Newsome a bigger blow on ST than CB as is. Need to get Nadab Joseph. 
 

 

Nixon another blow for in the WR room. Need to keep Wan’Dale at WR only/gadget plays in space out the backfield to lessen the beating on him. It’s hard to see us fielding a good WR core with the limited depth that we have. 

I wonder if we will see a situation where a school will cancel the football season, those players will be given a free transfer option and we might be able to fix the WR position if something goofy like that were to happen.

Whoa Whoa whoa.. Since when are facts acceptable forms of argument around these parts?

This one really sucks. He easily could have been the team leader but something is up here it feels like.

With how he left Wisconsin, i wonder if this kid just needs some help or if other things are going on.

This one caught me off guard and super bummer. He would have been one of our top guys.

Hoiberg has been busy getting offers out like crazy to 2022 prospects.

I am going to make a guess that is almost certainly wrong, but based on some recent tweeting from some of the current commits...

Fidone. 

Call it wishful thinking. 

I hate Barstool sports mainly because of Dave Portnoy being scum but I like Big Cat and have been watching this coach Duggs thing.

Reminds me when 1620 did the ABC tournament on NCAA football and found myself actually enjoying that.

Barstool is making a killing off of this thing with shirts and NCAA teams are so desperate a lot are tweeting about it. Its crazy to see how this has taken off.

I can't tell if he's being sarcastic or not - but if not, he is wrong. There could absolutely be silver linings here, but it is not a "total blessing" in any sense. There would've been more than enough opportunities for young guys with Spielman as the only legitimate returning threat, the cost of opportunities for young players is proven production from experienced ones. Losing him swings us way past the sweet spot in balancing those, IMO.

 

He isnt mocking the rationale husker fan.. He is mocking the homers and there are plenty. 

He isnt wrong that plenty will only try to spin everything.

Holy crap. I unfollowed Dirk a while ago and frankly haven't thought about him in months. This got popped into my twitter timeline and wow does this guy love to rake the muck.

 

 

He isnt wrong. He has turned into the curve that Nebraska fans wont like him regardless of what he writes, so I think he writes stuff to get some attention.

I heard he was going back to playing lacrosse

I know he really loved lacrosse and was all set to play it at the next level but couldnt pass up on Football when he got a few decent offers.

Spielman seems like a kid who maybe doesnt always speak up for himself until later on. It might come off as in-decision but I just think that might be him. It seems like him/Frost just werent a fit.

I think if he can show he is going through some stuff, he could get a waiver at Minnesota. Or, he can always go for NDSU-- High level QB playing there.

Yesterday, the prosecutor said, ""My job in the end is to prove he violated a criminal statute. And there is other evidence that does not support a criminal charge."

 

Today, the same prosecutor charged third-degree murder.

 

It looks something woke up somebody.

Some of the rumor mill is that cause of death might be something else--although I dont know how anyone could say the officers actions didnt cause whatever caused death.

My guess is Gov. Walz made him speed things up. Even with murder charges, I still suspect major issues this weekend with looting.

Wait, is this for real? They knew each other?

This claims that while they worked at the same place, they might not have known each other. 

I wish I had words for this but I dont.

Definitely more research put into this than the normal previews, actually knows a lot about who is expected to contribute among the newcomers. A couple things I disagree with here and there - I don't think our ILBs were pretty good last year, I'm really not concerned with the DL since there's a good mix of experience and young talent. But seems pretty fair, a lot of times these are pretty ridiculous but they make good points about the teams being different by the end of the year and the potential for the offense to take off.

 

I don't see 10-2 for Minny this year, but I definitely didn't see 11-2 last year so who knows. I'm really curious about their defense, they lose a lot. It's one of those things though where a Minnesota fan can point to a bunch of talented guys we haven't seen yet, and non-Minnesota fans can point out we have no idea how good they are. I expect fairly significant regression, but maybe the Fleck train is just rolling.

