  1. In light of the Urban Meyer cover-up news, do you think Osborne would have survived the 90's as head coach if it was in today's time of social media and hot takes? At the very least, without proper context and from the outside in, some of his behavior looks ~very~ morally suspicious.

      @Comfortably Numb what about the hidden gun?

      Plus I will add, after LP was gone TO still was in contact with him and continued to try to help and support him even when there was no benefit for the football program. That tells me a lot about Tom. I think it was a very hard decision for TO at the time and it was driven more by what would help LP than by what would help NU football. Even if it obviously ended up being the wrong way to handle it, as TO admits now

      @HuskerNBigD What about the gun...? I don't think TO handled that the right way at all and what should've happened is much more cut and dried than in the LP situation. Look, I'm not claiming TO was any kind of saint but I do think a lot of people misrepresent or don't really understand the LP thing. It was not a win at all costs wild west environment but there may have been a few things that flirted with or stepped over that line. That should shock no one considering what our team accomplished in the 90's and virtually every team that has ever attained that level of success. Plus, when you're that good, the scrutiny gets turned way up. It doesn't mean questionable things aren't happening everywhere, just that there is no reason to look at a .500 level team or coach.

      I think the people that voted for him for the wrong reasons are going to be highly disappointed. And the people who feared his election will be somewhat relieved. Just IMO, I could be in for a rude awakening.

      The thing I'm wondering about, JJ, is how many would call "FINALLY!" what you and I see as "BS".

       

      I don't think that is a trivial element of his support, and I think it's undeniable that it has been awakened. I also don't expect their hopes to be delivered. I'm worried about what happens when it does not.

    4. zoogs

      And also about how much pressure Trump is under to continue catering to them with a wink and a nod. Because a POTUS that relies on and responds to those forces, that's a future I don't want to see.

  5. Despite Tommy not being able to field snaps and not throw the ball straight to defenders, and without our Heisman candidate, Beck got our offense 35 points yet the arrogance of huskerboard is forever convinced he's the most incompetent OC in the country. Unreal.

      For one they sped up the process of admitting refugees, when worldwide it takes 18-24 months to admit a refugee to admitting Syrians in 3 about months.

       

      I get why people are upset over revoking/banning individuals who have visas/green cards/are legal residents of the US, that's messed up and I agree with that point. Aside from that aspect, what the final order will be that will go through is actually piggy backing off of what Obama's administration had started.

      Except Obama's order to halt Iraqi refugee processing had an end date (the Syrian refugees do not), and was in response to an actual SPECIFIC terrorist threat in Bowling Green.

Two sites that serve the same purpose are competitors, but even if not, it's not permissible to take advantage of HB's platform to advertise without consent.

      I guess I meant it more as he didn't do it for very long. Yes, as a DC he had some pretty stellar ratings. Dorsey and Suh are God-sends for that mans career. Still, I'd think the "guru" status would be reserved for someone with a bit more tenure.

       

      You sure you're #1 ? No way. If so though, I commend you for not making it the topic of every one of your discussions here.

    3. Landlord

      Landlord

      I agree with zoogs tbh - when Bo was either underneath or surrounded by good coaches, nobody had a better defensive mind in the game, which isn't excusing the poor performances under his watch as head coach, but also doesn't diminish his accomplishments as a DC - every good DC has good support.

       

      There's just as many 'facts' in support of his defensive coaching ability as there are against it. The negative ones just stand out more.

      Bama has one of the easiest schedules in the SEC. The only real speedbump they have is LSU. If they lose that game, they still find their way to the BCS-NC (2012). In 5 years, we won 4 Conference Championships, 4 NC game appearances, 3 NC Titles and 1 Orangle Bowl Victory. 60-3 at that.
