"It’s possible Dickerson may be able to at least see Minnesota in January with a general campus tour through the university." - OWH

 

Yeah, go see what Minneapolis is like in January...

I have lived in Lincoln and in MN. They arent drastically different. Minnesota gets colder by about 10-15 degrees and way more snow... But Lincoln is way more flat and the wind whips. Some of my coldest moments were walking on campus in Lincoln. 

He wont notice that much difference from Omaha. However the UofM campus is not my favorite at all. Its  too spread out.

I love Lincolns campus. He might like the big city aspect.

Good riddance! You cannot create the culture that Frost speaks of but have the shadow of Wandale’s nfl future hanging over the team. If nobody is bigger than the team than NOBODY is bigger than the team. 

Ya.. how dare a kid want to go spend more time with his sick mom.

I get those who think the family angle is an excuse but sick of blaming kids who seemed all in and then leave to make their life better.

Wandale wasnt highlighted. Maybe that wasnt all Frosts fault but it seemed to me like Wandale gave his all and it didnt work. Add on top of that, that his mom is sick. 

I am bummed he is leaving. But lets get rid of this narrative that he didnt give his call or that his future NFL aspirations somehow got in the way.

At what point will HCSF start losing public support?  I think he is still here at least 2 more years.  Again at what point will it get like Riley and Callahan where you knew it was win or you are gone?

I think that is beginning to happen. I havent heard as many outwardly questioning Frost as they did Riley but it sounds like some former players are getting restless.

Frost reminds me more and more of Bo. His ego will be his un-doing. He hires friends or yes men and puts so much on himself.

This clearly isnt working and its time for him to call on help.

I’ll disagree 

I think the staff has still worked him, but I think the Gophers have also put on a full court press.

I think he had second thoughts but will end up at MN unless something drastic happens. 

I have no sources, just my gut feeling.

CTB and JOJO coming back are the two big keys.

I am open to some of the other guys but also ok to see some of the young guys get more playing time. 

Culp being back would be nice. I assume he will be.

Honas is a vet, and if he can continue improving I am all on-board. 

Kind of meh on the rest.

I think it's dependent on whether Fleck is offered & takes an NFL job. Let's hope that he's offered a position and he jumps. Even knowing that Fleck is a hot name in the NFL head coaching carousel and could leave Minnesota sometime during Dickerson's tenure could have an impact on his decision. I'm sure Fleck is doing everything he can to convince Avante that he's not going anywhere.

I dont think he is a "hot name" I think one team(Detroit) has interest in him and it isnt known if its even mutual.

I think Fleck stays in CFB for a bit still. 

Curious for the rankings folks what would losing Dickerson do to the Gophers rankings and what would it do to the Husker rankings if we added him?

Ill be shocked if he does go to Minnesota.  Coach is a fraud and the program sucks and the mascot is cheesy as s#!t.

While I agree that Fleck feels like a fraud, his players seem to love playing for him. They are winning far more than Nebraska andif a kid doesnt pick a program because of the mascot, I have more questions about the kid than the school.

No. I think the states are too inter-mixed. It would create a ton of issues involving things like work/family being dispersed in different states/ immigration and not to mention how do you even break things apart.

Lets say Texas breaks off, what is to stop them from trying to grab land from others.

Glad to see their loan finally got approved so they could go back to buying players.

If the best you can get out of your dad is that you're "not a horrible blocker", that's probably not great....

Honestly given our issues at center he had me sold when he said he could snap the ball....

Word is he's not signing next week.  Great friends with Bretz and Rollins.  Nebraska saving a spot for him.

Is there actually smoke here?

Kind of thought this was dead in the water. I would love to have him and with a bunch of FL guys transferring there is a pretty obvious route to playing time.

According to Kenpom, the Huskers will lose the remaining 21 games.  In fact, we don't have more than a 31% chance to win any of them.  

I think we can compete with:

Michigan

Purdue

Indiana

Maryland

Minnesota

I think we can beat:

Penn State

Northwestern

I think we lose but play competitively

Wisconsin

Rutgers

Ohio State

I think we get out matched:

Michigan State

Illinois

Iowa

So they are willing to look at changing rules for osu but wouldn't let us play chattanooga. I get it rules for thee but not for me. Why did we come to this conference again?

Ohio State is good at football and they make the Big Ten money... That is why the Big Ten will bend over backwards.

Big Ten is spineless.. But we came here because of Texas and the Big 12 was spineless.

Its annoying but not shocking.

Started their first two games. Averaging 1 point, 3 boards & 2.5 blocks per game.

The one that got away....

For those that care:

Kenpom ratings- Nebraska(117) vs McNeese State(323)

2 of the top 3 scorers for McNeese return including Guard Dru Kuxhausen who is from Scottsbluff. AJ Lawson is their other scoring guard.

The Last chance U show on Netflix has really helped me understand JUCO players a bit more.

It is a mixture of guys who just werent ready for college--others who made mistakes and knew they were on the last rope.

D1 programs bend over backwards to get kids eligible and support them. I am always hesitant on putting too much "hype" on a JUCO kid because I just think they are such an unknown.

I am not trying to lump them all in one group but it just seems these kids just arent ready.

I am not buying it is an injury with Omar. He is dealing with something and whatever it is, I hope they support him through it so he can get an education.

Need to get him to sign during the early signing period:

 

 

Do most assume this is a 1 and done?

I am excited to see where we end up. Kid could certainly be a game changer for this program. 

Nebraska 31

Penn State 21

Rush 181

Pass 181

As long as the votes still count, I could actually sort of get on board with this...

We learned that people are tired of trump's blather. I don't think we learned that people are voting FOR Biden, but rather AGAINST trump. I don't know of anyone who is excited for a Biden presidency, and nearly everyone I've discussed it with thinks he'll spend most of his time cleaning up trump's mess.

 

We also learned that, aside from "not donald trump," Americans are fine electing Republicans across all levels of government. The Dems hoped to take the Senate (and apparently there's a possibility they might, but I don't expect it), and not only did they not outright take the Senate, they lost ground (but still hold a majority) in the House. Further, down-ballot was an absolute bloodbath for Democrats across state legislatures and municipalities.

 

Democrats lack charismatic leadership. They lack intelligent messaging. They cling to an America that has long since passed them by, and resist embracing progressive ideas that voters have shown they support. The best thing Democrats can do in the next four years is give Nancy Pelosi a nice gold watch and usher her off into retirement.

 

 

Well said. I think the message for Democrats has been so focused on Trump and his issues, that they have sort of forgotten what they stand for.

I am not a huge Biden fan but I also dont think he is going to cause a Civil or world war because his ego gets in the way of logical thinking. 

My big concern is that Trump comes back in 4 years and runs again. I hope that if Biden hangs on, the Republicans realize the fault of their ways and start working to unify. 

Enough of this "if you dont do exactly what your party says you are dead to us" crap and allow for the two parties to work together to create fair resolutions. 

I know it wont happen, but a man can dream.

People have a great time at them.  Nigerians appear to be having a good time.  I was going to go to one this weekend but since 25% of the attendees are Democrats I figured it's more important for them to attend and see for themselves what the MSM tells them is bunk.  Biden's drive-in protests are quite different with Biden angrily yelling at cars and the dark winter hanging about.  Biden is just too divisive calling Republicans chumps.  

Dont forget the part about getting covid and spreading it to all your family...

Actually it doesn't. I didn't know you two knew each other before HB.

If I look hard enough, I have a couple pictures of Zrod and I from our dorm days. 

He is correct, my wife is a far better human than myself.
