The Dude

Ah the Callahan era.  Now known as the good old days. 

Oh, to make the occasional bowl game again.

Wouldn't that be Bump Novacek?  He was a decathlete.  I played against him in HS.

Bump was my neighbor when I was a kid.  Bit of a douchebag.

Jay was always cool though.

Lord of the Rings is easily the best movie ever made.  The book is not even close to the best book ever written.  The book is still way better than the movie.  It do be like that sometimes. 

In both cases, there was no need to chop it up into three parts.  That's my only complaint with either.

Extremely clever to downsize while doing renovations lol

How much money is too much money to preserve a phoney sellout streak?

Sims goofed up on the one snap he was given.  Nothing more needs to be seen.

Rhule would (still) be crazy to go with Sims.

Haarberg has earned the starting position fair and square.  I don't think we'll beat Michigan no matter who starts at QB.  With Haarberg there's at least a slight chance we won't get boatraced.  I think our defense actually matches up well against Michigan's offense.

Nebraska sent blitzes pretty often today. I thought La Tech did a decent job of getting the ball out quickly and finding openings in the defense, particularly when Nebraska rushed 5 or more. Nebraska just wasn't getting good pressure or getting off blocks.

Yeah it can be kind of tricky to get pressure against those air raid offenses sometimes.

I bet we sack the Michigan QB at least once or twice even though they don't pass much and have a much better offensive line than LA Tech.

We're going to need another I-back.  We can say I-back again.

I can't tell if this is just a Hawkeye fan in disguise.  Defense was awful today.

I'll take 14 points awful over 45 points awful.  There's no question the program is in much better hands than it ever was under Frost.

Jusssssst a bit outside.

Do you give riola one more year?? Frost didn’t let him coach his style? Still seems like there was no improvement no matter what you were coaching.. 

I wouldn't give him another game.

I know I'm joining this discussion very late, but I've never liked kiss (I don't even have enough respect for them to use capital letters).  If it weren't for the pyro & makeup no one would know them at all.  I give them credit for finding a gimmick to appeal to teenage boys, but they suck in all things music.  If you held a gun to my head and told me to play a kiss song or die, I'd probably play Beth or choose death.

 

Def Leppard was great through Pyromania, Histeria was OK and everything after that sucked.  They are my SO's favorite band, so I get to see them every time they come near Omaha.

 

AC/DC's best songs are with Bon Scott.  Back in Black is a great album, but most of the Brian Johnson stuff is OK at best.

 

When I was running track/cross country in college I always used a mix of hard rock/metal/rap to get myself psyched up.  Only song I can remember being on the play list was Anthrax/PE - Bring the Noise.

I think I agree with every word.  I was subjected to Kiss for basically the same reason.  Aggressively bad music.  I don't mind the gimmick though.  Detroit Rock City was a fun movie.

I haven't hear the old Def Leppard but I've heard the same opinion a hundred times so I believe it.

Got The Time was always my favorite older Anthrax song.  I mostly like the stuff they did with the Armored Saint singer.

I love how pumped everyone gets about the one-armed drummer. 

It's cool he's a one-armed drummer and all, but he's not that good at it.  Like, most decent drummers can play with one hand better than that.  And they don't get near the practice.

Interesting, I had always felt that there were a few "rock" bands that no one "hated", not saying you hate them but you get the idea...I don't mean they were loved by all, I just mean that they were not hated.

 

Guns N Roses

Def Leppard

KISS

AC/DC

Rolling Stones

I always filed Def Leppard away with all the other crappy hair metal acts of the time.  

Haarberg should be the unambiguous starter since he earned it.  

That's not to say Sims couldn't earn it back, but don't you have to go with the guy who earned it?

That's horrible news.   Just when I was starting to feel a bit of optimism about the running game.  This offense just cannot catch a break.  I would withold judgment on Satterfield this season.  It's going to be bad, and it's not all his fault.

Emmett "Mr. Football" Johnson, come on down.

Considering this time last year we were being beat by teams like Northwestern and freaking Georgia Southern and going life and death with North Dakota,  it's insane people are taking a dominant victory over any team for granted.  Let alone one that upset Boston College.   

Sims turnover problem has nothing to do with the level of competition.  He quite literally cannot be trusted to take shotgun snaps.  The guy is a complete liability.  Sims was far from being the cemented starter after the Colorado game.   He's even farther now.

Sims is the more talented QB of the two, period. Yes, he needs to make better decisions overall, but Sims has a better chance at winning in the Big Ten -- HH just isn't talented enough.

Depends on what's meant by talent.  Doesn't matter if you have athletic talent for days if you don't have the skillset to manage a football game at a 7th grade level.

Haarberg easily gives this football team the best chance to win, it shouldn't even be a difficult decision for Rhule.

The good news is Sims can now focus on a few packages just for him instead of trying to command the entire offense, which is far beyond his ability level.

Because we give up 11 instead?

How ya gonna give up a 2 point conversion in garbage time?  There in found something to complain about. 

Rhule would be crazy to go with Sims.

  I don't know what I was expecting, but it wasn't that.

  Why don't we just win every game 35-3?

We're beating NIU comfortably.  With Sims we'd probably be losing.  

Haarberg is easily the best QB on the roster.  One seriously has to question Rhule's ability to evaluate talent.
