How could you post for that long and not enter the Woodshed? LOL

Clearly, he didn't know the password

I'm here for Husker info and interaction. I don't care to "go personal" and get into any battles. I don't really care to read about negative things people have to say about me ... and I don't really have any desire to "go off" on my fellow Huskers. Best for me to avoid as I don't want the worst part of me to be displayed. :-)

This is just....sad.  Let UCF fans enjoy their moment.

Obviously, you guys didn't get the sarcasm of my post based at the "fringe" group crowd.  It's all good.
 

Sarcasm doesn't come across well in text when there are actual people who think it's a good idea to flock to UCF games in Husker gear. 

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? 

This team needs to take their heart and will.

You and me are a must, mark.

No koolaid used. We need this big win for recruiting big time.

So, you just watched OU and Ksux and you thinknow we would struggle in the big 12? You must've saw a different game than I did.

It is a classic take ... as it should be Dude.

Knapp, I don't disagree ... but you didn't type the word "if" ... and yes, "if" we would. That seems to be the problem with this program and conference ... lots of "if's" by program that explain away our short comings by how "over-rated" everyone else is.

Jackson, Farniok, Fitz, and Simmons would equal cruitgasm for me. Those 4 would make this class special. I don't care what the rankings say.

^ yep.

I'm glad rankings don't matter now.

Rosen isn't mentally strong enough to make it in the No Fun League

Here's some praise for Tanner from a pro scout:

The people making these lists usually put 15 guys they really think are quality on the list. 5 or 6 who are interesting even if they may not be good and 4 or 5 who are a joke just to generate conversation. Plus they leave 2 or 3 out who would generate more hits by leaving them out. I keep telling myself that anyway.

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 

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

Live draft is Thu Aug 25 4:00pm CDT. I was gonna set up a league but am commish in enough already. :-)

10 teams now ... excellent. Hope we get 14, probably won't play if not 14. Need 14 to really make it competitive.

I can change the draft time to whenver works better for other people. I just want to get a 14 and go from there. Let me know if there are any concerns.

I didn't know that. Kool!

Will everyone quit saying OH YEAH so that Damn Kool Aid guy stops crashing through my wall

Just throw some tequila in him and drink him up.

That must be quite a high. Hope you recover to enjoy the game bro. We need a win ... not a meltdown. :-)

Agreed Mark, you keep on keeping on.

If this game becomes an offensive shootout, which it may, we could lose this game. I'm not saying we will, but it could happen

Alot of work? Same problem for 5 years now. Never changes. Admire? You put yourself in the crap hole. I would admire one who learns and doesn't get themselves back into the crap hole. Enjoy the win? Sure, it is a win. Finally, thid was not a tough win or opponet. Weakest conference in the country against a team that finds ways to lose. To me, this team is emboldened to keep doing the stupid stuff believing they will find a way to win. Just isn't the direction I want the program to go.

Yeah, winning games and coming back to win sucks.

Ya, you obviously know my 7 years on this board and caught my point.

so dramatic and lame

Westercamp ... 3rd fumble. Nice special teams.

Sheepdog burying the huskers 7 minutes into the game.

It's a pornography store. I was buying pornography.

Sheepdogmark with the power moves

:-) @ShawnWatson.

I believe it's a site like The Onion.

http://now8news.com/babysitter-discovers-clown-doll-in-kids-room/

That's definitely true! I mean, just look how creepy that clown guys is!! lol

Fake news? It was on the interwebs so it must be real.

Did anyone mention to the Ducks that there's a second half in the game? lol

Quite a comeback by the Frogs. Love that team. My favorite team outside of the Huskers.

Tony, The Ducks actually have 4 QB's coming in. Another graduate transfer from Montana State this time.

So positive that it's dulusional. Fired special teams coach, de-commitments, obvious talent gaps across the board, uninspired play, injuries and academic ineligiblilities. Good vibrations

A lot of fan bases *wish* they'd win 9 games. Then again, NU's standards are a bit loftier than a lot of fanbases'.

There are 9 wins and there are 9 wins. I would give up two of those wins for more competitive losses. Just me.

Well chemistry, rhythm, fine tuning your game plan to strengths would come to mind.

In the end, a kid attempted to make a mature, positive comment after what they probably obviously know was a terrible loss. Quit over analyzing the words and accept his point that they aren't giving up on the season before conference play even begins.

^that's true too.  They have to find a way to keep going.  I think we can be desensitized to the emotional fragility of our players.  

Good points guys.  Hey, I hope none of you give up on the season.  We are on pace to hit a 7-5 season.  Still very attainable.

Huskerboard logic says ISU>tOSU

Loved it!

I went over to one of the Sooner message boards and they are ready to fire Mike Stoops!  People are the same everywhere!

Iowa sucks in general, who cares what their W/L record is.

Let down game after the high last week. 

Don't think anyone has said that Fant sucks and you won't find anyone not critical of the Coaching staff for screwing up his recruitment.

tOSU is a pretender this year. Penitentiary is overated. Wisky is wisky. Michigan is again a paper tiger.

@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

As a fantasy owner of Pollard, I hope you are right.

I have nothing against the guy ... or getting paid.  It just seems to be a fact that when these guys miss training camp that often it leads to injury.  I'm a Chiefs fan who lives in Dallas ... so no skin off my bones.   :-)

Four weeks. That;'s generous. I am saying week one on the injury. This from a Dallas fan who knows that if a player misses that much time, the injury chance skyrockets.

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.

If you follow Nebraska Athletics on Twitter they have shown plenty of personal logos for their players over the past year.  I am not sure if they are trademarked (I would imagine they are) but NU was ahead of the game on this.  Cam Taylor-Britt shows his "Cam Juice" logo on his Twitter account (see below).

I thought this was about GM ripping off the trademark logo of “Guerrilla Games.”

Who are Graham Martz or TM?
