  1. NU vs. Washington State or NU vs. North Carolina or NU vs. South Carolina or NU vs. Utah or NU vs. Vanderbilt or NU vs. TCU at home compared to NU vs. Bethune-Cookman at home or NU vs. Arkansas State at home. Which of these will have more people pass through the gates (believe it or not, despite 'selling out' there are actual empty seats during some NU games....mostly for non-conference games against non-power 5 teams)? Which of these games will have the highest number of people tuning in to watch? This is not hard. What's your point?
  2. I think you're vastly overestimating how important the sentiment of wanting to beat Arizona State and USC because we lost to them 15 and 25 years ago is to the fanbase as a whole.
  3. My best contextual guess without knowing anything and almost assuredly being wrong is some sort of documentary exposé that paints us in a positive light fighting for the season.
  4. I've never been good at finding fumble stats in general, but if that's the case, then there should be a paper trail of Cam Jurgens having several fumbles somewhere right?
  5. Anyone care to go back and watch the tape to find out how many of Adrian's nation-leading fumbles were caused by errant snaps?
  6. I get what you're saying, insofar as neither of them is an all-time great passer or NFL stud or anything like that, but at the same time, let's not forget that Zac Taylor was the Big XII Offensive Player of the Year, and mid-way through Joe Ganz' senior season he had the third highest QBR of all active quarterbacks behind Tim Tebow and Sam Bradford. They were both better than 'fine, solid'.
  7. I saw that as well but didn't have the sound on. Assumed it was his dad?
  8. Something I just thought about all night We're all mocking Texas and OU for taking the money and (presumably) sacrificing their chances at conference championships or playoffs. But then we're turning around and talking about how we want our conference to add more elite teams for more money...? Like, we'd be doing the same thing to ourselves if we added Notre Dame and Clemson, we would never win in that conference idk at least for me I realized my own hatred of Texas blinded my own hypocrisy
  9. (Honestly though I might give him a run for his money)
  10. Destroyed a horcrux or tried to hold an infinity stone
  11. Honestly, I know they don't bring anywhere near what others could bring as far as media markets, size of fanbase, and pedigree, but I wouldn't mind Iowa State at all. They're a smaller version of Nebraska and Wisconsin fused - simple midwestern folk that love to party and love their underdog. There is a lane and approach to be taken that isn't trying to do the exact same thing as the SEC and be the biggest/baddest/most. If the B1G has its own unique identity and footprint and experience, that draws attention.
  12. We've only won 16 games the last four years. Safe to assume our normal uniforms are cursed too.
  13. Reminds me of the Kobe, Shaq, Karl Malone, Gary Payton team that made even me, a diehard Lakers fan, dislike the Lakers
  14. Is Kevin Warren playing Dungeons & Dragons in this fantasy, sorry, dream, errr I mean vision, of yours?
  15. I for one have not understood anything he has said and need a minimum of saying the same thing at least 6969 times before I'll get it.
  16. I think this was actually from a 2017 World Championship if I saw correctly on twitter, but still incredible to watch.
  17. Nobody said he couldn't have won us some games. How many of those games did we lose because of our quarterback or did we have a chance to win but our quarterback failed to excel? Which ones, specifically? Nobody thinks he couldn't have helped us win games. "NOT WHAT I SAID", I think is how you put it. Not at the time he wasn't. Boy I'd say...
  18. Feels a bit like Diet Black Panther to me, which was fun and quality but overrated in my estimation. I can't point to anything in the trailers as specific evidence, but I feel like this along with all of the current and immediately upcoming stuff is going to suffer under some weight of world building for other stories rather than telling its/their own stories. It seems clear that they're really positioning Spider-Man 3, Dr Strange 2 and Ant-Man 3 as the lynchpin properties for the next overarching story theme in Phase 4. Then after that, Thor 4 and GotG 3 as backup support to a celestial/multiverse Kang encounter. A lot of these (the Disney+ series and the next few 'new IP' films) seem like they're mostly existing to help prop that up.
  19. 'Rookie season'...? He was a redshirt junior compared to a true freshman in Martinez who played better with worse surrounding cast. Great question. If all the other quarterbacks at Nebraska haven't developed, why do you think 57% completion percentage Joe Burrow would have?
  20. Adrian had better performance and a better ceiling and a longer career ahead of him when Burrow was transferring. This isn't true. His productivity was better his junior year than it was his sophomore year.
  21. what the hell was that plane??? hahaha
  22. The way it could, per my limited understanding, is by giving the conference(s) a stronger place to negotiate from with their next media deal. All us B1G teams don't generate an average of $55m, that's what we receive due to a really well bargained media rights deal with Fox/ESPN.
  23. His time here thus far has suggested the opposite of what you're saying, as far as I can tell. His true freshman year when he was locked in a battle with Gebbia, he played great. His sophomore year when he was the guy and had no competition he regressed significantly. His junior season he started off okay, but performed better later in the season after being benched and needing to retake the starting job.
  24. Are those returning snap counts right for the receivers? I'm starting to wonder if I just slept through all of 2020
