  1. I'd be fine with it. Then again, I'm always fine with any result, but boiling everything down into W's and L's does a disservice to how good a team is or can be. If we lose to OSU, Penn State and WIsconsin and they all end up in the top 10 at the end of the season, then we drop two nailbiters by less than a score each to a resurgent Top 25 Oregon team and a better Iowa or Northwestern squad, it happens. If that's the lame list, then what are we? We've lost to a lot of those teams. Every game we play with Northwestern is a nailbiter, Iowa has won 3 of the last 4, etc. What are we? A crappy 7-5 team. Look, the scenario you just gave would be a great 7-5 season for KU or Oregon St or Cal or Rutgers or Maryland or GT... But for NU it is not some great 7-5 season. It just isn't. "Every game is play with Northwestern is a nailbiter" Great...but those games should not be nailbiters. We made soooo much fun of NW and Iowa before joining the Big Ten...Now we are "okay" with close losses to them?
  2. The idea that 7 wins can be looked at as improvement ONLY makes sense if you are returning most of your team and especially at really important spots. Now...why some posters won't face a few simple facts is sort of funny and sad. If this team wins 6 or 7 games it will mean that it will have had to have lost some combonation of games that includes, most likely, these teams: OSU PSU Wisconsin Now, that leaves 2 or 3 more losses. Which means those 2 or 3 more losses will come from: NIU Oregon Iowa Purdue NW Minny Ark St Rutgers Illinois So, the "7 wins can show progress" crowd would really be okay with 5...3 from the "obvious" list and 2 more from the lame list? Stop it...just stop. Now, I can TOTALLY see Riley pulling a Riley...Losing to Oregon, Iowa, Wisconsin, Purdue and NW...but beating OSU and PSU and everyone creaming themselves.
  3. I get the hate for Texas but I also think it is pretty lame. If Nebraska had gotten everything it wanted we would be thrilled. It always works that way.
  4. He totally should have used special effects in his highlight video. Like the ball exploding when he kicked it or flames coming out of the back of the ball.
  5. I am still coaching, but I will never HC again, but I would love to hear some of your worst experiences coaching for those of you that have coached...I don't care the age or level. Coaching is coaching. I am sure ColoradoHusker can share some! I might even share some emails from crazy parents and assistant coaches.
  6. Boy have I said that a million times on here, thank you! Also, I bet Alamo is just a more than a bit happy about the "outrage" it only helps them. Oh...and your fiance wants to see it because for a lot of guys (not me) this is superhero porn.
  7. My buddy, a big Riley backer, says he is worried about a struggle to get 7-8 wins this year and a collapse in '18 resulting in Riley "retiring"
  8. Yeah...but were Schrieber and Miller intense when they whiffed? That is the important part.
  9. If you think this is the first time SM has tried weed you are more naive than me. This is the first time that we know of he has been caught. No one drives all the way to Florida and decides to buy weed one time. He has tried it before and as is usually the case it was probably a "friend". Stanley doesn't have the balls to say no but he certainly has the right to make whatever decision he wants. I've had friends tell me MJ was the most difficult drug to quit of everything they used. You are under the impression that I care how many times someone has smoked weed. Personally, I find soda a more deplorable choice. Well, that's certainly an odd opinion to hold. Oh no he didn't!
  10. Isn't that the offspring of a drinking fountain and a toilet? It's a drinking fountain for buttholes. I know what you must be into. Oh no he didn't!
  11. Exactly, we should not be calling people losers... Dudes, this is not the first time or the last that he smoked/bought weed. And even after his "punishment" which really shouldn't be anything at all he will go back to smoking...just like all the other dudes on the team. Put it into context...think if you lived in the dorms and got busted for booze/pot...you get "in trouble" take a class on booze/pot awareness, get yelled at by mom/dad...you promised not to do it again and next week you are doing it again. I know the classic response will be "Yeah, but the kid in the dorms isn't letting down his entire team" but honestly, the players don't look at it like that. You think that he had the pot in the car and Antonio Reed looked over at him from the passenger seat and said "Man, Stanley, I don't know about this, we have practice coming up in August, plus, if you smoke this stuff now, it might make it more difficult for you to catch a big pass on 3rd and 6 against Ark, State...I mean...we got a great chance to win 8 or 9 games this year...but only if you lay off this gateway drug"
  12. Zoogs, what would 21 grams of weed go for?

      Is this an odd time to ask if we should be paying our students-athletes with funds subsidized by the taxpayer?

      The article in the thread said he paid $100 for it.

      Surprise, surprise......the guy instilling knowledge on your kids knows. Smfh

  13. Well...it actually might make him more of a leader to some...
  14. Who is getting high tonight?!?!

  15. "police saw Morgan's Mazda sedan with Nebraska plates fail to come to a proper complete stop as it exited a 7-Eleven at 3:41 p.m on May 6th." Must have been a slow day for the police. How many of you goobers don't know or have never been in a 7-Eleven or a White Hen?
  16. I guess he didn't smoke enough of it to get it under 21 grams.
  17. There was a girl in there too! Split that 3 ways! They all walk!
  18. Wow. Sitting right there on the console. He's stupid for being so careless about it. And doubly stupid for admitting it. He should have said it was JP Morgan's bag Or else: Wait, wut? Didn't you see Randy Gregory take off running when we stopped the car?? He went thataway! Ha...nice!!
