The Dude

Oxford Comma?  Is that one of the teams on Alabama's schedule?

I concur.

Nut to butt is an old military phrase. You may be unsurprised to find out it's used commonly in the submarine service.

Sorry @The Dude, let me rephrase that. Nobody anywhere (that anyone should listen to) has said that.

From the coverage I saw, most of the protesters were wearing masks, while being in crowds.  Of course, some weren't wearing masks.

Yes there are, we don't call them "sports" though. Usually more something like "brawl".

World Star!

I disagree with that.

I'm quite sure the type of student athletes the Big Ten (fourteen) recruits wouldn't be persuaded by shallow and demeaning accusations from coaches from lesser conferences!  

Yes, it will be used against us in recruiting. What isn't used that way? And it has already caused players to choose greener pastures, so yeah to that one as well.

I'm watching UT-WV now that GA-UK is over but was streaming both PSU-UM & Purdue-IA.  Purdue couldn't cover IA tight ends.  I like our chances against the Squawks.  Purdue put up some points and we should also.

So where’s Brohm gonna coach next year? USC or Louisville?

Is Brohm the Louisville grad?

So how long until they call the game? Then is it canceled or do they try to play it later?

global warming bro

Yes!

That's what January through April are for.

Keep in mind our players guaranteed that the UM game was going to be as bad as it gets.  I thought that was bold considering we still had to play OSU

I'm not too worried about them being mad. They just as easily could have doubts and the thought that if Purdue beat them then anyone could. I mean it still could get ugly for NU if our defense doesn't do a better job than they have all year but I'm not too worried about our offense being able to move the ball. I expect a high scoring shootout that will come down to whether or not we can make a few stops or get some turnovers. If we turn it over and can't stop them, then it might get ugly.

It's not relevant whether they're mad.  They scored 56+ points on us each of the last 3 times we played them and they weren't "mad" then. So what if they score 70 on us instead of 56?

No.

Just not impressed with bad excuses.

‘Twas delightful.

I'm not overly impressed.

@Moiraine according to one of the videos on Facebook, yes. 

So @The Dude which ones did you get?

@GSG 66% off is too good to pass up!!

@Redux Not fighting. Just disagreeing with your initial oversimplification. Then, you mentioned that Nebraska fades at the end of the year. From 0-6 to 4-1. I am pointing out Nebraska seems to be the team getting stronger over the season this year.

My responses seem obvious, so I am surprised you are giving any push back.

@Thanks_Tom RR I get what you're saying but I did not interpret what @Redux initially said as needing debunked. It seemed obvious that he was referring to the typical past and not to this season specifically. I don't think you guys are disagreeing, just maybe on a little different page.

I only read books in spanish.

@JJ Husker Not my old Buffalo Bills hat!  

Apparently Diaco is down in Baton Rouge telling Aranda how to run his D

No.

@teachercdand then it rained on the way to school and your pyramid was ruined. 

Hahahaha!

That did not happen...but I did probably eat like 100 of them.

I think that's a decent deal. If you want an idea of the material costs, I've used this lumber yard that specializes in decks: https://thedecksuperstoreportal.epicoranywhere.com/products.aspx?direction=desc&searchText=&pg=0&sort=Relevance

Just keep in mind that the labor does require some skill and knowledge. I've built a couple decks and it's a lot of work.

If so. AAF>NFL

I've seen players literally *kicked out of games* for much less in college football.

If the QB was named "Brady" the defender would have been banned from the NFL for life

The guy tried to get another 7 points on us with 2 seconds left of the half.  Style points is putting it lightly.

Absolutely they let up but they only beat us 10-7 in the 2nd half. You should watch it and pretend that's the whole game. But, you better block the on screen score and turn down down the volume. And just to be safe, get totally wasted before you start it and pretend tOSU gave a sh#t. You can pretend their substitutions are because the starters were struggling. It's almost a game if you follow these steps carefully.

Can’t blame him. That what good teams do. 

I echo what Mav and others said about Twitter being a news vehicle which is what I use it for in regards to quick news on sports/recruiting/etc.  I'm a heavy user of LinkedIn due to my job but even that is starting to get annoying..granted that's my own doing as I have lots of connections so my feed is going to be pretty clogged.  I've never signed up for FB but might have to for work purposes (making sure anyone my clients hire isn't a crazy person in private).

I still prefer the traditional newspaper, I'm one of those weirdos who gets a couple newspapers each day still.

I'm starting my own anti-social networking site.

...success is measured by how many you never friend, unfriend and ignore

That. Was. Awesome

Possible post of the week!!

You guys think he's going to buy in? Hard to say... /s

I think he's under the misconception that Frost will tailor the offense to what the line can do. If a guard can't pull they'll find a guard that can.

Well, I think it will be some of both. Sure they aren't going to scrap their offensive plan or delete big chunks of the play book but it does sound like they will run things to the strengths of the players they have and that they will endeavor to have the best guys on the field. So when it comes time for an OL to pull, I bet they're doing it with a  guy that can get the job done or they won't do it. That'll be quite a change from what we had under Riley or Pelini. No more square peg round hole BS.

BTW, I've never seen Farmer speak before. Very articulate kid. I like it.

I admit that I was a "rotate the linemen" guy with Cavanaugh.  Many of my comments was focused on keeping guys fresh, especially with the lack of fitness which plagued the Cav lines and Riley era.  I also wanted the line to play better, and thought a different approach to which Cav was using would improve the play.

Now with improved S&C, the "need" for rotating linemen may not be the same.  Plus, as Mavric pointed out, the 2nd team guys are getting more reps in practice, so in theory, they would be more ready to perform when needed.

The goalposts continue to move.  Nobody could have predicted that.  

I thought Cav needed to rotate the OL more. I also think Austin should rotate the OL more. Having said that, I'm fine with the OL coach doing what he thinks will give us the best chance to win.

I do not support changing the scheme at this time.  There are very successful teams in the Big Ten that run a 3-4.  I don't see how that's the problem.

Good linebacker play would do wonders. Watch Wisky, NW and Iowa. 

I am starting to doubt this highly dubious claim.

Couldn't have phrased it any better, pretty much poetry.
