Sipple puts the talent argument to bed

[Count 'Bility]

We have talent. Just not enough. And its missing from key spots. And it may "look" imposing in August as it has for years, but doesnt materialize in november. Been this way for years. Its not deep. Lack of depth isnt just a talking point. It creates preparation issues. Scout team, etc. Mentality is also part of talent. IQ is part of talent.

We have talent. Its never been said we dont. I think the point is that were not a talented team. Dinardo can say what he wants about a random august workout. Sipple can defend all he wants. All i have to go off of is 9 games. Nebraska is not s very talented team right now.

Does anyone else actually watch the games?

From 2011-2014, NU was 3rd in the B1G with blue chip players........ It's not talent guys. Damn, it's the staff...........

 

[Count 'Bility]

I think i saw a tweet yesterday by someone that were only suiting up 57 scholly players on the 105 tonight. If this is true, does anyone with any roster sense understand how embarrasingly abysmal that is?

But yeah. Lots of talent.

Well.....there "might" be a slight difference this year........wouldn't ya say? Or maybe I just don't recall being 3-6 in a while.......

how many are still here? How many have developed to make a contribution.
Ppl wanna spew rankings all the tome. No one wants to dig down. Its been laid out by CoachPowerT in a thread on this very board. Bos best two classes-12 and 13-have turned out to be massive failures.

BTN breezed in for an afternoon in August to do their annual preview segment of the Huskers. During the segment, Gerry DiNardo pays a complemint to our linemen. And from this we're supposed to draw the conclusion that "Sipple puts the talent argument to bed"?? Ha ha! That's rich.

There's a little more to the article than the one opinion I quoted. Here's some more:

I considered Nebraska a contender to win the Big Ten West Division. In cleveland.com's annual preseason poll, NU was picked second in the West and received five of 40 first-place votes.

None of the media that regularly covers the team predicted it. That includes 20-some people who watched several practices in August. I know of nobody in that crowd who predicted the Huskers would win fewer than seven games total.

But if it makes you feel better to call our student athletes "untalented", go for it.

I would advise you not to put words in my mouth.

I was very careful not to put words in your mouth and I will continue to avoid it.

No you weren't. You were being a tool telling him he was making fun of our poor defenseless student athletes.

Wrong. Read it again.

If so, we are YEARS from getting competitive.......

Anyone with roster sense would realize that the vast majority of teams have at least 28 scholarship players that are redshirting or injured.

As been posted to death, we are no more or less for guys leaving/ not panning out. The point is, talent is on the roster. You think TA is being allowed to p,at to his true potential? What happened to Wilbon? Where'd Zo go? I hope he buries MSU for 200 yards today?

No way we have this poor of talent to have the worst record since I've been alive and watching the Huskers. Also thought Riley was a great developer of talent.

I'll never believe we are that void of talent to lose to Purdue. They hung 50 on us. If so, we better get ready for some 4 win years because sub par coaching with crappy talent is a great recipe for success and recruiting....

Just saying something is wrong doesn't make it so. That comment makes you a tool. At least in the moment you make it. I'm guessing there are moments when you're alright.

I didn't mean to imply that you were wrong about me being a tool.

It's the other part that was wrong.

The other part wasn't wrong either. I edited my post but I'll say it again. You claimed/implied that Nuance said we're untalented and that makes him feel better. He did not say we're untalented. He said the article doesn't put the argument to bed. Hence you put words in his mouth.

Sipple has his hands full putting himself to bed.

I don't care who you are, that's funny right there...

If the talent is there then we wouldn't be starting a record number of walkons. End of story.

So the walkons have no talent? Are you saying Janovish isn't more talented than a lot of scholarship players on other teams?
Silly statement. "End of story" makes it even more comical/

There are always exceptions. Walkons have talent. But do they have enough talent to win a championship? Win against teams like Ohio State or Alabama? If you haven't noticed the teams that recruit top classes every year are the ones winning championships.

How many of the 97 team who had at least one start were from Nebraska?

Gerry has many years of experience at a very high level. He knows what superior talent looks like at first glance. I played baseball through college. I can watch 2 pitchers throw a 20 pitch bully and decipher who has the better "stuff" based on that quick evaluation. So I very much believe the opinion of a seasoned coach and analyst. But if it can somehow still be Bo's fault then fans like you will be content until Riley is shown the door.

I think there is a lot of talent on this team. The problem, as I see it, is that it is stacked in only a few positions i.e. WR, & DT. There are gaps in the line up at other positions.
