Thompson is N!
- Thread starter Headcard
- Start date
My God. If you would have told me in 1987 that someday I would be cheering for a Thompson at Nebraska I would have looked at you so sideways. Welcome to Nebraska. May the kid bring as much joy to Huskers as his dad did ripping my heart out.
You got trolled. On a Husker message board no less. Why are you even over here?
Anyone here ever been to a Minnesota message board?If he drops off a set of keys into the coaches offices, we need video of it. That would be damn funny. Cocky as hell, but funny.
one of a few reasons I'm so excited for this addition.
@NikkiSixx has (I think fair & warranted) concerns about his W/L record at UT, but nobody can deny these things:
- He has a big time, generational athletic pedigree
- He is a natural thrower of the football
- He has spent more than a year in the hottest of spotlights - very few kids on the planet are as scrutinized as the quarterback at Texas.
someone please follow me around with a pool skimmer all off-season, because I may drown in kool-aid.
Let’s not forget he wasn’t even the starter at Texas to start his JR year, this year. Let’s pump the brakes and hope he’s the starter for one year. He’s leaving Texas for a reason.
Dude we are always the undisputed champions of the off-season. Unprecedented how many we’ve won in a row
I was at that game. Most disappointing loss that I have witnessed. Drove from Texas to Lincoln on fumes. Was quite tired. Never seen Lincoln so dead as it was after that loss.
The rare non-Thanksgiving weekend NU-OU game back in the day. Nebraska played Colorado in Boulder on the Saturday after Thanksgiving in 1987, avenging the previous year's upset by beating the Buffs 24-7. I was in Anchorage covering the Great Alaska Shootout.
F*CK yeah! Huge win for us. We might actually have a winning season next year so long as all the new pieces can gel together...
You spelled it like most Prohaska's do. Teddy spells it the original way: Procha'zka.
What a huge day for Nebraska football. As the QB goes, the team goes. While we're at it; he may be our next Heisman winner!!! Casey; glorify God in all you do!!!
Love this. I was at that game and before we went in there were some folks selling plastic keys to wave around in the stadium. I stupidly bought some with my sister. We were waving them like mad after Jones scored that first touchdown. After the game I threw them away in a trash can inside some bar downtown. Stupid keys...
His TD to interception ration is something that Nikki needs to pay more attention to. Couple that with Whipple's offense last year having a greater than 70% redzone TD percentage and you've got a great improvement coming IMO on offense. I said for two years at least that Adrian's physical tools weren't his problem. It was his decision making and accuracy. Thompson seems to be better at both by quite a bit AND people are underestimating how mobile he is.
I've laid pretty low on the QB transfer topic in part because I didn't think there was any way we could land a QB of this guy's caliber. THIS guy is the one I've wanted since the minute he declared. I think he has demonstrated the best set of skills of all of the kids we've looked at. Thank God Frost and Whipple were patient and got him. Smothers and your boy Haarberg have some competition now.
He was basically neck and neck with QB Hudson Card all summer and most of fall camp. Sarkisian said it was the closest QB battle he's ever had to call in all his years coaching. Card looked like a deer in the headlights @ Arkansas in the second game of year and Thompson replaced him in the last couple of minutes of the 3rd quarter and looked way more comfortable against SEC competition.
He left Texas, because Quinn Ewers will be QB1 either at the beginning of the season or after the Alabama game next year. Sarkisian is pinning his coaching future at Texas with Ewers and everybody knows it. I honestly don't see how the QB competition isn't going to be predestined, unless Ewers completely falls flat on his face next fall. He's the first QB to receive a perfect rating from Rivals, since Vince Young, and everyone down there has already placed him in "program savior" status.
I think so, prior tweets say an offer from Abeline Christian, an offer from Iowa State, but an opportunity at Nebraska.
That '87 game was a total disaster, especially when Steve Taylor and Broderick Thomas couldn't keep their mouths shut, barking all week how OU couldn't play with them. Geezus.

Your hockey team sucks as bad as your sh*t talking, and that's saying something. Have fun drinking your wine coolers tonight.
GFY, idiot. His comment was more on the fun side, morons like you can't figure it out.
