Yes. Take it like this. Hopefully we blow some teams out so the entire roster gets a minimum of 4 games.

I'm talking true freshmen, transfers w/ a red shirt year left, or maybe a walk-on who has impressed, etc. I get that we don't know much yet, but from what we've gathered from practice reports and the media, who sounds like they're simply too good to redshirt this year? I'll start with a couple: Wan'Dale: Obvious choice Garrett Nelson: His motor and attitude must not be wasted on a redshirt IMO. I could see him becoming a special teams force this season.

This post pretty much sums up why I think realistically our ceiling is 8 or maybe 9 wins. Anything more than that is possible, but would require some really good breaks along the way (no significant injuries or penalty issues, etc.).

Just finished watching it. Great talk. Frost never fails to impress me. This reminds me of how fortunate we are to have him as our coach.

You are correct. At first glance I was expecting a good block and cut by JD to the open field, but as it turns out it was probably meant to showcase good defense.

Nice video. Not sure about that last play though. Should have ended the clip just before the receiver ran into his blocker (who had just made a good block).

We say these things because it’s the most anticipated time of the season and none of us knows squat. Until we see an actual game, all we can do now is hope and speculate.

No loss is acceptable, but I can get over a loss to any non-division foe easier than i can stomach another one at the hands of Wisconsin , NW or Iowa. I’m just trying to temper my expectations. I picked 8-4 last season and we all know how that turned out. I strongly feel that 9 or more wins in year 2 in the B1G would be a tremendous accomplishment given how low we’ve been for so long.

Yep. I was off on my MR seasons. I guess It's my brain trying to forget them.

You are correct. My bad. In any case, I hope he's wrong about us being "overrated".

What strong language? IIRC he stated a successful season for NU would be to make a bowl game. This is in year 3 of a coaches tenure and MR finally having his QB in T.Lee. That’s was pretty damning. I’m not saying he came out and predicted his firing.

Ha. I was just thinking the same thing, but hard to argue with DiNardo. He essentially predicted our collapse in MR’s last season. This is why we need to lay off the Kool-aid and be very happy with 8 wins. Anything more than that makes HCSF a COTY contender IMO. The future is bright.

Without NU football there’s no BIG money. There’s no Adidas apparel contract, no nice facilities and other than maybe MBB and VB, likely no other sports. But the OWH implies Frost and Moos are the villains here because they want a bigger roster to possibly get a competitive advantage. That’s the problem I have with Cordes and his article. Look, what Frost wants, Frost gets IMO, if he truly believes it can help us win a conference title someday. That’s his job!! As far as other sports go, just be glad there’s football. And quit your bitch’in about 20 walk-on spots.

At 6-5, Chris Hickman looks short next to Benhart.

Took me a while.

I’m with you. Unless we’re monumentally better at stopping the run, I don’t see >8 wins. Unfortunately I don’t think our D is there yet.

Exactly. Harvest some of his super-antibodies.

UNMC has and will continue to do some amazing things.

OU. Hell yeah! Texas. Hell freaking NO.

I said laws like this (that involve social media, cell phones, etc) APPROACH first amendment issues IMO. Never said "revenge porn" IS a first amendment issue. What I'm trying to (and apparently failing) convey is that social media related laws are definitely a gray area that bring up all kinds of questions. Some of which relate to the first amendment. I think this law and other similar ones will probably need to be addressed by the Supreme Court someday.

Thanks for pointing out when I'm wrong. Just to clarify, I said I didn't think this was a case of "obvious criminal activity" and I gave examples of murder, rape, assault, etc. Are you equating those with what MO is accused of? It sure sounds like it. If you are going to call people out, get your facts straight first.

Not at all what I said and I need to clarify that I am not referring to the felony charge of child porn possession he is facing. It is the "revenge porn" law that I have an issue with. I certainly don't condone "revenge porn" as it is typically interpreted. However, I think legality issues involving phones and social media, etc should be decided at the federal level. Otherwise as soon as you cross a state line your guilt status has now changed, meanwhile your cell signal is bouncing off towers in the other state. How do they enforce that? How can they prove you were in possession of your phone and not someone else? And will they subpoena the GPS history of your phone to see what state your phone was in at the time? What if the recipient was in a state that had no such law? All this for a disorderly conduct misdemeanor? The first amendment allows for "freedom of speech and expression". How do people "speak" and "express" themselves nowadays? For better or for worse it's often thru social media, cell phones, etc. Therefore I think the these laws should be universal throughout the nation. That's just the way I feel about it. If you don't want to discuss it further, that is fine, but please don't make false insinuations.

He has not entered a plea yet. His court date is June 12 to enter his plea. Look if Frost wants to boot hime for the Cali thing, he can. I just don't think he will. Punishing him for it makes little sense to me as well as I"m sure the courts will take care of that. Had he been a member of the team when it happened, then some sort of punishment from the team/Frost would be expected. I think that is an important factor here, but who knows. We'll see how this all shakes out.

I have a big problem with the reliance on "intent" that this law has. If the law should exist then why isn't it universally adopted by other states? It's too vague and near impossible to prove guilt without making assumptions. I think laws like this that approach First Amendment discussions should be determined at the federal level.
