  1. Serious question here Huskerboard.com. Does Baylor rotate offensive linemen?

      When we're unhappy about losing, we find an amazing ability to diagnose "issues". Losing brings out the best coaches in all of us.

      I know Zoogs. I literally put it as "serious question Huskerboard" because I literally am just trying to figure out if rotating is becoming a trend in football or what the idea behind it is. I know the old school guy in me says, "team's don't rotate, build chemistry and play together", but football is a changing game, no denying that. Watch Baylor.....this game is changing. Yet, Old Dog K-State can still give them a run for their money...I love it.

      Good point Nuance. Haha! The whole damn thing looks exhausting to me LOL!

  2. I love K-State football. I hate em if we play them, but the way they play so damn smart. They play hard! Damn I respect that program a lot. I got a lot of respect for Snyder and the way he's able to get the most from his team too. Can't say I care what thier win/loss record is....that's a good football team. They execute, and they play hard. All you can ask.

      I always have too PowerT. I mean always. Even back when they competed with us. I keep watching this game wondering how good would Tommy Armstrong be in their offense? It'd be interesting I think. He'd probably be really good.

      Agree 100%. Always loved watching them, and always cheer for them as long as we aren't playing them. Could the B1G maybe dump Rutgers and Maryland and bring in some of our old Big 8 brethren? A guy can dream, right?

      Hope our coaches are watching this game so Snyder can teach them good time management.

      What's the narrative?

      I'll link the podcast or make a thread when it comes up.

  4. Eichorst didn't lend a message of support for Bo Pelini during the season because he didn't support Bo Pelini. I don't think they got along very well...... Crazy how when you treat people with respect and courtesy, your boss is willing to break his own rules to show support of you. I guess having a bit of class can be an advantage sometimes. Whodathunkit?

      OH yeah, he did issue that!

      funhusker

      Meanwhile Bo flapped in the wind for 5-6 weeks and became even more agitated and closer to a breaking point. Bo is responsible for his actions, but Eichorst didn't help the situation at all. If it was Eichorst's policy then so be it. But apparently it isn't. Apparently he let his feelings get in the way of being a professional. Funny, we fired a coach for doing that...

    4. True2tRA

      True2tRA

      Good point fun husker. Not sure what to make of Bo staying in 2013. I thought he would be fired that year.

  5. Is Nate Gerry battling a serious injury? The kid has got to be hurt. That's the only explanation.

      Might but injured. But his stats are almost exactly the same as at the 9 game point last year. :shrug:

    3. True2tRA

      True2tRA

      Yeah I'm not even talking stats though NUance. Watching the guy play this year I hate to question a guy like Gerry, a team captain and a tough looking SOB, but something's not right. He's having a rough time out there and he's making the highlight reel for all the wrong reasons. I have to think he's injured. He looks like apprehensive as hell.

    4. JJ Husker

      JJ Husker

      Maybe it's a brain injury....the way he took out DD on that one play?

  6. Wow, some of you guys are extremely upset. I hope you're going to be okay.

      We're all disappointed. But it doesn't help to tear the team down.

      Agreed. No doubt in my mind that if TA played, Huskers win. Defense may have actually played with heart near the end.

  7. Do recruits tend to commit to the school even if the staff that is recruiting them is rumored to be on the chopping block each and every week?

    1. JJ Husker

      JJ Husker

      I would guess that doesn't help. Another that doesn't help recruiting is losing games to the likes of Purdue and Illinois and never winning any big games. It's a wonder we get any recruits to sign.

    2. TonyStalloni

      TonyStalloni

      A few of the recruits from this class have already gone through one coaching change. They mostly said they committed to the school as much as the coach. I have to wonder if they would hold on if we had another so soon.

  8. It's still a really big deal for teams when they beat Nebraska. I bet half the players on the field for us right now don't even understand why.

      So the Purdue players are super stoked to beat Nebraska. But the Nebraska players don't know why beating them is a big deal?

      And if that's the case, it's yet another failure by this staff. But hey, they deserve more time, right? Those three games next season aren't going to lose themselves.

    4. Saunders

      Unfortunately, I don't think the coaches or AD do either.

  10. Huge amount of respect to Coach Jerry Kill @ Minnesota. I really wish the guy all the best in his fight with epilepsy. I don't know how he's been able to do this for so long, but he's definitely an inspiration to see what he has overcome in striving to live his dream.

  13. Even in Bo Pelini's worst defeats, I never relieved the players of any and all responsibility. After a Northwestern game where effort and ability is easily in question, there seems to be a lot of just that.

      I would rather lose to them this year when we are already turning in a poor record.

      I'm still baffled with the lack of passion/fire/desire playing at home with the 95 Team present. Geez, these guys really were two (2) years of age when that happened. Learn some history fella ... of the University you play for.

    4. admo

      I think you need a few guys on both sides of the ball to look up to, and they are just not there this year.

  14. Do threads about Husker coaches being fired, or their possible replacements belong in the Husker Football forum? Have they always been allowed there? I'm pretty sure Husker Football has a full coaching staff they just hired in December. So speculating on that seems like a perfect fit for the rumorville/hirings/firings/what ifs thread that is literally pinned to this board.

  17. Utah's QB apparently thinks USC Linebacker Cameron Smith is on his WR corps.

  18. Well I checked out the first half of the game. The team looked uninspired. How on a day like today they were uninspired, not sure, but that was my feeling on it. My van needed a new alternator so I went ahead and put the radio on and skipped watching the second half so I could get that done. Glad I made the right decision.

      Only the first half. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. It seems fairly obvious. 38 rushes, 82 yards. Aside from that I can't say much til' I watch the replay of the game.

    3. NUance

      NUance

      Yeah, uninspired. That's what it seemed like.

      Spoiler alert- you didn't miss anything you want to see in the 2nd half. You made the right decision to work on the van.

      They're great at keeping all the stats you want, but horrible at making them accessible.

  21. Youngstown St. lost 38-8 to South Dakota State. Apparently South Dakota State remembers the formula for beating Pelini. They ran the ball 46 times, 4.6 yard average, and threw the ball only 14 times. Youngstown has now lost 2 in a row.

      I think it's Arkansas where he's headed? Or no, Ohio State? South Carolina? Maybe Iowa, that'd be cool. I don't know, there was so many big time division one schools after him, that I can't keep track of all his options.
