  3. Guys, I don't know if anyone here watched the game, but I was there. It was bad.

      We decorated our Christmas tree and put up decorations for the holidays so, all in all, I'm pretty bummed out about Husker football.

       

      Our tree does look really good, though.

      As long as you didn't expect it to not be bad everything is as foretold.

  4. No squirrels were harmed during the Scott Frost vs. The World competition. But right now the Finals are going on in the Crib and you should go vote.

      Maybe no harm to the squirrls but not so sure us nuts are left a little less  wise. Had to go with home boy, even though Matt C would be a solid option.

      Hey Knap, I just looked at the circular from Fareway and you can get a free fresh young turkey if you buy $50 worth of other meat. I really like the quality of their meat. Their ground breakfast sausage is the best!

      Whew, glad it's a YOUNG turkey.

  7. On the final play of the Minnesota game POB had seven-man protection against a three-man front and he got sacked.

      Yeah that sums this season up pretty well.  Backup QB sacked on final play while his Offensive Line had a 2:1 personnel advantage.

      Yeah but at least we got the timeout in time to run that marvel of nature.

      @El Diaco  I'm almost done with season seven, and I can finally go into the ASOIAF thread and talk about it.  I've been avoiding spoilers all these years, and I've been amazingly successful.  Only a few things I knew, a few things I thought I knew but was wrong (like how Jon Snow ends up in season seven after what happened to him in other seasons).

       

      It's been pretty entertaining.  I'll definitely watch the series again before Season 8 comes out.  Whenever that is.

  13. We're more talented than most of the teams we've played this year but we lose because the players lack urgency. Our coaches don't show the team that they have a strong desire to win. Fitz does, and NU responds to that. That's why we'll have new coaches next year.

    1. MLB 51

      MLB 51

      Agree. We have good talent, but we lack coaching.

  14. Between me & the anonymous donor, we should reach the fundraising goal now. Cheers.

      Same as Enhance.  BBQ Rib Sandwiches.

       

      My school has pretty good food.  Especially once they started doing breakfast.  I still haven't had better breakfast burritos or breakfast pizza to this day.

      *had

    3. jsneb83

      BBQ rib on a bun, I believe. We also had pizza burgers and fiestadas, my favorite

      @GSG Fish sandwiches, I think we even had fish nuggets. We would also get grilled cheese and tomato soup

      The amount of plays where initial contact is at or behind the LOS has to be very high. Curious if his data turned up that number as well.

    4. 4skers89

      4skers89

      No wonder we abandon the run :bang   I'm confident we can get that percentage higher against NW.  About 6:00 Saturday I'll be thinking "Moos, we need a cleanup in memorial stadium, Cav and Langs made another mess."

  17. The clearest sign yet that Riley is gone. Sad for us that he didn't realize his dream here. Sad for him that his big final shot didn't turn out how he wanted it to go. But it's going to work out for Mike Riley and it's going to work out for us.

      Disagree with Bookie decommit.  He has been on the fence for awhile.  I think Moos' statement about how we need to compete with big programs and win convincingly over teams we should beat to be quite telling.  He also spoke very highly of SF.  Regardless, this RIley show is cancelled and it will be one heckuva offseason/finish to recruiting season.  GBR!!

      It's sad HCMR is a great person and I hoped he could have been better than his past record had shown,he had the chance to assemble a great staff but chose to hire who he did and it cost him a job.

    4. krc1995

      krc1995

      Yes MEM- but I guess his fate was written when he brought the old staff with him.  He surely has made some changes since and thought nothing of cutting old friends.  At a lesser program, I say he should get another 2-3 years to let him evolve.  But at Nebraska, we have too much to lose.  I feel it's really now or never and we better get it right this time.  

  18. Tonight is the night. I KNOW I will see the Great Pumpkin this year.

      lolwut.  1st half put me to sleep.  I didn't catch it.  Official game thread should be hilarious.

      Year 3 of Harbaugh and they are headed the wrong direction on the field...better can him and hire Scott Frost before someplace like Nebraska does.

      @ZRod made me think of this:

      "Sorry, mom, the mob has spoken."
      "MonoFrost... MonoFrost!.. MONOFROST!... MONOFROST!!!!"
      "Mono - doh!"

      That Harbaugh/Callahan analogy seems silly.

    Gym called police on teen who kept sneaking in

     

    A Chicago teen had been repeatedly warned about sneaking onto the basketball court at a suburan fitness facility, but one police officer came up with an alternative to arresting him for criminal trespassing.

      Here's your feel-good story of the day. It'll be interesting to see if this kid's identity comes out in 10 years if/when he makes it to the NBA.  I know we see all the headlines about the things cops do wrong, but these are the kinds of stories we need to see, too. My mom worked for two PDs in her life and I got to know several officers pretty well. These stories happen way oftener than you think.

  24. Nebraska had seven tackles for loss against Ohio State. The Buckeyes had one TFL against us.

     

    How does that happen in a blowout like that? Weird stat.

      When did ours come?

       

      Also our run defense is pretty stout along the line. Almost all of our breakdowns come when plays go out to the edge. 

    3. JJ Husker

      JJ Husker

      That stat might be skewed a bit based on TOP and the comparative number of snaps each offense took. Let's not forget they had 41 first downs and never punted.

       

      But yeah, still a little weird.

    4. Huskerzoo

      Huskerzoo

      I was only half watching near the end, but my impression is that our team is a bit backwards from where I thought it would be. Our line play wasn't awful. Our gap LB decision making leaves a lot to be desired. Our secondary is not pretty. 

       

      Similarly on offense, dropped passes and stupid calls have had far more of an impact on the season than our OL imo. Now that could be an artifact of a lot of pressure, but it doesn't feel that way to me. 

  25. I hate that it isn't the Red River Shootout anymore. Someone explain to me why we can own all the guns, shoot all the guns, will never ban guns, but we can't say "shootout" anymore.
