it's a big gamble taking him out of the middle, depends on who steps up and steps in at his inside spot...

Looked pretty good last year when they ran it againt mizzou with Baker in the middle. This isnt a permanent move, sounds like they are trying to find more ways to attack defenses.

Using Missouri as an example for why a rush defense will succeed is never a good idea. You'll need a different benchmark...just about anybody would do.

I like the aviators but I don't think I could pull it off. I think the athletic type sunglasses fit my style better.

Here's the Ironmans, I like the tip!

I'm in the market for some new sunglasses. What's sexy, Huskerboard?

Was Muhammad the one who was our best kick returner and punt blocker that year? Not a good combination, by the way.

No #93. Hopefully that continues.

Reasons the North Sucks is true:

2010: South

2009: South

2008: South

2007: South

2006: South

2005: South

2004: South

2003: North

2002: South

2001: North

2000: South

Since 2000, the South is 9-2. Before that really isn't that bad either, they're 2-2. The North sucked. That's just how it is.

So he's got no offers, no information on the internet about him, and the only other team interested is Iowa State. Sign him up, he sounds solid.

No. It's not even close.

I thought it was good, and that people here are taking themselves a bit too seriously.

Seriously. And to whoever asked "who the f*** is Rick Reilly?", he's a ten-time National Sportswriters and Sportscaster writer of the year. He doesn't write stuff for hits. And he also does those awesome montages after every golf major. He's no scrub. Sorry he badmouthed us a little bit.

 

Whooptie-freakin' doo. That ten-time national sportswriter of the year doesn't mean he can't write a piece of trash. Nor do those ten writer of the year awards pay for his mortgage. You know what does? Clicks on his stories.

 

Journalism is a business. Reilly is a businessman. He's doing what he has to to put food on the table. Don't get starstruck by some awards. Discern what he's writing, not who's writing it.

 

 

 

Right, it's business, so why take it personally?

 

 

I laughed at it.

No kidding. Get over it. I thought it was funny and I have no idea who the hell Rick Reilly is. If you don't think so, then cool, but don't act all butt hurt when somebody disagrees with you.

So we pay our players and we still suck?

It was better when Minka was on.

You've got your studies. I've got mine. (From the U.S. Census Bureau.) They all agree that you will make more money over your lifetime if you go to college.

I agree. Sort of.

People that go to college will earn more than the people who don't. True. On an individual basis, going to college will ALWAYS earn you more than not going to college. False.

It's a case-by-case thing, and if you're not the brightest tool in the drawer then you might be better working right away. If you're smart enough to get a good degree, then definitely go to college.

What I'm saying isn't anything different from anybody else in the sense that you need to do what is best for you. I'm just trying to point out that college isn't always what's best for you.

I know Landlord! HB loves us more than anyone.

College is overrated. If you don't actually plan on getting a job related to the degree you earn (which a TON of people don't) then you're wasting time at college.

 

Not quite true.

 

The report titled "The Big Payoff: Educational Attainment and Synthetic Estimates of Work-Life Earnings" (.pdf) reveals that over an adult's working life, high school graduates can expect, on average, to earn $1.2 million; those with a bachelor's degree, $2.1 million; and people with a master's degree, $2.5 million.

 

Persons with doctoral degrees earn an average of $3.4 million during their working life, while those with professional degrees do best at $4.4 million.

It makes those student loan dollars seem a bit more manageable. Not to mention there are ridiculous numbers of scholarships out there if you have the grades, athletic ability, work ethic, connections, or willingness to fill out the paperwork.

bullsh#t.

Yes, on average somebody with a college degree will make more money than someone without it. However, the number in the millions is ridiculous, it's much closer to $300,000. Economists at Princeton and the Federal Reserve agree.

And the reason that the statistic doesn't matter either way is because it compares all degrees to all non-degrees. Who do you think is going to affect their side more? A doctor or a greeter at Wal-Mart? But are those two people comparable at all? No. Truth is that if you're somebody who is on the fence about what to do, don't know if you really have that many skills, and plan to earn some generic "sociology" degree, college will do nothing but cost money and take away 4 earning years. If you are smart and plan to get a well-respected degree then go to college. If not, you should seriously consider what value it is going to add to your life.

Throw in the fact that the "extra" money is made at the end of your life, not the beginning. If you don't go to college, you'll make money now. If you go to college, you'll make more money, but in slow increments over time. The time value of money makes a huge difference in that.

Also consider that loans might mess up your life. You could possibly delay purchasing a home or delay having children because of those suckers. Is it worth it?

So you make the call. There are a ton of benefits to college. Just know that it's not always the right choice.

The coaches reached out to several incoming players last spring and asked them what number they wanted. Aaron Green is going to be #2, not sure about the rest though. The info I have comes from their twitter posts. But several have indicated they know what number is going to be on their backs in the fall.

Did twitter tell you what name will be on the front of Bubba?

Problem with internet rumors is sourcing. Kind of a big deal when you don't know if this is a person on the team (what position?) or a coach or someone who knows someone. Could be anyone.

 

But then 'random' posters have had some pretty dead on information in the past.

 

Not only that, but if they are a member of the team, or a trainer or some tertiary guy who doesn't like another player, that can skew the information. What we see on the field is the most reliable information. Anything else is going to be clouded by something.

 

It may be a bit of a bland way of looking at things, but you don't get suckered into nonsense as much. That's my take on it.

True, which is why I'll argue against you. The fans see on the field action 13 or 14 times a year, which is a pretty small sample size. If these sources come from somebody who knows what they're talking about, they probably are seeing these players in practice day in and day out.

It's possible that a trainer or somebody unimportant would be biased in their information, but a post like that sounds more of a paraphrase of coaches comments. That information looks too detailed to be made up, and if it's biased I bet it's not by much. If it is completely made up, well, props to that guy. That's pretty creative.

Someone needs to try to keep track of all these "sources" posts and, a few months later, try to determine if they're right or not. Some posts, like this one, are a little bit harder to do, but we could still get an idea.

My guess is that, more often than not, the "sources" are right. Not always, but more than they're wrong. Just what I've observed.

This is a stupid rule when you consider athletes get the required books for free then sell them at the end of the semester. So big whoop. Most of the time those "recommended" books are basically required anyway.

Eh I'd rather not have that asshat representing us, but whatevs.

Jeff Jamrog has nothing to do with this.

What would really suck if he just tears it up at whatever school he ends up at. There would be a lot of moments around here.

No, what would be worse is if he does worse than he did here. People wouldn't know what to do if they couldn't blame an unusual outcome on Shawn Watson.

What is the beef with Ward other than her gender?

Why does there have to be another reason? I'm sure the words she uses are just fine, but I don't really care. The sound of a woman's voice announcing football annoys me, and probably 98% of other football fans out there too.
