Dear Chris Heady: leave the animated GIFs in the last decade and use videos where I can actually see stuff, please.

Did somebody tip over the Kool-Aid Man?

Sirius is like twice as old as the players are. I'd humbly suggest something that's at least from this century. I like Black Label Society's Fire It Up: a nice intro when videos could be shown on Huskervision, a boom when the players take the field, and plenty of swagger.

@RedDenver True, but I think it's telling that they didn't really even give Gebbia any runs.

Martinez was the #1 rusher, while Gebbia didn't even make the stat sheet for rushers. Gebbia might be the better passer, but from what we saw yesterday, Martinez seemed like the more complete QB for this offense.

Right now, I'd say Martinez looks the best overall. Not perfect, but seems to be the guy with all the pieces. Gebbia seemed a little off the mark at times. Those bobbled snaps were a bit alarming (not sure who they had at center?). There's not a loser in the... uhh... bunch, though, and it's a long time until Akron. Running game still a work in progress. Obviously a few nice runs, and looking better than last season, but seemed pretty inconsistent.

Of Ultimate Destiny!

@PlzCoolerMe Yeah, Held said he did a coin toss. Whether that's true or not, I'll let you decide. That said, I really hope Wilbon finally gets his chance to shine this year. He never really had a chance with Riley. Also, the board software doesn't recognize mobile twitter links, so it won't automatically embed them. If you cut out the 'mobile.' part and everything after the question mark, it should work: https://twitter.com/GBRosenthal/status/986987997643059203

Frost already said 'the majority of guys doing well' will be on one side (presumably Red).

Even the recruiting guys don't always agree on pro-style vs dual-threat. Bunch was listed as pro-style on Rivals and dual-threat on 247. He wasn't used as a runner at Scottsdale CC, but ran an offense similar to this one in HS.

@Savage Husker I noticed that too. Alvarez's playing days were before Osborne was named OC. Osborne was an unpaid assistant on offense at the time, I believe, and Alvarez played linebacker. I'm sure they'd met, but probably didn't know each other too well.

It was a private conversation that somebody leaked to the press...

Some apparently still want to believe that Bo cast some voodoo mind-control spell over the players, and that it wasn't, you know, exactly what any team's reaction would be when you fire their 9-win coach and replace him with a career .500 guy...

@Making Chimichangas My thoughts exactly. It's the same thing we've all been saying for years, but it's nice to finally hear someone inside the program acknowledge it. The Strain was more with the coaching staff than the players. You feel for some of the guys who were trying to do things right (Parella and D. Williams, from the sound of things). For as 'nice' as Riley was, it's incredible how much drama he brought in.

Beck's system wasn't a problem, but his play calling often was. He'd set up opposing defenses, and then forget to call what he was setting them up for.

Cool, they'll have paid for themselves in energy savings sometime around the year 2177!

'Member when some people were saying Bray should be our next DC? I 'member. Never really understood it, but...

The whole team was hamstrung by Riley. But that doesn't quite explain why the O-line was on its own special level of suck, IMO.

Interesting that it's Verduzco making that tweet. Even referring to him as "The Bobfather" - must be picking up the lingo quickly.

For that matter, Frost wasn't well liked either, until he'd proven himself with the team and earned their respect.

If this is what you're looking for... Then as @Landlord said, try Lubalin Graph Bold. https://www.whatfontis.com/NFC_ITC-Lubalin-Graph-Bold.font Or did you mean the Husker Power in the background of this, or the somewhat different font on the weights?

@RunMickeyRun02 I think it just hadn't been officially announced when Verduzco was doing his interview. Like how they often don't announce major injuries right away, they try to at least let the family know directly first, rather than find out through the media.

I'd say it's more likely that we'll be taking a grad transfer now, as long as there's a scholarship available. Sounds like we've already been talking to at least one.

I'd say we pretty much have an O-line comprised entirely of promising freshmen at this point. On paper, we're recruited players reasonably well, but they've been so under-coached that they might as well be true freshmen. It's far from hopeless, but of course the question is how quickly they can get up to speed and start looking like they belong on the field playing for a P5 team.
