I heard rumblings from players last year that Armstrong wasn't well liked. Can't speak to chemistry and how it played out on the field but I'm sure it didn't help anything.
There are one heck of a lot of very good QBs that aren't well liked by their team. That includes some of our most prized alumni.

Championships cure everything.
While this is true, there was a significant difference between Armstrong and Frazier. Frazier got into the grill of anyone who he deemed slacking. I don't recall TA really doing this. Frazier made everyone around him play better. He may have been hated, but he was well respected by his teammates. I'm not sure TA fit the same mold.
The significant difference was a championship and the surrounding cast.
Frazier 49% career passer - Armstrong 53% career passing
Frazier 1955 career rushing - Armstrong 1819 career rushing
Win and be a jerk, non issue. Lose and it is the first thing pointed at. There are plenty of instances of TA yelling at people.
Frazier is an icon and absolutely should be at Nebraska.

Doesn't make any sense. Why would we offer him during his sophomore year of high school if it isn't going to be committable? You would think we would take a little more 'wait and see' approach if we're not totally sure of the kids talent and projection, especially for a sophomore.
It almost assuredly is not. Apparently not high enough on our board.
Why would his offer be uncommittable?https://twitter.com/lilgarry_1/status/856687992596975617
All this family talk would be really awkward if it turned out his offer is noncommitable next year
You would think.
Friendly reminder ALL offers are "reported" offers until the school accepts a NLI. If this is the crux of your argument, remember than no one other than Garrison himself can comment on whether or not the coaches extended one.
Actually offers are only real on August 1st of their senior year. All offers are verbal offers until that date when they actually get it in writing. With the change in recruiting rules, that might move up the date of written offers as well.

And the results...........
Depending how he fills the class out, the talent level might be higher next year, actually.he needs to start doing something with the talent he is bringing in. remember last year when we had threads about the team being the best collection of talent ever at Nebraska? how well did that turn out?

It's not a right to go to the games. If you do go, you follow the rules of the venue. That's pretty much it.

The terrorists win when we give up our freedoms in the name of safety.
I think they should allow a woman (or dad) to bring in their normal diaper bag.
And I think a smaller backpack should be OK.
Let us be brave and try to live like we want to. That is what our forefathers wanted.
hahaha I highly doubt terrorists are checking the Nebraska game day rule changes and chalking it up as a win.

I'm starting to get the feeling that Copeland = Tanner Lee.Copeland will be one of our best players next season. Horne is transferring
Well ... Miles is in need of a QB....
Starting to hear some chatter that Copeland might test the NBA waters...
If i know one thing, it's that the NBA takes players recovering from back surgery every year.
He can test all he wants, but he will be at Nebraska next year.

W/L with Ed Morrow in B10 5/6
W/L without Ed in B10 1/6.
Total B10 wins....6. He was vital.
Excited for 2018.

Problem is miles doesn't know how to coach em up.
4 freshman?
And a round and round we go, never establishing a solid program. This is the first time in his tenure that he has a base of 4 solid freshman and 3 solid sophomores...not counting transfers. I say let it shake out and see if they get better.
Attrition and transfers has been a way of life for Miles. So it's nothing new
It's hardly a team of stars. Jimmy Butler yes, but the surrounding cast is an aging D-Wade, locker room cancer Rajon Rondo, and perennial all stars Nikola Mirotic (sp?) and Robin Lopez.
I wouldn't count out Hoiberg returning to college. Especially the way his star players treated him in Chicago.Hoiberg is not coming to Nebraska. He left his alma mater with 5 starters returning after a run in the NCAA tourney to go to the NBA. He's not coming back to college ball to cater/supervise 17-23 year old kids.
Nebraska has been a doormat for many years in basketball, lets give a guy with a team full of freshman and sophomores a fighting chance. Or we could fire him and 3-4 key players transfer leaving us with nothing and starting over....again. Then in 5 years fire the new guy because he didn't win fast enough and keep this cycle rolling. Let's put the video game down and ride this one out for a couple years.
The issue in Chicago is the front office, lots of unrest over how Gar Forman is managing the team. It's a bold strategy aimed at getting a high pick, problem is they're 30-29.
Hoiberg's teams rely on spacing and shooters, nothing that Nebraska currently has. So in comes forced attrition and transfers.
If the freshman leave this summer, it's officially a hot seat.
3 freshman, 4 sophomores, 3 transfers & another incoming highly rated HS player.
Tai Webster Webster disagrees. Either way it'll work itself out.

The off season is full of comparison articles and statistics...not too much else to write about until spring football when they will have access again.
With that being said, bring on spring football!

The "young" excuse is a lame argument because it goes hand in hand with good recruiting. If you recruit well, you will be playing young guys because the guys you bring in will be good players. So...it is a wash.
The Big Ten is horrible this year...Crean is getting canned...MSU has their worst team in Izzo's career...Iowa is lame...Illinois is down big time...Minny sucks...Rutgers is horrible...this is Matta's worst team since his first year (I think),
Wisconsin is solid and NW is "good" Purdue is about where they normally are or where they have been for the last 10 years or so.
Will NU be better next year? Maybe...they lose their best player.
The "young" excuse is lame but true. Lost their best player last year in Andrew White and have arguably been more competitive. Add Copeland and Palmer next year to the freshman/sophomores and it's at the very least a very intriguing team.

What's ridiculous is a team made up of freshman and sophomores can hang with the #7 team in the country. After knocking off ranked maryland, Purdue, and Indiana.
I'll take this loss rather than a 20 point blowout as what should have happened.
Future is bright, not all doom and gloom.

26-4 free throw advantage for Michigan #refs
This. Also, this was a game where being young caught up with Nebraska. Michigan ran a stellar offense.

I agree, just opinion and no proof!
my original point was the 500 miles radius was being ignored as shown by my agreement in the prior post.
This isn't what you originally posted about. You said California kids use Nebraska as a placeholder.
Grim, Alston, Stanton. Nebraska focused heavily on California this year and ignored the 500 radius which Riley said he wanted to own.Okay so like Marquel Dismuke and Lamar Jackson?
and you haven't provided evidence of that.
Allen, NE
Mcquitty, MO
Only commits in 500 miles.
Zero Colorado, zero iowa, zero Minnesota etc for this recruiting cycle. It all seems to trend to CA.
Therefore I guess I generalized the 500 being ignored. Not many of the 500 choosing between us and another school this year.

Bando - forgot him good call

Watts - Texas
Leitao - decommited and is from Oklahoma

What 4 to 5 star players have we missed in the 500 mile radius? Just because we only have 3 does not mean we ignored the area.

Chester Graves is a 4* DE from Missouri...some would say a position of need.
