Early on, too. Still pisses me off that they called that a foul. http://www.ebaumsworld.com/videos/some-of-the-hardest-football-hits-ever/85317937/

Are you writing a letter? First of all, thanks Nphusker12 for the update. Much appreciated. Decked, that was.......marginally snarky. Having said that, I laughed like a loon.

Sweet Jesus, that backfoot throw scares the snot outta me.

On Sharp and Benning this am they interviewed Brandon Reily (who knew he runs a 4.4 40?). After JC picked OSU at the Army All Star game, BR asked him why? Reily said that JC told him that he just wanted to see if NU really loved him. Can we be seeing a bit of this now? Who knows.....

I'm with Dewitz. Hire the best DC out there and then immediately fire his slacking ass. That'll send a message.

The new chancellor may fire Eichorst. If the sellout streak ends there will be consequences.Why would he fire Eichorst? How has Eichorst failed in his job?Well, he's fired two more successful coaches and endorsed two under-performing ones. So.....For some of us, it's always been about more than just the W/L columns. And you're smart enough to know that at least one of those coaches wasn't fired simply for his W/L record so why keep acting like he was? OMG. Steve Pederson agrees with you. Funny thing about Steve Pedersen, he wasn't fired because he hired Callahan. He was fired because he was an a-hole to work for and had the entire AD in disarray. (paraphrashing again.) To the bolded, you may want to revisit that time period. Okay, did that. Your point remains an enigma wrapped in a conundrum. Was Osborne the chancellor? Or was the chancellor brainless and did whatever the Representative told him to do? The chancellor was never a fav of mine, but I'll put his brains up against yours, mine and Zoogs (combined) any day of the week.

McBride's teams won conference championships, finished in the top 10 in final rankings, played for National Championships, and some of his defenses were top 10 defenses PRIOR to the change to the 4-3. Not apples to apples. Ya, either you weren't around in the 70s and 80s or you forgot or you chose to forget to mention it. When NU had big slow defenders and OU was burning us every year, and Charlie was in love with a 5-2 defense, Voices From the Grandstand were calling for his head. They sounded a lot like, well, you.

Yep. He exists to crap on this staff at every turn.....and there's his problem. I actually agree that the staff shares some of the blame regarding Gerry f'ing off his last semester. The staff SHOULD have someone monitoring every player's academic performance. That criticism is absolutely legitimate. Where TheSker and his compatriots go wrong (and they're too dense to realize it) is that they blame the staff in excess for everything that goes wrong......NG being the latest example of their excess. When they do that, it just makes it that much easier to ignore ANYTHING they say, even on those occasions when their posts have some merit. "Oh, it came from THAT guy? IGNORE" Most of us are not blind to the failings of this staff......I know I'm not. But I will not go into those failings just because the haters will take over a thread and beat it to death. Oh, and Cav gets one more year to prove he can get the job done. If not, "Read" his fanny to the curb. (Ya, I know I said I wouldn't say anything about the staff. Consider this a trap......)

Really? We need a hardcore Chancellor who will, at academic meetings, head butt other school's Chancellors and/or swear at them? Did I say that? The softness flowed from the top. Not sure what Green is like, but hopefully the next AD isn't as soft as the former coach described. Oh please. Read your friggin' post. The implication was clear and if you want to walk it back now at least be a man about it.

At the very least you're predictable. If you don't mind my interruption of the pity party, much thanks to Ryker Fyfe, Brandon R., Alonzo Moore and all the other seniors who did their best and fought. Missed the softness there but I'm confident you will find a way to inject it. Nate G., live with yourself. You gave your teammates the middle finger when they needed you most. Too bad that the current admin/staff had no repercussions for truant players. No argument here. If he was not attending classes most the semester the coaches deserve some of the blame. But ya know what, NG is a grown-ass man who knew what he was doing. Most of the blame goes on his head.

I realize that's your opinion, and you're entitled to it. But do you anything to back it up, or is this the second bottle of Ripple talking?

Trick question or did you have an answer?

I don't want to take a recruit who bangs a random girl while on a visit to another university?Are you gay mate? It's okay to tell us.Also the not wanting to take players who have had sex with girls before is a little too high and mighty for my liking. The mind boggles with remarks like this. Some schools in the SEC cheat like dogs......you okay with that or is it a little high and mighty for your liking.

Exactly my point. The John Parella home run was preceded by the Hank Hughes strike out. I would still like to know what transpired with the defensive line on the whole mass migration out of Nebraska. The only clue is what Greg McMullen said, and the fact that Banker and Hughes didn't even know he left until informed by the press: My point may not have been clear. I saw Hughes as a negative on the staff. When he left my opinion on the staff changed positively, I credit Riley for seeing a deficit and correcting it. Another plus (change in my attitude) for the staff.

.Including Hank Hughes? He's not on the staff.

Explain to me again this "cupboards were bare" legend. Three linemen (Collins, Valentine, and Gregory) that would have been seniors this year are good enough to play in the NFL. The other two defensive linemen that left were good enough to play or start on many teams and a third is starting at Nebraska now. Nebraska has the same starting quarterback in Tommy Armstrong (who Riley has now figured out). The starting running back (Newby) was in the cupboard. Westerkamp and Reilly are from the previous staff, as is Alonzo Moore. Combined with #15 below, I would say that's a pretty full cupboard at wide receiver. Riley's three deep tight ends are all from before, with Cethan Carter having a shot at the NFL. They also left the top punt returner in the nation (Pierson-El) here when Riley took over, although he's not getting many opportuniites now. Sam Foltz was one of the best punters in the country and would probably be heading to the NFL after his Senior year. Now, the offensive line had only Alex Lewis, who played "not very well" at Nebraska his last year but went to the NFL, so I don't know whether to put him in the plus or minus column. So most of the movers and shakers on offense in this now Top Ten team were ones "in the cupboard" when Riley rolled in from Oregon State. I guess this is how urban legends get started... Everything you said is spot-on. No quibbles. But, linebacker depth was awful. Offensive line depth, abysmal. I could mention place kick holders as well. None of that refutes that Bo built solid depth in RB, DB, (somewhat) defensive line (although misses in recruiting means that we will have a break between Maurice and everyone behind him......the Davis twins and Stolt are good, but no juniors? inexcusable!). For me the bottom line is the staff is home run from top to bottom except for some reservations about Read.

Ah,,..so everyone could be as right-minded and tolerant of divergent thought as you? Gotcha.

Looking good for a flip. Three CBs for NU in just a few minutes. http://247sports.com/PlayerInstitution/Alaric-Williams-at-Southside-Sch-60371/CurrentExpertPredictions

Did you like the product on the field last year? Sorry, but they are deserving of a little poop until they can prove they're better than a just over .500 (lifetime) coaching staff. I like the staff as people, and for being such great ambassadors, and have nothing but respect for the way they've held the team together during some really adverse times this past month, but not so much beyond that. Ya, I agree. Cuz the body of evidence at NU is SO vast only a homer could conclude anything else. Right?

Somehow the staff hasn't fully figured this out. Somehow I don't think you watched the UCLA game.

Good on the young man. Fry the perp. http://www.foxnews.com/us/2016/07/23/university-florida-linebacker-stops-sexual-assault.html

If he commits to NU the UCLA butthurt will be monumental. Looking forward to it.
