blinky

Last I checked, players being improperly paid didn't hurt Ohio State's recruiting.

Aren't you the landlord? Pretty sketchy...

I just forgot about the brother of the kicker Drew Brown.

 

But would it also be fair to say that the second generations usually don't live up to the shoes their father's wore.

 

I can't think of any professional athlete that actually was better then their father.

Ken Griffey Jr.

So will it be illegal to tackle a guy from behind? Or if a defensive end comes at a qb's blindside, should he tap him on the shoulder so he can be seen, and then hit him?

I think it's clear that the coaching is good, but we need better recruiting.

Pollack and Palmer were right all day long - Nebraska hung in there with slower, smaller and less talented players. Yes, there are a few playmakers on this team, but Georgia simply had more talent.

where is it clear that the coaching is good......if you had said mediocre ok but good?

Because the talent is clearly a step (or two) below Georgia, and, offensively at least, that lack of talent matched up very well for 3 quarters.

Most important game of the year will be the B1G Championship game. Legit chance of going undefeated before then.

Recruiting is a huge part of coaching, so although I see what you are saying, you can't say that they are good coaches with the poor recruting that they are accompishing.

Agreed. Should have been more specific.

Good game indeed. Can't complain too much as a Husker fan. Scored 31 (and could have been more) on a top 10 team and really were in control for 3 quarters.

Also, I'd love to have more guys like #36 on our team. Played fast, hard, and little dirty. Like Eric Martin in the secondary.

People need to get the idea that Nebraska is somehow superior to every other state out of their heads.

How is it that writers continue to get the B1G record wrong? Dienhart wrote 6-2, but it was 5-3.

The cleats and gloves look awesome. Maybe Adidas is finally getting creative with their designs.

I think they take a juco and the kid from des moines if he wants in. So two high schoolers and 1 juco.

Although I would love to have Wisnewski (sp?) I bet he ends up at Iowa.

You are entitled to your opinion, but I know plenty of people that would agree with me. If I'm wrong, I would be more than happy to eat my crow and say you were right.

Ehh as much as I hate to say it I bet he goes to Iowa.

I get what you mean about the disconnect with the kids being recruited nowadays. Probably very few outside of Nebraska that even know who he is. That the problem with recruiting now. Nobody remembers or cares about what we did 15-20 year's ago. But Jason can motivate.

that's not a problem with recruiting. Is it tougher for nu to recruit because of it? Maybe, maybe not.

 

And please give an example of how Jason peter can/could motivate these 18-22 year old young men. Showing videos of old football games doesn't work, they can do that on YouTube if they really feel like it.

honestly, i hope this sh#t blows over.......we don't need a controversial first year coach.

I disagree... to a point. I think we need a coach with the balls to say something, or more importantly, do something about what was a clear gap in speed and athletic ability at certain positions.

Good topic.

 

There will always be people that try to tear down and criticize. It's much more difficult to be proud and supportive during a tough time. Doesn't mean I'm happy that we got smoked, though.

 

We all stick together in all kinds of weather...

Go to the funeral. Espn3 will have the replay of the game. You can't watch a replay of a funeral.

This is ridiculous. Every fan, coach and armchair qb yells at the guy for not catching the ball. Enough. He knows he's supposed to catch it. He's not trying to drop passes. He works hard to fix it. Leave the guy alone.

 

Before everyone else starts nagging on him to catch the ball, you do it. If you can't - better yet if you haven't - stfu.

I agree I think they look awesome

Actually, I think the third, fourth and fifth ones are pretty sweet (in the above picture). They tried to get all their school colors in one uniform, and while a few of them are over the top, some are eye-popping awesome, IMO.

You know its been a long offseason when this is all we have left to talk about!

This was actually a pretty good story. I enjoyed it, anyway.

Yep. Scandal is clearly the focus of the headline, but the article is far from revealing or ground-breaking. Combine that with the fact that NU has the most prominent place in the picture while and you have some irresponsible journalism at work. I don't hate ESPN, but that was a strange combo and article.

It's Thursday now, so.......
