    Trying so hard to not get another suspension.

      It's pretty simple: Be civil towards others, and follow the rules. That generally works in real life too.

      I was about to make a sexual euphemism in a thread, but I figured that would have gone "too far" and I would be gone another 2 weeks or longer.

    Some further details coming out about the Baylor football team scandal. Nothing says team unity like drugging and gang-raping young women.

    I yelled at a parent at my daughter's school this morning because she parked her car in the drop-off lane.  I am a man!!!

      @ColoradoHusk are you waiting for us to ask if you're 40? If so, keep on waiting, busta.

    2. ColoradoHusk

      I am 41, but I wasn't trying to set up the question.  That is good though.  Now, get off my lawn!!!

    It's sad that NU is 11 yards from being 0-3 right now.

    1. knapplc

      knapplc

      Yet we're 11 points from being undefeated in regulation so what's the universe trying to tell us?

    2. knapplc

      knapplc

      But wait, it gets weirder - We're seven days from our fourth game, and 7+4=11.

       

      BUT IT GETS WEIRDER STILL!!!

       

      1hENbKJ.png

       

      You last "won the day" on 4/11. And when you win it again it'll be your 11th time.  And your current Rep is divisible by four, and the last two numbers are 4 and seven, which adds up to 11!

       

      WHAT IS HAPPENING?!?!?!

      Got to see him at Jazz Fest about five years ago.  This sucks

  8. ColoradoHusk

    I know the DPI on the fake punt was a terrible call, but how did the officials miss the Tanner Lee fumble at midfield early in the 2nd quarter?  He wasn't close to being down and he lost the ball.  NU caught a break there, and ended up getting a FG on that drive.

    1. RedDenver

      RedDenver

      If I'm remembering the play right, the refs ruled his forward progress stopped before the fumble, not that he was down.

    2. ColoradoHusk

      ColoradoHusk

      It's just weird that they ruled it that way when he's being brought down on a sack.  That call rarely happens.

    3. ZRod

      ZRod

      Except in the big 12 ;)

  9. ColoradoHusk

    In both of Riley's biggest "upsets" during his time at NU, his team was able to overcome a 12-point, 4th quarter deficit.  NU just needs to get to that 12 point deficit going forward.

    1. Thanks_Tom RR

      Thanks_Tom RR

      Don't worry. Riley's teams have a knack at getting behind early in a game (usually by multiple scores). Over 65% of snaps by the offense have been while trailing this season.

    2. knapplc

      knapplc

      That's a heck of a stat.

    3. JJ Husker

      JJ Husker

      This is one area where both sides of the ball are doing their fair share.......getting us behind early. Who knew that could be a positive.

    Frost to current players:  The vacation is over!!!

    1. Landlord

      Landlord

      Well technically he told them to go on Christmas vacation and enjoy it, then come back. So the vacation is starting?

    2. JJ Husker

      JJ Husker

      He also told them they would have more fun than they ever have.

       

      When I coached youth teams, those in charge always wanted it to be about having fun, not winning. I always asked my players, what is more fun than winning? Hard work doesn't seem hard at all if you get the payoff in the end.

    I think I will put my half UCF-half Nebraska shirt to good use today.

      Under or over your B1G conference sweatshirt and Go Blue Michigan gear? :lol:

    2. ColoradoHusk

      My B1G conference sweatshirt is a full zipper hoody, so I can easily take it off when I flip over to the Peach Bowl.

      I can always take off my sweatshirt and wear this!!!

    The guys from SpreadFootball.com have a podcast that is slightly focused on the mid-90s Nebraska offense, and how it was ahead of it's time.  I haven't listened to it yet, but I plan to this afternoon.  http://ronmckiefootball.com/tfp44/

    1. ColoradoHusk

      ColoradoHusk

      The what you will learn in this episode is very interesting:

       

      Why running the QB is a game changer

      How the QB counter is a deadly play

      Why Nebraska was ahead of its time

      How the defense hates playing against teams that have a running quarterback

       

      Funny how defenders of Callahan and Riley still liked the statue QBs.

