Yes, I rewatch the condensed 40 minute version of just about every game because it's a better use of my time than listening to you idiots. The prior two years, Caleb Tannor had been pushed around on just about every play and contributed absolutely nothing. Just watch, he was the worst starter in DI football at any position. He's improved a lot this year, but that was from a very low starting point. He's still a mediocre player who gets pushed around a lot, but at least now his teammates are good enough to cover for him and he does make a good play every once in awhile. I played DE, and I know exactly what his assignments should be. Like I said, he's doing better this year, but the prior two years, he hardly ever got his assignment right.
Sweet! If you have Eric's schemes for the last 4 years I'd love to see them.

I don't know where you played in middle school. If you don't have pics, it didn't happen.

Hmm, or maybe this board has very low football iq. I think that's more likely.
C'mon oldjar, now you're just embarrassing yourself.

Why isn't anyone agreeing with you? You change opinions from one day to another, how you gonna convince us when you can't even convince yourself?

Dingle, he insists on calling folks in here idiots. I don't want to insult him or anything, but I'm beginning to think he's a "slow blinker."

Of course you do.

I know I should just put you on ignore, but you’re like a train wreck that I can’t look away from.

Dawson sucks and I hope he gets fired. He's finally turned Tannor into an okay pass rusher when he has the athletic talent to be elite. Nelson hasn't really improved much from his Freshman year. I don't see much of an upgrade over the previous guy we had.

This is probably the worst post I've ever read on this site.

This is the crap I refer to in your posts. This is an appreciation thread for one of our players. If you don’t appreciate him, fine. Don’t post. But instead, you choose to be an ***. I just don’t get it sometimes.

And go ahead and report me, I don’t care.
I'll snitch on you! RRT pays three bitcoins for each snitch. Profit!

My natural instinct isn't to tell on someone, it's to fight back. But I often got in more trouble that way than the guy who started the conflict. I've learned the best course of action is to report someone who's being an ******* to you. And yes, if any posters treat me with disrespect while breaking site rules, I'll report them.
Based your body of work, your natural instinct is to drool on a keyboard.

Name a worse starter in Nebraska football history than Caleb Tannor. I can't think of one. He makes Dedrick Young and Corey McKeown look like Lawrence Taylor.

He owes the 90,000 fans who fill up memorial stadium every home game his full effort and potential. And he absolutely was the worst starter in all of college football the past two years.
This is always the dumbest **** to me. Its college sports, ergo glorified intramurals. If you feeled owed anything from watching college kids laying their body on the line for your entertainment then you're extremely immature. Tanner has had subpar play over his career and stupid penalties. Lately he's been doing his job well and not committing selfish penalties. Why choose to be a crusty ******* and not acknowledge his growth?

I guess you and I aren’t so different… I called you the worst poster of all time. The difference between you and me is that people actually agree with me.

I have acknowledged his growth multiple times, but noone wants to listen.

You mean he's nowhere near as good as any of those guys? You're correct.

Why is it surprising that one of the worst stretches in Nebraska football history would produce one of the worst starters in Nebraska football history? And yes, he’s worse than everyone on Leodisflower's list. One mediocre year this year where his teammates are good enough to cover his weaknesses doesn't makeup for 3 years of the worst starter to take the field for Nebraska in its history. At least Tannor is getting his assignments right sometimes this year. I'll give him credit for that. Can't say that about anytime prior to this year.

The difference between you and me is you actually think I give a **** what a bunch of clueless people on a message board think.

Alex Davis

Couldn't find a similar video of Tannor, but here's a "highlight" video of Alex Davis who might be as comparable player as we can get. As bad as Davis's play is and his reluctance to even make contact with the opposing team, Tannor's play was even worse than this the prior two years.

Or maybe a bunch of clued in people don’t give a rip about a clueless poster such as yourself. But that couldn’t be it. You’ve told us otherwise.

Yes, that's exactly the reason. The dude bolted after one year here. If that happens, no way I'm inviting that guy back.

I'm sorry to say I have to put you on ignore. I get much more out of reading posts from people on the board who actually make sense.

There's a lot of bad posts here and noone bats an eye. But when I make what people think is a bad post, I get attacked from all directions because I'm perceived as a threat. You and the other posters attacking me know that I'm more intelligent than they are.

The dude "bolted" to try to get fully vested in the NFL's pension system. That's a sweetheart retirement deal.

People didn't attack you because they perceive you as a threat. They've attacked you because you've come off as a know it all acting like an *******. Your takes on young college players are at times over the top and less than fair.

Correct. It was a smart family/personal/business decision. Most of us would have done the same thing.
I for one am glad he's back. I think he's a damned good coach and the mishaps on special teams this year I don't believe lie at his feet. He's not a kicking coach nor should we expect him to be. We have to recruit better punters for one and who could have predicted that your kicker would get the damned yips at OU.

Very well put as I’d say something much worse

I remember back about '80 or so, NU lost to Iowa and after the game Osborne said he thought their punter, Reggie Roby, was the difference in that game.

I also remember when Penn State and Fla St both beat us strictly because of the Bahr brothers and the FSU place kicker. That's when TO finally gave out his first kicking scholarship to Chris Drennan and that began the many year stretch when NU had some of the best place kickers in the country.

I hoping SF, (and yes, I'm quite sure unless this team melts down and he will return), that SF will get SERIOUS to find the very best available kickers and it may turn some of those 3 point losses into wins.

Sadly, we've given scholarships to specialists but they've largely flopped. Giving Cerni one it seems might not have been a great idea. He's got a huge leg but clearly he's inconsistent. The MSU transfer Przystup is a traditional guy but he shanked one at MSU too. I actually think he walked on. I know why they went after Cerni but man he cost us at MSU. I think both Henery and Foltz started out at least as walk ons. Nationally you have to be REALLY good to get a scholarship as a kicker.

So, he got an offer with an nfl club and took it. You are faulting him him for following a coaching goal.

hope you have never chased your dream

Peel the onion my friend… the simplest answer isn’t that 1 person is right and a dozen are clueless… how about the possibility that you will never entertain: everyone else is right and you are wrong. You are the furthest thing from a threat; this is just a bad thread for you.

That doesn’t make you a bad guy. I’ve never met you and you could be delightful in person. But behind a screen, you aren’t the best. I would say the same thing about myself, by the way… in person I am different. The screen and keyboard brings out the worst in us.

My initial comment in this thread could have been my only comment if people just accepted it. I think Tannor's a bad player, big deal. But then everyone starts jumping in and attacking me, and then I have to defend myself.
