Diversion. Obfuscation. Simple point up there and it's being mixed in with wheat straw after quoting it. But it's all good I guess. I learned that our D can be tough through the whole game no matter what they threw or ran at us. The awarded shirts of Black nature were apparently well earned. Good job by our coaches. I also learned that our Heinrich guy is immature or some other mild word that recognizes his medium/high athletic abilities while noticing his opting for lesser actions at times on the field under duress.

(lookin' up 'jello shots') ... well I'll be ... woo! They do that? You did that? People do that? ... Will it work with oatmeal? I'm old.

Alcohol, via airline mini bottles and often even 200 ml bottles, seems to be "allowed" in most sections of the stadium. Jim Beam, JD, et al. Who needs beer sales? Just makes more trips to the stinky restrooms. For those who do that. Those other people.

We seem to be inching past the "we always find a way to lose," and now are in the "maybe we won't find a way to lose this time" phase of the new HC's tenure here. The Spartans are having quite the crappy season, hopefully that will continue against us. Two more wins for sure with a ? <----- my vote in the poll Three more wins with a Four more wins with a Five more wins with a Six more wins with a

Either notion being heavily lacking will doom a team (and dooms many every season). I wish I could analyze thoroughly enough to understand, but can only say that for about 15 years of football now I've seen both as I watch games. Earlier on we were getting our 7,8, and 9 wins per season and we were lathering the whole program with bad words, but especially the coaches as the players seemed to at times be basically in a different world than Husker football (articles in the papers intimating that Callahan had "lost the players" for example). Those were the good ole days with that many wins... I guess. Compared to the past three coaches, yeah. Recruiting looks scary these days, being dominated apparently by certain programs other than us around the country. I fear for Nebraska football.. still.

We should, of course, not trust that one iota. There is an ongoing struggle, world-wide, to get monies from donated/provided sources to the intended recipients. Jimmy Carter spent nearly every waking hour of his post-Presidential life attempting to thin out corruption with regard to that, in addition to fighting for fair elections in central America, as one example. I was involved in a push for food and medical supply deliveries to sections of Uganda suffering from tribal mass slaughter and razing of whole villages and towns. The struggle was with corruption at every level, not just armed war lords and thieves. In Iran right now there are units who make demands of the sitting government, no matter who is in charge in the area, under the banner of Daesh, but who are just locals who have developed a steady stream of money and goods to their own special little bands of crooks.

Being as how Israel is under attack by Iranian trained and armed Gaza Palestinians at the present time, yes, that would be a kick in the Iranian pants, and then some.

Prospective starting QBs (recruiting prospects), the smart ones, the good ones, look at film and watch the O-Line. We need an Eric Crouch or Tommy Frazier or at least an Adrian Martinez, and those types are probably not going to be impressed with our current situation there as they watch tape. IMO.

I've noticed that, too. Why can't Nebraska be like other teams and stuff. Doggone it.

Great quote.

Well now.

I am noticing individual Husker players getting their a$$es kicked by their man, every play. Knocked around like peewee football players against college players.

Yeah but ours gets jack hammered and dy-no-mited soon.

It's hard to disagree with that. It's also hard to agree with it.

I think the rushing yards allowed per game by the D will look a lot more evident against Illinois than it did against Michigan. Similar as rushing yards gained on offense.

Offense: - We're 122nd in the country in points scored per game (19) - They're 105th (22) - We're 95th in the country in total yards per game (384) - They're 71st (391) - We're 127th in the country in passing yards per game (139) - They're 60th (243) - We're 15th in the country in rushing yards per game (209) - They're 79th (148) Defense: - We're 57th in the country in points allowed per game (24) - They're 103rd (31) - We're 37th in the country in total yards allowed per game (326) - They're 113th (419) - We're 84th in the country in passing yards allowed per game (239) - They're 87th (240) - We're 15th in the country in rushing yards allowed per game (87) - They're 111th (180)

Yep. Reminds me of the olden days of MNF when Cosell was yammering stats and how Time Of Possession and Yards Gained Per Carry/Game would give you the winner of any given game as long as you're "at least 3 games into the season," when Dandy Don chimed in with, "statistics are not discussed down there."

Wow. I wonder how they’d do going head to head. …. Oh, wait.

That joke (?) is getting around here and there. Maybe next it'll be a meme. Then it'll be misinformation dressed as information (with links). Perhaps the coach will cultivate it as a rumor and try to bask in it as a sort of excuse for the losses, the blowouts. Reminds me of a fight I watched after school as a fourth grader, it was two sixth graders; big kids to a fourth grader. Finally one got up from the ground with a nosebleed, torn shirt, dirt all over his face and hair, a forced smile on his face but pain and a bit of a cry in his eyes. He got his butt kicked so bad that generally from then on kids seemed to not even want to be around him anymore. I think the smile did wear off after a bit.

He has not passed away, but he is in his final resting place.

I honestly think that's in the works.

Well, perhaps we'll see more diddling with the tix pricing.
