Unsportsmanlike Conduct, the afternoon show on 1620, posed a very interesting off-season question today:  It took me awhile, but this is what I went with:  QB: 1995 RB: 2012 WR/TE: 2006 OL: 1982 DL: 2009 LB: 2002 DB: 1999 ST: 2015

As of 10 minutes ago, I didn't know this existed, but now, I need to jam it into my eyesockets: 

Take this with as much salt as you want, but I've heard a juicy rumor regarding the University President vacancy, and it involves Ben Sasse taking the job, and Ricketts eventually getting his senate seat. 

(Mods, feel free to fold this into whichever topic it might fit into, but I couldn't think of an appropriate one.)

Is there some form of discontent in the athletic department? 1620 is peddling the thought that not everything is sunshine and roses with Moos. 

He's narrowed his list down to West Virginia, Miami and Louisville.  I have to say, I thought there would be more of a market for him. I'm surprised he hasn't looked west, at either UCLA or Oregon State. 

Mod Edit - Given that this story ties directly into the events of Endgame, and anybody who sees the movie (or the new trailer) will have Endgame plot points spoiled, this thread will be open to Endgame spoilers. I don't see a way to avoid it.

Back in January, I looked at what kind of QB would be the most effective in Coach Frost's offense, particularly in the run game (Look here). Sam McKewon looked at the stats from the past year, and just in terms of Big Ten games, AMart ran the ball roughly 13.67 times a game in-conference. This...

I won't say much about this (to keep it out of the Shed), but this got me triggered real good last night.

https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2806056-ucf-qb-mckenzie-milton-goes-off-on-notre-dame-cant-tell-me-theyre-better It's the typical "UCF isn't treated fairly" piece, only straight from Milton's mouth (I do enjoy how much he went in on Notre Dame). But there was an interesting nugget about...

Good longform read from Deadspin about a situation at George Washington I knew nothing about: https://deadspin.com/the-real-story-behind-the-lewd-video-and-bitter-feud-th-1830223615

Each week, Gerry D. breaks down a play from a Big Ten game in a tweet called "Here To Explain". This week, it's Ziggy's 60 yard TD, with absolutely awesome down field blocking by the WRs. 

Just looking at some overall QB stats from this year; in a blind poll, with everything else equal, who are you taking?  No Googling! QB 1: 152/229, 66%, 1844 yds, 19 TDs, 4 INTs, 65 yds rushing, 1 TD, 3 Fumbles 79.5 QBR. QB 2: 182/272, 67%, 2212 yds, 15 TDs, 7 INTS, 535 yds rushing, 7 TDs, 10...

What a dumbass! 

So.....which one lays claim to "Worst Defense in Nebraska Football History"? In terms of points per game given up, 2018 is 119th out of 130 teams, and 2007 was 115th out of 120.  2017 is in 3rd at this point: they were 116th out of 130. 

Another week, another way I don't understand why they are blocking they way they are. Allen should block Bush, Jaimes should reach his DE, Foster should handle his DT and Conrad should reach the OLB in front of him. Instead, Jaimes tries to get the boundary OLB, as does Conrad, leaving Bush...

Almost the best thing about the program at this point are concept Wednesdays from HCT: https://huskerchalktalk.com/2018/09/26/concept-wednesday-more-option-please/
