Re: Husker Hoops

We hear so much talk about not accepting mediocrity at the beginning of the football season, but I see reducing the A-A's maximum capacity down to a number (10-11K) that we should all agree is mediocre by our own standards as a structurally lowering our expectations. I have always thought of 10K as...

Re: Are all these bodybag games to pay for a facility or bud

I lean more towards promoting a new facility for the swimming team. While it is not a revenue generating sport, a new pool would do more than just benefit the UW swim team, it would also benefit Laramie and the state. A new, olympic-sized (if it's not 50-meters than don't bother) pool, with full div...

Re: 2014 starting line-up.

Furthermore, I was curious how a starting lineup would look as far as 1-2 WRs, 1-2 TE, etc. So i went back and compiled the starting lineups that NDSU used in 2013. Bohl mixed it up a bit, this is what they used: Obviously every lineup used a QB, LT, LG, C, RG, RT... 1WR, 2 TE, 1 FB, 1 RB - 4 times....

Re: 2014 starting line-up.

Granted it is way too early to project any starters, but since this is an offseason thing, I think what Beav was going for (and I agree) that it would be fun to sticky this thread and just keep a running list of starters that is modified as the offseason progresses. We start with the best idea we ha...

its like bohl would find out what the other team was doing and boom we'd exploit that in the 2nd half.
Hey, sounds just like DC, down 14-7 at half and then BOOM, down 35-7.

Re: Jason Thompson gone

Fort is going to get an immediate look. Patterson also looks to be a QB built in the mold that Bohl likes. Thornton did not inspire a lot of confidence last season. If Fort is seriously in the running as a true Frosh, then we are SCREWED. He is a good athlete, but no where near ready to be a D1 QB....

Re: The heck with Dave Christensen

Bohl did not throw his players under the bus. And that whole comparison fails because FBS IS A HIGHER LEVEL than FCS. Pac-12 and MWC play at the SAME LEVEL currently. If this were true, Utah would have never left. Utah had big dollar reasons to leave, don't take the facts out of context. Of course ...

Re: B Smith draft potential

I for one have been saying all along that he won't get drafted high. That wasn't a slam to Brett as he is a great player. I just don't think that he would go higher than Round 3-4 based on where he plays and the team around him. If he played at a BCS school he could have had the exact same season an...

OT: History of Conference Realignment

I just ran into this page on the New York Times sports page. A graph showing the formation/disbanding/realigning of college football conferences from 1965-2015. Pretty cool to look at and see how much some teams have actually moved (I.E. TCU). Hopefully the link works, if not you can see it by going...

4th round up, is what I predict, HE WILL be with Pokes next year, there's no way he'll go in the top 3 rounds, imo, but stranger things can and may happen, but he needs to be here for his senior year I have to agree with this. I think the VERY best he could hope for is late 3rd round. And the NFL.c...

ACS season (career?) done

Not sure if this was posted already, I just saw it flash across the ESPN bottom line. ACS out for Vandys bowl game after ACL surgery Nov. 30th. Hoping to be back by Senior/pro days in the spring. That's a pretty fast rehab time frame. http://espn.go.com/college-football/story/_/id/10149121/austyn-ca...

I leave for one day and Wyo goes and hires a coach, throws mad money at recruiting and assistants, and I get in an argument on Facebook with Jarhead over coaching semantics. Maybe I should go away more often! :rofl:

Re: It's too damned quiet!

I listened to the SportsZone out of Cheyenne last night, and Dave Montgomery (who usually has pretty good connections and info) said that he couldn't get anything out of any of his usual connections at UW. He said he couldn't even find out if Burman was in town or not. Sounds like they have this bu...

I'd say Tressel is a VERY BIG name. But, with the problems that he will bring to the new school, it's less appealing. I don't consider him a big name, or VERY BIG name - as he is not eligible to be hired , why even mention him I guess. He is like the Tooth Fairy / Easter Bunny of Football Coaches. ...
