Agree, 100%. Unfortunately, some guys have agendas.
Urban Meyer talking about Haarberg
- Thread starter mgbreis
- Start date
See the accurate, factual post above this one as a big reason why.
You just got done running a victory lap on me, Timmy. Now you’re up in arms about the very same thing.
Typical
Just post the goods… You don’t have to try to troll a wide swath of husker fans. It always, and I mean, always turns into this kind of thread. Just post the goods and be done with it, because you’ve got a lot of goods to post, which I and many husker fans appreciate.
After leading in 100% of the games won last year it is both dumbfounding and appalling to me that Husker fans could shit on this Nebraskan playing for his just to get back at Kong.
Shameful.
Go Haarberg!
Shameful.
Go Haarberg!
This.
Kong has many great insights, but is so thin skinned.
Calling Boxes a troll, JFC!
Boxes never suggested our starting QB kill himself after 4 interceptions, you, Rambo, did.
It is hard to keep you out of my ignore bin for that travesty alone. I often enjoy your stats and commentary, but too often you go for a victory lap, thinking you won, but in fact came in last place, so far behind that you cannot see anyone in front of you.
A hint, the ones in front of you are all on their first user name.
Cheers kong
@king_kong_ I'm not a hater bud. And I don't hate you. I wish the best for HH.
He’s actually looked a lot better throwing the ball this year.
This coaching a development is new for us at the QB position. Who would have thought a WB could get better from their freshman year. HH showing it’s possible.
@king_kong_
I am not a hater of you either, I especially appreciate your candid sympathy and concern last Winter in my crisis.
Sometimes these circular arguments end up in one completely losing control in a round-a-bout and crashing far beyond the boundaries.

There is a genuine person there, but seems to relish in acrimony.I still think Kong lives under a bridge
Kong was first to reach out to me at Christmas in my crisis here, and that will never be forgotten.
The guy that crashed in the round-a-bout, well, they have not allowed a third name for that guy.
On one hand, I feel for HH that he lost the Nebraska starting QB job. He is a great guy, a great teammate, and hasn't whined about things now. Reminds me a lot of Brooke Berringer. On the other hand, when I went to UNL no one knew who I was, I was always broke, I cut up my couch cushions to find 11 cents to buy mac and cheese one time, and I had to work hard to find dates with girls. Heinrich is doing way better than most college students in all areas, he just is no where near the QB Raiola is. No shame in that and he will always be one of my favorite Cornhuskers.
Probably the thing I respect most about HH is he could have done the easy thing and transferred to UNK and been the big man on campus, and likely been a top notch NAIA player with a ton of pub.
He probably could have started at 4-5 different positions. I'm not looking forward to the day when HH has to come in and bail out an injured or subpar DR, but I feel a hell of a lot better with him under center now than last year. I also think the team believes in him and will rise to the occassion.
So, he should just post the stuff you agree with? And keep everything else to himself? Seems like a bit of a cancel culture approach to things. Do we all have to fall in line with your way of thinking, or just @king_kong_ ?
wrt Haarberg, I doubt he had much quality coaching as a quarterback in high school. That continued with Verduzco, then Whipple ghosted him. Satt was basically filling in as a QB coach for the one they didn’t get. So he really didn’t get a chance to develop as a college quarterback in the way Raiola has. He would likely be playing behind McCord had we not signed Raiola.
I lived on 1 loaf of bread and 1 package of bologna and cheese for over a week one time. Many days my lunch was a 59 cent bean burrito and a glass of water at the 27th street Taco Bell while riding my bike to campus. Yeah, it would have been great just to eat at the training table and I would have loved to practice and lift instead of working that crappy work study job.... Never mind the obvious coed benefits afforded the football players. A guy in my house was an O linemen on the team and beautiful girl after beautiful girl would show up at our door looking for him. He would literally hide to avoid them.

Compared to the way I grew up the first 11 years of my life, bread, bologna, cheese, and a burrito every day would have been a feast.
Maybe that's why you and I, and many of our generation were determined to become successful.
I think they are grooming HH for a position change next year. DK will be the #2 QB next year with HH as an H-back or slot receiver. I love the kid; he has heart and grit, which are hard to find.
If you can’t see the obvious trolling he is doing… it’s his way. He can post what he wants. I’m just trying to help.
He can troll Husker fans and have numerous people call him out for it, or post about the good stuff he knows, and be thanked for it.
It was a great video to post. It was trolling to turn it into an F you to Husker fans who thought his HH crusade at the expense of all other QBs last year was over the top. He complains that fans crapped all over HH, even though he did the same thing to Purdy and Sims all last year.
So yeah, I guess I don’t quite understand why he should be defended.

