      Awesome point Count. Heck, I think one of them even said they've never seen snow before. #excuses #poordisadvantagedNebraska #oldstalemindset #outwiththeoldinwiththenew

      Good point by Landlord as well.

      I guess I didn't understand Landlords point, that's why I didn't really comment towards is point. Is it to say that those players are somehow not good or going to be good because they were committed to Georgia Southern and Memphis before they came to us. Because if that was his point, I'd disagree. It means nothing.

  3. Well, I'm headed out there guys. Probably be in it for about 10-12 hours. I got a better set of gloves this time. Last snow it took me three weeks to get the numbness out of three of my fingers.

      We had between 6-8 inches of snow I believe. The way the wind was blowing it was a foot deep in some spots. I just got back home. It's damn cold out there now and my face is ready to fall off. I used a snowblower. A large one actually. Still, with four guys and about 25 places to snowblow, it takes some time.

      I made it in time to see that horrible call from the 1 yard line by the Seahawks. Wow.

  4. I love this movie.
  5. These Husker football coaches have to be exhausted. Gotta respect the commitment and the effort from the new staff.

  6. I try to get into Nebrasketball more. I try to catch the games when I can. I put this one on and they score 18 points in a freaking half? Geezus. It's not just this game either. These guys look like they just don't know how to put the ball in the hoop all the time.

      Yep. Im always an NU fan first but back many years ago when we were horrible i became a heels fan. Now after last year i think, finally, NU may be able to be good enough for years to come so now i can just be NU only. But this offense is hard to watch.

  7. Highly recommend the movie Unbroken. It's the story of WWII Prisoner of War Louie Zamperini. Amazing story.

      Good movie! A little long and not paced well, but an amazing story.

      I highly recommend the book! It goes much deeper into his story.

  8. Charles Jackson is cleared to participate fully for spring. I'm rooting for this guy big time. I can't wait to see him on the field.

      Splash. Daryl Hannah. Oh, I get it. Finally. lol

  10. Can anyone explain to me why Nebraska could lose two DE commits in the upcoming weeks? The position is wide open for someone to come in and make an impact. Then considering one of the guys is a home state prospect? Do these guys not want to play immediately? Is it a question of their work ethic or what's up with it?

    1. zoogs

      Well, Neal seems keen on checking out some other places and Jones just wants to have fun. It is what it is -- new staff, not all the recruits will be able to be retained.

       

      I don't follow enough, hopefully there are some decent backup options. DE recruiting being an issue has already been a glaring one going back a couple years. Even these two guys are only 3 stars. Not that it's bad to be a 3 star.

      Makes no sense to me. About to have a top ten draft pick at DE. I guess having a bff for a coach matters more.

    3. True2tRA

      Great point.

  11. Green Bay cheats really well. They execute that pick play better than Denver ever has.

  12. I would swallow my pride, I would choke on the rinds But the lack thereof would leave me empty inside I would swallow my doubt turn it inside out Find nothin' but faith in nothin'

      But love getting Barnett. Huge get! Can't ever get too many big boys in the trenches

  14. Wow. What a huge commitment today. One of the best offensive linemen in the country coming to play for the Big Red. Awesome.

  18. Wow. Denver is going from perrenial Super Bowl contender to complete rebuild mode. Broncos lose a lot off the roster and now their HC. John Fox did a damn good job. Pretty surprised by this.

      Kind of sucks both my teams are in rebuild mode now.

      I thought it was pretty commonly thought they had mortgaged the future to win a Super Bowl now. They did make it to one.

      Thought Fox had some health issues and wasn't sure he was all in for next season bc of it.

  19. Sources say Manning played with torn right quad muscle. IMO, and I'm no NFL coach, but if a guy is demonstrating that he is to capable of helping your team win, then I don't care if he's Peyton f'ing Manning, the coaches owe it to the rest of the team to give them the best opportunity to win. Osweiler should've atleast been given a chance.

      How many times do we see truely great teams overthink things in big games and hurt themselves?

    3. True2tRA

      True2tRA

      I don't think any of them looked as ineffective as Manning did though. Rodgers was a ke to start turning it on in the second half. Credit Manning for trying to gut it out, but he never looked effective.

       

      They kept getting away from the run all year. Finally the loss to the Rams where we threw 50 times and ran 15, finally raised some concerns but then Manning just gets all pass happy during spurts in games. 46 passes? Terrible game management.

    4. True2tRA

      True2tRA

      The blueprint to beat Manning has been out there for a long time. Indy was smart enough to do it. I never understand why more teams don't. Blitz and jam WR's. Now why Denver's defense never attempted the same things, I don't know. What s horrible game all around.

  20. Blown call. That call just decided the Cowboys season. I'm not a Cowboys fan but the reciever didn't maintain the ball but he did retain control in the endZone. The ball was never incomplete. That's the problem. The ball was never incomplete. The ball bounced up back into his arms. It could have easily been ruled a touchdown.

      Green Bay versus Seattle I guess. They stand an Ice bergs chance in hell.

    3. ZRod

      ZRod

      You have to view the entire action as the catch not just the physical possession. That's why you're interpreting it differently. If Dez caught the ball while laid out and the ball hit the ground and moved like it did, it would be incomplete. So the actual incident was just an elongated catch like the example.

    4. onlyHskrfaninIL

      onlyHskrfaninIL

      Whats funny is had he just tucked the ball to make sure he caught it he may have slid into the endzone anyways.

  21. YEEEAAAHHHHHHH! GET SOME! PLAYOFF FOOTBALL BABY!

  22. What a glorious day for some Playoff football. GO BRONCOS!

      Aren't you a Chiefs fan? Chiefs fans aren't allowed to even talk about football during the post-season.

      Must still be sore about last year.

      A little.

       

      Seattle still scares me. I watched them last night and I don't know who can beat them. Dallas did earlier in the ear in Seattle. Of course, if Denver wins today, they have to go to New England and beat them. Getting to the Super Bowl is in itself an achievement.

  23. "I'll openly question the hiring of respected coaches with 70+ years on their resume', but when Ohio St. hires Tim Beck, an OC with 4 years experience with a record of inconsistency, well that's an instant home run hire.

  24. Alright refs, this is an NFL playoff game......the guys might do a little trash talking and there may be some dudes a bit fired up. This game isn't about you, it's about them.

  25. New DC Mark Banker favors more simple defenses over complicated schemes. Less confusion, more confidence
