  1. Can we please get rid of Perlman and our AD. Perlman needed to be gone years ago, and from what I've seen and heard SE is not going to work out here.

  2. I hate to say it, but I would be surprised if something bad doesn't happen during the Olympics. If someone gave me a free trip all expenses paid to the Olympics this year I would seriously consider turning it down.

      I'd say it could go either way. I hope it's safe, but Sochi is in a pretty shaky region of Russia. I'm surprised (ok, not surprised) the IOC allowed it to be there.

  3. Wanna thank everyone who voted for me in the starting lineup. I actually made it!! I will be guarding your guys' asses, not literally, but i will be in the back end, again not literally, as a Safety. #goatsforeveryone

      Im the best safety in the nation! When you try me with a bunch of sorry receivers you arent going to like the results you see! Dont you ever talk about me! Accountability, dont you open your mouth about the best or Im gonna shut it for you real quick!!

      I'm not much of a thinker, but because of the targeting rules (you cant attack a poster) and all the offensive advantages makes it an offensive game. I'm sorry, I just dont see any particular individual-even one of the talents of CN-causing any sort of change in the current culture of the game. The TEAM is more than one guy.

      A 45-minute interview with the AP and two local newspapers. Sounds like it was the AD's move to set the tone before the season starts. As you know, once it starts he won't have any comment until it's over.

  6. Total bush league by Tabata with Sherzer having perfect game going. Leaned into an inside pitch that hit his elbow which he conveniently had armor on. Gotta get rid of the body armor in baseball. No way he leans into that without the armor on.

      Come on, guys. Dez backed out on his own and Clemson swooped in late on Simmons. They played in the title game and are one of the "it" programs right now. Let's not crucify the coaches. Sometimes you're the hammer, sometimes you're the nail.

      All worthy concerns. It's not ideal, but if I were to pick one contributer to cut loose it would of been Jordy, and that includes Borchardt. 

      I look forward to see the small lineup more, it's a match-up nightmare for opposing teams. Still weird to see this kind of athleticism on a Nebraska team.

      Start by looking at a 3x3 square. If you add 1 to one of the sides to get a 3x4 rectangle, you've added a single 3x1 rectangle or increased the area by 3. If you add 0.5 to both sides to get a 3.5x3.5 square, you've added two 3x0.5 rectangles (each of area 1.5 or an increase in area of 3 for both) and an additional 0.5x0.5 square (increase of 0.25 in area) for a total increase in area of 3.25. It's that additional square which causes the area to be greater because that additional square is getting increased area from the combination of increasing both the width and height.

      There are plenty of humble superstars out there. Tim Tebow is one of them, and society hates him for it. Fact is, the world we live in would much rather discuss the train wrecks, the narcissistic, ego maniacs who make sure they hold the spotlight. Good, humble people don't sell newspapers.

  17. Okay, I'm not a fan of Tebow and I don't think he is a long term QB in the NFL, but I do have to say he is a winner. Why wouldn't a team like the Jags take a chance on him? Huge draw b/c he's from there and Gabbert really sucks.

      Tebow's success in Denver wasn't because of 'luck'. He had a helluva season, they were 1-4 until he came in and he was a huge reason they ended up in the playoffs. IMO most teams won't take him because of the circus that follows him not because the guy doesn't belong in the league or can't play. I watched those Denver games. The guy is a baller. Now he has to come into a situation in NE, his 3rd team in 3 years competing against a backup with 3 years experienc...

      Like Wyo, they have some good skilled players on O. Wo went 3-9 last year, so, SO Miss should be able to put up some yds and maybe a few points on us. IF we lost, well, maybe even the most hardcore koolaid drinkers might say something "bad", oh the horror...

      Officials told the coaches that Dez lunging for the end zone isn't a football move, because "it's not a move common to the game."

       

      That just makes that call even more iffy. Three steps, lunge for the end zone (football move) .. to me, it makes the ball contacting the ground irrelevant.

      If those were two football moves (intentional steps) towards the endzone, I'm a monkey's uncle. More like trip, stumble, fall, don't maintain possession. At least that's what I saw.
