Ohio State probably wins if the refs made the correct call on michigan's TD that was an interception.
Correct call- McCord is a hero.
Bad call-- McCord is a bum.

OSU McCord
- Thread starter HBK4life_rivals100467
- Start date
Probably one reason some OSU fans are trying to bad mouth McCord here is because they know the Huskers play OSU next year and don't want to be embarrassed if he happened to have a good game against them.
I know, right? Given the Bucks fans reaction, they must have thought CJ Stroud was absolute dog ****. He lost twice to the meatchickens and took 4 total losses in his career.
Wouldn't have listened. We already knew what Ewers brought to the table. Unfortunately, Herman blew his initial recruitment.
Sadly, even with all of that, he would still be a significant upgrade to what we've seen in Lincoln for a while.
Any thoughts on the lack of portal entries for Nebraska. I'd heard that they set the NIL deals up.so all the players were getting paid and were satisfied.
My thought is it is premature to make the assumption that there won't be more Nebraska players hitting the portal. Don't forget there might also be an exodus in the Spring.
Yes, the air raid offense would play real well in Lincoln and the Big Ten. They’re gonna have to adjust to us!
So it works in KC but not Lincoln? Works in Columbus, Ohio but not Lincoln? Hasn't seemed to stop any of these passing teams when they come to Lincoln. I think Fields completed his first 20 passes against us. The Lincoln weather and a Big 10 defense didn't seem to bother him.
Yeah, it's a little odd, gonna need quite a few more to hit the portal to make room for incoming players.
Agreed. And not just air raid. A lot of schemes work when you have elite athletes and competent coaching vs. teams that only have one or neither of these!
I'm not familiar with high school football in Kansas City or Columbus, Ohio. I doubt that you are saying that Andy Reid or Ryan Day are running Hal Mumme's offense.
Oops. My bad. I misinterpreted your post as saying McCord and more passing centric wouldn't work in Lincoln.
Kansas, Iowa St, OK, OK st have had passing offenses and did fine. But ideally we'd have a 55+% run/pass ratio.
No problem. I agree that a team that passes more than it runs the ball could work great in Lincoln. Ideally, I'd like to have a team that can attack on the ground or through the air based on what the defense is showing you.
I’d still take that as a positive. Not having the Scott Frost starter exodus. If you are leaving in spring it’s most likely do to playing time, not unhappy with the culture.
These subpar players/coaches have ruined a lot of Saturdays collectively across the last 20 years...
Might have made it too cushy. There's really no reason to overpay the bottom half of the roster. I'm sure with the collective you can separate it by group, so I'd do $10,000 base, then up that to $20,000 for preferred walk ons and $50,000 for starters. That takes care of everybody. There's really no reason to pay more than that unless the player is actually worth more.
IF you’re on the cut line but getting school paid for plus getting a check it’s probably prudent to stay through spring to see where you end up on the depth chart.
Maybe it speaks to what Rhule is doing for the players.
I think the attrition needed will take place at the end of spring ball.
What is the date the roster needs to be at 85?
The bottom half of the roster on scholarship are almost all young developmental guys that you would like to see go through spring ball.
This is when I think the majority of it will happen.
I'm not saying there won't be transfers, there's gonna have to be. I just think it's pretty interesting that there hasn't been more or a few that sting.
That could still happen, I'm just surprised it hasn't yet.
It absolutely is. The one issue might be some players thinking they might be worth more than they’re getting. That’s a normal phenomena in any job. In theory they’re not supposed to interview for other spots before they opt for the portal so some guys are going to find out they had a pretty good deal after they come out.
It’s one way to keep the talented young guys on the roster. You can still tell guys you don’t want that the gravy train is over and they need to find a new spot. That does sound high but I don’t have a problem with it.
So much for not having the money to pay players.
Every year at this time fans are wringing their hands that we're too far over the scholarship limit. But somehow it always seems to work itself out by the time Fall camp arrives. Attrition happens.
Well, nothing they may or not be getting paid would explain the lack of talent on the team.
We’ve always lost 10-14 guys every year it seems since I started paying attention to that.
My position is $10,000 is perfect and it is a terrific selling point considering a lot of these guys's NIL value is effectively zero. I think the base is for everyone on the roster, not just those on scholarship. You overpay for a base though and things might be getting a little too cushy...
If a young guy is truly talented enough, his NIL value will be significantly north of $10k, and I'm sure we would try to compensate his full value. This is for the high 4 star and 5 star immediate impact type players though, not the developmental 3 star and 4 star types. Developmental type players have very low NIL value.
