Nebraska vs UT-Chattanooga (maybe) Updated: Nope
Loebarth replied to FrantzHardySwag's topic in Husker Football
I have a question. The B1G, in their infinite wisdom, put forth a voted on "rules to play" criteria that every university has to follow, yes? One of those rules is, "no out of conference games", yes? Then how is it the conference champion will be allowed to play outside of the conference if they are included in the playoff? -
I know everyone is upset with the decision by BA to cancel their game with us. Still, seeing the outbreak in Illinois now occuring I also think most of us are somewhat relieved that our boys won't be needlessly exposed.
Time to move on... Time to be thankful that are young men are safe... Time to focus on Northwestern and hopefully release some builtup frustrations. GBR!!!-
The cancellation by Wisconsin, while disappointing, made sense at the time, and I get the safety aspects of it. I am still disappointed the Big Ten didn't allow NU to schedule a make-up game. Now is the time to be agile and creative to create opportunities for teams to play football. The Big Ten is being the opposite of that.

I would need to see some/any proof that Illinois players acquired Covid due to playing Wisconsin before I think that is a valid concern.
I agree it is time to move on. However, I would like to remind everyone that Barry Alvarez was hugely involved, as the head of the B1G competition committee, in developing the s#!tshow rules that allow non red/red teams to choose to cancel games with no consequences. If anyone understood exactly how these rules could be gamed to a team’s advantage it was Barry. Not sure if it’s ironic or convenient that the Badgers just happened to be the first to employ this bulls#!t tactic.

Very well stated.. My question however isn't our leadership but rather our membership. Seemingly, to be at least, the B1G has branded us not worthy and is at every turn showing how they feel. As i stated in a private message, if it was SF and Moos canceling for the exact reasons that BA canceled, the B1G pundits would be publicly calling Nebraska, our staff and our administrators cowards. I think, as it stands, Nebraska has but 2 allies in this conference. Ohio State & Iowa. Iowa because there is mutual respect and a healthy rivalry as well as proximity. Ohio State (as a result of their rivalry with Michigan and Michigan politics) because that university values tradition, competition, honesty and institutional independence. and lastly, sadly, politics as a whole. Ohio State and Nebraska align more closely politically then we do with any of the other states. Iowa, though mostly democrat is also very moderate and therefore one could say also fits in nicely with the politics of both tOSU and UNL. The rest, the rest will fight against institutional independence at every turn.

I didn't say that but I (and you too) can assume they will be curfewed.
-
Actually, Alvarez said last night that wisconsin has placed all the team members in a hotel in individual rooms. So.. yeah, they are heavily restricting them. Likely allowing them to workout but even that will be in very small groups I'd assume.
-
I'm curious to see what the national pundits will say when Wisky actually takes the field next week against purdue. Will anyone of them have the courage to ask the question "you chose not to play Nebraska but decided to request approval to play Purdue", why and do you not see how this can be interrupted as A. disrespecting nebraska and B. a cowardness on the wisconsin program?
-
I think everyone fully expects wisconsin to play next week already. When they do, then the conspiracies will fly. lol
-
Here's a scary thought... What "if" all teams on our schedule that were against playing the season (tOSU, PSU and Iowa excluded as they favored playing) made a behind the door agreement to do a 7 day shutdown during their Nebraska week? Obviously that hasn't/didn't/won't happen but still... just saying.
-
If being shocked that he included Cooper in the post is castigating (to criticize or reprimand severely. to punish in order to correct.) then ok. However, to post shock that he posted is in no way (IMO) castigating. I could be wrong though as I often find/learn that I am.
-
Toe.. please don't slander me. You don't know me, you haven't privately reached out to me. You don't know my character nor my opinions on anything. Stating assumptions is just you being foolish. Be respectful without slanting your assumptions towards your hatreds.

