I agree!!

the trolls are going to vomit all over that thread 

will the basketball team get as many conference wins as the football team did?

IMO that's a problem with football in general... too many penalties and too many opportunities for results to change based on those penalties.

I still watch the hell out of the sport but I think it's a valid concern with the sport.

The blind side block penalty in the Denver KC game last night was total BS.  Yes, it was a hard block.  But, the guy was in a position that he could have made a tackle if not blocked.  And, the blocker blocked came from the front and blocked him in the chest.

Not sure how that's a blind side block.  That's the situation that's a problem with many of these penalties.  

I was watching the Raiders and Washington game and Crosby for the Raiders hit the QB right as he threw and tackled him to the ground.  They called a roughing the passer because he fell on the QB.  Complete BS.  

He really does resemble Rex. I'm surprised we haven't offered.

Back in the Riley Range

Tough crowd.  Star rankings can be taken with a grain of salt most years and this years rankings are probably more off than your typical year. 

I am sort of with you on this one, this looks like a really good MAC type class at the moment.  Either they suck at recruiting or Frost knows he has all the time in the world to get these guys ready as juniors and seniors. 

@JJ Husker I tried changing a setting on your account.  Did that change anything?

There is a function on your address bar with the two “A’s,” one is smaller font than the other. Tap that and It’ll have an option to request desktop or mobile. With that said, it still doesn’t prevent the pages from breaking 

edit: for iPhones 

@Mavric Nothing is changed.

@Savage Husker the Aa only gives me font settings, no option for desktop.

He keeps having success like he is and he will be able to have any job he wants.  The guy can flat out coach. 

I am sure he already gets plenty of calls from other college teams and even from the nfl.

Fitzgerald over Campbell for COY

The big Oline players, Big fast WRs, Big fast LBs, the Best QBs in the South and West Coast are all getting paid.  The best talent and biggest body players don't just go anywhere.  The South pays the best (to the family).  It's not super rich money, but it is good enough money.  The S&C is available everywhere. 

My bad. Yes, we could afford any S&C guy we wanted and we could more than likely sign them for the correct amount. 
 

I maybe don’t pay close enough attention but I’m not yet convinced Duval isn’t doing a pretty good job. He inherited marshmallows and it seems has made some decent  progress. I don’t feel like Iowa and some of the others pushed us around as much this year as in the past.

I have voiced my opinion about Duval and think we can/could do better.  Our players are getting stronger but their flexibility and quickness aren't being worked on enough IMO.  We look way to stiff and slow out there, especially on the OL.  

I'm torn on this one. I can't root for OU, but I can't root for UF, either.

Their players look way different than ours. They're either getting first pick on the playground and/or they're doing something more after they pick them. Same with Bama, Clemson, tOSU and a few others. There's a lot of teams we just can't compete with unless things drastically change.

That’s literally everyone but the top 5-6 teams in the country lol. Don’t get me wrong though we are especially bad. But yes. The talent difference is drastic. I think it may even out more if the playoff goes to a 6 or 8 team system. Maybe. 

Most "targeting" penalties I saw this year were less severe than that was.  Brutal hit.

Ehhhh, they rushed for 3.4 yards per carry...Illinois is hot garbage.  

LOL.  Herbert has a better mastery of trick plays than McCaffrey, IMO.  But seriously, watching the speed the players from both teams play makes me think our players are going at about 80%.  I don't know if it's a lack of depth or something else but it seems like we play at a 800m pace instead of a sprint.

Well...one team looks fast.

IDK, the Utes were flying around on defense.  They are kind of getting embarrassed though.

At the time, maybe not Martinez, but probably better than Gebbia.

You could argue that Martinez was better than Burrows last year (obviously that's changed significantly this year).

It is amazing what solid coaching and play calling can do for a player.

Also, I don't remember him really being open to transferring to Nebraska. I think Frost had a quote about it as well...something along the lines, "You think he is better than what we got?". I do know that Cincinnati was in play. 

If Burrow doesn't get hurt at OSU and goes in the Michigan game instead of Haskins his sophomore year, I think Burrow would still be OSU's QB.  What a crazy sequence of events that has lead us to this point. 

Also. I was telling my buddy today. Oregon recruits at a high level now and I don't think THEY are even close to elite level yet either.

The top 4 teams are SO far ahead of everyone else.

Yep...they have WRs and RBs that are bigger then our OLBs and can out run them like no other also.  

It is pretty discouraging watching what the athletes on most other teams can do. I mean Iowa friggin State (and many other non powerhouses) make our guys look inept. And don't get me started on kickers...wth happened to us that we can't even punt or kick?

Mccaffery needs to be the qb next year.  Martinez can go play for Fresno st he is a bum

"Bum"

OK.

This is the guy who led all Freshmen in all purpose yards in the Big Ten last year.

Sure.

"Bum"

he's not the same guy from last year for whatever reason.  to me, he is mitch trubisky.  he is a guy that has decided to be more of a QB and play from the pocket.  both of those versions of those guys are bums, yes.

Pretty sure that isn't going to happen

I’ve heard this rumor as well and I hope it’s true. GBR!

Nobody is more popular than the 3rd string qb

The part where the main page cut off this at "come home to my wife and Redux's wife..."  

It would be a lot hotter fo sho

Like....can we set that up?

New Glarus has a few other worthwhile brews in addition to Spotted Cow. I'd be surprised if they haven't migrated into Minnesota.

But guise.....he wants "good" beer like Busch and Miller 

O'Duls Amber may be more his speed

COME PLAY FOR US.......PLEASE.

Older the berry,  sweeter the juice. 

Meh.

I liked her shoes.  They're yellow.

Not going this year but went a few years ago...Did you have questions or were you just wondering?

I'm going.  In fact, we are doubling down with football that weekend and watching Ameer and Nate Gerry play on Sunday as well.

911 is a joke