Hunger is a powerful motivating factor. I have a friend who grew up on the rez and is friends with many Native Americans. His view is maybe it's okay to provide housing but he thinks things would improve dramatically on the rez if we didn't provide all their groceries. We meet all of their primary physical needs and much of the incentive to show up for a job is lost. Unfortunately its the kids that suffer the most.
You seem to conveniently miss the several folks who came forward in this thread saying (accurately) that many “fans” have gone over the top to shit on HH due to my genuine (and correct) opinion of him.
I know I rub you the wrong way, t-bone. But what you call “trolling” is simply me posting my opinion and defending it.
As for sims, he sucks. I stop there.
Purdy is the most selfish, me-first prick who’s played here in a long time. Ignored the coaches to call his own number in a game we needed to win, ditched his media responsibilities after single handedly blowing the iowa game.
He earned every bit of venom I send his way. Absolutely horrific teammate and Husker. He’s now riding the pine in Reno, as I correctly predicted while others were sure he’s a P5 player. Hilarious.
Every word of this post is fact. Sorry if my tone offends your delicate sensibilities, ma’am.

No. He had WAY more than his fair share of girls. It's just that most of them wanted rings and to be with him every waking moment. I doubt any girl ever "broke up" with him. No homo but he was an extremely handsome, extremely nice 6-5, 275 lb guy who was a second round NFL pick. He was ripped.
When both parents are raging alcoholics and booze is the primary expense on limited incomes, sacrifices have to be made, and those sacrifices are normally the kids. It's not hard to grow up with a hard edge when the simplest, most basic needs are not even met.
Not to get on a tangient, and I don't know how it is state or nationwide, but the parents in my local school district don't even have to pay for student lunches any more. It's definitely not that I don't feel all kids deserve to eat, but when the hell are these parents, and kids who will be parents, ever learn that life isn't gonna be handed to them forever.
We have become such an entitled society, no wonder this empire is on the verge of collapsing.
I'm gonna drop it now....
I'm afraid things are going to get much worse in January if November goes the way I'm afraid they do. Hell we're giving financial aid to people who come here illegally already.
It will be sad indeed after he leaves this year. Assuming he still wants to play QB.
Haarberg wasn't ready to play last year. He really needed another season of development. He was forced into action. He did whatever they asked him to do including running the option. I think his play started to go downhill after he got so banged up in the middle of the season. I hope he isn't needed to play this year obviously, but I would think that the HH we would see this year would be a better version over last year.
We really can't delve into that here, but I know exactly what you mean. The thing that pisses me off the most is we have good, hard-working American citizens, many of them working their asses off in 2 jobs just to keep the lights on and keep their family fed.
Yet, we just shovel it over hand over fist to people who've never paid a penny in taxes and contribute nothing to society.
It's a shame young families making 6 figures can't even get into a starter home and enjoy the benefits that you and I, and many others, have enjoyed for decades.
Just this week, one of the candidates was shot at multiple times while playing golf in an exchange of gunfire with the SS. Yet, it's not even a news story? Where the **** we at as a country?
over a decade ago a single mother in Omaha would have had to land a 50K+ job to equal the benefits she got if she didn't get a job. People say we need the immigrant labor but how about we make it more attractive for people to take jobs than to be on assistance. The illegal immigrants are deflating real wages for citizens willing to work. A family member hires Hispanics in his business and he says all they have to have now is a driver's license and our government is no longer prosecuting people with fake identification. The whole compassion for immigrants is BS. It's about cheap labor and buying a voting block for the future. I'm shocked the teamsters don't understand what this will do to their membership.
It wasn't just that Haarberg wasn't ready last year. The whole offense wasn't ready. We didn't have the WRs we needed and our O line was a work in progress. Donovan and Frost were at odds over how to coach our O line the previous fall and it was an entirely new scheme implemented last year. Raiola came in to a MUCH better situation this year than what Haarberg and the other QBs had to operate in last fall. The experience in the system and depth are much improved.
I'm on a conference call every other Wednesday with my Representative. I talk issues all the time, primarily those that negatively affect American citizens, and those are issues that don't even involve my family members or I.
It took the Cloward-Piven strategy about 50 years to fully kick in and now we are showing the terrible effects of that drive. Overload the society with too many non-productive citizens, create handouts where they never existed, and bankrupt this nation. It's been accomplished, it's just a matter of time now.
It's unfortunate that so many people are gonna get blind sided when this shit all goes down, and they're gonna wonder, what happened? I've lived a long time so this is not gonna affect me for too many years, but I wouldn't want to be a 40 something nowadays with kids. especially the way society is trending.
dingle, after you respond, if you choose to do so, we probably need to end this discussion, no sense in getting warned about speaking about things that we both know are true.
The word "troll" is commonly and frequently misused on this site.
Feel free to share your opinion. I have no problem with that. When you say to a certain subset of posters, I will never let them forget it and this is a big FU to said posters, that’s much more than an opinion. That’s what I’m referencing. I don’t care if you believe Haarberg is the second coming of our Lord Jesus, that’s an opinion, and you’re entitled to it. I don’t get the extended, and I mean, extended airplay you give to calling out fans every chance you get, even saying you will never stop. to me, that’s a little bit of trolling. Maybe I’m wrong.
Then please help me understand, what should I call it when he continuously bates specific posters with inflammatory text? A big FU to these posters? So, in your opinion, that’s not trolling. What would you call it? I’m genuinely curious.
Not everyone is as brilliant as you and has your foresight. With that said, maybe arrogance would be the better word.