Answered privately to avoid thread distraction.

to not take the topic of the thread off target..
(this one you know) - I like the young turks for their left leaning view
(I am certain this is new to you) - Israeli New Live for their faith based news.
(not sure you'll know this one) - I also like Adam Green's KnowMoreNews (I think you'd like him too)I don't respect Maddow any more than Hannity (both are hugely slanted mouth pieces) but I do like Tucker.
and... (shocker here), for my conservative side, I like Michael Savage. Have been a longtime subscriber to him.
I'm not a Trump guy nor am I a Bidden supporter. That said, had Bidden chose a moderate VP I'd have given him my vote. Currently I'm thinking Rand will receive my vote as both Trump and Bidden don't fit my pallet.
There's others but those are my favorites.
And you, whom do you listen too?

I follow several dozen small papers around the country. I feel like that gives me a better representation of the country as a whole rather than focusing on just the major outlets. So, papers like the Clarion Ledger, The Kenosha News, The Oregonian, stuff like that. Obviously the two local papers in Lincoln & Omaha. I also follow the local news stations in Lincoln & Omaha, and a few around the country, but not as much as the papers.
I also follow major outlets like ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, and the NY Times, Washington Post, NPR, AP & Reuters, BBC North America, Salt Lake City Tribune, Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Miami Herald, etc. I also follow several dozen reporters at most of these outlets, because sometimes they're quicker with the news than the overall publication.

first, I'm myself a Libertarian. Secondly, you chose to include his post... so, you did in fact consciously quote him.
-
You quoted Anderson Cooper
-
If things are shutdown for 21 days and 3 games lost... wonder what kind of distraction/frustration this will cause within their program? Finger pointing can lead to large scale separation.
-
Everyone better slow down, take a deep breath and actually watch some highlights of this QB: - Good Height with an accurate arm. - Mobile enough (especially against our weak pass rush) - No crowd reducing first game jitters - not a first year qb in a new system. - has a quick release and Wisky will likely coach him to play quick. (limited long passing to mostly screens and quick release patterns) - Its still a Whisky o-line. Whisky d-line and d-backs. - Whisky has a tradition of winning and those proud traditions will only glow brighter when the chips are down. (Think back to a 3rd string qb for the huskers walking into a hornets nest in K-state. We won that game on our strengths.) Sadly, the skers lose this game because they don't know how to win and until they learn winning is earned and not given, we will continue to lose. Go out, play your game, even against all odds and win!! Sadly, Whisky knows this, they believe this and they will steam roll our d-line to show it! and... here comes the debbie downer comments but honestly guys, has our beloved husker program showed us any cause to believe? Fumbles, interceptions, costly penalties or wasted timeouts to prevent the penalty. Learn to win first and then start licking your chops!!

lmao... my favorite comment on that thread:
-
Simply put peeps... COVID is real, its lethal and we should all hope nobody is exposed or stricken by it. It angers me when I hear prominent people (like a head coach) state otherwise. To say it mostly only affects the elderly and those with preexisting conditions is a horrible disservice to the public as a whole. For heavens sake, be smart, be safe, be gracious and be respectful to everyone as much as possible. Lets hope and pray that Wisconsin fans, athletes and staffs learn the test was a false positive so this young man, his teammates, coaches, friends and family can all rest easy. Also so when we win there's no excuses. (thats the husker talk in me ) GBR!!! Beat Wisky!!!
-
Just a simple reminder to those fans with unrealistic expectations.. Here is what many consider one of college footballs all time best thoughts on the daunting task that is Nebraska's 2020 schedule and to those who will argue against the question of "is the BIG selectively scheduling the most difficult path for Nebraska"... Well... the coach in the video seems to wonder.. Enjoy!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6CjpkSeBWZo
-
lol... ok, so I should have said bonus prediction... sadly, my gut tells me so
-
So.. I'm sure HB has posted this but in the fog of what 2020 has been and even now continues to be I feel it deserves another shout out. Both because we can all applaud him, his teammates and coaches as well as stop and give some thought into why he is now a scholly student. Well Done Damion and to you from us (the few, the proud, the marines).. Oorah!!!

Ohio State 48 Nebraska 31 Game is closer than the score indicates.. (see bonus) 143 rushing 292 passing Bonus - 1 defensive or special teams touchdown for tOSU
-
0-2 against tOSU 7-1 the rest of the way both Ohio St losses won't be close for but one reason, risk! Close until the 4th and then game gets away.

The video creators went ape s!@t on this marketing tool. Loved the video.
