  1. I can't wrap my ahead around the fact that the embarrassing losses alone aren't enough for people to want change.

      Hell, some dont think our AD even needs to issue a statement about the coach and program. I've never seen a tense situation rectify itself by just acting like nothing happened and playing dumb.

  2. I couldn't stand listening to PJ Smith's rant on kozn. He sounded like a guy who simply did not get it.

      He's just trying to stick up for coach.

  3. 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

      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.

  4. I hope we load up on all these kids and let the cream rise to the top. The talent here is going to be ridiculous after the 2015 class. Nebraska will be loaded. Its going to be all about mentality from there.

      Mentality fixes a lot.

      Mentality. That's what I'm afraid. That's been the problem for six years now.

      They need to see and feel real success. Even the coaches do. Georgia is a good start. This team has momentum. Kick Miami's ass and this team will begin to see it.

  5. I just want to give a shoutout to all of those who are running this board. I took some time to check out other teams message boards (ucla,mizzou,lsu,iowa st) and they are awful. good job guys!

      every now and then I checkin on this big12 trashtalkin site (big12warzone) that I used to visit every now and then. They get angry whenever you try to have a legitimate disucussion.

  6. I know I know, this is not news but hearing Sipple talk makes me wonder why radio shows waste their time.

      He was on a roll today, eh?

       

      Even he doesnt have a clue what's gonna happen, so he's protecting his ass. Just......in case.

  7. I know we can say this about a lot of our players but I would love to see how a coached up Alonzo Moore turns out.

      Can he tackle? Worst case of stone hands I've ever seen. He made Niles Paul look like Odell Beckham Jr.

      he also made tough catches in traffic as well. I just think he has such tremendous upside.

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

      glad to know that!

  9. 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!

      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

  10. I truly believe DONU is one conference championship/rose bowl win away from blowing the recruiting doors wide open.

  11. I used to enjoy reading LJS and OWH. Now, I don't even bother.

  12. I want to throw a name out there that I believe will make a big leap for next year and thats Kevin Maurice. Also for everyone wanting Stanton, I only see Tommy getting much better from here.

      I just hope Bo doesn't put the blinders on and stick with one QB no matter what.

  13. 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.

      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.

  14. I would fire Bo based off this Minn-Wisc game.

      Right? I think you could say this about a lot of opponents.

  15. 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.

  17. I'm not saying that Tommy is the savior and will be the next greatest qb at Nebraska but hating on him or saying he's not the answer at this point of his career makes you an idiot. Yeah I said it.

      I agree, I feel that nebraska needs to hire a bonafide qb coach and pay him big. that will change this team real fast.

      THANK YOU!

  18. I've been saying it for years. No more helmet tapping the opponents, no more picking them up, no more "we look up to those guys" too much class. Enough of that BS

  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

      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. If I had TO as my boss, I would've asked him for the blue print on how to be successful at Nebraska. I would've applied every tangible aspect to my football team. Bo had the greatest resource of them all and squandered it.

      Osborne has said on many occasions that he doesn't try to intervene on these coaches. Secondly, many former players who have seen practice say Bo does it his own way. Rules have changed but they have he could definitely do more. Damon has said this many times.

      It's obscenely obvious that Bo does it his own way. Keep doing it your own way Bo. Right on out the door eventually.

  21. If you dont believe in the conspiracy now, simply you have your head up your a$$

  22. 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.

  23. Im beyond embarrassed. this is disgusting

  24. Info in Nebraska can never stay private. There are too many eyes and ears.
