  1. Kaepernick is now planning to file a grievance against the NFL team owners for collusion since none of them want to sign him.  None of them want to sign me either, for the same reason.

      Actually, I don't pay much attention to the NFL anymore. The whole thing is too business like with a bunch of overpaid prima donnas. I barely make the time to watch my two favorite teams, Broncos and Packers, play every once in awhile. I watched all of about 5 minutes of the Denver game last night. I used to love the NBA and the NFL. I absolutely can't stand the NBA and the NFL does nothing for me. It's no longer a game played for pride.  There is no loyalty to anything except the mighty dollar.  The NHL is the only professional league I like. So I really don't care about Kaepernick or the NFL. And yes, I do think all of them should be more modest with their views. They play a damn game and get paid obscenely well for it. They should be thankful they don't have to really work for a living.

      And I'm not pretending the NFL doesn't put the clamps on controversy when it comes to marketing their product. What responsible business doesn't try to maintain a certain image? I just really don't feel this is anything approaching collusion or even the league putting clamps on controversy. My gut tells me he might be getting a little more opportunity without this issue but I also don't feel it is the thing keeping him off a roster. I sure don't think it's some wide ranging, league mandated blackballing. Maybe the lesson is, if you're a bubble player then you better fly a little straighter and not act like you're indispensable because you are. I would do the exact same thing with hiring decisions in my business. If I had 10 people apply for one job opening and they're all about equal skill and experience but say one has a history of work comp claims, why in the world would I choose the guy that presents a possible liability? That's not collusion, that's just the way life works. It shouldn't shock anybody.

  2. Funny how when Aaron Green left he was an immature traitor for leaving because he wasn't getting PT, yet it's the staff's fault Braylon Heard is leaving for the same reason, even though he'd likely be 2nd string this season. I'm not showing Heard any more love than I showed Green just because he stayed for one more season, sorry.

      Why? Ameer and Heard both played as Freshmen, so did Rex, so did Helu. It's not unreasonable to think that Newby and/or Taylor won't.

      I couldn't see him being effective with the whole playbook for a while, but I definitely think Newby will be lethal in certain sets. I really like Taylor, too.

      You have a camp of people that say the groin injury was a smokescreen. But there's no way to be 100% sure. Hard to blame the staff if the groin thing was 100% legit.

  3. No, it's not Taylor Martinez's fault we lost, and no, we wouldn't have won with Armstrong starting. Some people should engage their brain before they engage their mouth.

      The offense changes with who is taking the snaps. TA3 struggles, but yet the team wins and controls a game. TM struggles and we look like today and week 1-3

  4. $EC fans on Facebook are all talking about how weak the B1G is, and a few even threw out the notion that the only reason Nebraska looked so good was that they played a weak opponent. Other than Georgia in one half of football, none of their teams looked that great, but if LSU beating a team they're ranked above already by 4 points makes them feel dominant, more power to 'em I guess.

      I've always been fascinated that if games don't go the way they should in the SEC they rave about how deep they are, but if that happens in another conference, the top teams are not as good as we thought.

  5. Confession time: In my 29 years of living, I have been to exactly 0 Husker games. That number will increase by 1 on Saturday. I know, it's just McNeese State, but still... this is something I've been waiting all my life for.

      Thankfully they didn't really do any permanent damage, they just ripped the center piece out and left it wedged against the shifter (pain in the butt to get it back in place, but it wasn't damaged). I noticed the other day that the top of the piece was popped out, so I wonder if they didn't try it another time and get spooked. Probably somebody in this apartment complex.

  10. There are two types of NFL fans: Ones who understand the game of football, and Tebow fans. Sadly, Jacksonville has more of the latter than the former.

      Where the f else is the guy gonna go? He's got NOWHERE else to sign unless he's willing to sign as a special teamser. And now it sounds like even Jax has wised up.

    3. Hammerhead

      Hammerhead

      Jacksonville's not doing as bad in terms of attendance as everybody seems to think. Huskeraddict has it right. Bringing Tebow in and not addressing the QB problem in a practical manner will bring in Tebow fans for a few weeks until he gets benched. Winning will bring real fans in for years.

      Dropping some chump change on Tebow while actually drafting for the future would kill two birds.

      Rob is awesome.  He and I talked about the Glory days for several minutes.

      I've seen a lot of people on Facebook posting that they're glad Iowa lost last night, and our own fans are commenting on those posts reminding us that Iowa beat us and we went 5-7 this year. It's like some of our own fans are taking every opportunity they can to talk negatively about the Huskers.

      You gotta at least call Greg Byrne and make him say no.  Nebraska can offer more money (shockingly, Alabama is 'only' paying him $900k) plus a chance to bring Nebraska back to glory.  Plus, his dad was the AD here...just spitballing.  I don't blame Del Conte for turning down the Texas job, talk about inmates running the asylum.

  18. If you think Pelini should stay, fine. Difference of opinion, and I respect that. Is it really necessary to make your point by attacking the fans who disagree? That's arrogant, childish, and it does FAR more to hurt our fanbase than simply thinking we need a new coaching staff.
