    NU adds grad transfer Safety Tre Neal from UCF....

    What's the down side? We are going from three under limit to two under limit on scholies for 2018. If this kids sees even a couple meaningful snaps, the team gets a value with no real cost. (And it seems likely he will challenge to start.) Unless your kid is the walk-on third in line for a...

    Nebraska @ Michigan - 9-22-18

    In 2013, we took a freshman qb to the Big House for his third road game against a Top 25 team and left with a victory. Probably not the way to bet, but never say never.

    Sam M advice to Chin on a 4-2-5

    Your concern is that sometimes the peso would have to play the run and sometimes it would have to play the pass. Pretty much all forms of defense ask linebackers to do that with running backs and tight ends. Hell, we ask defensive ends to do it zone blitzes. The option was great at forcing...

    Maurice Washington

    Does it involve a jar of peanut butter, a stripper named "Lola," and a certain lieutenant governor? Because I haven't heard that rumor, but would like to.

    Would Nebraska (Omaha) support

    I think there is enough money in Omaha, but not enough people who would be willing to spend the premium to go pro instead of Mavs. Similar to football- there aren't enough people who would spend more for pro than Huskers, and two games in a weekend is a bit much.

    LeBron or Michael

    Exactly. Evolution was mentioned earlier. There is misconception that is evolution is a straight line of improvement is some absolute sense. It's not. Animals evolve to fit their environment. In asking "Lebron or Michael" you have to qualify "1996 or 2018?" The skillset that may have...

    LeBron or Michael

    Listen, I don't really have an issue with anyone saying LeBron is better than Jordan. You're comparing different skill sets, different eras, different schemes, different teams, different rules, etc.. But that statement above is just plainly silly. Where you older than 12 when Jordan played...

    Best Non-National Championship Husker teams of all time

    People give the '99 team a lot of credit because the defense was great and Crouch was on the team. What people forget is that Crouch wasn't very good in '99 and the offense was outright awful. They forget that Southern Miss game, where the NU offense scored 6 points, had less than 200 yards...

    LeBron or Michael

    While we are talking about NBA greats, let's mention Phil Jackson. The guy has more rings than fingers: two as a player, eleven as a coach. Just looking at the second three-peat: Yeah, he had Jordan, Pippen, and Rodman on the second three-peat, but he built a dominant team with Luc f'n...

    LeBron or Michael

    I tend to side with the more recent eras when comparing players. There are generally more people to draw from, the training regimes have improved, the equipment has improved, the techniques themselves have evolved, etc.. You notice how no one ever claims that a track or swimming star from the...

    LeBron or Michael

    Rodman did it better than Shaq, while giving up 6 inches and 80 lbs. Shaq was a much better offensive player, but Rodman was the better big man defender and rebounder. Shaq was lost against any big man who could shoot from 10'. He was also irrelevant on a fast break. It was great watching...

    Iowa vs Nebraska is a rivalry

    There are a lot things that I don't like but are unimportant to me. I'm not going to go burn down a cilantro field.

    Iowa vs Nebraska is a rivalry

    My definition of "rivalry" means that you care about the game significantly more than you care about any other game on the schedule. For years, that was Oklahoma. If you remove any of the emotion from it, it made sense because if we beat Oklahoma we had a very good chance of going to the...

    OT-I don't get the Bull Durham love.

    It might help if you titled the thread, "Popular and respected movies you just don't like" if you wanted those type of responses. For that, I'd go Gone with the Wind, Naked Gun series, Three Stooges, Dances with Wolves, There Will Be Blood, Remember the Titans, Training Day, ...I don't know...

    Best defensive lineman in husker history

    I vote Suh, but... It's worth noting that Suh's senior year was a massive leap from his junior year. My recollection is that he wasn't even first team AA going into his last season, at least on Steele's list. So it's not like he had 2-3 years of dominance. He was good, and stomping on the...

    Worst Nebraska head coach

    That's what I was going to post. Not only was his record mediocre (outside of the one year with Bobby "Mr. Touchdown" Reynolds), his players got a petition going to have him removed. My stepdad played for him, and thought he was awful, but didn't sign the petition.

    Tanner Lee

    All of this. And, to be clear, the Riley offense is a mitigating factor in my judgment of both Armstrong and Lee. Neither of them seemed to have good check down routes they could hit. I don't think anyone is saying that Armstrong is the better passer, but I think he was the better...

    The beauty od Husker Chalk Talk again

    I thought his defense of Tanner was awfully forgiving: Lee finished at 50% on 16 of 32 passing and of course the now customary bizarre Pick 6, but that included three drops, two throwaways, and five balls that were perfectly on location but simply broken up by Wisconsin’s tight coverage.
