (Frost year 2) to compare to 2018 NU (Froat year 1)

What makes you say that? If he's ready/in shape we can use all the depth we can get in the B1G. Do you remember the run D last year? Haha.

It doesn't sound like you experienced CU fans in Boulder back in the day. Tire stabbing, car keying, even gold paint being poured on cars. I don't see Iowa fans doing that sort of thing. I had corn cobs thrown at me in Columbia also. I'm going to Boulder in a few weeks but am driving my Colorado license plated car with all of my traveling Nebraska friends in it just in case.

I'm picking the Gophers to be top 2 in the west. I can see progress there.

Good read here about the evolution of Frost. https://hailvarsity.com/s/7347/as-frosts-offensive-evolution-continues-what-is-fun-for-nebraska-in-2019 This is personal as that GBR twitter account is a good friend of mine! I'm used to that analysis in a group text with my college buddies.

Interesting. Alright then.

Is that for certain or did he just decommit?

I really doubt they'd cut him loose if they allowed him to commit so early. They'd have held him off if that were the case.

He isn't a fit at all. Square peg, round hole. Nothing more than that.

The staff has over achieved in recruiting on the back of two straight 4-8 seasons. This thing won't go any higher until results are put on the field. Put up or shut up time. GBR baby! It's about to get fun.

What part about that surprises you?

I can't help but think of this when I read his name.

Could be, and of course things will fluctuate year to year. I suspect they want to run a greater percentage, especially if it is highly successful.

In 6 years as an OC or head coach he has had 4 1000 yard receivers and a couple more get close. Two of those years were with losing teams.

I think he was a very good college player. However, I think you underestimate how middle-ish the bar was set for receiving at Nebraska. I would expect those records to be broken frequently now and have Johnny be in the bottom of the top 10 in 10 years if Scott sticks around.
