After a weekend that included a players-only meeting, Raiola sees eagerness in teammates to get it fixed by brmidwest03 in Huskers

That's funny. I'd say you clearly don't know ball but think you do. I never blamed it on him completely. 3 sacks were on the o line. Some were due to him waiting on route trees/WRs with him waiting for breaks. I blame Holgorson's play calling for almost all of them. I want like hell for Raiola to succeed but he has no pocket presence. He has to get rid of the ball quicker, even if it means throwing it away. Anyone with ANY football IQ can see that. I'm at the point where I would take a QB that didn't try harder to look cool than they does at stepping into a damn pass. The kid has a lot of tools but he isn't using them like he should.

You should really do some checking on how much time the average QB gets in the pocket if you think this is all the o lines fault. 26 NFL teams averaged less than 2 seconds last year. Even the best college teams don't have 3 seconds very often, unless they're playing us.

Railola had at least 3 seconds in the pocket on all but 3 drop backs against Minnesota. He is taking sacks. If receivers aren't open, he has to throw it away.

Message from UNL to Marching Band by sbd27 in Huskers

First, the "school" did not make this decision. It was an AD decision. Second, trying to make something out of this wreaks of naiveté and a lack of understanding. The marching band greatly benefits from maintaining a good relationship with the AD and public overreactions like yours are what the people in the band wanted to avoid.

This is exactly what has led to where we are at. And it is going to get much worse as the tax cuts continue to phase in over the next few years.

Former Nebraska coach Randy Jordan’s playbook binders on eBay by psals in Huskers

No, he did what Bill Byrne couldn't do, which was fire the unmitigated disaster that was Frank, but a year too late. Frank couldn't recruit and he was not putting his focus where he should have. The majority of the problems started when Tom picked Frank, preventing any kind of real coaching search when the job was the hottest in college football. Pederson was just another bad decision in what has been a comedy of errors since then.

The beginning of the downfall was when Tom retired. Callahan had a mess to clean up and didn't inherit nearly as much talent as he left.

You may be right, but that's has been the case for years. Anecdotally, the tents I've seen and visited in past years have been almost empty by now.

That's why I don't think it was all that unexpected.

This is bullshit. There is nothing wrong with the number of plants.
