  1. Do Kindles still restrict you from using the Google Play store? My wife has an older Fire, and that's what has kept us from buying a new one.
  2. Gotta do what we can to keep Thompson, too.
  3. Word from 'round the campfire is we're top 2 right now.
  4. He does have that right to protest, just like everyone has the right to call him out on it if they don't like the way he is protesting. Sorry but his right to protest doesn't trump anyone's right of free speech.Wise men and fools have the right to free speech. Both should not be respected equally.I agree. His foolish disrespect of our national anthem is his right on his own time. But he should never had been allowed to embarrass and offend the university and state while wearing a Nebraska uniform. Good riddance. Swing and a miss.
  5. I'd give Farniok every opportunity to start....at LT. That would be pretty high hopes for Farniok to displace a 2-year starter in Gates, and one who the coaches moved from RT to LT this year. I don't think Gates lived up to either his hype or potential this year. I don't think getting pushed would be the worst thing in the world for him. I agree that Gates struggled at times, but he was also the best lineman on the field for most of the year. Nothing wrong with Farniok pushing him, but it probably would be best to start him out on the right side in his first year as a starter. And he was hurt. Gates isn't going anywhere. He's an NFL talent. Farniok will push for the RT spot. He needs to play like an NFL talent.
  6. Chris Jones is coming back next year.

      "Unfinished business" he says. Love that attitude.

      That's huge. Really glad we get to keep him here another year.

      Nice! That helps out a LOT!

  8. Franklin couldn't wait to get rid of the Hack, and play a QB who wasn't a statue. Just like MR and DL couldn't wait to get a QB that can see the field. Time will tell how that worked out for both. I love Armstrong, but the amount of open receivers he missed in his career would be staggering. If Lee/O'Brien can just do better in that one area, our passing offense will increase immensely.
  9. We should not lose a single game with that schedule.

  11. That's because people grasp at straws when things go wrong. A lot of what happened on Friday was on the players, both in effort and technique.
  12. OP probably shouldn't have eaten paint chips as a kid.
  13. Done. I have chores I can do.

  15. Kid is either gonna be a DB or a slot WR at the next level, but he looked really good last night.
  16. Harrison Beck couldn't either. I had Space Rocks for Rocks class with him back in the day.
  17. If there is a proto-type for what a native Iowan looks like, it's CJ Beat-hard.
  18. Which screams at me...."PARENTS". This kid may very well be smart enough to get decent to good grades in HS and get well above a qualifying ACT. However, if everything discussed here is correct, I would put the first and foremost blame on the parents. If the grade school teacher let him "slip by" without learning anything to prepare him...the parents should have been better involved in making sure he IS learning something and preparing him. Work ethic??? Where do you think that is taught? Hint....it's not from the teachers. As a teacher, all I can say is:
  19. All the talk has been that if he gets his grades up, and gets a qualifying ACT score, he'll get a scholly. I wouldn't be surprised to see him end up at a Juco if Nebraska wants to stash him for a couple years. PS, those ideas always sound great, but can anyone name the last time it actually worked out that way? (Meaning, we stashed him at a JUCO and then they eventually ended up at Nebraska) Who was the kid that Pelini put at Iowa Western with the intent of bringing him back? It happened during the transition, and Riley passed on him. In a business sense, it at least lets the program get a look at a kid against competition that is a higher level than Class A football in Nebraska. Dude, I agree with you. It's a great idea. I'm just saying it never seems to pan out. (It was a RB that was recently placed there, name escapes me though) Oh yea, I'm sorry if the tone conveyed was combative; I'm in agreement with you. I was more "thinking out loud" than anything.
  20. This is (generally) all in good fun, and I can have witty banter with people from other fanbases, but that Husker Haters guy is a dick.
