Those wacky Sanders boys

[3fingershomer]

ICYMI. Not Sanders family related but interesting story regarding Warren Sapp.

Warren Sapp set to sign new contract with promotion under Deion Sanders at Colorado

The Hall-of-Famer is set to receive a promotion on Deion Sanders' coaching staff at Colorado, as he revealed in a recent podcast appearance with Uncle Luke

www.si.com

20 hours a day Warren? Guessing someone at Miami was familiar with Warren’s work habits. lol.

I desperately hope 2025 is the year we can all say our head coach’s best win at NU isn’t over Deion Sanders

Odd. I seem to remember you telling us how “Prime” was a great coach and no one would pick Rhule to beat he (and Fickell too) before the season. How the narrative has changed.

We need to beat better than Deion to get where we want to go.

Do you disagree?

 

[Vanhusker]

Yes! FFS can we beat Peejay, the I_wa KKK wizard and some actual good coaches?

 

[Dean Pope]

Do you disagree?

Who's a better coach on our schedule than Neon Deion? Some posters on here thought NU was crazy stupid not to hire him.

Both Michigan schools, Minnesota, Lincoln Riley, Rhule’s child molesting alma mater all on the schedule this year

Will be interesting to see if and when we can match Deion’s 9 wins last year - more than any coach has achieved at NU in nearly a decade

I was raised Catholic. Does that mean I get credit for the child sex abuse scandal?

Only if you deify a priest who enabled decades of abuse on his watch

If we played their schedule last week we would have won 2 more than we did this year.

Does it have to be directly enabled? What if it I was unaware of the abuse when it was taking place, but it took place at my church? Are my contributions and money now scathed, am I destined for hell?

Rhule was unaware at the time, but it’s cringe to have him keep talking about Joe Pa like he does. I get it - Joe was considered a legend before everyone found out how he handled the situation. Character is formed by your actions when no one is looking.

We had a HC, put a gun used in a crime, in his desk drawer, keep a rape relatively secret, and had a woman abuser top running back suspended for only 6 games? What is the difference between ignoring horrible behavior vs. aiding and abetting horrible criminal behavior?
It is amazing to me how we, as fans can hold others to a higher standard than the standard we hold our own to.

Horrible is horrible, just don't act sanctimonious when it involves our own vs someone else.

Yeah, but those didn't involve children. Big difference. It's like prison. All kinds of deplorable scumbags in prison who've done all sorts of horrible things. But the child molesters are really frowned upon.

You can justify it all you want, my comment or more directed towards the “ actions when no one‘s looking” of Tom Osborne. But apparently, as long as it doesn’t involve children, then integrity is intact.

It isn’t a justification just because someone points out that these aren’t necessarily moral equivalencies, and they aren’t. There is zero doubt TO was involved with a good deal of character issues and yes, criminals. From what I know, I don’t have a problem with the way LP was handled, and would like to know your issues with the “relatively silent” and what ever happened with the gun?

 

[king_kong_]

There is a clear correlation between the Penn St fanbase and the Nebraska fanbase when defending the questionable actions of their high profile coaches.

No, there isn’t.

Not even close.

TO was no saint, but his dealings were with adults in isolated incidents.

Joe pa’s best buddy was allowed to knowingly prey upon and ruin the lives of innocent children for decades.

F*ck all the way off with this notion, tuco.

And @timnsun you actually agree with this? Good lord.

The reason I agreed with it is simply because you went full troll by claiming Tuco was trying to normalize fondling kids.

I’m trying to put the best construction on your posts but sometimes you make it impossible to do so with your over the top rhetoric.

You have won. I don’t like myself when I engage with you because you are crazy with your over the top posts. I have no other choice than to put you on ignore for my own sake. Congrats.

Why don't you take a real stand and stop supporting Matt Rhule and Nebraska football? You seem to be pretty invested for someone that has such a problem with the NU HC. Seems like a bunch of 2025 drama to me. Make a big deal out of something that you really don't care about.

 

[Landomatic]

It's not as black and white as you're trying to make it. I'm just pointing out that there are varying degrees of integrity and it is universally known that child molestation is the worst of the worst. Even among prisoners.

 

[TampaBaySkers]

You bitch about Rhule and other Penn St alums glorifying Paterno but the deification of Osborne within the Nebraska fanbase is somehow absolved. It is comical, because it is rationalized by nothing more than well I am a Nebraska fan.

I am not at all defending Paterno's actions nor am I defending Sandusky's sickness, just pointing out the hypocrisy of the Nebraska fan base, especially when Tom Osborne is involved. There is a clear correlation between the Penn St fanbase and the Nebraska fanbase when defending the questionable actions of their high profile coaches. It doesn't matter if you want to try to project the issue toward me. Providing a virtue amongst whores defense is perhaps the lamest of all defenses.

Well gees if you're going to make that ridiculous of a comparison why don't you just advocate for them being to haveade the playoffs then? I mean they were first in the big 12 - tied. Except everyone knew they were a joke.

 

[Laner2]

I hate the offseason.

Why would an NFL GM or owner listen to the media with regards to who they should draft or how their draft board is constructed? How stupid would you have to be to believe that anyone would think "the media" is the cause for a draft stock falling.

Hate Sanders, but the title is misleading.

He accurately pointed out a narrative (which I believe to be true), he wasn't blaming anyone.

 

[litespeedhuskerfan]

Shaduuuur isn't falling in the draft. He was always going to be 1 or 2. Doesn't mean i'd pick him there, or think he should go there, but somebody will take him at 1 or 2.

Maybe i'm way off, but maybe i'm also way closer than the idiots who think he's falling as far as that article suggested.

Agree, It has more to do with the level of the QB in this class. When teams need a QB and are willing to trade out of the top spot, that says the top 2 QBs aren't worth a top pick.

With stupid organizations like Cleveland and Las Vegas existing it’s entirely possible

 

[BTF69]

Right now is when everyone starts to get picked apart.

The NFL and media loves to do it, it makes sense, it gives them something to talk about.

 

[thall_]

In general this draft class feels super weak.

I think Abdul Carter has a good chance of being the best player when we look back in a few years.

 

[Huskerfan2112]

Has Shiloh fallen out of the top 10 as well?😬

Top ten rounds?

Well you have to blame somebody. You can't expect him to take any accountability.
