  1. Give me more playoff games. The more the better. I’m tired of seeing Nick Saban and his group of 50 5 star players and round table of twelve former head coaches (I’m exaggerating…), have multiple weeks to prepare for a game. I want games every week after the season ends until the national championship. Make it grueling. Remove the non-conference games. Save those for the playoff.
     

    I hope tonight’s game is the least watched championship game in the past 20 years. Who cares about this game? It’s a broken record on a broken system.

    I assume this is a brother - 2024 WR

     

     

    That’s a good question. I don’t think they’re brothers, but maybe cousins? Ryan has two older brothers that I know of, Ronnie and Raymond. Ronnie played at Arkansas (and a couple years in league), and Raymond played at Mizzou. 

     

    Ryan and Mehki went to different high schools, but that doesn’t mean much these days. I think we’d have a better shot at Ryan.


  3. He’s most likely bound for LSU. Missouri fans were sad to see him leave. His former HS coach is now a d-line coach at LSU. It would be a huge get if we got him. He was one of the only bright spots on Missouri’s defense last year.

    Our problems didn't start with Mr. Riley. There is no Mike Riley curse. He was offered the position and accepted. He is a good guy and it wasn't a fit. Maybe our curse is that we were spoiled, complained too much and our athletic directors didn't make the right selections. When one examines closely, there have been a series of imprecations. How much is it worth to you!

    Mike, is that you?

    We got 10-12 solid minutes of basketball against kstate...with our coachable players, we'll get that ramped up to 14-16 minutes tonight!

     

    I know I'm not alone saying that I'd love to see hoiberg have quick hooks for the guys that throw up garbage 3s tonight.  If that happened we'll blow them out by 20+...alas, it wont happen.  I fear it'll be a dog fight.

     

    I really like KT but he just shoots some absolute s#!t.  I don't really care if he's the Japanese steph curry or the Japanese Jesus...a 30 foot fall-away, contested 3 is never the answer. 

     

    Sorry, rant over...gbr

    He needs to stop traveling… I’ll tell you that much.

    Shoot that shot in the Instagram DM's

    I started dating my wife long distance when I was in the military. We were 850 miles apart. Dated for a year and a half before she moved to the town I was based in. We got a place together and got married shortly after 9/11, just weeks after she moved down. We’ve been married for 20 years this year.

     

    I didn’t have social media to shoot my shot (okay grandpa), but long distance phones still worked backed then. :thumbs

    I don't mind talking s#!t about Iowa, but I also get why kids from Omaha end up there. It more has to do with those kids not being recruited hard enough by NU and Iowa having a better program for the past 7 years. It sucks to admit, but it's true. 

    We definitely have a lot of ground to make up in Omaha over the next few years. I hate seeing them go out of state.

    Not saying Jackson doesn't deserve any NIL funds, but wouldn't Jackson be getting government assistance for college based on his military service. Isn't that what GI bills are used for?  I may be completely wrong on this, so if someone knows the answer, feel free to correct me. 

    I used most of my Montgomery GI bill to pay for a bachelor’s and the rest + Post 9/11 bill to pay for my masters. I also went online to WGU for both. WGU is cheap. Nebraska, like most brick and mortar schools, is not. The GI bills will pay for a fraction of his tuition. 
     

    Most importantly, it shouldn’t be in the conversation because he earned that s#!t. He earned it way more than I earned mine, and I worked my a$$ off during my enlistment.

    Sure would take their record and that sh!tty offense....I find it hard to talk trash about a school we haven't beaten since Bo  got fired.  After seeing where Iowa was as a program..

    Very good points. I’ll still talk s#!t about Iowa, but those are very good points.

    Jackson was only on scholarship for last semester. I don't think he's been given a full scholarship going forward.

    It sounds like the Huskerboard needs to step up and select our mascot. With all of the badasses in this message board, we should be able to help Jackson out with some NIL funds, right team!?

    Jay Ducker is a stud running back.  I'm sure he wouldn't mind being turned into a future NFL draft pick like Goodson was.

    Failed attempt at humor since Jay only caught one pass last year for NIU. 218 rushing attempts and 1 pass. He’d fit perfectly in Iowa’s offense.

     

    edit: I’m still kind of tweaked at Keagan for his comments. It’s pointless and selfish, I know. I hope we beat Iowa the rest of the time he’s there. It should have happened this year. :bang

    So, all of these people spent time watching Adrian play?  They are WRONG,  our O-line was horrible.  The worst that I can remember.  AM was on the run unable to set feet way too many times.  This wasn't a QB issue !!  This wasn't a scheme issue, this was an O-line issue, and the buck stops there.  "That many 'great' TE?  Allen is pretty good, but I am not sure I say "many great TE".  Really sounds to me as if someone is really stretching to say they aren't an AM fan.  That is fine, we are entitled to our opinions and I respect yours, but these assessments are way off base.  

    I respect yours as well. However, I don’t think they’re way off base. Here’s why:

     

    We had NFL scouts looking at 3 of our TE’s this year. https://nebraska.rivals.com/news/husker-tight-ends-at-the-center-of-attention-this-fall


    Oline stats:

     

    1. Power Success Rate: (percentage of runs on third and fourth down, two yards or less to go, that achieved a first down or touchdown.) GBR placed 80th, but still ahead of Texas A&M, Ole Miss, UNC, Wisconsin, Florida, Iowa State, Purdue, Penn State. GBR = 65.5%. #25 (in this stat) UCLA was 75.7%.
     

    2. Average Line Yards: (the line gets credit for rushing yardage between 0-3 yards and 50% credit for yards 4-8. Lost yards counts as 125%. Garbage time is filtered out). GBR finished 69th, right behind Baylor, ND, Mich State, and ahead of programs like Texas A&M, LSU, Ok St, Iowa, NW, Penn State, South Carolina, Purdue. GBR = 2.66 and #25 (in this stat) Toledo = 2.9


    3. Standard downs line yards: (The raw, unadjusted per-carry line yardage for a team on standard downs (1st down, 2nd and 7 or fewer, third and 4 or fewer, 4th and 4 or fewer)). GBR finished 44th. They were right behind Wisconsin, Illinois, Baylor and ahead of programs like OU, auburn, ND, Alabama, A&M, Mich State, LSU, Ok State, Penn State, Purdue, Iowa and more. GBR = 2.73 and #25 (in this stat) VT = 2.83


    4. Pass downs line yrds: (the same unadjusted averages for rushing on passing downs). GBR finished 68th, just behind LSU, OSU, Arkansas. They finished ahead of OU, BYU, Baylor, ND, Ok st, Iowa, Penn State, Purdue. GBR = 2.91 and #25  (in this stat) Florida Int. = 3.21

     

    5. Opportunity Rate: (the percentage of carries (when 4 yards are available) that gain at least 4 yards i.e. the percentage of carries in which the line does its job, so to speak) GBR finished 61st, just behind Alamaba, Auburn, Mich state and ahead of programs like Michigan, ND, Minn, ISU, LSU, Ok st, Iowa, Penn state and South Carolina.

    GBR = 48.50%, Bama = 50.50%, and #25 (in this stat) AFA = 52.3%
     

    The o line was mediocre, but not as awful as a few on this board make them out to be.

    There were occasions where that was the case. Adrian and his strengths and weaknesses. The offensive line play brought out his vulnerabilities. It's not like he wasn't imperfect or his play didn't have anything to do with it. In truth, BOTH his performances and the offensive line performances contributed to inconsistent execution. Throw in some errors by receivers every once and a while and it all adds up.  

    I agree 100%. There were issues with both.
