EZ-E

EZ-E you're attending to the topography of the behavior rather than the function. A laugh can do many things, it can communicate amusement, it can alleviate uncomfortable stuff, it can show that you've toughened up for your team. Him laughing means nothing other than he laughed. I'm assuming that it wasn't a haha that's funny laugh.

That's true, zoo, and I certainly wouldn't say any of this is Martin's fault. I think his reaction is real and he has a lot to deal with. At this point it also looks like his reaction has been highly unusual. And the media has run with a very personally vilifying angle on Richie, who still doesn't seem like that pleasant a guy, but...

I completely agree with you Zoogies. Richie has been completely vilified and I think it's unjust. However, behavior is functional (this is what I study for a living) so given the context, I understand Martin's odd reaction or at least think I do. I think there's too much blame to go around to pin it on any one individual and it's without a doubt something that goes beyond those two guys.

this is the third illuminati post ive seen online today. getting nervous

It's the royal We. Dude told me so.

Send me a PM EZ.

I'll take a PM.

LOL at KJ

Wait so we put our entire program on total lockdown and spent all of our energy over the offseason and fall camp on...the UCLA game?

We better win 84-17.

My prayers are with her and the families.

Consider it done

Hope your friend recovers fully. She's fortunate to have a friend like you who is there for her.

I agree. There was definite improvement today. And that's all I really care about at this point. Just continue to improve over the course of the season and play your best ball at the end of the year.

We are so young on defense it's stupid. All of our major contributors on defense have their best football in front of them. Need to get our linebackers to start flying to the ball. Afalava was a monster today.

Afalava was a dark shadow of OHanlon today in that 33 as he rocketed into ball carriers.

ZRod, the Stanford team that Oregon lost to you mean? Hmm.

Yup! SEC get mulligans why can't Oregon?

Doesn't look as good because Standford probably should have one that one.

Now I am an engineering student and yes I put up with a lot of over educated people with no common sense but a few of us no whats up lol

But you.....whatevs.

I sea you took that seriously lol

But in the same regard it's a new team and a new season. One game does not a season make.

oK guys. I'm a lay it here from my perspective. I've rewatched the game twice now. no where near as bad as it seems. Some things to build on. I counted 14 plays defensively where we had at minimum 6 freshman and/or redshirt freshman on the field. It was the first game. I understand the concerns, but there has to be perspective that can allow some patience. last night was against a veteran offense and a qb that will probably be playing in the NFL. What has aggrevated me last n...

Winning IS enough, EZ-E. After all...Nebraska beat Ball State a few years ago.

This class was never going to be that good...

Pelini and the coaches have finished the recruiting wars in good fashion the last two years. We need what....about 8 to 10 players to fill this class? If we get the OT's, a few DB's, at least 1 LB and whatever else the coaches can find we'll be in decent shape with 3 good classes in a row.

I believe they said we would take 4-5 DB's....we are at 3 now. So 1-2 more is what we are looking at.

So are you guys saying nightclub may be south of omaha and start with a P?

No. PM me if you'd like the story.

How many were shot and killed? Or was this not around North Omaha. Yeah. Probably happened in the west suburbs around Gretna.

I'm way ahead of ya buddy. LOL

I have had enough chew, whiskey, and shine to go around. You know what you do?!? Wake up tomorrow and you do it again!!!

No, for Tommy I think it would be a great confidence booster. Bo's signature win would have to be against OSU if we make it there. Gotta get through MSU, PSU, and Iowa first.

Correct WAHusker and normally you would have to sign an intellectual property agreement as well. However, there are things and contacts that simply cannot be taken away from the employee.

when Bo became our head coach i seem to remember him being asked if he would go after or bring some of lsu commits with him. i seem to remember him saying that that is not how you do business.

wags, he did bring along Evans though didn't he? Its sometimes how business is dealt. All anyone knows, is McWilson could have contacted him, because of the relationship the two built. If that is even remotely the case, what is Marrow suppose to do... hang up and say he is already committed?