I dont like PJ Fleck but he has already built something that makes me nervous.... He is also losing a lot of VERY talented players that saved his butt. Antoine Winfield basically saved them twice last year. They almost lost to Fresno State and South Dakota State.

He was a huge savior for them. They also lose Coughlin and Martin who were high level guys on the LB/DE space.

PJ is getting strong recruits right and left and he has enough hype built up that the fans might actually support.\

That all being said, I still think there record was a bit of a mirage. Dont get me wrong, they were a VERY good team last year but Iowa/Wisconsin showed where they can be beat.

If Fleck sticks around, I see them being a team that is very steady and then has big years every couple years when the stars align. Fleck has all the guys buying in and that is not good for the Huskers.

If they dont test weed anymore, he should be fine.

I am confused. One minute I feel like he is out then back in then out then back in.

Here is my take on Cam. I think he is a passionate dude who lets himself wander. I think Fred is being really tough on guys like him to try and right the ship now.... It seems like Cam and others understand they screwed up but still hard to not feel like you are getting big punishment for little things.

Fred is flipping the culture. Holding guys accountable. 

If Cam comes back, I hope he fully buys in and that will help him on the court.

Hopefully Cam realizes Fred is trying to set him up for a better life, regardless of basketball.

Becoming an adult and maturing is not always an easy process.

Some of the idiots who feel the need to respond just baffle me.

I am not saying I agree with all of Cam's choices but feeling like you need to take a shot at a kid... Jeeeezus..

BE BETTER.

Right now we have no scholarships available assuming Allen, King & Mayen actually sign.  I think everyone assumes Burke is gone, so that's one.  Mack would be two.  I'd say there's an outside chance Green leaves, but I don't see anyone else leaving (right now anyway).

Here are the names of players I would say are potentially gone:

Burke- pretty much gone in my eyes

Mack- I think he is probably gone but who knows

Green- I had him as my most likely to leave, not sure if he sticks around now that others are going.

Cross- Some have speculated/ I think he stays and hope he does

Thor- Does he want to go play pro overseas? I dont think he will yet. I assume he is back one more year.

Easily- Heard this mentioned if he thinks he can get a perm scholarship elsewhere but I dont see it. I think he sticks it out.

My guess is we lose 3 guys- Burke, Mack and Green. Losing Mack sucks but I think Fred has plenty of irons in the fire with other point guards.

I honestly am not sure what to say anymore.... 

I am a bit surprised that Frost was cool with it.

sounds like he’s gone

Sad to see him go. He showed moments but again, if you cant get on board....

I also think he had always sort of wanted out and was pushing to graduate early so he could go elsewhere.

Can I sign up for more ads to not see any more. .1 posts?

I dont know, I kind of like his tenacity.

So many of the trolls here just give up after they get blocked ... He just keeps coming back with obvious names, posts Bo Pelini-esque rants, gets blocked and comes back for more.

Now-a-days trolls quit too easily.

This season just needs to end and we need to start looking forward to next year. 

While this season has sucked, I have seen flashes that give me hope/excitement.

They run plays that work. They have a few guys who seem to be pretty talented but lack depth. Cam Mack is a really good player who just doesnt have the talent around him. This team will look VERY different next year in some senses but concern is still around Hoibergs small guy lineup in the rough B1G. 

That being said, I think future teams will run a lot more which should help with lack of size. 

Adding some talented guys like Walker, Banton, Stevenson, Allen and King should make a major difference.

What do you enjoy about your current healthcare that you wouldn't get under M4A?

 

I like my doctors, and they all take Medicare.  I would assume they still would.  But I think I'd actually like my choices "better" with M4A because I wouldn't have to go across town to see a doctor within my network...

My fear is more that  it will create lesser care/longer lines-- Some of it might just be fear of the unknown but my current plan allows me to go to plenty of doctors and the coverage is good for my family.

I just think going to the way extreme with healthcare reform could create a lot more issues than we know. Would prefer a gradual change.
