What would you surmise their ideal offensive scheme is? Genuinely asking.

I'm not sure and I'm also very far from an expert on X's and O's but I would venture to guess it would be somewhat comparable to Tim Beck's 2012 offense.

I guess the thing that confuses is me is why everyone defaults to giving the program the benefit of the doubt on everything, including NIL.  I clearly am the outcast in not just simply trusting what is occurring, based on so many years of ineptitude.  

 

As you said at the end of your post, there isn't a lot of info either way.

But on one hand you have some info from people relatively in the know, at least compared to all of us, that suggests we are competitive and have good advantages in the NIL space. On the other hand, you have absolutely zero info that we're not. So I don't know if it's benefit of the doubt as much as it's not much of an opinion either way but a loose belief in the narrative that actually has some evidence, compared to a belief that is based on nothing at all.

Are people under the assumption that what we're doing right now is Satterfield and Rhule's dream offense? I'm not.

I think they're doing the best job with the guys they have in year 1 in adapting it and 'shutting it down' so to speak to give the team its best chance at winning. It doesn't seem dissimilar to early in Bo's tenure when A. we strategically shut the offense down into a slow plodding essentially bad ball control approach and B. from '08 until Taylor's redshirt freshman season in 2010 they were slowly building out their ideal offense as a hybrid of WCO passing schemes with a zone read quarterback run game that they wanted for the future.

I moved out of state right out of college.  Nebraska laws were never even thought of at the time.  My three kids all moved out of state and Nebraska laws never were part of the reason.  They all will move back eventually.  I don't know if I have ever talked to a young person that said..."Wow...I'm moving because I don't like the laws in Nebraska".

 

Now, I have known some retired people who have moved because of our tax laws and they moved to a state with lower taxes.

That's more or less what I'm saying. Nobody is moving away because of the direct reason of "I don't like the laws", but that's a piece of the entire puzzle of the culture of the state that makes it easy to leave and uninteresting for many.

Maybe not the laws specifically, but the laws are absolutely an ingredient in the entire recipe that makes the state uninteresting to many as they get out of college.

This is true yes, but would you rather have 20~ 5 stars and 50~ 4 stars on the team to do it with, or the 0/25 number we have?  That is the point about hoping NIL can improve those numbers for us to make it easier to right the ship.  That is what we are saying.  If Rhule is the developer we are led to believe he is, he surely can reach higher with 4/5 star talent versus 2/3 and a few 4's. 

Nobody disagrees that more/better talent helps and will be necessary to eventually hopefully get back to championship football. The point of contention is that it isn't a simple equation either way, and since we are a program that is strong in some categories and weak in others (the most notable one being recruiting prowess), the core foundation better not and can't be reliant solely on talent; rather, the formula here has to start with development and process and let that translate into winning which then translates into an uptick in recruiting which then begins a positive feedback loop.

There are programs who can recruit at an elite level by essentially doing nothing more other than existing. We aren't one of them and never will be.

I forget, is it confirmed the new configuration will have the students/band in the lower level of the new south stadium?

Alberts said as much.

My bad on the current student section location got my directions confused

Additionally, it seems more logical to put the opposing team closer to the louder area of the stadium near the students. 

The current configuration has the opposing team on the same side of the field as the student section.

So keep voting cause unlike you I don’t believe in suppressing voters, let’s just hope people like you don’t vote in numbers big enough to win.  

Wait, you think someone requesting that others, "kindly refrain from voting" counts as voter suppression?

Mostly that good satire works because it's fairly close to a 1:1 analogy of something in the real world, and your video (thanks for pointing it out but I wasn't actually confused about whether or not you were actually Lucky f#&%in McGee‎ on twitter posting original content you made yourself) breaks down and fails at its goal the second you try to apply a logical consistency to it.

For the sake of providing encouragement for all of us to do better, here's what a pretty good piece of satire looks like:

One doesn’t have to be intimately involved in HH’s training and lack of development to notice the needed change hasn’t been made.  So it’s not “ignorant” to analyze a kid with an nfl body and enough arm strength to be a starting P5 QB long term and say it’s “weird” that he hasn’t made an arm slot adjustment (for his own benefit).  It’s not like he’s lighting it up with his current status

Some of the ignorance comes from the assumption that he hasn't tried to make the adjustments, when there's just as likely a scenario where he has done the work to try and make that progress and can't.

