For the good of us all, it should be!

I've heard HB is infected with aids.  No wait, it's only ads.  But it's a real bad case.    

@Toe, ya, the media would do well to have "the good of us all [in mind].  If you believe that ... good luck with that.

Take your frustrations to the P&R forum where it belongs then.

And please stop attaching my name to your sermons.  

It's fascinating what kind of judgment you have.  I didn't post anything to you.  You posted your mocking video on my status.  Maybe you could learn from that as well.

I tagged you in videos in response to your mocking video.  

My apologies.  I'll stop interacting with you now.

Wowza- that is cool.   How many drinks and double-dog-dares  does it take for one to know they might be good at that?

Watching that hurt my knees.

I would have fallen on my head and the bar would have hit my chin.

And a happy new year.

Then turn it off. We dont need your bad mojo.

Ya, my bad @NebraskaHarry.  Looks like this one is on me.  But hey, we are on pace for the 7-5 projection.

Not really news that Nebraska isn't a top 10 caliber team.

For sure.  Didn't say we were.  @ZRod, what do you think we are, Top 20, 30, 40 or 50?

Do I really have to explain myself? 

@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.  :-)

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

@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!!!

None of that should have changed.  Still works fine for me.  Are you talking about the link at the bottom of a thread to take you to the next unread thread?

Ya Mav.

I'd be leery of hanging around in some waiting room with sick, coughing people.  And if you're tested, what can the hospital do for the flu that you couldn't do at home?  :shrug:

Is it really luck or the fact that they have a HOF coach, a HOF QB and consistently good lines?

Sure, there's some talent and good coaching that help but they are lucky AF.

You lost me when you started with the Patriots never suck. They may be very good but the Patriots always suck.

502 Bad Gateway on that link.

247 has had a lot of that the past few days on pages I look at as well.  Then, it comes back.

Just tried link at 12:04 and it is good now.  At least for me it is.

@krc1995 Don't we always pride ourselves on being honest fans? They're being hypocrites if they said stuff like Dez did, but s#!t up when U of M and tOSU say it too. Really those guys just look like idiots and it'd be nice if everyone knew.

But why get triggered? We are all fighting for a season.  Want to bash on ESPN- yes, please, but why react to the Field’s petition with “but if we did it,,....” it seems whiny. 

@krc1995 I don’t get where you’re coming from on this. Nebraska fans aren’t whining about Fields or that Michigan and tOSU had basically the same stance on the season cancellation as Nebraska did. Repeat, it’s not whining. It is done to point out the hypocrisy of Desmond ‘Douche’ Howard and the other talking heads that jumped on his bash Nebraska train while not saying squat about others who were saying the same things. Did I mention that Dez is a douche?

Great story! I follow the Illini a bit, and am kinda a fan.  But man, they make it hard.  Great to see a bright spot like this.  

Mav keeps this up to date. 

Thanks @Atbone95!

Iowa is at #9, we're sitting at #14, and Minnesota is right behind us at #15. Interestingly, Michigan is at #22 and Penn State is #27. It's like those two have switched places with the top four West division teams. Ohio State is still #1, though.

https://247sports.com/Season/2021-Football/CompositeTeamRankings/

This early team rankings dont really mean much. Iowa has 6 commits (.88)and Wisconsin has 8 .(88).  Michigan has 2 with an average of (.97) Penn State has  3 (.87) but they with a star average similar to Iowa and Wiscy.  

It helps when you always get good in state OL...last two years 3/4 are 4*. Kids are massive and all from WI

Black Eye!

It helps that either the state of Wisconsin has turned into a hotbed of Oline talent, or the recruiting services have wised up and realized the kids Wisconsin takes from in state will turn out well regardless. But in either case, they've got a good class going.

Well again, when it's priced out at 75 B a year and gains from the tax are estimated at 300 B a year the tax covers. Even in a dynamic system with increased enrollment the spread is covered. You'll even notice that there is a category with an expected gain of 21 B a year with no cost. So arguably that money could go to tuition as well.

https://berniesanders.com/issues/how-bernie-pays-for-his-proposals/

Again, this is you trusting one person and me trusting another with neither of us doing math. That said, the article you cite + the 21 B raised by cutting loopholes approaches covering.

Didn't realize my comment would create a storm. I don't really care for Republican or a Democratic view. I'm a Conservative Libertarian I suppose. More then anything, this video shines light on what America better resolve. We are in debt, we must get back to work and have the smallest government possible.

I struggle to believe this was posted in a non-partisan manner.

We really need the mods to depoliticize the recent status updates. Mark's derp belongs in the Politics board, not here.

I really don't get any of your comments. Debt is killing this country. I'll take my fair share of blame for the debt in this country ... as should all. We must live in our means ... just like each of us do as a family. How is this politicizing the point? Just stop reading my status guys. No worries.
