      The Colorado HS group that controls sports, chaasa, has rules that prevent any conflict. My daughter plays both, no problem at all. And, she wouldn't be near the player she is without club ball. The high school season is a letdown to be honest. Short, worse coaching, players are not as good, etc.

    3. JJ Husker

      JJ Husker

      There is no picking between the 2 because it is impossible for them to conflict or to play at the same time. Without those rules though, I can see where it could be a big mess. Can't believe that is allowed to go on.

      Yeah, it is a big thing in a lot of places because "select sports" make big dollars so they gotta keep the kids they have.

  3. Is it troubling that we have had to practice our QB's inside bc of the wind the last 2 practices and that is the same wind we usually play in towards the end of the season. I know it is just practice and you want to get good work in but that is what we are building our offense around.

      I'm just saying that there are plenty of things we could be working on, execution-wise, that have nothing to do with the wind. There isn't a reason to squander practice time fighting it at this point.

    3. JJ Husker

      JJ Husker

      Personally I would like to see them execute without wind first......then we can worry about these other possible eventualities. Anyway, if it's that windy, it might be time to lean on an effective run game.

    4. commando

      everyone freaks out that nebraska threw 48 passes against purdue in that wind. but no one remembers that purdue threw the ball 43 times in that same wind. and they were winning (sometimes by huge margins)

      Teach. The new staff told him the scholarship was still good to go and met with him about his future. Coaching changes happen but they should have been upfront with the kid when the staff changed.

      I think this just highlights in general how the enterprie of CFB -- coaches, fans, etc -- are *not* necessarily looking out for the kid. Often the interests overlap. Sometimes they come into serious conflict.

      Hmmm. Do I even need to read the article? Somebody who liked Bo Pelini doesn't think Riley is the man for the Nebraska job. Surprise, surprise. Look around this board, we got plenty of clones.

  10. Looking to maybe add a Center Grad transfer from South Bama. Looks like a good prospect and would be able to shore up a spot immediately. Was 1st team all sun belt and up on the rimington watch list.

  11. Wow! The 3 BTN guys predicted us to beat fresno by 3, 4 or 11 points. They are expecting it to be a tougher game than husker nation. They must have not liked what they saw at practice that 1 day.

      Boy Pelini used to tear him a new one usually caught on camera of course. He seemed lost as a DC here. He was just cutting his teeth as a coordinator though I realize that. Will be interesting to see what happens for him there. I wish him well.

      We ran a speed option that TA was trying to check out of and #5 clapped and TA about fumbled the ball. We got stuffed and he was upset at the official bc it was blatanly obvious.

    3. The Maudfather

      The Maudfather

      I'm at the point where I don't even care anymore. You know the risk you take whenever you use a clap as a cadence. We learned that the hard way against MSU, but to come out and bitch about it again is just silly. Adjust. Change the f'ing cadence.

    4. swmohusker

      swmohusker

      It is not whining. It is a rule which is the referees job to enforce. A defender cant just start yelling a cadence out or he will get flagged. Same should be for clapping right in front of the officials before a snap. Someone needs to eat a snickers and chillax.

  14. It is 1:00 and Memphis Louisville isn't even at halftime. What channel will nebraska be on until this game ends. ESPN news?

      Suspensions haven't been announced, although it is highly speculated that Rose-Ivey is one of those suspended.

    4. ScottyIce

      ScottyIce

      If he is indeed suspended, I'm just really satisfied it's not for something minor like starting a brawl on National TV. That would seem irrational.

  17. What if we land in the Foster Bowl against UCLA? It would be a great bowl, but also would be a good chance we drop to 5-8.

      That would be awesome. At this point, our record is bad either way. The only utility a bowl has is how much it can help these players grow. The better the opponent, the better the opportunity.

      No way Chip Kelly would come here as OC when he can have a head coaching job anywhere. And while he's not doing well in the NFL that doesn't mean he won't do well in college. Nick Saban comes to mind as an example...

      Chip Kelly's ego is WAY too big to get hired as an OC. I feel like he'll take his talents back to the NCAA.

      He started for most of last season too. As I wrote somewhere, he has lost his confidence. If he doesn't get it back pronto, he's toast.

    4. JJ Husker

      JJ Husker

      A few things. He apparently was the best we had last year. The coaches are aware now for sure of the problems he has been having. They have shown that they will pull him if needed. I think they will most likely be quicker to pull that trigger now so I don't really have a problem with him starting. They see every practice. What I have a problem with is that apparently there is no one on the roster obviously better to put in that position.
