    There's a way to do things and a way to not do things. I will grant (and this will be the last time I bring this up ITT in order to not derail) that it wouldn't have mattered because Denney hated Trev's guts.

    Man, I get tired of this stupid argument. A men’s sport had to go for Title IX. It wasn’t Trev’s decision and he called Denny before it hit the papers the NEXT F&(@ing MORNING.

     

    The UNO Wrestling thing is tired and worn out and quite frankly nobody really cares. People that understand things have understood the decision for a long time. Look at UNO now. It was absolutely the correct decision.

    NCAA desperately looking for a reason to exist at this point...

    lol. Right?!?  You guys say they can be paid?  You guys say they can transfer?  You guys say you are making a bigger playoff?  Fine. No cookies and photos today. 
     

    It’s like a terrible parent of a toddler…

    One of the great things about coming to Autzen in the fall is that some of the best weather on the coast is in the fall. Of course flyfishing the McKenzie in October is great also. It's just a beautiful time of year in Eugene. 

    Love Oregon. Have spent a lot of time in the Bandon area as well as the Salem area. Such a cool place.

    Isn't that the same as the big hubbub in the NFL this weekend with the OL not reporting (or the refs missed it etc) and catching a pass for Detroit's 2 PT conversion?  Lineman aren't allowed to handle the ball on a set play I didn't think.  Not to say that really makes a ton of sense, but it is the rule AFAIK.

    This is correct and why it had to be a “fumble”

    Why do I have the feeling that coach Riaola was told that if his nephew does not come to Nebraska, he should start looking for another job?

    Yep. You would definitely give him an extension and pay raise before it’s official if that was the case. SMDH

    I don’t feel like anyone here is fully appreciating my current meltdown. 
     

    EVERYONE SHOULD BE MELTING

    This is like the story about the old bull and the young bull. They came over a hill and saw a herd of cows. The young bull said “let’s run down there and breed one of them”.  To which the old bull replied “let’s walk down there and breed them all”

     

    Patience is a virtue young grasshopper.

    That's right, extra practices are just practices.

     

    Season is over and players have game tape to work off of.  They have 9 months too. 

     

    How is anybody going to get better with 15 more practices in December, when everybody knows it's just bulls#!t

    Hey man, maybe hold some opinions back and not just type out everything that comes to mind. You are on a roll recently and it’s not going as well as you think it is.

    First, that's not really a way to compare team talent.

     

    Second - which is a corollary to the first - you kept changing which teams you were comparing us to (other than Minnesota).  

     

    Third, since you're the one wanting to compare star rankings, on this year's roster (per the 247 Composite):

    • Nebraska has one five-star and 23 four-stars
    • Wisconsin has one five-star and 18 four-stars
    • Maryland has 0 five-stars and 16 four-stars
    • Purdue has 0 five-stars and 15 four-stars
    • Northwestern has 0 five-stars and 7 four-stars
    • Minnesota has 0 five-stars and 7 four-stars
    • Rutgers has 0 five-stars and 5 four-stars
    • Illinois has 0 five-stars and 6 four-stars

    So there isn't a huge talent difference between us and Wisconsin, but still noticable.  But Wisconsin wasn't one of the teams I listed as a "should beat".  I said toss-up, which looks close.

     

    Everyone else we have at least a 50% lead on, according to your metric.  A 300%-400% lead on some of them.

     

    Now I'll hang up and listen for you moving the goal posts.

    The 247 also gives Nebraska the 4th most talented roster in the conference and 21st in the country. Folks, fix the quarterback and this was/will be a good team.

    You are correct that the team had a lot of injuries on the offensive side of the ball.  
     

    I would like to ask this question though……. which replacement played much worse than the starter he replaces because of injury? 

     

    The issue isn’t that, the issue is you are limited in what you can do because you can’t get deeper into the offense as the guy who got the most reps with the 1s is out and it’s a new guy in there. It’s like treading water. 
     

    meanwhile, the stuff the new guy can run opposing DCs have figured out. It severely limits your adjustment ability

    Can we please stop using injuries as an excuse for piss poor performance. Every team has injuries. Iowa had injuries yet they found a way to kick our A$$ at our home again when we were playing for bowl eligibility. Football is a mindset. The packers found a way to beat the 8-2 Detroit lions because they came to the game with a mindset that winning the game was a must. Iowa came with a mindset to win 10 games and put us in our place and they did. We have a weak mindset because our coaches are weak minded. When you keep giving your team excuses for the loss, they will get comfortable with that. I do not see any fire in our players or coaches. They say the right things in pressers but they never back it up with action. Talk is cheap.

    Lol. You’re right. Football is a mindset. It’s always about the tough locker room guy who wants it more. JFC man. Get over that bulls#!t. Football at the level Nebraska plays at is about experienced talent. It’s not your high school team that played harder than others. 

     

    The injuries decimated the offense. An offense in its first year that had limited reps for people that weren’t starters, because install was new for everyone. They also didn’t have a QB worth a s#!t all year. 
     

    Im a Packer fan. Want to know why they suck this year?  Jordan Love is awful. They don’t have a QB either. 
     

    Common sense has completely left the majority of posters on this board. If you were too blind to see our flaws when we beat 5 terrible teams and actually believed we were going to win out then I have a great deal on a bridge in San Francisco I’d like to talk to you about.

    You say that but these kids get paid in tuition and now real money.  They get free adidas clothes and shoes as much as they want.  They have facilities that rival pros.  They (atleast many) expect to be treated like royalty    They can leave school and goto another anytime they want now.  I would argue they are pros , especially in the NIL era 

    But his point was there is no free agency or trades during the season. You have to play with what you have.
