  1. I have been watching a ton of tape over the last few months. I think calling Nebraska's D horrible or abysmal is a gross overstatement, and it doesn't really explain why we lost 8 games. Despite not having a true nose, good safeties, and starting the best catch tackler/ most underwhelming 4 year starter in Nebraska history (D.Young); they didn't get a ton of help from the Offense when it mattered. Our Offense was so boom or bust, but mostly bust. There are so many quarters where the Offense did not put up points. If Nebraska is able to just eliminate scoreless halves and quarters, it changes everything. Let alone a decent jump on D would make Nebraska more than formidable. They could contend for the conference rather easily.

      Big thing is improving on 3rd-downs, so many times we had two good plays then blew it on 3rd-and long. Being able to field a bigger/stronger  legit 3-4 d-line that can rotate should help a lot. Should be able to rotate at LB more too. Pro day showed how slow our safeties were, losing experience but gaining athleticism.  Corner developed considerably over the course of last season. Not expecting big things but we should give up one less score a game and force some turnovers.

  2. What Randy Gregory did isn't half as bad as what Robert Kraft did.

      Kraft didn't harass or force himself on anyone, don't care if he paid for a handy. As far as Randy goes weed should certainly be legal, but til it is he needs to find a different way to deal like millions of others do.

      Even without UGA crapping the bed in their bowl their complaint was already crap. ND ran the board against a legit sched. UGA got their asses handed to them by LSU then lost another game on top of that.

  5. Mike McIntyre out at CU after this season. That game may have gotten easier for NU next season.

      We were whooping that a$$ next year either way. Montez will be gone and our O will be much better than what CU saw. Plus this team will be on the warpath after what #44 pulled.

  6. 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.

    1. Danimal

      LP should have been gone and while TO was trying to help LP he admits he should have handled the situation better.  Urban is gone. I think if he owned-up to his poor judgment in keeping Smith he'd get by, but covering up his complicity puts this over the top. .

      Bar-league sand volleyball is a good time.

  9. Can someone tell me why Nick Gates left early again?

    1. Danimal

      Danimal

      Yes onlyHskrfaninIL, scouts saw the same thing we did. Out-of-shape guy that finishes the play watching his teammate getting tackled. He should have came back, busted his butt in S&C, then busted his butt on the field. Then he probably would have been like a 4th-round pick.

  10. I wonder if all these kids committing to Illinois know that Lovie will be gone in the next 2-3 years 

    1. Danimal

      Danimal

      Frosh playing left and right, guys transferring out left and right,  but starting to get some big recruits. Will be interesting to see how this shakes-out for Lovie. Perusing their sched I don't see them doing better than 4-8 this season.

  11. For the people that have complained that Weird Al doesn't ever have any original songs: https://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/weird-al-yankovics-vanity-tour-hits-new-york-w518293

      If you like original novelty-songs I suggest giving Wheeler Walker's youtube channel a try, he's a little more risqué than Weird Al but it's good stuff.

  12. Only 113 pages of Huskerboard ago we hired a coach no one ever heard of.

       I still remember that drive to work when I tuned to Sports Nightly and heard we made that hire, the folks in the care next to probably thought I was nuts.

      Clemson vs MSU and OU vs Bama is how it should have been.

  15. Bronco Mendenhall is new Virginia head coach.

  16. The more I think about our Oline the more pissed i get at Cavanaugh. From everything i hear from people who have seen spring ball, fall ball, and in season practices i dont believe him about some "huge gap" between 1st and lower strings.

    1. Danimal

      Danimal

      It does seem funny that we rotated for years then suddenly we can't under Cavanaugh.

  18. So, Newby is hurt and now Wilbon is getting reps...

    1. Danimal

      Hope we get to see Wilbon out there Saturday. He looked good in the first two games. I don't want him to transfer out.

  19. 2 years after a Mike Shula team went 10-2, a Nick Saban team lost 6 games at Bama.

    1. Danimal

      Danimal

      I'd say you are stretching things by noting Shula's one good season. That team didn't do squat before or after. Saban inherited a team that went 6-7 the year before.

  20. I'm a husker pessimist, but all Nebraska has to do is get to a bowl game, finish 7-6 and grab a few strong recruits along the way. The next game is a must for Mike Riley though, not sure how Nebraska makes a bowl game with a loss to Minnesota.

    1. Danimal

      Danimal

      Just squeaking-out a winning season would have been disappointing back in August but as it stands now it would be a nice turnaround. The BIG east really aint **** right now so it is do-able.

      I picked-him on waivers in fantasy league after a strong opening week and he hasn't done jack since.

      I'll admit I was liking DeRuyter when it looked like Bo was gone after the Iowa game. He turned me off last night with the all the cut-blocking and on-side kick after we called off the dogs.

  24. The Pirate loses again. He's havin' a tough time turning Wazzu around.

    1. Danimal

      Danimal

      I like Leach but he isn't a good enough recruiter to get real talent to Wazzou and folks have figured-out his O to the point where he can't just outscheme folks anymore.

  25. Sounds like there is some drama surrounding Melvin Gordons lack of PT in the 2nd half. Could get ugly according to some UW people. Time will tell.

    1. Danimal

      Danimal

      If Gordon wasn't hurt there is no excuse for him not getting way more carries. Throw-in repeatedly trying to pass despite it just not working and they dug their own grave. Of course losing those d-linemen hurt a lot too.
