Anonymous B1G coaches' observations

Allen has 2 years left. Iu isn't buying him out this year. Hope he stays forever.
Allen is done after this year. He knows it and so does everyone else.

His only "Crime" was that he did "well" when what he should have done is nothing.
 
If you didn't post anything about Purdue, and just "read up on Nebraska" it would be different. But you come to a Nebraska board and want to tell us all about your middle of the road program and quite frankly, IF I wanted to know anything more about your middle of the road program, I would research it for myself.

Since this is a Nebraska board, you will typically find Nebraska fans discussing all things Nebraska, which would include opponents. As a Nebraska fan, I will look at Purdue in a different light than you do. Again, if I want accuracy, I wouldn't ask a Purdue fan, because they will give me their version of accurate which is going to be slanted toward Purdue being a better program than they really are.

Similarly, if I were a Purdue fan, getting info on Nebraska from a bunch of dudes that love Nebraska, probably isn't going to be the most unbiased and down the middle analysis. So it appears that you are wasting your time. Any info you will get on here is going to be opinions at best.

I live in Texas, you know what message boards I never visit? Every school in the state of Texas. When I lived in Oklahoma, did I visit the OU and OSU message boards? Nope.

I am left to believe that Purdue, doesn't have a very active online community. So you come on here so you can talk about your team to people who you believe to be interested in your team. Outside of a couple who have responded they like it, the rest of the responses have been that we don't care about your squad.
So this isn't a place to learn about the players and coaching staff? Where can I go to read up on them then so I can talk to peers?

GBI is one of the most active On3 communities out there actually. I read plenty there.

They aren't paying his buyout. It's like 20 mil. Every iu fan knows he is back barring a 1 win season.

Nope. This is a place where 1 guy is going to tell you this is a 4 win team at most because the OLine sucks. Then another is going to tell you that this team is going to win 10 games. Then a few are going to tell you that Nebraska will be 6-6. You will have nothing but opinions from 1 end of the spectrum to the other, from one position group to another. Some will be overly excited about Matt Rhule and some will think the hire was poor. Some will tell you that the 3-3-5 is going to get blasted by the power running teams, then others will say it is going to be fine.

Again if you want to read a bunch of opinions with very few facts so you can "talk to peers" I am not sure this is the place to get accurate info.

I have no idea WTF a GBI is, so I will assume it is some sort of Purdue site. I just know that this place is fairly active and I don't read all of the threads on here, so I wouldn't have time to be on another team's board.

We are the greatest fans in the country and will treat visitors with the utmost respect and congeniality on game days in Lincoln.

I think Rhule is a good hire. Probably 5-7 wins this year for Nebraska and Purdue imo. GBI is the former rivals Purdue site, now on3 and connected to boiler alliance (NIL collective)
 
Agreed. Way too wordy. I don't think an opposing coach would be talking about the big picture of our program.
The only one I remember was when supposedly someone called us the all-bus team, and they knew it was only a matter of time before we shot ourselves in the foot. I could see someone saying that … I don’t feel any of these descriptions were off the record coach speak.

The all-bus team would have been from an actual observation. I have a hard time believing that a coach in the Big 10 knows that Rhule has re-energized the culture. Without playing any games what are they basing that on? The newspaper?

These guys all know each other or they know guys that know guys. You are looking at a network of about 1000 D1 coaches or so that are on staffs.

I know they love to pretend how professional and buttoned up they all are but the times they get to be themselves is when they are talking to other coaches because they are all in the same boat.

You should see it at the HS level. You say one thing to your players and then when you chat with other coaches you are honest. "We are gonna suck this year"

I don't even coach FB anymore and in the last week have gotten texts from other coaches ripping on their team or ripping on teams they saw at camps.

Could Lindy's be making it up? Sure. Of course. But to think that D1 coaches are not regular people like the rest of us, well, they are.
 
I’ve mentioned several times about how I view the Hawks. I live in Iowa, have good neighbors who are hawks fans, I work with people who are Iowa fans and Nebraska fans and I have friends who are Iowa fans. Similar to BoilerN I stay up to speed with the Iowa program so I can discuss college football with them.

Would any of the aforementioned people think for one second that I’m an Iowa fan … no. Do they dislike the huskers…absolutely. Are they cool with me when we talk football and Huskers… yes, because they are sensible adults.

If Iowa is playing another team would I root for them? Yes, why not, since I spend time learning about their program and have several friends that are hawk fans. I will also typically root for any conference foe vs a game outside of a conference.

Your simple quiz isn’t needed, I don’t know much about Iowa history and frankly don’t care, I just like sending my friends memes with empty trophy cases and them being the KkK of college football and they make reference that I still live in the 90’s and we only have steroid-raged convicts playing for us.

It’s what makes college football fun and why I can’t wait for the season to start. The world is a better place when college football is in season and especially when our Huskers are competitive.
Were any of your hawkeye neighbors/friends part the group of adult iowa fans trying to wrestle the heroes trophy away from the husker players at Kinnick last season???
 
Truth. I was at the NU Indiana game in 2016 . Tailgating they were more concerned how the BB scrimmage was going than the football game was going to turn out.
I have a good friend that teaches out in Bloomington, dude lives like 4 blocks from campus and said on FB game days he can't even tell a game is going on.
 

“SORE LOSER IOWA FANS WON’T LET NEBRASKA PLAYERS CELEBRATE WITH TROPHY…”​

Um - I’m not an idiot and know the event happened. When I said my friends and neighbors were good people and sensible adults - i think it would go without saying that I didn’t know any of these knuckleheads. Every fan base has a small percentage of jackasses. Take yourself for example for our fan base. It’s a sad but true reality.

You’re nearly as amusing as your hawkeye buddies. You can’t find any stories of Nebraska fans behaving that way towards iowa fans or players. The mere existence of husker football in the bigten triggers most of them to no end.