Michigan has plain and simply underacheived with the talent they have on their hands...they'll drop a few more this year IMO. I predicted them to be 3rd or 4th on the Legends this year.

Yet...I'll add this...they made it to the Sugar and won it...so I'll give them that and it's an impressive feat. I would expect to see a bit more consistency though

I don't think Hoke quite has "his guy" at QB yet. Hokes a good coach, I like his approach to coaching. He will win games.

Maybe not. But these kids know the rules to keep their scholly when they sign up. If they don't want to earn their pay (scholly) then they get cut (fired). Works the same way in a job. Its more fair than the boyscouts would have you believe. It is the way the game is going and if we want to be competitve then we better keep up, like it or not.

HuskerB. I say this with animosity. It just just an argument on my part. "Cutting the dead weight" is just a chicken sh#t way of doing things. Who's responsible for the young man getting offered the scholarship and being convinced to come to campus in the first place? The coaches. Then, the the player "doesnt work out", the coaches get off by cutting his scholly and kickin him to the curb and why? Becuase he could run as fast as they thought. This is one issue that...

He is probably doing it legit, but there is a difference between an SEC program and Nebraska, as someone probably posted already in this long comment list. SEC=1 year scholly, Nebraska= 4 years automatically. We don't cut because someone doesn't live to their expectancy. SEC needs to care about the kids more than football.

Still think our quarterback is flakey. But I can make all Americans out of monkeys humping footballs in my offense

I'm interested at transferring in, if you have any spots available coach.

I want HuskerThor at LB. I'll make my votes and nominations public as they come.

I was at the UCLA game and I saw a TMart that played timid??? I saw a few times where he could have pulled the ball on the zone read and the TMart we all know would have went for 40 yards. No idea why he didn't.

We expected to have struggles early on in the season defensively. I am hoping we play well this week on defense because we are going to need a big effort to win.

I can only speak for myself, but I think recruiting has picked up the past two classes. The first three were not as good....whiffs on the DL and not enough speed at LB.

Those misses on the DL had a lot of good offers at other schools. I think the recruiting the last 3-4 years has averaged on par with the best NU has done.

No. I take Dirk with a grain of salt and that is how he should be taken. I just think that it's funny when you ask some of these guys to elaborate on the claims they make that they really have no response.

"He's a real person, you know?" Uh, no. Dirk is a myth. Sort of like a journalistic unicorn.

You made his Mad Chatter column too http://sports.omaha.com/2013/11/15/mad-chatter-nebraskas-big-game-twitter-debates-class-a-playoffs/#.Uob9i-Jqv_E

Maybe our next coach will have that authority....if we can get him to leave his current job at Colorado.

Yes. That was my point. Spot on.

Valentine was a force in the middle. Can't wait to see the guy develop.

Can we do a recount on Huskerboard Head Coach? EZ-E is back to take his throne

So glad EZ-E is back....welcome back man

I may need avatar help

Harvey is opposed bc/ Jim Delany told him to be. They've all been given talking points. The majors are afraid of a true playoff bc/ of SEC domination and the effects on revenue.

i cant believe anyone is still against this. you have to win to be in the top 4 and one loss could easily knock you out of the top 4. so how does that devalue the regular season again?

Unless you're Alabama or LSU.

We got 7 sacks against good ole' idaho state. And this site doesn't count those.

Don't have a point. Just found that stat interesting.

Sack lunch! Nom, nom, nom, nom!

That being said, I like what Nebraska's Phi Delt chapter did with their house.

Who cares. bin Laden is dead. Good for us and good for him. I'm glad he's dead. And I'll be happier when the rest of the Mr. I-Hate-America bastards are dead.

I'll be celebrating his death every year not because he'll be miss but because America just got a little safer with his passing. F that douchbag and Al Qaeda.

you mean "dominant"?

"dominatrix" gets better Google results.

Does it though?

LandLord, you mean Indiana? Or really Illinois??

Indiana, also Ohio State in the title game potentially. Our offense is injury-depleted though, don't forget

We would've been if we were healthier. Either way, we still have the talent to get the job done.
