Because he was better than what we have this year.

I think in a hypothetical world with Casey still here, we'd have a handful less turnovers, some amount more passing production more than offset by a greater loss in rushing production, and he'd miss at least 4-5 games being hurt and maybe we get one more win that we left on the table. Based off nothing other than my own intuition, I think this year's offense was more or less doomed to be mediocre and then was fated into all-time-bad status with injuries no matter what.

Well we've actually had a few long throws (a couple of them TD's) this season that got drives going, kept them going, or finished them off.

 

And most of them were off option passes after we'd established the option and qb run game and defenses bit.

We would add some amount of better passing production with Thompson, but how much considering the state of our receiver room?

I would be so happy to have Thompson back right now.

I don't really get this. Maybe people are seeing something I'm not, but our offense all season has pretty much only worked with the qb run game or threat of the qb run game. It's responsible for almost every single big chunk play we've had all season, so without it, I don't see how our offense would be moving the ball at all.

I've always been obsessed with this Linkin Park cover of Nine Inch Nails' 'Wish'

And as much as I love the original as a staple of 90s alternative gold, this pop punk cover of 'Torn' by Natalie Imbruglia really hits for me.

Quite frankly, also I’m tired of talking about a QB’s rushing stats too until the core competency of throwing passes is up to a college P5 upper half level first.  

I think it's being brought up because what the hell would this offense be doing without a homerun deep threat receiver for Casey and without a quarterback run game?

The latter is more or less the only way we ever get chunk plays this season.

Every time an offense has struggled under Callahan, under Pleini, under Solich, Frost, and even Riley. The coordinator had gone back, simplified the offense, identified the plays that worked best, prioritized those plays, developed a system around those plays and and boom, like magic the offense got better.

2009 says hello.

Why didn't Syracuse say that about white? They were disappointed about him leaving and had nothing but great things to say about him.

 

He also had rattler last year and his offenses weren't the greatest. All the problems he had at South Carolina he's having here. When most of your fanbase is wanting you to leave then that's saying something.

 

 

It is saying something, but more often than not what it's saying is that the fans don't know what they're talking about.

Who's a high profile offensive coordinator that a fanbase thinks is great?

The game passed Jimbo's offense by almost a decade ago, and that's one of if not the main reason he's now unemployed.

i dunno what to tell u man, 11 am CST on peacock is the worst slot for the big ten.  I was simply saying, i cant wait to be relevant again so we'll be on FS1 at worst down the stretch, that is all.  Ill still tune in tomorrow but guarantee not every husker fan will if they dont have access 

Except you simply said more than that.

Not only will being back in the top 25 get us back to bowl games, better players and games only at night/afternoon- it'll also help ensure we're not playing on a stream only service in the morning.

You gotta at least agree somewhat tho- if rhule gets us back to consisten 9-3/10-2 seasons we're back on fox/fs1/nbc guaranteed.

All of this is wrong and it's okay for you to just take the L and move on. Michigan, Penn State, and Ohio State (amongst others) all had games exclusively on Peacock this year, as well as plenty of noon est/11 central kickoffs. Expect this to continue, where almost every team in the league has one game per season exclusively on Peacock. This has nothing to do with us sucking.

Also for those of you unwilling to pay the $6 or go to a bar or a friend's house, if you still want to watch the game it's remarkably easy to find ways to do so. Can't promote them on the board but send me a PM.

The fun part is that none of these teams can sleep on the rest of the league. There's great talent top to bottom. 

This, aside from the Warriors run and the *how* behind it, is the only thing still keeping me interested in the league. I can't recall either through memory or knowledge of the game before me any time where there is just so much talent permeating every corner - it's crazy how good everyone is these days.

That is clearly not blackface.

 

This sort of horsecrap pisses me off because it only devalues real racist incidents that actually do occur, and gives fuel to people who like to pretend that racism isn't prevalent.

Same accusations came out against the Covington Catholic boys after that dust up at the capitol, and then someone found a photo of their student section during the blackout game. Some terminally online people just need things to be upset over and unfortunately it sometimes bleeds into real life.

Have you discovered a subject that middle school boys can't destroy? 

 

Edited to add:  ah. I'm not the first one to make this clever observation.

Even as someone who grew up to be a full-time artist, I was guilty of engaging in this behavior. There's nothing quite like the way that middle school boys can specifically make music instructors sob.