It is a left talking point to allow that to happen under the age of 18.  That’s not in dispute.  

If it's what the child and their parents and their physician think is best.

Yet your video that starts with the kid being refused a tattoo because they're a minor ends with them asking for genital surgery and the guy pulls out a hacksaw and says sure no problem!

So can you breakdown how that "sound about right for the majority of the blue pillers"? The parody is quite clear, the logic isn't.

Which part?  The part with reasonable and sensible regulations on things that should be regulated included the one at the end Democrats actually don’t want to age regulate 

 

Ya I guess that part. 

I don't know if it's a trollish nature or an echo chamber you might live in that puts you out of touch with reality, but it's not a left talking point or position that kids should have access to gender surgeries without the involvement and signing off and recommendation of their parents and physicians.

Sellout streak? Every kick/punt shows the top level of the stadium half full at best. Yea, technically the tickets were probably sold to some rich alumni, but when will the sellout farce stop?

Northern Illinois before kickoff:

Why run as an I?  He knows he won't win, is he trying to get things going to run in 28?  That seems odd.

Have you watched Succession? If not, one of the siblings decides to run for President and has a very serious and committed relationship to the idea just trying to poll at 1%. It's all about the brand and the ego.

While we are changing things at the stadium, can we please switch sides of the field so on a 95 degree day in the fall our ram is the one more comfortable in the shade and not the one still in the blazing sun?

Either the benefits of being warmer later in the year or of some other unknown variable are worth it enough for things to be the way they are, or nobody has actually thought about it in 60+ years.

jeez what was the point of the 400+ miles of border wall that Trump spent $15 billion on

Now all that said, if HH arms slot is the only one he can get his limited effectiveness with, then he needs to be taught how to find passing lanes, or pass blocking technique needs to be changed to create throwing lanes for him.  Both of which are possible.  
 

Or maybe the coaches have said “this is what we got this year and there isn’t much upside to the work it takes to change him so let it ride cause someone else is playing next year anyways”. 

Individual drill and development work along these lines does not exist much once you're in the season. Teams will generally spend a few minutes on it in practice just to try and keep players sharp and hopefully get teeny tiny bits of progress but the amount of time and attention that something like this takes just doesn't and can't exist in the middle of the season when you're spending all your time on scouting and install for the next opponent.

I would say the strongest evidence we have is how similar Bo's tenure at Nebraska lines up with Tom Osborne's first years.

Osborne's first 7 years:

• 7 top-10 finishes

• 5 major bowl appearances

• 2 (co) conference championships

• 13 wins over ranked teams

Pelini's first 7 years:

• 0 top-10 finishes

• 0 major bowl appearances

• 0 conference championships

• 4 wins over ranked teams

I think the wake up call should be "We cannot continue to put successful coaches on the hot seat, because they don't immediately win Conference Championships or National Championships"  

Pelini got fired after year seven. There's nowhere that the word 'immediately' belongs in that equation, he was given plenty of time.

why are we shelling out $450m to decrease stadium size and lower potential ticket income?

Even if the "normie" ticket prices don't move at all this does nothing other than increase ticket income.

1. Less capacity = more demand

2. A better experience = more demand

3. Most importantly, there are going to be more luxury boxes and suites that have a high sticker price.

My wife and I are taking a bucket list trip to Zion and Bryce National Parks next week.

 

Did you know that the National Parks will be shut down when we get there if the deranged Republicans refuse a budget agreement while they're busy dry humping Hunter Biden?

 

I guess I have to tolerate the GOP's slow death march to a fascist hellscape, but f#&% with my vacation and I will never forgive. 

If there's nobody there to work there's nobody there to stop you from going in

I was roadtripping from Chicago to Seattle the last time the government shut down in 2019 and I stopped at Mt. Rushmore because I'd never been. I was the only person there, it was surreal and eerie and also incredibly cool.
