Would go out there to go skiiing with him every year. DMR- At the base of road that leads to Mt Rose- great spot. They were prolific passing team at that time and extremely well coached. He started as a Freshman- they were really good, kid was really good also. Sometimes our fan base gets out ahead of ourselves too much- weve been burned by what we considered "pedestrian" QBs far too many times. Sometimes you just love to find fault in our fan base because you're a bigger expert than anyone else. (at least in your mind) There is nothing wrong with being optimistic. That's what fans do. Again, what he did in HS doesn't have anything to do with how he's going to react on Saturday night. He might light it up and beat us by 20. Or, he might not have what it takes on Saturday night and we pull off a win. 4 1 1 Quote Link to comment

That's what fans do No worries- so when you or someone seriously claims something like they think we will win a National Title this year for instance- no need to politely like I did temper with facts their opinion a bit. Got it. Weve had a habit of letting pedestrian QBs go wild on us, its happened- never said it would happen. Just said he might have more skills than some are giving him credit for. No need to get your panties in a bunch. Not everyone is "foam finger" guy. Like you, Im hoping he falls on his face. Quote Link to comment

At the end of the day there have been lots of instances in the past when we were playing against someone who is perceived to be a bad QB- even second teamers. THen they go out and have a record day. The kid has skills, he's no chump. Not saying he's going to have a great day- saying he has potential- don't count chickens before they are hatched that we shut down the run and the game is ours. That is all I very politely said- no need to get uptight. Quote Link to comment

I clearly have said that he could come out and light us up and beat us be a bunch, or.....he might not. You then must have ignored half of my comments and only want to focus on what you think you're the expert on. 2 Quote Link to comment

It’s a strawman. No one has suggest anything crazy like winning a national championship, so you throw up a made up crazy and then argue against the crazy to make yourself seem reasonable. And you should probably stop calling other posters uptight and talking about their panties. 3 4 Quote Link to comment

HuskerPwr Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 I had a crazy thought that I would check this thread for updates and comments that were issued during the pressers this week. 2 1 Quote Link to comment
ndobney Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 Everyone said this is going to come down to the defenses, but I think it will come down to which teams scores more points. Quote Link to comment

Isn’t that what all games come down to? And isn’t that the result of the offenses and defenses involved? Oddly I agree with the sentiment though. It will come down to which team’s offense can move the ball and score points on the other team’s defense. (If one of the teams doesn’t give the game away with turnovers, special teams gaffes or stupid penalties) Quote Link to comment

Well, because this one time he met this one guy who's close friends with this other guy who's relevant to the current conversation, but not really to the overall discussion, but it's a not so humble brag to make him look cool, and that's why it matters more, and his opinion is basically expert since 1970.

Because the national championship game is January 10th, 2022, which is technically next year. I'm on your frequency. 2 Quote Link to comment
