    Best Win of the Pelini Era

    in Husker Football

    Posted

    My favorite win of the Pelini era (maybe not his best, but) was the 2014 win over Georgia in the Gator Bowl. When you live in the South, you are constantly hammered with SEC talk. The 99 yard Armstrong pass to Q was just fantastic. I can’t begin to tell you how satisfying that win was!

    Bob Diaco - New Defensive Coordinator

    I am ok with paying over $1M but never for Diaco. If it was Venables or Aranda I would as they have consistenly shown results. Diaco had one strong year and the rest was mediocre or worse.
    People you've mentioned already make north of a million on proven teams. Why would they leave. You've got to be realistic.

    I get that and am the one to originally post their salaries, but they are making that much because they have consistently (keyword here) delivered great results. Diaco is nowhere near their level and would not deserve 7 figures

     

    It's not about what you deserve, it's about what the market dictates and it appears that the market for Diaco is $1mm+

     

    Paying elite money for an elite coach is the best money a program could ever spend. But, paying elite money for a mediocre coach is the biggest waste.

    Iowa Hate Week - Please post to show your love

    An Iowa fan walks into the doctor's office one day with a hat on. He takes off his hat, and the doctor sees that there is a big frog sitting right on top of his head. The doctor looks at the man and asks him why he has a frog sitting on his head. It was the frog who replied "Actually doc, I was the one who wanted to see you. Can you remove this wart off my butt?"

    Derrion Grim leaving

    From what I am reading, it sounds like he just didn't fit in. I remember watching a video of Westerkamp and him calling "Cherry" a "weird little kid". The "this is camp" talk is pretty telling, and the 2 goodbye tweets I saw were from other Freshmen. I hate to see a young man with his talent leave the program, but at least WR is a position where his departure will hurt little, if any.

     

    Best of luck in the future Derrion and thanks for giving DONU a shot!

    WOW! I guess those who said don't mistake niceness for weakness were correct. I am shocked, but pleased.

     

    We need a great recruiter and great teacher. If that means a man in house, a former Blackshirt great (Wistrom, Carriker, etc.), or whoever... go get them Riley!

    The Backwards Plan at RB

    Well, since we play Wisconsin on Saturday... does anyone believe Riley might pull the redshirt off of a certain freshman running back?

     

    If Stevenson wasn't good enough to get reps against the first 5 opponents, I doubt he puts him in against the #14 rushing defense.

    Mike Riley, if you are reading my posts... pulling the redshirt off of Jordan was sarcasm!! LOL

     

    However, I guess it was the logical progression as outlined in the original post. Twilight zone stuff.

    B1G Rivals?

    We were having this discussion around the dinner table last night, and I was curious what the board thought. As a hypothetical; say Nebraska goes 7-5 but beats Wisconsin and Iowa. How would those wins factor into your overall view of the season?

     

    For me (I witnessed the B1G Championship massacre in Indy), the Wisconsin game has become very important... perhaps even a "season saver".
