  1. Due to HS politics, you will see more coaches following AAU more than HS. A friend of mine's daughter was sitting the bench on the HS team, but because AAU she got a DII scholarship. It was higher offer than the other Sr. who started on varsity. Basketball?
  2. Not sure if this is the right section since this is not really football related. But we know for a H.S. athlete to even get to sniff any kind of athletic scholarship, they have to have success at their H.S. career. I have noticed all of these AAU, and traveling programs that really were not so abundant when I was a kid. And H.S. teams are recruiting from these programs. In fact, there is one school that comes to mind in Omaha who's assistant coach coaches one of these AAU teams and then tries hard to bring that entire 8th grade team to the H.S. that he coaches. A friend of mine paid literally thousands during her daughter's 7th and 8th grade year to play on a travelling volleyball team. It did pay off for her because her freshman year, she lettered on Varsity. I understand that the more you play at a high competition level, the more you set yourself up for success at the next level. But is there any way around spending thousands to play at a high level or to get noticed by H.S. coaches?
  3. Apparently, Bill Cosby partied at TA's house this weekend.

  4. When you walk into work and someone asks, "What did you think of the game?". That's the dumbest question in the world. "What do you think?"..in my Bo voice.

      Drink early, drink often?

  7. While we're at it, can we get rid of Valentinos and Runza for Godfathers and Broncos?
  8. I think the only more with less MR is doing is losing more games in less time than any other Husker coach in history.

  10. Eichorst's job isn't dependent on W-L's directly. It's on the $$$.
  11. Does one of the Lincoln radio stations have a post game show? 1620 has cancelled theirs due to the World Series coverage.

      I don't think so.

  12. I wouldn't mind if Nebraska ended their relationship with Adidas. I wouldn't mind if they ended it with Valentino's and Runza either. #yeahIsaidit

  14. To be fair, Tom Osborne could coach Northwest and that wouldn't make a difference.
  15. My parents got divorced and in came my mom's new boyfriend who ended up being physically abusive, does that count?

      I pity the 'fo' who letters in HS.

      Lettering probably depends on the school, sport, and roster size. For bigger schools with football, most coaches require kids to play a certain number of snaps at varsity, regardless of grade level.

      For example, my high school football qualification was playing 8 different quarters throughout the season.

       

      Playing a quarter = playing 1 play in that quarter. So I got to letter sophomore year because I was on nothing but the PAT team :)

  17. I have a hard time believing Ameer is a legit 5"9. More like 5"7.

      I was walking next to him after the Iowa game and we were pretty much eye to eye. I'm 5'6 1/2". He could have a taller forehead than me, but not 2 1/2"!

      That 1/2 inch really matters for some guys.

  18. I'm unable to attend due to my son having a football game that day. Seats are in South Stadium, not high up. I live in Omaha.
  19. I'm looking at a local High School course catalog and there is a section that talks about D1 requirements for the NCAA. It says there are 16 core courses needed. It says 4 years of additional courses. That means 4 years of foreign language. That's crazy. I don't know any non athlete that took that many foreign language classes let alone athletes.
  20. If they expand then there's a championship game. Hey, I just miss our rivalries and short road trips.
