      I read that as 19 millers.  Was confused for a second.  Congrats!

      Nice job on all counts. My son just started that journey a month ago.

  2. Best Android phone?  S9+?  Input?  Deals?

      Thanks for input @STL Husker, @Nebfanatic and @Waldo.  You Pixel fans just use Bluetooth, don't miss having audio jack?

      I have the first gen pixel which does have a headphone jack.  If you use your phone with headphones often then you can get an adapter for your phone or a bluetooth receiver to plug headphones into.  If this is a big deal to you then the S9 is the best alternative.

      I don't really use my phone for music. I don't miss not have a jack. Although I think I would prefer Bluetooth anyway

      Two things strike me as funny in that article: 

      • Key losses: QB Tanner Lee
      • Top returnees: RB Mikale Wilbon  (ahem...)

      It's weird that the number of starters lost + number of starters returning ALWAYS add up to 11

      My favorite seven word prayer ...

      "Not my will ... Thy will be done!"

      Sure helps me abandon self ... for Him ... in each moment.

    3. NUance

      NUance

      Good prayers, both of them. 

       

      It would be a good idea to include, "Not my will ... Thy will be done," in all prayers.  Because we don't know God's will, and when we pray for things we often don't understand the implications of what we ask for.

      I realize that a lot of good CB's and S will come out of Cali ... but Donte` Williams and the Oregon staff seem to do real well over the years getting these better players.  

       

  5. OSU - 11 in Top 100
    PSU - 4 in Top 100
    UM - 1 in Top 100
    Wisky - 0 in Top 100
    NU - 0 in Top 100

    Weird to have such a good class IMHO and not snuff the Top 100 with any player.  Even if we got Hiles we would have missed out on a Top 100.  Crazy.  Glad stars are not everything.  Still sobering.  Thankful to have Frosty and this coaching staff to create a team out of these players.

      @Atbone95 "Not follow recruiting much".  That's funny stuff.  Good little jab, although not true.  I simply used ESPN because the post that was being referred used ESPN.  The recruiting numbers actually are less in our favor under 247.

      Yes @swmohusker, it was even more sobering to discover that OSU has 12 guys in the 247 Top 100.  It boggles my mind how well we are going to do in this recruiting class, yet, still in stars and ratings we still lose ground to OSU.  The big kicker for me is how stellar they did at DT and DE.  Here we are having Masry with grade issues as the #82 ranked DT prospect while OSU has the #20, #55, # 92 best DT's in the TOP 100 of ALL players.  Again, sobering.  :-)  

      Yesterday was 9 months of sobriety ... so ... give me a break ... it's a good word for me.  I promise though ... I won't use it tomorrow guys.  :-)

      swmohusker

      Just teasing bud.  Congrats on the sobriety and hope for you to continue that path.  Osu is ahead by huge margins, this class by frost was pieces together in about 2 months, while urb has been working this class for at least a couple years while compiling results on the field at a national level.  Give frost time to carry out his vision and time to connect with recruits for a Couple years and we will start competing with recruits.  God bless and GBR!!!

      @swmohusker, I promise, I'm going to be far more patient then the other knuckleheads around here.  :-)  I'm so thrilled to have Frost & Co.

      So to you and @Atbone95, curious to ask you guys rather then in a thread ... it seems like we usually have 0- 5*'s, 5-7 4*'s and then 10-14 3*'s.  

      I'm thinking that under Frost we can see the 4* and 3* numbers flip with a good couple of years.  What do you think?  What needs to happen to get there?  We will never have the great recruiting class in my opinion, but we can still be great at developing players with Top 20 classes.  If we can restore the OL and DL pipelines then that's when I think we really see the program turn around.  So, in future classes, we really need to pick up some decent talent on the OL and DL and get a good pipeline installed here.

      Pass

  6. OSU = 2- 5*'s, 17- 4*'s,   4- 3 *'s
    NU   = 0- 5*'s,   7-  4*'s, 12- 3*'s
    Sobering.  Speaking of sobriety ...
    9 months today.  Grateful!

      @knapplc, I don't feel ripped on at all with the responses.  But ya, I'm not ditching anything we've accomplished in these few short days of recruiting.  It's miraculous.  Which is all the more sobering ... because I'm grateful for what his staff has accomplished ... and yet, it feels like we lost ground to OSU ... even this year.  We probably should lose ground this year with the coaching change ... but dang, OSU has had an amazing recruiting year.

      Recruiting matters. So does development. I like Nebraska's chances in this conference going forward with Frost and Friends.

      T.O. Didn't have recruiting classes like Meyer, but did just fine developing them. Frost knows what it takes first hand, from his days with Tom, and Tom's still there to bounce things off of. I like are chances to get back to the top of the heap, in a few years.  

       

      GBR!!!

      Holidays tend to be the worst after divorce.  I'm happy you'll have extended time with the kids. It's alright to acknowledge a past mistake.  Try not to beat yourself up over it. We all have failed.  "All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.  All are justified freely by His grace."  Peace, joy and love.

      I would hope my comment was obviously hyperbole. Rep points are worthless. I have eleventy billion rep points and I am constantly getting schooled by people with few or none. Rep doesn't mean anything - facts do.

       

      This person you're on about, they're a sockpuppet, they're getting rep from some other sock or buddy or whatever.  None of it means anything.  They're smoke and blather and easily ignored.  A few months from now that account will be forgotten or banned, and then what happens to all those rep points?  They mean nothing, they matter for nothing.

      @KnappIc, okay, I get what you are saying.  Ya, your comment surprised me a bit (as I was understanding it) ... but really, I'm not frustrated at all ... just was having fun on that post about "needing" to get some points to stay in front of that poster.

      She was so humble.  Sounds like the terror attack this pack week was a motivation for her in those last 6 miles as she was thinking about their pain more then her own.  Athletes like this are amazing.

      More importantly, the Big XII is pretty much out of the playoff discussion currently. Another year without a Big XII team in the playoffs, and we're that much closer to getting a couple of new teams added to the B1G.

      Michigan is outstanding, on defense, the offense is to inexperienced and lacks leadership. Nothing we didn't see coming though, looking at 3-4 losses this year, 127th youngest team of 130 in college atm. 5 turnovers last game, 11 penalties in the first half this game, it's noob city.

      Indiana is not that good, neither were Spartans, if Huskers manage some offense and dont commit a silly amount turnovers they will win.
