  1. Taylor Hall is a tool, but that hit was clean. He shouldnt have to answer for a fluke injury like that. It was bad luck but the hit was clean. We will never know intent.
  2. I am trying to find a middle ground between debbie downer and Kool-aid drinker. I think Frost has finally acted like someone whose butt is red hot. He has added some great talent and if this doesnt work, I feel good in moving on because he was given a fair shot. That being said, nothing SF has done has given me much hope in his ability as a coach. He makes some really bad in-game decisions that just make me think he is in over his head. Part of me is ok if we fall on our face this year because then we get to hit reset. Part of me hopes that a strong OC gives SF a chance to focus elsewhere and be a true HC and not a OC/HC who cant manage the big picture. Week 1 against NW is CRUCIAL in my mind. The teams schedule gives them a legit chance to win quite a few games.
  3. I think his point was it doesnt matter if the coaches dont have your back and wont hold players accountable. If he gets on a guy like Bryce and then the coaches let bryce keep making the same mistakes, it just makes Webster look like his voice doesnt matter.
  4. I havent been on the "Fire Hoiberg" tease yet but things like that make me think we need new coaches or figure something out with the guys in house. Kobe was holding back but it sounds to me like we have a major culture problem. I respect Kobe and when he says things like this, I listen.
  5. If only..... It wont happen. Georgia? USC?-- Not sure his thoughts on Lincoln Riley. Wouldnt be shocked if he stayed at OU. Just hope he doesnt go to the B1G
  6. I think most hope that he just had a bad OC. With Whipple, whoever we get will be someone who can be coached up. Slovis has some strong skills. Just need it to come together.
  7. Only two hats in front of him.... Nebraska or Texas. We meet again, old foe.
  8. Curious why MN didnt offer. They have a tremendous eye for RB and the fact they didnt see him as a fit makes me go "hmm" I also hope that puts a HUGE chip on EJ's shoulder. If he wants to bust off for 150+ against them, thats cool with me. Gophers might have been "full" Added 3 star from Texas Not sure
  9. Here are my thoughts: Recruiting scandal most likely ends with Matt A being gone if it is "juicy enough". The team biggest struggles are because the offense relies on the 3 and they cant make it. They miss it, have zero second chance opportunities and then struggle with transition defense. This team will upset a few teams as soon as the 3's start to go in. That will allow them to set up defense on the other end. They just need confidence. They also need a few bulldogs to start getting rebounds. I personally am not a huge Verge fan because he has yet to turn that aggressive attacking style into a tool to get more assists, but honestly he is our only source of offense--so cant really tell him to stop. I am not ready to call this season a wash. The team was sick against Michigan. That all being said, they need to turn it on before its too late. 0-2 and things dont get easier with OSU/MSU as the next two B1G games.
  10. Exactly. I have never understood the people that just want to wish these guys a crappy career. Does it hurt to watch guys like Wandale have success, of course, but happy he found a place that made him better. Sometimes these guys dont leave the right way, but rarely will I wish ill. Glad they are finding better for themselves.
  11. Forgot the part where he made a ton of freaking money to never actually play(2 snaps) with OSU and still ended up back in Texas to make even more money.
  12. Its all message boards-- The sky is always falling. I agree it is frustrating but remember most of us know nothing. We are just tired of losing.
  13. Florida is correct.. I got my geography all turned around.
  14. Rumor was he might be getting a look from Miami-- It was a few days ago and havent heard much since-- Saw it on Huskers Reddit--so could be a lot of nothing.
  15. Unless the rumors of Beckton leaving are true, then who knows. A bunch of people thought we were adding the Coastal Carolina OC because of who followed him on Twitter... It is an in-exact science.
  16. ITs so frustrating that we switch coaches and we still see "hero" ball. Verge is the only thing we either have or are showing. How cant we have better movement without the ball? Teams continue to just murder us from 3. For how excited I was about our talent this year.. We arent seeing it.
  17. Too lazy to see if this joke was already made.... I just hope that hiring him doesnt have a negative whipple effect on the current recruits
  18. Would be curious if other schools practice in big gyms or if the reason they seem to be shooting better is they get more shots up in warm ups to figure that out. That all being said, my thought is it should be muscle memory. I honestly think it comes to the office and guys struggling to move without the ball. It feels stagnant and so guys are getting the ball when they are standing still or they are forcing the shots up. It never feels super fluid and most guys probably need a bit more of that. I would love to see this team get better about making the extra pass. If a guy like verge drives, my hope is his first pass ends up in the corner to someone like Bryce and then over to another guy which forces the defense to move and gets us better looks. So often it feels like teams dont have to chase our guys and it makes defense way easier. We know the guys can shoot lights out in practice-- Have heard that about Kesei and Lat.
  19. That would mean we got a nice thing and Husker fans arent allowed nice things. My guess is we get a kick in the shins and a QB who is missing two fingers or something.
  20. I highly doubt this would happen, but know Notre Dame is PJ Fleck's dream job..... I doubt his schtick flies there but.... If Brian Kelly actually goes to LSU.. the dominoes are going to start falling BIG TIME
  21. Punters/Kickers have easily been one of the most frustrating fails this season. I know Culp was good two years ago but was sort of obvious punters were garbage. I hope we can add a some help
  22. I wish he would just cancel Runza.. It isnt good. ***I know this might get me killed.
  23. I am fine with losses against Oklahoma, Michigan State, Michigan. Not fine with losses against Purdue, Illinois and Minnesota if you want to make the argument we are improving. Sure it would be nice if we could have played Indiana, Rutgers and Maryland instead of Michigan, Ohio State and Michigan State.. but I honestly dont think we win more than a game against those 3 other teams based on how poorly coached we are. I could handle a 6-6 year based on the schedule. At this point, we will be lucky to be 4-8. Can we stop with the conjecture we are improving.
  24. Meh-- I think this is a bit overblown. My guess is we have a bit of a reputation deal so maybe you get some calls that dont go your way. Not nearly as bas as it was with Bo but I dont think it is some big conspiracy. We(myself included) just like to tell ourselves that as an excuse to our team just not being very good.
