STARTING LINEUP 2019 Starting Lineup Campaigning Thread

[Mavric 17,213]

Think you deserve a spot but are getting overlooked? Want to drum up support for your nominee? Here's the place - the ONLY place.

[knapplc 25,123]

My favorite thing about the Starting Lineup is when people forget about the Campaign Thread rules and beg for votes in the Status updates. 

[The Murphinator 1,558]

Hey guys. It sure has been a good year. If you would keep me in mind for a spot on the starting lineup I would greatly appreciate it. 

[Undone 970]

Hopefully it's ok to mention two people in one post. If not, please delete this.

But the two best posters on this board at analyzing college football in my opinion are @brophog and @BIG ERN.

Who put the sad face emoji on my post lol

[Landlord 9,788]

Vote for me and I will eye roll every post I can on a daily basis to make everybody lose their minds and descend into chaos and panic.

I thought you were already doing that.

[Redux 8,237]

It's time to vote Redux onto the coaching staff.  OC, DC or even HC will suffice.  It's my time, my time is now.  I can retire to the hall of fame once I make it onto the coaching staff.

[Hedley Lamarr 3,649]

I would like to take this time to thank each of you for your support over these last several years. I would not be half the poster I am today without the drive and determination that was instilled in me by several of you over the last several years. I am here to encourage each of you to both nominate me as well as vote for me when the time comes. HuskerBoard is a fantastic place that I thoroughly enjoy almost as much as Redux does. 

[CheeseHusker 536]

I have a 10 year streak of failure at this.... so... draw your own conclusion with that.

I concur sir, you got my vote.

 

On another note, I've been lucky enough to be voted onto the Starting Lineup two years in a row.  I've sacked QBs and stuffed the run.  I've caught passes from QBs.  I think it would be a natural progression to be the QB this season...

You got my vote for OC. That is the least I could after you nominated me for DC

[Ziebol 1,201]

Can we just have  @bazinga22 fill all positions? Nothing but the highest quality of posts and information.

Guys, you gotta vote for me for Offensive Coordinator.  We can't let Hedley win it.

Don't forget to vote for me for DC and Redux for OC

Am I doing this right?

[Redux 8,237]

You guise, if you select me as your QB, I promise to audible out of almost everything OC Hedley calls and call my own plays like Black 41 Flash Reverse and the Oopty Ooop!

[TGHusker 2,399]

I think we need to add  AD to the list of available positions - so we can nominate some of those retired folk not named Landlord

[RedDenver 3,256]

After a good year at OG, I feel I'd make an excellent RB this year. Like the Fridge carrying the ball.

Besides nominations for AD  perhaps @Mavric  can think about nominations for Special Teams - the unskilled positions - the guys running down like a kamikaze on the kick off to lay the wood to an unsuspecting kick off returner. That is kind of how I played football in HS - I played OLB or Free safety (besides Tight End - two way back then in small town SD football).

Kind of like this

Job Descriptions

 

Defensive Special Teamer (Gunner):

• Insane - Have you ever seen these idiots play football? They run as fast as they possibly can down the field in order to run into an oncoming wedge/defender head on! But, busting up a wedge to allow another player to make the tackle on the returner is very important. This poster probably has some weird and wild ideas, but still get the job done. Eric Martin is just the most recent example of this position, but Brandon Rigoni may be the best.
• Speedy - Once the ball is in the air, the defensive special teamers need to get to the ball as fast as possible to either make the tackle or down a punt close to the opposing goal-line. There's nothing that frustrates a coach more than giving the other team 20 free yards! We need someone who is a speed poster and has the body control and ability to down the ball inside the 10!
• Young - Coaches love to use true freshmen on special teams. Normally they don't want their skill players getting hurt on a kick/punt coverage or returning. I think this position should be filled by a "rookie" of HuskerBoard - maybe someone who has only been here for 3 months or less...longer if we can't think of anyone.

Great - I didn't realize that was one of the positions and the Job description is what I was thinking of  - esp the insane part.

Exactly the type of QB we dont need in this offense...seems like a good fit at Oregon State

Why, because our idiot AD hired you from Oregon State after your 2nd stint there following a failed pro run? Pass

[Scarlet Overkill 1,748]

I want to be the “get back” coach on the sidelines.  Is there a category for that?

[AlaSker 84]

Is there a walk-on spot???

 

That would be sweet.

 

EDIT: Not a lot of rep. but what that person has posted has made an impact.

[TGHusker 2,399]

Thanks for the nomination for DE.  I played a bit of it in HS as a our D formation basically had OLB move up at times to rush the passer and help wt run support.   I do remember blind siding one QB - that was fun. 

Kind of like this play