    2. 4skers89

      4skers89

      If you can get past all the "you know", not a bad listen but probably the best part was talking about some of Osborne's innovations.

    3. JJ Husker

      JJ Husker

      Oh, so this is a Running Quarterback vs Statue Quarterback thing. Sorry, lately I get lost and confused if there isn't a vs in there.

    Average Big Ten teams keep giving Northwestern wins in the turnover game. 

    1. ColoradoHusk

      ColoradoHusk

      Although Purdue is moving the ball well against the slow Northwestern D. Frost will like this matchup against Northwestern’s D. 

    2. Judoka

      Judoka

      Hasn't that been Northwestern football for the last decade, don't make too many mistakes and let the other team beat themselves?

    3. ColoradoHusk

      ColoradoHusk

      @Judoka you are exactly right.  I guess I give them credit for playing smart, but the media acts like they are a great program.  Are they way better than what they used to be, yes.  But I don't know how "good" they actually are.  Plus, NW's 10-win seasons in 2015 and 2017 were helped by competing against 2 of the worst Nebraska teams in the past 50 years.

      Have you seen the article about how he tricked Texas coaches when he was at Oklahoma with a fake call sheet. The dude is just amazing.

      @Minnesota_husker I skimmed thru that article about Leach vs. Texas in '99.  It was great.

      @Minnesota_husker preferably one that has a CWS-quality team two years in a row in a non-P5 conference, but isn't invited to the tournament for mercurial reasons?

       

      Or am I reading too much into this? :D

    I found an online hack for Chrome which turned my Twitter feed back to the old format.  It's great!  Sorry, I can't remember the hack, but I am sure you can find it online.

    Watching the live stream of Nebrasketball in Italy right now.  I have no idea who any of the players are, but they look long and athletic.  The team looks like they haven't played together much, but they push the tempo a lot and half-court sets involve a lot of guys out on the perimeter to create space for a deep post-up or drive and dish.

    1. JJ Husker

      JJ Husker

      You had me at "they now have something resembling an offensive game plan".

    2. wiuhusker

      wiuhusker

      it will be interesting to see how the offense develops as the year goes on. There are some pieces there that have some potential this year. 

    3. ColoradoHusk

      ColoradoHusk

      I'm not expecting much this year.  It's a totally new system with totally new teammates, and some key guys will be sitting out as transfers.  I expect the big jump in 2020-21.

  22. ColoradoHusk

    Dedrick Mills going with "The Program" move and carrying a football around with him all week.  I appreciate the fact he understands how important ball security is.

    1. TonyStalloni

      TonyStalloni

      Also inviting anyone to knock it out of his hands.  I hope he doesn't get cramps in his arm.

    2. VectorVictor

      VectorVictor

      @TonyStallonithat's kind of the point. He's inviting anyone and everyone to knock it out, and he needs to learn to hold onto it. 

       

      Gotta love the determination from the kid. Hope others take ball security just as serious going forward. 

    3. NUance

      Just the football?  I think anything Mills holds onto should be fair game.

    Interesting tidbit on the roster from the LJS, 93.4% of the returning players will have used their redshirts.  Frost is definitely trying to get the roster to mature, while also still be "young" eligibility-wise.

    1. Atbone95

      Atbone95

      He knew this was a long-term rebuild. No sense in wasting eligibility when the outcome wasn't going to change. Smart dude. 

    2. NUance

      NUance

      With the (relatively) new 4 game allowance to play, there's really no reason to burn a redshirt.  Unless the guy is so incredibly talented as a true frosh that you can't keep him off the field.  Or there is a drastic need. 

    3. Atbone95

      Atbone95

      "Unless you're Wandale, you're probably redshirting" - math checks out

      Yeah that was kinda cool.  Pretty sure that security guard would've had much stronger opinions about it though. Quite a few good name drops.
