@Enhance  Man, you should just close this thread. We all see how this will turn out; just a complete s**tfest. Opinions won't be changed no matter what happens. 

Sounds like every corner of the internet. Stones buddy

Hey friend, people are well within their rights to feel however they want to feel about him. Doesn't mean the same tired conversations need to be brought up time and again in the wrong forum.

I don't see much perceptible difference between the people bothered by Sanders and the people that are bothered by the people who are bothered by Sanders. Seems like they're all just bothered.

Stones pal. Stones.

I agree - the amount of people who have insisted about bringing him up on this board over, and over, and over again in the last 12 months is astounding.

He doesn't belong in the Husker football forum unless it's Colorado week. And if people really want to have a debate about whether or not they'd prefer him over Rhule, power to 'em - here's their feeding ground!

Hey pal don’t use the kings English to deflect. His success bothers many around here. A person with a decent set of stones wouldn’t be so bothered is all.

Against my better judgement, I didn't kill the thread, but I did move it out of the football forum. It should have never been in there in the first place. It's a low brow topic largely serving as a way for some people to self-gratify over Deion Sanders. It's also an irrelevant hypothetical.

So, if you want to keep discussing the topic, welcome to your new home!

It’s amazing how a man can have an entire fan base in a chokehold

we don't live in an alternate universe where we can trade rhule for sanders either but this thread is still here.

That’s true too but hypothetically alot of arguments can be true. Reality is what they’ve done is remarkable

i believe Nebraska would be 3-0 if we had Sanders at QB also

Well we don’t live in that alternate universe and we’re 1-2.

If Shaduer gets hurt they are screwed. The chinks in the armor are starting to show. Wheels will fall off the wagon next week. 

the fact that people think a P5 transfer portal roster is showing chinks says alot

I’ve wanted to find holes in the Coach Prime methodology.  I don’t like it, but the fact is it’s working.

 

I watched nearly all of their 3 games and I have new theory after yesterday.

 

Theres no doubt coach prime has improved Colorado, but he is not the major reason they are successful.  It’s the elite QB play of Shadeur.  He’s on a different level than just about everyone I’ve seen this year.

 

They are going to start losing games as the schedule gets tougher but that kid is special.  I believe prime would be struggling without his son at QB.

Isn't that what seasons are defines by? All of those "near wins" means nothing but a loss. Are you saying that Colorado's 3-0 start is not as good as the Huskers 1-2 start with its only win coming from a mid level Mac conference team? It is amazing how losing gets justified and it shows how your program has become used to close wins and less than mediocre performances. Is it jealousy that Prime is putting together something that Ruhl has not been able to? Once losing is OK and justified................

But I hear you and I think this fan base has gotten obsessed with weird narratives on failure and drinking the kool aid. Niu was a band aid a La tech isn’t any good so at least we have 2 weeks of decency upcoming. Rhule and co still need to figure a lot out.

I mean one team is winning winnable games and one team losing them. At the end of the day neither program is going to be defined on year 1 but what they’re doing is keeping the interest high which will highlight them in a higher caliber recruit. I think 90 percent of people outside of their fan base see the schedule and flaws on the roster and see it’s about to get steep but that doesn’t change the fact they’re showing competence in winning situations

Their lines are awful and Oregon is going to run roughshod on them. They can be at the center of the cfb universe for now but implosion is coming. What's crazy is if they didn't draw all the attention to themselves people would still be talking about their turnaround but wouldn't be waiting to see them get demolished. 6-6 is going to be a disappointment when it should be an accomplishment if they can even get to that. Their schedule is brutal.

Just because they’re getting attention worthy of a great team nobody is confused that they are flawed at almost every position group. People around here think wins and losses will define their season but this is one big “come to Colorado” advertisement. Prime even spoke about needing more talent all yesterday. 

People saying they needed double ot lol. Yup and it kept them right at the center of the college football universe

Well, I’m on an understanding of how college football works .    Because of the QB play, the team is 0-2.    Which is kinda the point of the recent discussion you have replied to.  
 

Switch each teams QB’s in both games and NU is 2-0.  That’s not really in dispute.   the Big Ten West sucks hence the talent is on the roster to reach an 8 win threshold with a competent QB.  

The best 3-9 team in history all over. I’m tired of winning mythical trophies.

While you are correct about the QB and being screwed unless Sims makes a historic turnaround in play, it doesn’t change the fact the rest of the talent on the team is capable of winning 8 games with this years schedule…..which is what the original comment was about.    
 

And I agree with you about the could/would/should  when it comes to winning and losing the actual games.  But this is a message board which is designed for could/would/should talk.  

8 games is a lot of wins for below average offensive tackles a couple retreads at WR Ty Robinson and corners that are suspect outside zone coverage

Oops. I was talking about passing attempts. Sims had 19 attempts both rushing and passing against Minnesota. He only had 10 rushing attempts against Colorado, as more touches went to the RBs. Point being we could lean into the running game more, but even Tom Osborne let his QBs pass 15 - 20 times a game to keep defenses honest, and they weren't great passers. Great play-action and safe routes made for good ypa and low interceptions despite their 50% completion rates.  

This is my hope going forward in the season. Less might be more as far as play calling.Triple action rpo with 15 designed qb runs and the occasional go ball. Just get our best athletes in space and hope for some yac in the pass game. The offense has some parts that don’t match but it’s time to settle in and find a serviceable identity. And please let the young lineman in on pass rush downs.

Funny that the best 7v7 program in the country is sponsored by Adidas.

Never said that was the most determining factor. You remember the time lebron was an adidas kid all the way until he took less money to sign with Nike as a rookie? And took 25 million less to sign with Nike over Reebok. The simple fact is Nike means more in the social circles of young people compared to other brands by a mile. 

It’s funny that the adults here are arguing brands from their perspective but that really matters to the younger generation. Nike and Jordan have lifestyle and tech lines that are literally the in style. Adidas has no clout no innovation of culture it’s literally a sportswear company. And don’t forget high schools and 7 on 7 teams start the brand recruiting early so some of these kids are lost before we even get a chance.

Please stop lol

It’s funny that the last decade majority of the fan base has felt the sky isn’t falling and we will figure it out. Hindsight is 20/20 and now we know the talent and operational process hasn’t been close. I’m not rooting against Rhule but I’m not giving his “builder” label justification based on a few winning seasons. The most alarming to me is he seems to say what the fan base wants to hear and at this point of constant failure he isn’t getting the patience that frost got so he better show some life fast. Attaching this season to Sims and our other incapable QBs is baffling considering he literally said he wished he went after an elite QB sooner in Carolina. I do like the explosive athletes he has recruited and it’s nice to see D lineman who actually do something. The future still might be decent but can he find a real QB and can he actually coach well enough to justify that salary I’m not betting on it
