Haarberg is going to be a heck of a TE
- Thread starter headcard
- Start date
Wow. Did you come up with that all by yourself?
Whatever the answer is, there is a 100% chance it ends with "and a half"
I'm trying to be tolerant of the little guy but damn he can be irritating. Hope he's not the grandson of one of my friends...
looks like he's already bulking up
Glad they are still letting these kids participate. Dannon must have been worried sick about the injury risk. The next game is only eight months away.
Well, we're still looking for offensive linemen.
First thing I thought too as well as he seems to have dropped the body fat percentage. I remember thinking he looked a bit pudgy during the contest last year. He definitely wasn't able to complete these same dunks last year. Took the weight vest off.
he bought that jersey last winter after he signed
wonder what Dana thinks seeing him bursting out of it after publicly stating DR "needs to get his body right"
Last year's winner Jeremiah Charles. Emmett Johnson, Incoming LB Dasan McCullough. Quinn Clark. One or 2 others.

Guess again. If Haarberg had injured a knee last night, that would be the last dunk contest you would ever see. I played college athletics years ago and we were not allowed to do anything like this if we were on scholarship.
I am not against this dunk contest. But it's ironic that it happened right after that danger of the spring game stuff came out.
I know this is from December 28th, but there is a difference between getting ridiculed by the board and getting told by @king_kong_ that he is our best QB
The chances of one of these guys getting hurt in a dunk contest are incredibly small. Probably more likely moving stuff into their dorm room. It's not like they are playing a pick up game.
My point is if there is no spring game it isn’t because of a desire to protect against injuries, no matter what anyone else says. That’s just a cover. And to actually think they won’t do any scrimmaging to avoid injuries is just silly.
This was right after he won the winter offseason national championship. Strong odds to follow it up with a spring and summer off-season national championship.
I agree with you. That's why I asked-- Are they scrimmaging? Yes? Then sell me a ticket to that. I'm just so annoyed with the injury argument. The media guys all brought up those two names of the guys that got hurt and blaming the spring game.... were those even contact injuries?
The question is why do they really not want to do a spring game?
HH seems like a genuine good fun dude.
Also, converting to TE from QB worked for former Husker Zach Miller and he did it in the NFL and became a top tier TE in the league before one of the most brutal injuries ever.
Edelman did for slot.
This can be done. Pulling for HH. Looking forward to all the HH haters on this board the last few years to eat their words and pretend they weren’t shitty to the kid. Never seems to amaze me the same guys that will rip a kid are the same guys that get their panties in a bunch when you talk shit about a coach.
Hoping he has an elite SR year but really hoping they find he was actually “injured” in 22 or 21 😉

Excellent question. The point of a spring game is to perform in front of a live audience. This is something teams take for granted. Playing in front of strangers adds an element of pressure. Stage fright is real. Sure guys can do it in practice behind close doors.
Miss a tackle, drop a pass, throw a pick, miss a FG, or get blown past on a block and look foolish in front of 90k+. How will you react on the next play? Will you go yellow? Will your head start swarming? Can you do it under the gun with a large amount of people judging you? If you don’t practice the same way you play a real game, how can you understand what to do or fix mistakes?
Nebraska has had years of chocking. Mostly has not been a lack of physical ability, it’s mental. You’ve got to work that out. Take Neyor last year, a ton of drops. Bet he makes most of those catches easily in practice. But something happens when you’ve got to do it in front of people and the pressure is on. A spring game is the one shot you get to practice that.
Are Coaches really too afraid of giving the opponents tape? or coaches too afraid of injuries that they forget the reason to actually have a spring game? Or are they really afraid of the fans response and the heat they will face until fall? Will fans exceptions be too high? Will fans see a shit product and the heat in the summer be more than coaches want to deal with?

Gotcha, sorry, I was not fully comprehending your argument previously. Makes sense now, and I agree with you.
