Trying to stay out of The “Who is better” debate, I will say that I watched the 2018 Iowa game right before 2019 just for fun.  You wouldn’t know it is the same qb if they didn’t use the same name on broadcast. They looked dramatically different. 2018 was quick. 2019 had no first step. 2018 was decisive, 2019 was not. 2018 could pull away, 2019 could not.  Could be injury, could be weight, could be other weapons around him but clearly they were not the same. In the off season I hope Frost tells or at least hints as to why that is.

But if Pelini had said that... HOLY BALLS!!!.... it would be national headlines!

The Husker Goody Two Shoes Gang would be petitioning to run him out of town.

What year? Bo 2008-2012 would have been loved for it. After that it would have been national news only because he had the reputation for saying and doing some crass things and became an easy target. 

Improvements take a long time at every school. If it was easy to fix this stuff every team would be 12-0. 

Maybe Noah can play center!

Play the kid. He has heart and is fearless. You could see it in his decision making. Martinez is the man, but Noah might be what they need for a series or half or for the next game. What do you lose by giving him a few series? And don’t tell me Martinez’ psyche because that clearly isn’t right and hasn’t been all year. 

I have never seen any division 1 football team that can’t snap the ball. How can we not have someone on this team that can snap the ball?  

From a logistical side-no way it would happen. As a fan, if I could do it like I was playing a video game and it just happened and I didn’t care about money. Yeah, I probably would. 

I think he does this so if for some reason he “misses” his upper body still blocks the ball. Some are high but he could catch them...but I think he is trying to mitigate risk. 

A good offensive line makes most of the problems go away. That may not happen this year and to be fair it is unreasonable to think this rebuild would be complete after one year. Many pieces are already in place, but one very important piece is not. 

The team that played the first half can beat a lot of teams if that team shows up for complete games. 

Im a glass half full kind of guy.

Just think, if we had an 11am kick the game would already be on right now. 

 

11am > all

Kids have soccer at 12 and 6. It is the perfect kick off for me!

Man, ads suck but I guess I am used to them because I don’t think these are any worse than almost every web page. Plus you can x-out pretty easy. 

New guy has to make money. If this does it for him then I can manage to hit a few x’s to keep this board going.

I don’t know who this is, but here’s another

 

This is a bold pick. Even if Nebraska won the west and the Big Ten championship game—they would still not be a lock for the playoff. They might have to be undefeated for that to happen. Maybe 1 loss.

It's pretty common, but if you get caught serious consequences are also common.  

Absolutely. 

All of this over a 10 second video. The kind that almost every current hs student has and has shared. 

Not saying it it is ok, just that this practice is very common in high schools today.

I dunno but I’m about to get drunk, which I wasn’t originally planning on, so I will bookmark this and revisit later and see if drunk me learned anything.

6 hours later...how do you feel?

There is reason to think we will sneak up on a big 10 team or two and steal a win as an underdog.

stop blaming Bunch, he is doing his best, the team is playing like s#!t.

Agree. Bunch wasn’t awesome, but he is a walk on quarterback.  He did his part. It is the rest of the team that failed to pick him up not the other way around.

Okay.. thanks for sharing that mentality. I'll let the coaches and players decide for themselves if they are ready to compete or not.

Well, so will I. But I doubt they will post much on this message board.  Most people probably come here to share their thoughts and opinions.

A new season starts tomorrow with conference play. 0-0. Now go get ready to beat Michigan.

I love Nebraska. 

Saw an nothing today that tells me we are ready to beat Michigan.

So we made sure to call plays that would yield no yards and burn no clock, guaranteeing Troy gets a chance to score more points?

 

Fabulous.

Well, we did have that one play where we threw into double coverage. So there is that. 

From what I saw that defensive line is solid. I will predict it is the best we have seen since Suh. 

But our stats won’t really show it because the defense will face 80+ plays a game. 

I learned Akron is a bunch of pansies. 

Someone tell me it is lightening and raining in Lincoln right now, then I won’t feel as bad about the game being cancelled instead of postponed.

We would all transfer too if we were in gebbias shoes.  I don't blame him and I wish him the best.

I wouldn’t.  Right now he is number two behind a true freshman who will be running the ball and has a decent chance of being injured at some point in the season.  The only way your odds improve with any college football team is to be named the starter. 

The chances of him playing this season were 100%.  Not just in backup duty either. If you are confident you are the best and just need a chance to show it, you are in a pretty good place right now. 

Or or you can transfer and try to win the job somewhere else. You lose a year and still have to beat out their 4* Qb. 

I agree reed that he deserves to make the choice and I agree that I am just some guy on the internet. 

But I wouldn’t make that choice and as some loser on the internet I reserve the right to point out that it is a bad decision.
