Now that the off-season is officially upon us, who do you think starts on O and D in 2016? My guesses: OFFENSE QB: Tommy Armstrong RB: Devine Ozigbo FB: ??? TE: Cethan Carter WR: Jordan Westerkamp WR: Stanley Morgan OT: Nick Gates OG: ??? C: ??? OG: ??? OT: ??? DEFENSE DE: Freedom...

Firing Riley will never be easier to do than after this season. Firing him will only be more disruptive and problematic for the program 2-3 years down the road. Easy come, easy go. Fire Riley.

I was thinking about the team under Riley today and it struck me that our schemes on offense and defense present an undeniable and inherent contradiction in football theory. Allow me to explain: Defense--Stop the run Our defense scheme is clearly designed to stop the run first and foremost...

The kiss of death for a head coach is nepotism cronyism: hiring one's unqualified buddies as assistants and then stubbornly sticking with them when they prove their incompetence on the field. Bill Callahan: 2004-2007 Bo Pelini: 2007-2014 Mike Riley: 2014- ? The thing that turned Riley from a...

Quint Kessenich (sp?) nailed it during the game. Nebraska's problems are these: 1) No pass rusher 2) Mediocre corners 3) No deep threat on offense I hope DPE can address #3 (which is the least of these three problems, IMO). But the other two--lack of an elite pass rusher and mediocre...

Name: Mikale Wilbon Height: 5'8" Weight: 190 lbs. Last Seen: 9/5/15 Mikael was last seen in Lincoln, Nebraska, in the vicinity of Memorial Stadium on Saturday, September 5, 2015. He inexplicably disappeared shortly thereafter. If you have any information about Mikael's whereabouts, please...

Some uncanny similarities between these two: Both were picked by Osborne Both were fired by different ADs than the one that hired them Both fired despite going 9-3 in their final season There was much criticism about how the ADs handled both firings There was a split of opinion in the fan...

Thought it would be fun to think about the questions that you would have liked to ask Bo at the post-game presser. I'll start: "When a game gets out of hand like this, is it the scheme or the execution that's the problem in your view?" If BP says "scheme," next question is, "What sort of scheme...

Perhaps the biggest indication that there is something fundamentally wrong with this program is the basics. After 7 years, Bo Pelini's teams consistently commit false starts, fumble snaps, cannot pass block, cannot run block, and do not tackle very well. Even when we know the other team is...

Pelini, you're a complete piece of trash, as is anyone who supports him. This "coach" is a complete joke and has set this program back further than anyone in the history of Nebraska football. I would honestly rather have Callahan at this point. And you so-called "fans" who criticized those of...

As I watched the Stanford-USC game last night, I realized that a look at the USC program might help put things in perspective for those of us who still have doubts that Pelini needs to go. "It's not just the coach" One big argument against holding Bo responsible for the poor play of our teams...

Saw this on another board. It's a bunch of submissions for a Big Ten logo contest. Just about all of these are better than the one that the Big Ten, er, "BIG" chose: http://www.mycroburst.com/contests/redesign-big-ten-logo-unofficial-sponsored-by-mycroburst-com

Thought of something for a little change of pace to pass the time and make things a little light-hearted. Pick one current Husker in the NFL who you would have come back to Nebraska next year to play college ball again. Only one rule: You cannot pick Suh, Amukamara, Henery, or Helu. Who do...

Thought I would share one of the coolest experiences in my life. First, some background: So I was born and raised in California and attended NU during the dark days of Callahan, and moved back to California shortly after. (Miss NE, though, and hope to move back soon.) Although they weren't...

I live in San Diego and am trying hard to get access to the Big Ten Network to watch my beloved Huskers. I signed a contract with Dish Network on the belief that I would get the Big Ten Network. After it was installed and I tried to check out the BTN, I discovered that although the BTN is part...

Who would have thought that Pelini's coaching career at Nebraska would come down, not to the X's and O's, but the administration of his program. Pelini is at a crossroads in the players he selects and the coaches he keeps on his staff. It should be painfully obvious to any college football fan...

One thing that I haven't seen a lot of talk about . . . WTF happened to Prince Amukamara? Dude was getting beat routinely in the first half. How many times did Landry Jones get flushed out of the pocket and complete a pass to a wide open receiver who was supposed to be covered by Amukamara but...

The gameday prayer was done in correctly today. I don't want to call anyone out, because it can happen to the best of us, but there was a word erroneously added to one clause of the prayer that was done today. I'll admit it: I am as superstitious as they come. You all know that the only times...

If A&M beats Texas this weekend and OU beats Okie State, I believe there will be a three-way tie, a la 2008. (A&M, OU, and Okie State will all have two conference losses. But because A&M beat OU, Okie State beat A&M, and OU beat Okie State, there will be no obvious #1.) So my...
