Does it really matter who we get? You guys are going to b!^@h about it no matter who it is

I still remember the Russel Wilson thread...washed up baseball player that wasn't worth a sniff out of NC State.  LOL...good ol' Nebraska fans....smh

...for some reason every time I see the "1890 Initiative" my first instinct is to wonder whether that is the thing we keep hearing about in education.  Then I google it and see that is the "1619 Project" - still too close and too weird for me.  Time for a new name.

We went through this when SF was hired.  Everyone was freaking out then too.  New staff, new culture, there will be casualties 

Oh yeah?  And how'd that work out?

People are trying really hard to make this into some form of scandal.

I'm not going to research it.  But, contracts like this are common and this stuff is typically spelled out in the contract when the person is hired.

...based on when the person is fired.  this person retired.  that's completely different.  which is what he was referring to, have some balls and make it public the guy was fired.  only reason not to do that is to protect Moos and/or cover something up.  For a school trying to scrap together $$ to keep the build going throwing $3million to someone who voluntarily exited 18 months short of his comittement isn't exactly an intelligent decision unless you had damn good reason to.  Pretty expensive retirement party....

This is not uncommon in college athletics.  We aren't different than other schools.

Just curious who else has had an athletic director retire with 18 months left on their contract, but still paid them out for not only the entire sum of the remaining contract but also bonuses based on future metrics the teams have not even yet achieved?

I bet we don’t even lead the league in buyouts.

Nebraska’s run of buyouts continues. A 2020 study by Athletic Director U revealed no school in the country spent more money paying off football and men’s basketball coaches since 2005 than the Huskers, who doled out nearly $28 million overall. The school also paid off fired A.D.s Steve Pederson ($2.2 million) and Shawn Eichorst ($1.7 million) during that span.

Frost took over his 1st recruiting class with 2 weeks to piece meal it together.  His year 4 isn't his real year 4.

So did pretty much every other coach hired in 18', of which there were plenty.  It's kind of amazing to look through the list at the best hires of that year and see how many are already out the door or struggling though.  No one would have expected Chip Kelly to be a non-factor in year 3.    Mullen/Fisher are trending in the right direction.  Taggart, gone from FSU.  Joe Moorehead, gone from MSU.  Chad Morris, gone from Arkansas.  Kevin Sumlin, gone from Arizona.  Jeremy Pruitt, gone from TN.  Matt Luke, gone from Ole Miss.

Thank you for your yearly contribution. You have 2 more posts remaining for the year.

 - yeah, the mass-exodus that was the purge of Huskerboard a few years ago reduced my posting - and inversely greatly enhanced my productivity.  HB has been stifling descent a free speech since long before Facebook & Twitter!

Betts is in. (Relaxed admissions standards ). Nothing to indicate Manning won't be in as well at this point. Remember, the whole nation is depending on online classes right now. 

 

The point of the "haul" comments is that we signed several receivers last class, many of whom were highly sought after. Therefore, it is okay to be optimistic that we may have depth at the position now and missing out on one recruit shouldn't sour the whole group. 

Just read this from last week: https://theathletic.com/1796343/2020/05/05/nebraska-huskers-football-recruiting-bellevue-west-zavier-betts-micah-riley-keagan-johnson/

Betts, a potential high-impact newcomer at Nebraska next season, continues to work toward academic eligibility. Two weeks remain in high school for him to finish remote coursework. Betts is focusing on his grades.

 

“He tells me the right things,” Huffman said.

 

Betts does not stand to benefit from a recent rule change announced by the NCAA Eligibility Center that waives the minimum standardized test scores for incoming student-athletes in 2020, because Betts did not meet the core-course requirements to enter his senior year.

 

He has already taken the ACT exam, though Betts has been unable to retake the test with dates canceled in response to the pandemic. If he meets his benchmark in the classroom this month, Huffman said, “I don’t see how they can hold (a test score) against you if they’re not even offering the test.”

