So by your math, we’ve beaten the bad teams we should, lost to every team with a pulse and that’s where we are. We are paying too much for those kind of results. And talking too much.

The “half game suspension” has a nebulous meaning. It could be a felony, it could be skipping a weight session. The fun is guessing!

Nate Gerry betrayed his team. He should have been. I mean Mo has felony charges, a weed pinch and now an undisclosed infraction in one season. The safe bet is he screws up again.

He may, but it will be at guard. The guy is making mistakes that high school centers don’t make and it’s becoming unfair to him he’s even being asked to do it

Or we can do what should have been done and cut our losses because we have a trend forming

If that’s true, fine but the hubris coming from the staff about how jurgens is the next rimington needs to be turned down by at least half.

With the exception of our center, which I agree shouldn’t see the field. Our starting line has people in the program for three years

Fixed

Sipple saying it proves something differently than what you think it proves

Let's look at who we've beaten during this hot streak. '18 Minnesota - finished 7-6 '18 Bethune Cookman - FCS team that finished 7-5 '18 Illinois - finished 4-8 '18 Michigan State - finished 7-6 '19 South Alabama - currently 1-5 '19 Northern Illinois - currently 1-4 '19 Illinois - currently 2-3 '19 Northwestern - currently 1-4 Combined records of the last 8 victims of Nebraska football: 30-41. Baby steps and all but that’s not exactly a squad of juggernauts

I accept your apology and look forward to the warning being removed

I look forward to this being removed by you.

I agree. I’m talking about what I see from this team and where they are. I wouldnt say i dislike what you say, but I would say you do so with an amount of snark I’ve been cautioned about and frankly I think it’s a little unfair

I suppose it all depends on your perception on how things actually are. Some would agree with me, some, including you, wouldn’t. Did you make a post how we weren’t shut out when Riley got obliterated by Ohio st in 2016? It was still a neat stat.

You thought it was an interesting historical footnote after an utter embarrassment of a game. Maybe lets just agree it was incredibly convenient. And that Martinez is better than Vedral.

You didn’t make this thread?

I mean, you spend a lot of time on here digging up tweets and obscure stats to justify that things maybe aren’t as bad as they seem. You posted a tweet about how Nebraska scoring against Ohio st kept a “not been shutout” streak alive. As if that’s any kind of silver lining. What if someone did that about Callahan after the 04 beatings in Oklahoma and Lubbock? I agree with you that it’s madness people think Vedral is somehow better than Martinez but to taunt another persons opinions on here does nothing to further discussion, of which there are tons we can talk about here. Good and bad.

Alleged. Does this mean you think he’s improved? Stayed the same? Gotten worse but it’s Mike Riley’s fault? Just trying to get a snapshot on how you feel this is all going.

So you can’t answer then?

It is painfully obvious that hyperbole can run rampant about this football team. You can write off the coaches comparing him to other heisman candidates and media being a glorified propaganda machine, but there were other scouting reports from other teams basically saying Martinez is our guy and that if he got hurt, we’d be in trouble. They weren't wrong. We know now a few things but we don’t know a lot. We know he’s hurt but we don’t know if the northwestern game added upon stuff that he was already dealing with, because he hasn’t looked right all year. We know hes regressed but we we don’t know if it’s due to coaching, injury or just a natural hiccup in maturity. And we know we’re probably in trouble. We just don’t know how much but that game next week is on the road, at night, potentially in the snow against an undefeated team and possibly with a backup. This season just got a lot more interesting

Stating what his record was isn’t spin, but what you’re doing certainly is.

Mike Riley was by no means a success here, but I guess I’d like you to tell me why he’s behind the two biggest problems on this team, Adrian Martinez, his regression and the errant snaps.

That’s a careful situation. The beginning of the end of Solich happened when it became clear to the team Crouch was being held to looser standards

I don’t the one half suspension has quite the effect Frost thinks it does
