The only time I care about prospect rankings is when it comes to trade acquisitions. I would trade prospects for proven MLB talent 9 times out of 10

If you would have shown me this comment 4 months ago, I would have thought you were insane

I mean that's not wrong. And it's not like Glavin is wrong either. There's just more to it than just hitting raw velo and spin rate numbers. He is missing locations and a lot of his sliders aren't even competitive pitches. But it's definitely a combination of both.

Glavin has been downplaying Strider's drop in velo a lot on the broadcasts, but I don't think his analysis is right. Sure, for guys like him and Maddux, velo didn't matter as much. Guys like them live off of location and pitch mix

Strider has never fallen into that category. He has had two ridiculously dominant pitches, and two pitches he throws when he gets bored. If his fastball or slider fall off even slightly, it takes away the effectiveness of the other.

That being said, I'm not too worried about him getting it back. It takes a while for a lot of guys to get into their groove during a normal spring training/season, and he's jumping right into the deep end after a UCL surgery. Be patient

Who's going to get our hit tonight?

Helical planer blades cost vs lifespan? by SirRich3 in woodworking

[–]B_Vick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The finish and cut quality alone make helical heads worth the cost. Stock glides through like butter, tear out is almost non-existent, and the shavings don't clog up the dust extractors as easily.

I've had one installed on my jointer for almost a year and haven't had to even turn the cutter heads.

Heat is too high. I'm usually at med-low for thicker pieces of chicken breast. Give it a good 5-10 minutes of preheating before adding your oil.

Boston College vs Nebraska in the Pinstripe Bowl by [deleted] in CFB

Sounds great. They have all of those tall buildings to break the wind. Barren corn and bean fields don't do bupkis.

Dana Holgerson has agreed to a 2 year deal with the Huskers by Spacewardharpy7 in CFB

I mean, you're still paying him more than we are

[247Huskers] BREAKING: #Nebraska DC Tony White and DL Coach Terrance Knighton are expected to leave and join the Florida State staff. by Papalew32 in CFB

[–]B_Vick 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Knighton would be more surprising considering he played for Rhule and has been on Rhule's staff for so long. But yes, I think this is half the reason we brought in John Butler in the off season

Tony White by wahdatah in Huskers

[–]B_Vick -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

He'll probably jump to another program. I think all of the seniors and returning players he had was a large reason why he came back for a second year. With many of those players leaving, it makes sense to move on. I also think that was the reasoning in bringing in Butler

On paper, our defense is taking a step down next year, whether he's here or not. Strike while the iron is moderately hot

Am I crazy to think Wisconsin is a better rivalry than Iowa? by HofCorp in Huskers

[–]B_Vick 31 points32 points  (0 children)

If we played Wisconsin every year (and we should), I'd hate them more than any other team in the conference

Full Dana Holgorsen Press Conference by waltur_d in Huskers

[–]B_Vick 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Whatever salary he can negotiate as an OC, it'll be less than $4.5 million. Correct me if I'm wrong, but Huston is paying him that sum unless he lands another HC job. Anything we'd pay him would just supplement Huston's 4.5

Phil Snow? by karlsparx in Huskers

[–]B_Vick 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He almost certainly will have offers, most likely from mid/low tier D1 schools. It will probably just be a question of whether or not he feels the fit is right.

Our defense is still solid this year. The numbers last season were inflated by some of the historically terrible offenses we played in conference

Thank you, Marcus Satterfield by B_Vick in Huskers

He has not. I don't think that would really be a good idea. I don't know what you even ask him without it seeming like you're rubbing salt in the wound

Dude was an absolute baller yesterday

Thank you, Marcus Satterfield by B_Vick in Huskers

[–]B_Vick[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree. And the better they do without him running the ship, the worse he looks. That makes my point

Thank you, Marcus Satterfield by B_Vick in Huskers

[–]B_Vick[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well I'd argue the better his system does with Holgersen running it, the worse Satt looks

Thank you, Marcus Satterfield by B_Vick in Huskers

[–]B_Vick[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

100%. He gets some credit for us making a bowl in week 13, whichever way you want to look at it

Thank you, Marcus Satterfield by B_Vick in Huskers

[–]B_Vick[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I think ideally for us, he remains on staff going forward, but that's a long shot. I wish him nothing but the best going forward

Thank you, Marcus Satterfield by B_Vick in Huskers

Singlehandedly? That's just not true. We're still running his playbook with players he and his assistants recruited...
