You have always been one of the most optimistic on the board.  Truly. I definitely agree with and applaud your honesty.  NIL and the portal have made developing kids irrelevant.  They wont stay long enough to be "developed".  Prime (a lot of other personal factors assisted) showed how to use the system to reload/rebuild almost immediately.  No way every coach will have the prime factor, but guys can come "close".  One HC (I forgot who) recently said recruits are now demanding fees for official visits.  Adapt or become extinct like the dinosaurs.  

He hasn't been one of the most positive posters. He is absolutely miserable when "his" coach isn't on the sidelines.

Did I miss something? I keep seeing round peg in a square hole. Round pegs still fit in square holes unless the circumference of the peg is bigger than the square.

Please fix for my sanity.

I don't think anyone here would be saying "we can judge yet!" if it was Rhule doing a significantly better job than Sanders.

Because no one would have to.

So, what dictates "greatest fans"? 

Quoting you only because yours is the last post in this discussion.

Read what the sign actually says. It is including fans of both teams. It isn't stating only Nebraska fans are the greatest. So what dictates "greatest fans" are any that attend a game in Memorial stadium.

What is it with the "top their" B1G East athletic departments and all their scandals?  

Each team in the east looks at the others and think we have to "top their" scandal.

But how can that be?   

 

We need WR depth.  He's 6'4, super fast, and our #1 recruited player.

 

After watching Colorado play TCU,

 

I thought about that when we played Minnesota.  What/how/who holds a 4 star recruit with size and speed from playing day 1? 

I'd say the recruit determines it.

Do you think they are better than Minnesota?

Do I think TCU is better than Minny? Not really.

I don’t think that’s the argument 

So you think this TCU team is as good as last year's TCU team? Their defense has looked slow and not very good at all.

1 minute ago, Huskerfollower4life said:

Even if TCU is playing like a shell of themselves what make you think our offense can compete with Colorado's?

We won't put them on the field to defend them. We'll use our defense to compete against them.

Same thing happened to Betts in '21 Wisconsin, and I remember a whole lot of complaints about a no call there.

dont believe i was one of those people.

The game was officiated horribly, and both teams got a lot of bad breaks.  As one fan pointed out, Nebraska got away with obvious pass interference and roughing the passer on the same play near the end of the game.  There were a lot of missed calls and bad calls, and they went both ways.

 

It may not be much consolation, but the incompetent officiating evens out, it really does.

If you are referring to the deep throw on the td drive, the defender was making a play on the ball and the receiver came back into him. The no call was the right call.

Go ahead and compare the "bank" being made by the players vs the athletic dept. Thinking that is at all even is what's laughable.

 

Regardless, players should be allowed to transfer just as much as any other college student IMO. And letting an incredibly inept institution like the NCAA make these determinations is just the cherry on top of the stupidity.

Nobody is stopping them from transferring. The rule is just preventing them from playing.

I don't get why he is a so called at-will employee?  He should be under an assistant coach contract bc he is coaching full-time and recruiting.  Yes he didn't ask to be put in this position but since he is well pay, the man for what he is worth.  Kinda feels like a slap in a face to me.

He was an analyst up until now. He will make $150k for the year. How much is he worth in your opinion? Then ask yourself why he wasn't an assistant somewhere else. After that think about how most of the assistant contracts are structured and the time frame they are usually for. Maybe, just maybe there was a reason to do it this way and all parties were well informed why it is being done this way.

Starting at 220 (221, whatever it takes…what movie?)teams would be down to 110 teams after the first two days… Then you immediately follow that up with two more days to get it down to 55 which I know is an uneven number but just bear with me… then you take Friday off and continue Saturday and Sunday to get it down to 27 James… Then you take a few days off and cut down to what is essentially be sweet 16. 

 

and I’d rather watch more tournament basketball, then less.  Plus the huskers could probably make a field of 220.

Mr mom

But would they be able to win a game?