Might I ask what this data is taken from and what they are trying to say?   
 

Is this source saying HH is a more valuable QB to a team than the others?  

Sorry, it's season total fumble leaders in the NCAA lol. Really fumbled the bit not including that relevant context

This is the most bulls#!t response possible.

 

First, why did they waste all that time and effort if it wasn't doing any good?  Why were all they players in on it if it wasn't doing any good?

 

Second, "there is no evidence" of it?  Then provide a transcript for everything Stalions was saying in the ear of the DC that got the whole bench to jump up and down and point.

 

Third, what is the "this season" qualifier for?

 

 

This just reads as "lawyers always start with every defense under the sun and are fine to abandon them later" to me, nothing to take seriously other than billable hours.

@Guy Chamberlin  you’ve asked a few times for someone to define a Republican Utopia so I will give my crack at some bullet points that matter for one man’s opinion on the matter…..

 

—A strong secure boarder with adequate legal processes to adjudicate the legal process in a much much much more timely fashion.   A remain in Mexico component until initial background checks are complete with no criminal history, security threats, or identity theft/fraud.  Once complete, the asylum or citizen requestor should be allowed in with some sort of managed check in requirements (not the catch release check in BS we have now) and those people should be allowed to participate in society while the citizenship process carries out (work, pay taxes, school etc..) 

 

—Regular order budgets and end the nonsensical use of the “spend the entire budget whether it’s needed or not” fiasco that has been going on for decades.   Incentivize, government agencies to come in under budget by bonus to the Gov employees for being stewards of our money, or give extra PTO for those agencies/groups that are under budget.   What happens currently is a use it all no matter what so we get funded at that same level plus some the next year even if it wasn’t needed.  Government waste at its best IMO.  
 

—Income taxes at the lowest level possible that can also adequately fund a lean Government agency.  I feel that we are probably at that level, however, if people think the top bracket can go back up to 39% then so be it.   Don’t care anymore. 
 

—I want to see an end to activist District Attorneys that are fine with criminals running amok. Charge the crimes that are committed and end the ridiculous no cash bail experiment.   Along these lines, figure out some way to increase the Judicial capacity to try cases.  The backlog is insane in most cities.   With no cash bail and the backlog, people can be arrested 20-30-40 times on theft charges before anything happens to them if ever!  
 

—Abortion.  Leave it up to the States with a voter referendum, and not just a legislature passing a law.  Make it up to the will of the people in that State.  If anyone were to ever bring up a national law, 12-15 week ban with the relevant exceptions seems like a good compromise.  
 

—Marraige.   Either have Gov get out of the marriage business or allow people to marry whoever and how ever many people they want.  If we are to say if two people love each other and should be allowed to marry no matter the sexual preference, I agree, but that same courtesy should go to those who may be in a throuple etc….
 

—Education.  I am a school choice advocate mainly because so many kids are stuck in failing school districts that receive so much funding and yet still suck and fail the kids that want to learn.  Let those kids/parents that actually care get the education they deserve.  
 

—Term limits.  Limits to be discussed but it’s quite evident to anyone paying attention that limits need to be in place. Our lawmakers care more about being re-elected than they do about voting their conscience.  
 

—Elections.  Voter ID, 30 day maximum early voting, and no party affiliation listed next to the candidates name along with no “straight party line vote” option.  
 

Let me know what other issues you want addressed for my “Utopia”.  

What a great and reasonable list that is almost entirely antithetical to the concerns and priorities of the Republican party.

You assume this is legit. We are in an age of anything and everything getting thrown out on the net.

Looks like, based off of discoverable facts, that Blake Corum filed an LLC in Virginia a few years ago, and then five weeks after Corum posts on instagram with the hashtag for his business, Stalions files an LLC in Wyoming with the same name.

That doesn't prove that Corum isn't involved with the Wyoming one, but it does seem to match up with the absolutely unhinged obsessive nature of Connor Stalions to do something this hilariously dumb.

https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/michigan-rb-blake-corum-denies-any-business-link-to-ex-analyst-connor-stalions-my-attorneys-are-on-it/

"That's something I'm not really into," Corum said. "Vacuums aren't my thing. I'm a clean person, but I'm not a cleaner. Vacuums aren't my thing. I don't know anything about that." 

What a hilarious and suspicious phrasing.
