    Oklahoma: What did we learn?

    Our special teams cost us a win against a Top 5 team.  Our O-Line coaching is a hot mess…supposedly we have the kids but they can’t block s***.    Our 2-minute offense is craptacular.  Our defense is going to give us hope, and our special teams will continue to rip it away. All while our...

    So NU SHould Have Went Back to the Big 12?

    As long as there’s a quorum, there’s a conference and a contract.    Instead of the seven looking to bolt, why not make some quality additions to their conference and improve TV audience?    Teams like Houston, Colorado State, and Nevada would love to be in a Power 5 conference and would...

    Will Wisconsin play Nebraska this Saturday (10/31/2020)?

    Since there's chatter about Wisconsin having a large number of players test positive for COVID... And 11 players and/or staff testing positive is Wisky's magic number. If 11 or more are still testing positive come Friday, game is off.

    Next Gen Gaming Thread (Xbox Series X, PS5, Stadia Discussion)

    Things have been relatively quiet on the next generation console front, but we know that the PS5 and XBox Series X (XSX) are planning to launch during the Holiday 2020 Shopping Season. We don't have many details on the PS5, save for some various site leaks (which, notably have proven out for...

    What did we learn? The Indiana edition (sponsored by the Greg Louganis Diving School)

    We need more vertical plays. Even if it’s a rollout and only has two WRs, we need more verticality to this offense to open things up. This defense was making the exact same mistakes they did at Minny. What did they work on during the bye week. We need to review our coaching staff. Our...

    What did we learn? (The NW edition, sponsored by the MASH 4077)

    -We really are putting the “next man up” mentality to the test. -Vederal looks and plays better than Martinez. Hands down. -Cam Jurgens needs to be replaced ASAMFP; his high snaps killed drives and our offense.  -B1G officials are garbage, but they blocked well for NW. -We’re 4-2 and have a...

    What did we learn? (The Illinois edition, sponsored by Stickum brand adhesive)

    This team has grit...it just has to get out of its own way to utilize it.  There are some questionable calls--the B1G really needs to get their s*** together with officiating.  We need to devote more time to special teams work--they're killing us. We need to devote more time to ball...

    What did we Learn? (The NIU Huskies Edition)

    Our O-Line had fleeting bouts of competence, but I'm afraid that missed blocks, poor communication, and poor run blocking are here for the rest of the season. Kids don't just grow up overnight.  Our special teams should have their own special helmets and a separate bus to bring them to the...

    Our Team's Mental Acuity and Resilience: Perhaps Look at improving the Sports Psychology staff?

    *Updated Post-Season 2019* I would suggest we look at our Sports Psychology department--it was a heralded tool back in the 90s, and Dr. Jack Stark, during our run of dominance, has since been a sought-after consultant for this aspect of sports after retiring in 2003.  One of the things we've...

    What did we learn? (The Rocky Mountain Low Edition)

    1) Our O-Line is garbage at this point. Poor pass protection, Cam Jurgens still can't snap consistently, and we can't run between the tackles if our life depended on it (which it will).  2) Opposing teams now have a blueprint to stop Martinez--delay blitzes and stunts to take him out of...

    FEC Near Shutdown, just in time for 2020 Elections

    The FEC is close to a shutdown, as they don't have a quorum and can't meet. They don't have a quorum and can't meet because Congress won't discuss replacement appointments to the retiring Vice Chairman, even in spite of Trump nominating his own lackey candidate, Trey Trainor.  People (generally...

    Christian Evangelicals—Pinnacle of Faith or Hypocrisy?

    Came across an interesting OpEd that addressed the Christian Evangelical Protestant support for Trump and politicians that enable him.  Washington Post OpEd Some interesting quotes from this article: That seems rather...well, against the core tenants of Christianity. And Russell Moore...

    College Baseball Third Assistant Proposal Defeated

    Maybe I missed this (I've been away due to some malfeasance), but I didn't see a thread about this topic. There was a proposal to add a third paid assistant position to NCAA Baseball programs, as well as NCAA Softball programs. A fourth, unpaid assistant could still be retained, and not every...

    Brexit Plan Gets Drubbed in Parliament, Teresa May now having to defend against "No Confidence" vote

    To take a break from all things Donald, Mitch, and the rest of their comrades, I figured I'd look into how the conservative government in the U.K. is getting along since the Brexit vote, as the deadline to strike a deal with the EU is coming up, an--oh holy s***, Teresa May is almost as...

    Statistical Evidence of Biased Officiating Against Nebraska?

    I know there’s been a lot of chatter in the past few weeks about officiating and whether Nebraska has gotten a fair shake from the B1G officials. Well, instead of just making an assumption from casual observation (read: like I and many others have) one way or another...a Redditor by the name of...

    Kirk Herbstreit Says Something Nice re: Nebraska and Their 0-2 Start

    https://247sports.com/Article/Nebraska-Scott-Frost-pump-the-brakes-on-judgement-says-Kirk-Herbstreit-122240737/ There's more in the article, and he's got a good point, as loathe as I am to admit it (because I dislike Herbie, not because I am jumping off the Frost bandwagon). We just need to...
