Prison officials have been doing preliminary research into how firing squads carry out executions in other states, but are not sure how long it will take to have one in place in South Carolina. 

 

Good God. What could go wrong?

 

It’s been my opinion that legislators voting for and governors signing off on capital punishment methods should be required to personally witness the next one in person.  If it really is “justice “ vs state sponsored revenge,  then they should have no problem with it.   

Only the governor?  They should make executions pay-per-view events.  Preferably using the guillotine.

Here’s my Top 5 of who I think are the most important guys to the team—that is, the key players for us having a successful year. (Note: Their years (jr., sr. etc.) are the same as last year due to the Covid waiver.) 

1.  QB Adrian  Martinez, Jr.:  Duh. 

2.  CB Cam Taylor-Britt, Jr.:  Best coverage guy we got.

3.  OLB  JoJo Domann, RS Sr.:  Hardest hitting guy on the team, and team leader for tackles.  He’s gonna knock some heads this year.

4.  C Cam Jurgens, RS Soph:  Fourth year in the program.  He masters the center position this year.  He’s the bell cow of the O-line. 

5.  PK & KO Connor Culp, Grad Transfer: Kicker with a big leg, and one of the most important guys on the team.  A lot of Husker fans don’t even know his name.  They will.

Wow.  We have almost no RB production back from last season.  Less than 100 yards.  Yikes!

Hutmacher is pretty big and strong but he’s not very athletic. 

That's surprising considering he was one of the best heavyweight hs wrestlers in the nation. 

Then again, I've not seen any fb film or clips of him since he stepped on campus.  

Bowl game. 

Or no bowl but we beat Meechicken so bad that Jim Harbaugh gets tarred and feathered shortly after their plane lands in Ann Arbor.

At the end of the day, I haven't figured out if it's impressive or scary that a kid from southwest Nebraska that played  8 man class D football is one of if not the best athlete in terms of the strength and conditioning tests on the team.     

This made me wonder.  So I looked it up.  Turns out there are a LOT of kids playing 8-man football in Nebr.  (Granted, larger schools (class A) have much larger teams than smaller schools (e.g., D1, D2, 8-man).  That, and the average class A player is a lot better than the average 8-man player.  Still, the numbers: 

There are 109 8-man FB teams in Nebr.  By comparison: A=31 teams; B=25; C1=43; C2=32; D1=52; D2=57. link

On the topic of necro coaching reactions ...     (actioin starts at about 0:40 seconds.)

It starts getting interesting at about 8:00.  

What, no guillotine option?  

I think I'd go for the firing squad.  Electric chair and lethal injection both sound pretty gruesome.

Ha ha!  I actually do think we'll be a lot better this year.  It's just that, for the past three years I've been like Charlie Brown trying to kick that football:  This is the year, I tell you.  This is the year!