 

Huffman said he’s hopeful Betts, in that scenario, would qualify through an exception allowed under the unusual circumstances.

still seems iffy to me.  depending on an exception

Top 2 Kids in Iowa - Chance that Iowa misses out on both

Would have left this one out of your example considering they currently have 7 of the top 10 locked up already.  Iowa has done a damn good job this year.

I think KJ is a good talent but given our haul last class, we aren't in desperate need at his spot. Wish him the best but not a dagger to the program or morale. Hopefully he's the last from the metro going to Iowa City for awhile. 

keep seeing comments similar to this.  i haven't been following nearly as close as I used to - but for some reason I still thought manning and betts were very much up in the air.  without them, that "haul" last class looks pretty mediocre.  are we confident both will make it?  considering they aren't in a classroom and having to depend on themselves, being accountable to themselves, with no one else holding them accountable...consider me a little worried here if we have to depend on "online classes" to get these two qualified.

I don't think the staff is gonna look much into the transfer market that is why they are trying to seemingly fill up now. I expect everyone who is going to be in this class to sign tomorrow except Betts. I don't think Aho makes it. So I think you are looking at KJ, Fleming, Brown, Francois, and Payne to fill out the class. That will put us at 26. Without Aho, we are at 25 leaving one spot open for a potential transfer or HS DL, which is unlikely, or walk on scholarship .

I thought I read somewhere that if they sign and don't qualify they still count against the #s - one of the reasons they are saying Betts is waiting.

So you are attempting to migrate from Invision (a php/mysql application) to Xenforo (a php/mysql application).

With this free program (sql buddy) and a database username/pw for READ ACCESS you can look at the database schema of both applications and figure out how to map the data. http://sqlbuddy.com/

 

Each user in Invision clearly has a database field that contains the "member's total reputation" and another database field that contains the total number of posts. It is just a matter of finding the corrosponding fields in Xenforo and importing from Invision to Xenforo.

 

In my opinion, this should be done with Xenforo installed on a completely different domain: whatever.com

Once you see that all has gone well and whatever.com looks the way you want, then you just point the domain name huskerboard.com over to the whatever.com and delete whatever.com.

For that matter, it could be done in a SUBFOLDER of huskerboard.com (huskerboard.com/xenforo/) and when the operation is complete just repoint huskerboard .com to /xenforo/ as the root folder. Everything else would remain the same underneath that.

I'd assume there are processes/batches that recalc this periodically versus just some sort of running total in which case without the original posts and their associated points you might be SOL.
 

I obviously missed something regarding board ownership...but if it has changed hands...think I can bring my bouncing boob avatar back?

Yes, that is Michigan State's alt uniform this year.

^ exactly - better not to specialize too much anyway.

Front page of CNN....

Not sure if it's been mentioned yet - but Randy Shannon signed a 3 year contract as a DC (UCF).  Year's 1 and 2 are 300k, year 3 is 1mill.  All guaranteed.  Why the difference?  Florida's still paying him for 2 more years.

...  If we we're, we would be much better off giving MR a little more time.  Go watch the Iowa game from last weekend.  They beat Ohio State using MR's offensive game plan.

 

Enlighten me please.  They played defense, that isn't in MR's plan.  Caused turnovers, not something we've been doing.  Rushed for 240 yards on 38 attempts. That doesn't sound like a Riley team.  Are you maybe talking about the TE's catching the ball?  Well that's because of THIS guy...someone who should be a Husker but isn't because of Riley and Co. slow played him if IRC...

I’m not sure why people don’t think Kelly has a good enough resume for the NU job.  He was one of college football’s top 5 coaches 5 years ago, and his record at Oregon speaks for itself (see above). People act like he only made one national championship game, he’s a failure. 

We're Nebraska fans, it's what we do.  I remember when Russel Wilson was transferring and how that conversation played out on HB.  Guy was dog-$h!t, no way we'd want him here.  Haha.  

needed that...

Talking heads on ESPN2 just said something along the lines of 'Nebraska is about 2-3 years away from landing a recruit like Lewis.'

maybe at WR specifically...could see that. we don't have a proven passing QB, and haven't had one in a decade.

now 1708, in 28th place on Rivals...fml
