The line for the most part were all mostly below average except for a few notable players. Cam Jergens and  Ezra Miller were good. Matt Sichterman Ethan Piper and most notably Nouredin Nouili were serviceable and then we have Bryce Benhart and Turner Cochran.

 

Benhart and Corcoran were without a doubt the absolute worst starting tackle tandem in the power 5 and possibly all of division 1 football. They were simply abysmal and yet they each recorded over 700 snaps last year.

 

Of the 159 QB pressures Nebraska gave up last season, 99 were by Benhart and Corcoran. The entire rest of the team gave up 60.

 

Of the 29 sacks given up, 11 were from Benhart and Corcoran. The rest of the team gave up 18.

 

Of the 37 offensive penalties 12 were from Corcoran and Benhart.  The rest of the team gave up 25. (Jergens gave  up 6 and Sichterman had 4). Only 10 offensive penalties all season were made by a player that didn't play on the olie.

 

 

The left side of LT Ezra Miller and LG Nouredin Nouili will actually be pretty good. 

I Would put Piper at Center and then start with Bando at RG Prochazka at RT going into spring camp.

 

But RT, RG and every backup position is open for a real battle. Those guys have the edge and it will be at least serviceable. If Raiola can get one or two of these highly ranked and underachieving guys to play like they were projected to play this line could be really good. It will upgrade significantly with better tackle play alone. And it's nearly impossible for them to be as bad as last year. You can't go lower than a 0 grade and that's what Corcoran graded out at as a pass blocker last season. A 0.

You would expect your tackles to give up the most qb pressures and sacks on your team. They face the other teams best pass rushers and most of the time one on one. I'm not saying they were good, they weren't, just not sure that those stats prove they were much worse than the rest of the line.

The HB website “refreshes “ mid-post often for me, erasing everything I just typed.   Anyone else with this issue?   

I have this issue on mobile, but not on desktop.

On a side note, I used to be able to view the desktop version on my phone, but now I can't find a place to switch over. I dislike the mobile version very much.

They're so beautiful when they go more than 7 yards and in the right direction.

I dislike that red turf. Many a bad day has been spent in Cheney.

1. The divisions are fine, the west is balanced. The east is top heavy and bad at the bottom. You could try to even them out but good teams are cyclical and who knows maybe Nebraska will be good again someday and it will be more even.

2. I think 9 conference games is good. I wouldn’t mind doing an SEC type cream puff weekend later in the year so teams can heal up.

3. I am a fan of bigger playoffs. I’m an alum of an FCS team so I like the 24 team format. 
 

4. It sucks when we lose, but I wouldn’t want to avoid OSU just for an inflated win total.

What a curious decision. I understand that Utah State won the conference this season, but it's not like they're head and shoulders better than Wyoming. I wonder if there was something else involved here. Did he just want out of Laramie or away from Bohl? Does he have a girlfriend who plays soccer at Utah State? Is he LDS? Maybe it's not any of these things and he feels that this is a step up for him and his future, but with the teams that Wyoming has had recently and the Josh Allen effect, this one is a surprise.

Saw this yesterday. I enjoyed it and thought it was a good fan service movie (not a criticism, I think they should do fan service). But definitely not my favorite MCU film.

Congrats @default_28 

Messed up week for fantasy points but you persevered.

 

I thought Id seen it all. All I needed was for Jarry to not play or to get the win and I would’ve been okay. But I didn’t account for him winning and butt ending a guy and taking a double minor. 4 pims on a goalie gave him -1 and cost me the game 

You’re a better sport than I would be. But I’ve learned a lot about what seems most fair in fantasy hockey scoring for the future. I’m really enjoying this league so far.

What's the deal with Jackson State? They're FCS but don't participate in the playoffs? Coach Prime could've had a shot at the FCS Natty 

The SWAC champion is contractually obligated to play in the Celebration bowl, so Jackson State and Prairie View were ineligible for the playoffs this year because they played the SWAC title game during the playoffs. But Florida A&M we’re able to go to the playoffs as an at large. As far as playing for a national championship, The SWAC stopped sending its champion to the playoffs because they hadn’t won a single playoff game in the past twenty years. And the team that went this year as an at large got blown out by a team that was pretty average and Jackson State barely squeaked by them in the regular season. So it’s unlikely that Jackson State would have won a playoff game had they participated this year. 
 

This signing though makes it look as though the winds may be changing for HBCUs going forward.

The chili used for Coney dogs, or Frito pie or Skyline spaghetti doesn't have beans.  That's why the beans are an added option to all of these foods.

Interesting, is it like chili flavored sloppy Joe consistency? Broader question, what makes a chili, a chili?

Places in Tulsa sell that also -  You can go into a Coney Islander and get a hot dog wt chili or a Chili frito pie, or a "3 way" with spaghetti, beans and chili

 Are the beans a different flavor than the chili? Are there beans in the chili and then more on the side? Why distinguish between the beans and chili?

Grew up in central Nebraska and have never tried nor had ever heard about it until recently. This thread is maybe one of the more informative on the board, now I know that you don’t smother the cinnamon roll in the chili which is what my brain assumed you must do. Will I try it at some point? I don’t know, I already like chili, but you all seem to really enjoy it that way. It is interesting to me that people that grew up with it think of it as quintessential Nebraska fare when I lived there 18 years without encountering it, must be one of those if you know, you know sort of things.

Why no FCS guys listed :-( 

Cameron Ward is on this list. I’m not sure what I’m missing.

Montana really wants this guy. I’m sure he has lots of FCS offers, but the Griz are hoping he wants free school over potential P5 play after a couple of walk-on years.

I think I drafted poorly. I should have looked closer at what actually gives you points. When Radko Gudas was drafted early I was very confused. Now I see that offensive d men will get you few points but guys that rack up hits will score a lot. May have to tinker with my defense some.

Well that was fast! I've never used this site, so dumb question here, but how do you set your roster?

Oops, never mind. See that we need to set the lineups for next week, got it. Good luck all!

If you move to week 4 you can adjust your roster

This is pretty cool. 3D rendering of the Stanley Cup if it had all the rings still on it. Goes through some history of the cup, winners, etc.

This is cool.

so glad that hockey is back.

We need four more. Let’s start recruiting.

When will we start this league?

If this happens, the Texas 3 are in trouble. And I can only assume they missed out because they decided they were going to stick together.

I’d love to try this out. I think I could commit to doing it justice.
