Fine cancel the B1G games but why cancel non-conference games then?  What do the networks say about this loss of content?

It took a lawsuit to get this information public when it should of been transparent from the get go.   Why?   They go through all the work of making a schedule and then cancel 5 days later?    What changed during that time?   It's nuts.   Not impressed with the leadership of the B1G.

I am pretty sure if Nebraska had an internal draft. Created 2 husker teams and had a "scrimmage" every saturday. We would fill the stadium. 

I had the same thought.   I love that idea.   I also had a crazy idea of creating a bunch of 8 man football teams from our roster and playing a round robin tournament.   That would be fun.

I get it, when you are 20 it is really hard to be like "Oh no, when I am 45 I might have issues because of this virus" 

Lots of truth to that as evidence by my pizza-nacho-fried food diet for the last 30 years.

Observationally, John Q. Public is becoming less and less worried about this, even knowing full well the risks...essentially it is becoming a "LEAVE BRITTNEY ALONE!!!!!" mantra and just plow ahead. I am fence riding on this as I get both sides, selfishly I want normalcy but cognitively strive for common sense...I guess this is where 'Merica is on the see-saw

Totally agree.  I was on the extremely cautious side of things but now I think I have seen enough to plow ahead and open things up.   I think proposed guidelines for risks groups are okay but let the 45&younger that are healthy go.  Go the Sweden route. 

So according to the following I would say people of advanced age and with comorbidities should stay at home.  Everything else should open up.  Play football!

Warren has to go. 

Thanksgiving start makes no sense to me.     Start it like usual, monitor and go from there.

Need Carnie 

Agree,   I think Carnie has a lot of upside. 

Congrats Mr.  Rollins.

More of an inline tight end which is a good compliment to Fidone.     Helps to restock the shelf now as we have 3 JR TE"s

Payton is intriguing on D, not as a QB.

I like that.  I think he would make a good LB similar to Gifford.     I have no problem offering guys as athletes and fitting them in as needs dictate like Bretz(OLB/SAF)

Guys, I was kidding!

 Yes, it's a little early to be picking 6 but  there's no season on the horizon and there's no ripe prize county fruit on the recruiting branches within sight so idle musings is what you get. 

Fidone number 1 in my future super six.   Teddy 2, Henry 3 and Kpai 4.   Haven't made up my mind for 5 and 6 yet.   

Really like Fidone's hands and body control.   Also seems like a down to business, hard working kid.  

Sweet!    Nebraska just got better.

I don't think he'll be playing safety.  We're about to have an OLB flipped and don't have many prospects there left with no visits happening. .  I expect Koby to slot at OLB.

Perhaps!  You may be right but I think they will put him at safety to start with and they can move him up a level if needed just like Luke Gifford or Wright which someone else has mentioned.    We only have 12 DB's if you count the incoming recruits and discount the 3 Sr's,  so we need the numbers there.  Koby would make 13 which is still less than optimum.  Really should have around 15.   I think the OLB room is in a little better shape as far as numbers.

I do think he is best at run support vs coverage which would tend more towards OLB but he also would need to size up    I think he would do fine in zone coverages and playing center field so that's why I think they start him at safety.    Either way I am glad he is on board.  

Nice!   Congrats to Koby!   Supports fast and is physical.   Good down hill safety.   I'm thinking similar to Clint Finley?

This offer makes a lot of sense to me.    In this day and age with Covid I could see where you might want to offer some local kids as they may be less likely to change their minds.    The DB's numbers are barely in the green and there is room for more DB's.  It's like insurance.  Plus he has good size and like others have suggested he fits the role of safety or could add some size to be a  drop OLB.    I think it's a bedrock offer.   Solid.   Would love to see him commit. 

If I understand correctly the rumor is they will propose to start the season in the middle of 'flu' season in enclosed arenas that you would have to fly too rather than during a warmer time period where  the virus has a tougher time to survive outside the host.   Okay let me think about that one.

Well this is one of those conspiracies in broad daylight. Companies pay Google a bunch of money, and Google puts them at the top of the Results for specific search keywords.

 

If you type in the name of a restaurant, you'll get hijacked to Door Dash, Grub Hub and Menu.com websites. For any hospitality business, you'll get a page of Yelp reviews before they list the actual business website. First half dozen results of any Google search are typically Sponsored. Some companies pay for keywords that have little to do with their business. 

 

It's hard to decide who to hate more, Google or Amazon. At the moment I think Jeff Bezos is more dangerous. 

 

 

Interesting, I didn't know that.

Also you may be right about Amazon.  

I am of the thought that it is danged if you do and danged if you don't. 

So I don't see the harm in letting schools who want to compete play especially with other conferences playing.  It's not like each region is operating in their own bubbles.  If the others want to opt-out that's fine that is their choice. 

It's like the casino gambling in Council bluffs.  Omaha can't do it due to Nebraska laws.  Omaha suffers from the problems of gambling without enjoying any of the tax benefits.

I don't know that you necessarily need to reset it.  If you can just tell me what the IP is I'll see if I can get it cleared out (if that's what the issue is).

Mav - I  deleted Opera and I am moving on.  I don't want to put you towards any trouble.  I do appreciate the  offer but hate sharing stuff about my address and what not so will respectfully decline further follow up.    Don't want Warren after you. 

Chamberlain - I have to confess I am one who subscribes to the google conspiracy theory that they are evil.  It started years ago when I was try to get hurricane news.  When I typed in national hurricane center it would not return the NHC site on the first page of the results or the 2nd.   I got 3 pages of New York Times,  Guardian and some other news agencies of a similar bent before it would list the NHC.  Something seriously wrong there!   I still use google chrome though so what does that say?

Looks like he had sticky hands to me.    Good pick up.   I didn't necessarily think we needed another WR but it's a good pick up.   We should be full at that spot now.

Has a strong thick build and probably could be a DB too.  I like him at WR though because of his hands.  

I reset my router and modem not too long ago and was playing with proxy server settings and network settings and I think I ended up with a new external IP.   It shows banned on a couple of sites as a dynamic IP address.  I have run malwaware,bitdefender and avast free software and I didn't find any virus or malware.  I did have my email highjacked awhile back as I stupidly posted my resume online with it but think I have that cleared up?  I will try and reset that stuff again or the next week or so when I have time.   I can't remember my router password and don't want to reset it again.    Going to delete the opera browser.  Not sure what's the deal with that.   Thanks for your response.  

Thank you.   I will check it out.  I must of picked up a virus.   I will let you know what I find in the next couple of days. 

So I have been trying out browsers recently because Google AD's and analytics have become overly intrusive and aggravating.  For some reason Opera gives me a banned message when I try to visit this website.   What's up with that?  I can get to huskerboard on google chrome/brave and safari but not opera.  Weird.    

I appreciate the posting of data links for the excess deaths from everyone and the productive discussion. 

It's interesting how folks react to this situation.  I am getting my walks in and reaching better weight&blood pressure via healthy groceries rather than sedentary office work& chowing on fast food&pizza all the time.   I understand my brothers have leaned up as well.  I see a lot of people walking in the neighborhood now as compared to previous years.   

Incentive for some for others not so much.
