Overland Park Husker

Are they really doing double ribbon boards on the east side? I think that will look tacky.

Well, according to the recruiting nitpicks in this thread, he wasn't offered by USC, Bama, LSU, OU or Texas and isn't a :star :star :star :star

I could've swore this thread was about a guy named Shoff. Must have clicked on the wrong post.

And Decommitted in December or January? Nope. Both are perfect examples of the nice guy finishing last. If they committed way back then and they wanted to start looking around and decommit, they would have. It is not about when you give your verbal it is about where you sign your name. I will be frank with you, if we would have been more connected with Diggs, he would be a Husker. There was a point during the season that the staff was certain he would be a Husker. We decided to "give him his space," and look where that landed us. Fuller is oddly simular. I read the rumors on the Rivals board too. I'll be frank, he got the offer from his dream school and committed to them. It happens.

Ford is listed as 5'10 180lb. Mitchell was 5'11 165lb. I don't think Ford needs to put on that much weight, if any, to contribute.

Do you really think they've never talked about this. I'm sure he came right in and started bashing the recruiting of his boss. So none of the coaches talk to each other. they just do their own thing and recruit the players they want? I find that very hard to believe. I think you missed the point

I can see that and have seen that throughout the season. For some reason, mid way through the third quarter and going into the fourth, our team looked intimidated. I don't think we looked intimidated at all, I'd say they were more demoralized and frustrated by the redzone turnovers, hail mary passes and dropped balls. They were very much in that game, but as usual stupid mistakes and fluke plays took over. I guess when I see the offensive line fall apart in the fourth quarter cause they can't match up with the defensive line, I see intimidation. Yes we had the hail mary, turnovers and dropped balls, but from what I remember most of that was in the first 3 quarters, when we were down by 3. By the fourth quarter our players were outmatched.

Not sure about Dennard's incident (him and Jeffery were both playing very physical), but you could link Bo's demeanor and the teams compete loss of focus.

National championship? No. Top 2 in our division? Yes. And we got crushed in 3 games and in the fourth one player got picked on too many times without the coaches doing anything about. I'm not saying fire anyone, but something needs to change or happen in the offseason.

you have to adjust to your players.... Agree with the scheme and your post accountability, but also with what melscott said. There has to be some flexibility in your scheme to adjust or overcome your weaknesses. Also, this scheme and the way we use it against anything close to a mobile QB does not seem to work. And when it comes to a passing down (like 3rd and 20) our players look clueless as to how to rush the QB that we have to blitz. And our blitzes just haven't worked this year as we get no pressure on the QB. Then you have a 25 yard completion and you're still on the field cause 6-7 guys couldn't get any pressure and our DB's just aren't good enough to all have man coverage.

Here are some stats for you: 2008 (Marvin's first year): 89th ranked passing defense 82nd ranked passing efficiency 2011: 18th ranked passing defense 25th ranked passing efficiency How about giving the guy a little time? He took over an established system. Marvin was trying to undo all the damage done by that one guy, can't remember his name. Swim? Swammi? Slippy? Slappy? Swenson? Swanson? Cosgrove! I was way off He took over an established system, with 3 of 4 new starters who saw very little playing time last year (save for Evans, who got yanked last year after one bad play). I was also told that Marvin Sanders did more with less. Stats don't seem to say so, cause 2008 he had less (with 3 of 4 returning starters) and finished a lot worst. Raymond's been here one year. His group has shown improvement throughout the year. Give him more time.

The problem is, In the past 10-15 years, more often than not, when the Huskers face any kind of adversity they back down instead of facing it. And when you don't face it, things snowball out of control fast. Somewhere along the line we lost leadership and swagger that good teams just have. Our guys seem to play well to start games, but one thing goes wrong and they wilt.I'm not sure what the problem is and how to fix it, but someone in the locker room or coaching offices need to figure out what it is or 8-9 win seasons will become the norm.

ESPN3 if you can get it

The trailer looks bad, but knowing the other films the movie will be good.

Source? Not that I don't believe you, it's just that the last time someone on here said we were out of it Diggs came out and made a public statement about how we was still very high on us... Paid Rivals article

Al Gore? I knew it. Where is man-bear-pig?

For some reason I have a hard time posting pics, but here you go early.bmp

Well it is a 2 parter, so I'm assuming the first one will be like the Fellowship of the Ring and the second one will be more like Return of the King. Thats the way the book was written
