  1. 0 chance he wins the heisman with this going on. people are not going to want to risk picking a guy who could later be in prison for rape. if it comes down to it, mccarron will win. Yup. The lifetime achievement Heisman
  2. S E C ! S E C!
  3. How do we not have a better method of spotting the ball in 2013?
  4. Boy, we watched totally different guys. Golson was the opposite of a game manager, imo. He made some really risky decisions, and when they worked it was awesome, because he's got an absolute cannon arm to go with his elusiveness. But he struggles with accuracy and decision-making at times, which are the two biggest things you need from a game manager. It'll be interesting to see how he's developed with a year of training but no game play.
  5. They were never going BCS with Rees behind center so who cares, I wrote the season off as soon as Golson was gone. ETA: And Golson kinda sucks That's why I said the entire 2013 year. Start from Te'o getting calls before the Bama game even started, to the Bama game, the Te'o thing, Kiel, Vanderdoes, Golson, Tommy NOO!!!, Tuitt hurt, Day hurt, Nix hurt, blah blah blah. ND has fewer active, non-redshirt, scholarship players than an NFL team right now. Oh, and Golson does not suck. What makes you think that?
  6. Nix out for the year (knee surgery - thanks for the targeting, USC). His backup was already doubtful. ND's starting DLine of Tuitt, Nix, Day logged just 23 plays together this year. The entire 2013 year has sucked balls.
  7. Call me names if you like, but I'd certainly appreciate you not generalizing and showing disrespect for an entire group of people based on what I'm posting. I grew up near a lot of husker fans so my generalization and disrespect has very little to do with you.
  8. I always knew Nebraska fans were delusional but cripes
  9. Flashing Letterman got me That was Drew, not Diaz. Weren't we talking about Drew just a minute ago? I don't remember a life less ordinary so I missed the move back to Diaz. Diaz has never been attractive to me. Drew was pretty cute/ spunky when I was in college.
  10. Flashing Letterman got me
  11. After this year Ferentz will likely have averaged 6-7 losses per year for 4 years. Iowa could do better than that, and probably would if they hadn't given Ferentz the worst buyout in sports. They probably could do better but not with the stability they have enjoyed. Now you can argue that instability without Ferentz is better than what they've had the last few seasons. Maybe you'd be right. But I think Iowa would prefer a stable, relatively clean program that's in the hunt for a bowl almost every year than grabbing a good coach that jumps at a better opportunity every 5 years.
  12. This game has no impact whatsoever on Ferentz or the fans' perception of him. Some think he's fine, some want him to go. His buyout is still the biggest hurdle for Iowa. Similarly, while losing to Iowa would be bad, Hoke can save his season by beating OSU. You don't gain or lose much at UM in the Iowa game. I disagree re Hoke. He isn't going to beat OSU, so he needs this game to avoid a 7-5 / 3-5 record, which - combined with the anemic offense and up and down defense - will put his head squarely on the block. 8-4 / 4-4 isn't much better, but it probably will be perceived that way. I don't think the difference is going to matter at all. If he can't win more than 7/8 games next year, he's likely out in matter whether he wins 7 or 8 this year. They could still win a bowl and finish with 8 wins. But that difference just doesn't matter. 4 losses is too many at this point in his tenure with the team. with the way that he's recruited it makes no sense to not let him have at least a year with his own upper-classmen a coaching staff (OC, OL, RB) shakeup is badly needed though, and i hope he realizes this and does the same thing Beilein did with the basketball team a few years back, when he overhauled his staff Oh I don't think he will or should be fired this year. But if he gets thumped by OSU and then loses 4 games next year with another whipping by Meyer, don't you think he'll be out? He could throw Borges under the bus, but I assume he was on board with the decision to make the offense fit denard instead of taking the lumps and getting the entire team an extra couple years with the actual offense. That seems to be a HC decision or at least one that's on his head. Maybe the problem is elsewhere but from my perspective, that seems to have been a bad decision.

  15. Chattanooga? Oh [expletive] off
  16. At least we can't lose our best player to a [expletive] call this week.
  17. If football were a track meet, Atkinson would be awesome
  18. Just about had it with targeting
  19. :lol: I don't see why that's funny. Had Oregon run the table he would've been right there with Winston. And if my aunt had a dick she'd be my uncle. Yes, I'm aware injuries happen. All I'm saying is it's a shame it happened to Mariota because without the sprained MCL, he has a much better game, Oregon might win and keeps his Heisman candidacy going. He really is a treat to watch when healthy, just like Winston. I don't understand why you think that's funny. Sure you do raisin.
  20. Ryne's posts on this page haven't made much sense.
  21. I read it more of an FYI type thing, not something that should sway your opinion. Right. You'd have to be s moron for that to sway your opinion. But it's totally useless information.
  22. Wtf are you talking about. You suggested that the unemployment rate was a consideration for releasing people in prison based on dumb drug sentences.
