  1. All of this back and forth is so damn disgusting and toxic. Everything needs to be cleaned out. Nebraska fans deserve better. 

  2. We seriously have to reconsider taking the stripes off our pants. Despite the score, I felt like I was watching the real Nebraska on the field.

      I thought it looked good as well. Clean and classic

      @GSG I'm with you on the pants.  It was clean and classic, and paired great with the black shoes.

  3. This might be petty, but I am calling out a bunch of "UF fan" twitter profiles who are tweeting at Bookie. They all have one thing in common. 2-7 followers, suspect pictures, and only following recruits..

      Three things in common, sorry had a long day.

      You are doing work.  Thank you!

  4. Joshua Moore says Nebraska has one 5 star recruit and one 4 star recruit silently committed.

      Lol Coach just starts following recruiting again but knows it's not a Oregon target lol

  5. A prominent player suffered an injury this week. I do not know who it is.

      I like JOJO, but he wouldn't be a prominent injury. Must b someone else.

      From what i've heard JoJo may be prominent. Sounds like hes been balling this spring big time.

      Well a triangle is well known code for a three-way. And the fella to the right appears to be watching it thru a screen door. But I don't want to know where the elephant enters into this.

  6. Say what you want to say, Riley and Eichorst are definitely trying to win big here.

  7. I worked in the football offices at Cerritos College in Southern California. We had at least 10 bonafide division 1 players a year. I have a ton of recruiting stories about players and coaches all over the country. When it comes to Nebraska, they were probably the biggest victim of negative recruiting. I have a feeling this is still continuing. And it was bad.

      Because college campuses are SO diverse. Doesn't surprise me to hear any of that used against Nebraska and we're an easy target who isn't the cream of the crop to recruit over the top of that, but what are the demographics across the board amongst universities? Pretty close, is my guess.

    3. onlyHskrfaninIL

      onlyHskrfaninIL

      my guess is its less about the student population than it is the general population of the area. a lot of the kids grow up fearing rural areas.

    4. NUance

      Interesting because UNL campus is among the safest, most receptive campuses that I've ever been on. Lincoln is a pretty easy city to live in--regardless of ethnicity.

  8. Most of your problems get solved when you have a good QB. Ask Mark Helfrich, Jimbo Fisher, Les Miles, Todd Helton, Dan Mullen, etc.

    1. NUance

      A good O-line helps too.

  9. Nebraska is always at a disadvantage when it comes to preparation. Opposing defenses do not have to respect the pass. Do you know how hard that is for a staff? Nebraska needs to score on Lee. The woes on Offense will disappear (stay healthy) if Nebraska has a guy who can sling. Then the D won't have to hold teams to 3 to win.

      NUance, I agree but our O is predicated on that feature right now. We have to move away from that and have someone who can beat any D with his arm.

    3. NUance

      NUance

      Agreed. We were helpless on O today with Tommy hobbling around. We would have been better if he was healthy, but not sure we'd beat the Hawkeyes.

    4. swmohusker

      swmohusker

      More alarmed with the defense. Iowa looked like oregon on offensw

  10. The sails came down when Nebraska lost to Wisconsin. The team quit after that.

  11. I don't have DVR right now but can someone confirm on the last two plays before Wis OT TD, that the two TEs on the right side were moving forwards before the snap

    1. Savage Husker

      Savage Husker

      They were leaning both plays.

      I'm afraid we will all watch this game over and see that Nebraska was jobbed a whole lot more.

  12. I'll say one thing already, there are a lot of guys on this team that can make the "All bus" team. The guys look great physically. NFL talent is evident especially with the young pups.

      Terrible day. Two great young men gone...

  14. I really believe J.D. Spielman is going to make some serious noise when he gets to Nebraska. I'm talking freshman all-american type feats.

      I watched him and have coached against him...truly talented. I will admit I was not overly impressed with him as a junior, but last year he blew me away!

       

    3. ScottyIce

      ScottyIce

      I'd love it if they redshirted DPE and gave Spielman the keys. 2 more years with a healthy DPE would be deadly.

    4. swmohusker

      swmohusker

      Dont think you RS DPE unless absolutely necessary. He is an awesome talent, but if we land guys like Calvin and Lindsay in addition to Spielman we will have a bevy of those types of athletes to attack the defense. As long as Williams is out recruiting we should have a stable of athletes

  15. If your D-Line coach is not one of your best recruiters, you're going to have issues

    1. C N Red

      C N Red

      It doesn't help. Guys gotta want to play for him. If he's not putting himself out there, it can hurt. IMO the D-line needs to run the team, they have to be the shock collars, spirit lifters, etc Whatever is needed they need to be the lead on, captains or not.

  16. Noah Fant is the silent commit. Think about it.

    1. NUance

      NUance

      Sure hope he flips. Be a great pick up.

    2. GOAT

      I hope it's either him or Farniok

      Farniok came to mind as well. That would be huge

  19. Id' imagine that if your application status to UNL reads: "contact office of admissions" means I was denied?

      That was one of the issues. Since I'm in CA, specific courses are different, either in the way they are counted or in their description. I applied to the UC system (UCLA, UC-Irvine, UC Berkeley, Etc) which I qualified for. I explained that and was told to apply. I've taken roughly 12-15 units towards my major already.

       

    3. ZRod

      ZRod

      Well, you never really know with bureaucracies, but if you have a decent GPA and there is room in the major I would think you should get admitted.

    4. Vince R.

      Vince R.

      I called them and they said they would refer me to an admissions officer. I guess he or she was busy so I left a message. Is this how UNL tells you no? haha

  20. I put a little tidbit of strength and conditioning information in the football forum

  22. Willie Sykes is incredibly explosive and fast. Dude is much better than his ranking. I hope we land him.

  23. Hey guys, tell me what you think of this kid's tape. He's a junior playing at La Habra Highschool in CA. http://www.hudl.com/athlete/1674223/highlights/174687376
