Every team has a few of those fans but other than Iowa and Colorado, kstate has the worst. They never did learn how to win with grace.

It isn't that he's stupid or doesn't try. He's had a tough road in his life and had a long ways to go when he came here.

Stretching is for girls and old people, not the lumberjacks that we have at DONU. Wake up, piss, punch a bear in the face, lift weights, beat our opponents into a bloody pulp, drink 18 beers, make sweet beautiful love, go to sleep. No stretching necessary.

Frost says that even our stretching and warmups will be high speed. As soon as they are over, the players then go to full speed practicing. Everything about frosts system revolves around intensity, and it showed in the bowl game.

All you have to do is look at the physiques of our offensive linemen to know that there was a strength and conditioning problem. Small arms, flat chests, big bellies. Not what you would see from guys who spend enough time in the weight room.

Nebraska was always considered slow because we were a running team. I'll never forget all of the lead up to the 96 fiesta bowl where all of the talk was about how Florida was so much faster than us. The game proved that we were not only bigger and more physical, but faster across the board and it wasn't even close. Even after solich took over people thought we were slow but the only position that we didn't have the same kind of speed was at the linebacker position.

Boyd was relieved of his duties because he was spending all of his time trying to sell his "transformer" machine which he patented. He paid no attention to the damage that his lack of oversight in yhr weight room was doing to players and was just trying to make his million. Never before and never since has there been so many pubic injuries.

He was the 2nd coming of sam Keller but with a way better attitude.

Franks biggest problem was that he caved under pressure during games. I believe he trademarked the term "roadshell" as every time we got behind on the road his playcalling collapsed. He also was not respected by the players like Osborne was, which was evident on the field.

The draft experts have all made comments about teams' concerns will all of those guys. Tanner does really well in camps so it could be enough to raise his stock, like what happened to Fabian Washington.

Fortunately for him this is going to be a weak class at qb. I could easily see him being one of the first 5 qbs taken, which will bode well for him.

I stopped believing anything that epley said about 25 years ago. There was a time when he was the best in the country but his ego and self promotion ended that. FTR, I think that Phillipe was probably every bit as good as Dobson was. While our team wasn't as strong, at least by the eye test, they were a better conditioned group than Dobson put out there. It may have been from lacknof effort in the first half, but rarely did it look like our team was gassed in the 2nd.

Let the player who wins the turnover title each game get to drive a combine from the stadium back to his dorm.

The training table is open to the public for lunch but only student athletes can have dinner there. Any non-student athlete has to pay for their meals there just like they would anywhere else.

And the smallest guy of the bunch won the outland. What a crew!

Support staff is being paid on top of that investment so it would technically be an additional investment if we include them. If the football team has 140 players eating at the training table, I can't see volleyball, baseball, softball, w and m basketball doubling that. I'm ok with it because our AD can afford it but no matter how you look at it this is a crazy amount of money to be spending on food.

One of the former staff members was a poster on the old insiders site.

This is ridiculous. There's what, maybe 400 student athletes that get the benefits of our sports nutrition budget. That's over 8 grand per year per player for food. Props to the university for being able to foot that bill but that is just a ridiculous amount of money to spend.

I hate it when people try to compare what Nebraska would be running the option to what Navy has. Navy is never going to have an elite defense because if the restrictions that come with being a service academy. Running an option offense has nothing to do with their failings on defense. If Miami decided to run an option offense would people automatically assume their defense would all of a sudden become slow and porous? What about Ohio State? Was Nebraska's defense not lightning fast in the mid 90s? Did we not consistently have one of the top passing efficiency defenses in the country? The whole discussion is stupid and short sighted.

Agreed. There was absolutely no reason to not pursue Williams as well. FWIW, masry is a good kid and I don't see any way he would have gone out of state. He has huge upside but he's going to need a couple of years in the S&C program before he is a difference maker. Glenn does a really good job developing kids at York but don't mistake masry for a 5 star immediate impact type of guy. He hasn't been playing football his whole life like some kids but has the frame and aggresiveness to be a really good player on either side of the line.

Ruud played in a 4-3, which gives linebackers a completely different assignment. It's definitely a good thing that he will be coaching the inside backers as their job in a 3-4 is much closer to what Ruud was doing at MLB than what the OLBs are being asked to do.

In almost any other situation I would agree. In this one though, I think part of that was a symptom of our disjointed offensive scheme. I've commented on it several times but still to me the biggest problem we had was that each position group seemed to be working in a separate system. Our qb seemed to be operating under a timing scheme style of passing attack, the receivers were operating in more of a spread style find spaces type of system, and the offensive line was operating in a collapsing pocket-roll the qb out type of system. I have no idea whatsoever on what the running backs were doing but it wasn't in sync with anybody. The whole thing was just an absolute hodgepodge of coaching styles and it goes back to Riley not getting his coaches on the same page. On top of that, and I'm not one to typically criticize our offensive coordinators, langsdorf was severely lacking in his attempts (or lack thereof) to set defenses up for big plays. I could always see what Callahan, Watson, and beck were trying to accomplish but I never had any level of understanding on what langs was trying to do. Riley himself alluded to as much in the last couple weeks of the season.

After watching both semi final matches tonight, it's obvious that the Big 10 teams are clearly superior. Florida has a lot of offense but their defense is several notches below what we saw from both teams in the first match. I'm sure the final is going to be a great match but the smart money is on Nebraska.

The real threat that a mobile qb poses isn't in running downfield but in moving outside the pocket behind the line of scrimmage. The option is just an extension of that threat as it forces defenders to cover space instead of players. Forcing linebackers to move laterally as much as vertically is what makes the spread so dangerous and it removes the interior defensive linemens ability to be disruptive. To that end, both Gebbia and POB are capable of being dangerous qbs in the spread, and with a guy like Gebbia who has excellent field vision you have a qb who can roll out and give his receivers time to get off defenders. Timing passes are almost obsolete in this offense so the bump and run is pretty much useless. The only danger is coming up against an extremely aggressive defense that blitzes more often than not but that is why having a powerful running back is also a necessity.

Add an extra sprinkle of salt with that rumor. Oklahoma won't ever be able to qualify academically for the Big 10. Kansas and Texas would. It's much more likely that a school like Syracuse or virginia would flip than the Big 10 allowing Oklahoma in.
