Damn; Covid is tearing ACLs and breaking legs now? 

COVID is an ESPN product, ESPN has hated Nebraska for like, EVAR!!!! So connect the dots...COVID is ESPN'S Tonya Harding(Jeff Gillooly), Shane Stant

...Just too many number of people to manage from a solely player perspective. You throw in coaches, trainers, etc to manage a football team..sheeeeeeet

No. There will not be a football season this year. I honestly think it's foolish to believe it will happen at this point.

 

This country shows no signs of slowing down the disease, there is no way to keep the players isolated from the outside world, the rosters and potentially infectious people you'd have are massive, some (many? most?) universities are going to close their campuses and refuse to let their student athletes participate, many schools will find it financially unwise to host games without fans, the logistics are magnitudes more complicated than the doomed professional sports reboots, and just so many other reasons that complicate matters.

 

All of this less than 2 months from kickoff. This country isn't about to take precautions seriously, so it's clear we are going to be in this situation at least through the end of 2020.

Sensible me agrees

You do understand this is a process, correct? Because this is a new disease, we are actually still in the learning phase of it. As we learn more about it, opinions and methodology change. It's the same reason why the people who are trying to troll Fauci for his opinions in January and February are incredibly cringe. Masks were not at the forefront of the discussion at the beginning because 1. we didn't know exactly how the virus was being transmitted, and 2. they were deemed essential for healthcare workers and those caring for sick individuals. 4 months later, we know more about the transmission and that one of the best ways of preventing it is by wearing masks. That's why the majority of the discussion has centered around wearing masks in public to help flatten the curve, or did you just start paying attention? 

Bingo

Don't go out unless you really have to.

Wear a mask and wash your hands.

Stop peacefully protesting for a few months.

Stop Legion ball

Stop summer conditioning

Stop going to the beach unless you are wearing one of those old timey diver suits and masks that look like a fish bowl.

Don't have those lame "social distance" gathers where you sit outside and pretend like you are 6 feet away and not spreading germs.

Don't shake hands but also don't do that lame elbow touch thing, not because of the spread, just because it is stupid.  

Don't form an autonomous country unless it is actually in another country.

Don't go to church, you will be fine.

 

 

The CHAZ in Seattle was fun to watch cause you KNEW where it was headed

Yeah, the "I'm not wearing a mask" crowd is odd. It's one of those things were, regardless of your thoughts on covid, you know how germs are spread in general so just put a mask on because it is the nice thing for those who are really concerned about it...and at minimum you are lessening your chances of just getting the cold, etc.

Booker was good but I think Tyronne Williams was better!   That team was loaded as you also had Minter,Veland and Warfield.   Not sure if that's the same year or not?

Agree with William's, we had a slew of "under the radar" talent on our D...thinking of Doug Colman as an example

James Sims...backfield was LOADED

IF the season cannot happen..i would be fine if they just simulated games via xbox and showed them on regularly scheduled times...I will still get drunk and yell...I mean I am getting drunk regardless but give me something to get drunk at

Just watched 95 game vs Florida...forgot how badass Michael Booker was.

Wisconsin...that is a hurdle we need to jump

To be so negative you must believe Frost needs to go so we can restart one more time.  If there is no improvement this year (year 3) then it strongly suggests Frost has made no progress in rebuilding the program.  Three consecutive losing seasons will basically finish killing all the positive momentum Frost’s hire may have brought.  Schedule strength may be an issue but the Big Ten is on the rise broadly speaking and the road in the future wont get easier.  Without a winning season this year and another good class, the times will get worse.  

If so, we need a major course correction before we slip down to the bottom.   

I'm not negative on Frost, thinking my poYnt was missed

I don't know if we lose to those six teams, it would surprise me if we were able to beat any of them, but I see this team as having a 6-6 ceiling with 5-7 or worse more likely.

Your logic is on poynt.

A 60 inch, 4K HD TV is a bit different than an old Black and White TV. That, coupled with direct access to good food, beer, comfy seating, the ability to watch multiple games at the same time and not having to pay out the nose for what has been a bad product for a while now puts the advantage squarely in the corner of watching from home. The gameday atmosphere in and around the stadium is great, but its not nearly the same as it once was.

Exactly

I haven't heard of a single "concerned" coach...

If my salary, at the end of the day, was dependent on a product I too would show little concern. One season of no product, creates a slippery salary.

Athletes and those who coach them should not be our health barometer 

With that said, give me some sports

Thinking of signing up to 'volunteer'  now.  It'll be an easy gig and I'll be able to watch the local games live at least.

That is a great idea..my Zags are playing right here in Spokane

Just going to post this here...am I the only one that thinks the guy on the Verizon commercial saying "Frigid Omaha" is putting unnecessary douchey passive aggressive tone to his descriptor

The more I watch the XFL kickoffs, the more I think it could be the future of all football kickoffs. You're encouraged to field the ball and make a return while it's also safer by not having guys build up 35-40+ yards of speed before colliding. 

 

 

Agree..as it is now, kickoffs have generally become a non factor

5-7 to a top 10 O.....I just don't see it.  We have to do a lot in the off season to reach those lofty accolades.

Have a serviceable kicker and that 5-7 goes to a minimum of 6-6 with a rz % around 85...our 5-7 was a bi product of poor D and a need to get in the zone as opposed to 3

Solid gifs in this

So a shady B1G ref with past issues clearly doesn't like Nebraska. I am absolutely shocked. Probably gonna take a while until we are part of the "team" and can get the Northwestern treatment. 

Huh, he talked about Pelini not the collective Husker hoard
