In the Deed the Glory

I’ve seen more from Grant and Allen in 2 games than I have any of the other backs. Make people miss, hit the hole hard, finish moving forward, and Grant isn’t afraid to sacrifice his body on pass pro. 
 

It’s super early but Grant has all the makings of being the best back since Ameer. The fact Frost is begging for RJ makes zero sense.

I think it'll take more than that. He's gonna want Saban/Brian Kelly $$

Them give it to him, and be happy to have the opportunity

I wasn't sold on this defensive staff not having turnover last year, personally.

 

Last year, they had Jojo, who covered up a ton of mistakes from others.  Ain't got that eraser this year, so all blemishes are in full effect.

A lot is asked of the ILB in this defense and when the DL is getting killed all game it really hangs them out to dry.

Whip didn't like Narduzzi, Nebraska offered more money, Micky was let go at LSU and is being paid well to be here. Both signed 2 year contracts. They getting paid either way next year. Neither will be a head coach here.

True, but MJ’s recruiting ability along with BB will give them a good shot with the next coach. 

The amount of people on this board that think they understand football because “that’s how we did it in the 80s and 90s” is mind numbing. 
 

“iF yOu LiNeUp iN ShOtGuN iT Is a pAsS PlAy”

Stupid. If you can’t understand RPO and spread schemes because “that’s not how we used to do it” stop commenting because your antiquated idea of football is irrelevant. 
 

Grow up Peter Pan, Count Chocula. 

A season of close losses stemming from mental mistakes usually means they very good talent was coached poorly.

No clue, but I think the B1G has been negotiating behind closed doors and looking to grab onto NBC.  With hopes for ND to join USC & UCLA.

 

The conference would have the big ten network and NBC for games.

 

ESPN is out after 40 years of our games (including ABC).

Fox has rights to 22 pac-12 games a year.  USC & UCLA left that conference.

CBS has SEC games (and SEC Network) plus Army/Navy.

ESPN and Fox might to do something to show ACC games, Big 12 games, Pac 12 games, and Memphis vs Houston type games.

 

I'm just guessing

SEC Network owned by ABC/ESPN

Does anyone know a single person that is going to this game?

Yes. Mom/Dad/Grandfather (he is 83!)

Easiest way to improve our talent is to give the head coach the power to make coaching hiring and firing decisions for the state high school coaches. Put coaches in those positions that steer players to the program, not away from it. Then get the high schools running Nebraska's most often used plays and being taught the Nebraska defensive style and offensive line blocking methods.

 

 

The population is not large so you need every in state kid being interested in going to the program and already have a basic understanding of the playboook and terminology.

What?!? This is insane.

1. Notre Dame

2. Oregon

3. Washington

4. Stanford

This is most likely. Stanford only in if Notre Dame is.

Too bad A&M is taken. We could use a team from Florida and some have mentioned Miami. I would like Florida. Miami is probably a reasonable second option.

Lol. Florida is not leaving the SEC. Nobody is leaving the SEC

Still lots of Husker fans who bet on Neb.  And probably will unless the season starts ugly.  

Yep. And if you want to make money. Fade the public on the Huskers.

Our coaches evaluation techniques have been incredibly under whelming, their hit ratio is beyond terrible.  The record shows that, and no we weren't better then our record. 

Ok. What about all the other programs that wanted him?  They all underwhelming evaluators as well?

Some media guys did some digging on NIL around the B1G.  They found that Nebraska is significantly ahead of everyone not named Ohio State.

 

Ohio State is more than likely the top dog.

Nebraska said to be easily #2.

Even Michigan doesn't have much.  They've helped a few of their best players (including  Hunter Dickinson) but nothing comprehensive.

Wisconsin barely has anything.

Iowa barely has "pizza money".

Purdue has nothing.

 

So Nebraska might be behind the top few in the entire country but is well ahead of the vast majority.

I just can't believe this...several people on Huskerboard have stated the complete opposite. lol

Playing devil's advocate here, but that could just mean we were ahead in an NIL offer for Thompson specifically.  Texas probably didn't offer much with Ewers on board.

“First of, when I got here I found out that, like 17 or 18 different football players had vehicles,” Thompson said. “That’s unheard of. At Texas, it was me, Bijan Robinson, and one defensive starter. Three guys.”

……He isn’t talking specifically about himself…..

Exactly. Of course NU is better for NIL for Casey Thompson than Texas- they went out and signed another QB to take his spot. 

Nope. Not exactly. The quote literally said we have way more guys that have vehicles and apartments than Texas. Did you read the quote, or did you just assume you knew something?

The fact that people on here are arguing with a player that just made a decision largely based on what he could earn is baffling. I’m not going to believe some random guy on the internet over the new starting QB who has said MULTIPLE times that we are ahead of Texas. You know, the school with the deepest pockets in the country. 

My God @84HuskerLaw how damn long does it take you to type a post. Like did you start the day before?  For f#&%s sake.

@admoI know you're talking about more recently but the Bears have one of the best win percentages historically and the Lions are....bad.   The Bears went to a SB this millennium also.

Why would Nebraska one of the winningest programs and biggest fanbases in the country switch from Adidas where we are given tier 1 AAA status to go join the rest of the morons who are wearing cheap ugly Nike gear made by poor sweatshop workers? When no matter how big your fanbase is or how much you win and how many titles you have are always going to be second status to an Oregon program that has litterally never done a single legitimately impressive or noteworthy thing in the history of the sport.

 

Expecially when Nebraska has the best contract of anyone nationally not named Oregon. Based on the last articles I can find we have the 2nd best active Adidas contract behind Louisville and the 2nd best deal in the Big Ten behind Ohio States Nike deal. I dont know if those are current but I do know we're near the top of whatever the current numbers are. Because what Nebraska has that makes our deal better than any program in the entire country and why there's not a chance in hell we are walking away from it is that Nebraska has a favored nation's clause with Adidas. Noone else has one. Basically Nebraska can review the deal at certain points and if Adidas doesn't have Nebraska's deal in the same range as its other top deals Nebraska can give Adidas the opportunity to adjust Nebraska's deal to be in that range and they are legally required to make a good faith offer in that range. If they don't or Nebraska just doesn't like the deal Nebraska can simply terminate the deal. Meaning that while other schools are stuck in their contract no matter what deals are made after it is signed for the length of the deal, Nebraska is guaranteed to always be among the top few biggest deals. Guaranteed and this clause can't be revoked even under new contract language as long as Nebraska doesn't sign elsewhere.

 

Nebraska also serves host to the Adidas OL DL pipeline camp where Adidas brings in and hosts the top senior and juco players in the country in Lincoln for Nebraska to evaluate and basically get a free visit for a bunch of top linemen to come see campus, see the facilities and meet the coaches that doesn't count as their official visit to Nebraska.

 

There's no chance at all that Nebraska is giving that deal up. Likely ever. 

Well, we can probably lock this thread up forever after that post.
