Nebraska: no draftees. (First time since 1962)
 

It seems like we can’t go a week without seeing this program sink to new lows.

North Dakota State, South Dakota State, Elon, Morgan State and several others of the Football Championship Subdivision and Division II outfits Sioux Falls, Tarleton State, Washburn and Charleston (West Virginia) each had a representative.

Two players went from Old Dominion, which had one draft pick previously in its history. Two running backs from Florida Atlantic alone. Two from the Omaha metro area. On and on and on.

But no Huskers.

That was AWESOME.gif

How's the FBI investigation going?

Five picks from the end, when an Air Force long-snapper was selected, a proud program's dignity was being tested.

Kansas has had one player drafted in the last four years, but you're taking shit.

Pissed the shoe companies stopped paying players to go to NU?

Lowest point in the history of the program probably. But from the ashes of 20 years of stupid decisions, poor coaching and shitty recruiting...NU comin' back bitches...

Beckner likely first round pick for the win. lollers^^

I don't follow college ball. Is their team is an amazing all-sophomore roster that's set to dominate college football for the next three years?

My poor Beavers were the only P5 school to not have a player drafted or even sign an UDFA contract. I blame Mike Riley for all this (though it was actually Gary Andersen's fault in the case of OS).

NDSU has had its last two starting QBs get drafted, Wentz #2 from Bismarck and Stick, a hometown Omaha boy in the 5th round. Who would have guessed this 10 years ago.

Nebraska joining the big 10 has been the best thing ever

This is a good thread. Thanks PB.

You mean like leaving the BigXII and all your history behind to be an afterthought at best in the B1G?

Only in the most fevered dreams of the NU deranged faithful.

Thank God Mizzou moved to the SEC when we did.

I can't imagine being an afterthought in the B1G, or worse, still being stuck in the Big 12.

DAMN RIGHT WE SURE SHOWED THOSE ASSHOLES DOWN IN TEXAS....



I guess....?

It's not that bad. I can actually go out and enjoy the nice fall weather on Saturdays now.

I wish Mizzou was in the Big Ten. I much prefer the academic and cultural profile of Big Ten schools, and Mizzou gets repeatedly rat****ed by SEC officials in the revenue sports to an extent that can't be an accident.

At least the SEC is creative with the dickings; the "big" 12 boned us out in the open.

On a related note, here is a too-early mock for 2020. It means absolutely nothing, but has 2 Mizzou players in the first round. Without cheating, can you predict who they are?

Correct.... Nebraska is now at Kansas level football.

LMAO

CBS has us ranked 18 and our QB is on the Heisman watch list. Well be aight

Acy and Albert O??

Damn, dude, well done. I would not have guessed Acy.

Goin restore da order?

Acy was my first guess. It actually took longer for me to think about Albert, b/c out of sight, out of mind. Before I thought of him, I was wondering if NFL guys were going nuts over Simms (possible, I guess) or Durant (less so).

Acy is just so damned big that some teams are going to love him, but I really worry about his penchant for getting charred over the top. Probably more of an outside zone corner who isn't afraid to stick his nose in.

I took a look at a list of players from Nebraska drafted over the course of 40 years once.

It was mega-sad.

Where was Lock projected to go this time last year?

How did you get boned in the Big12? The Fifth Down?

The Fifth Down Game was before the Big 12. Missouri was in the Big Eight then.

They actually had to play quality teams

In the 12? The 12 doesn't compete for national titles. I mean, they try and all, but no.

Sorry, no big 10. Such to their demise since entering the big 10.

ROFL

...yes...

But at least the B1G has a lot of good teams in it and if the Huskers want to be relevant, they must compete with those teams. They are taking steps, you can hate em all you want but they're coming back.

Ohhhh! Frost warning!

Thing is, your alumni will shit can him after another couple of seasons without results. It's what they do. They don't let a coach actually get his own team together for a duration of players through their career. They want results and results now.. Rinse and repeat.

If Frost doesn't have a contending team in two years, he's gone. The coaches they hire don't have a chance, really.

But OH how they clamored for it!

You coattail riding on 'Bama again? Seems about all Mizou has since they went to the SEC is "SEC!" and holding onto the coattails of their betters there. Bit like they did in the Big12 really.

I do like Frost. IF NU gives him time, he might bring you back. Not to title contention, but at least bowl contention.

Not worried about it. Frost will get a little more time, I'd say 5 years because of who he is in this state. The team already looked and felt different in a good way last season, even though the record was shit.

Meh. I know there are haters, but we're on the right track here. I'm not saying national champs or something, but we'll be more than relevant in short order, I'm confident in that.

Does KU still engage in attempting to play football"?

I live across the river from it. Oh how I know.

I believe he will be given the time. At least 5 seasons.

Hope you're right. He deserves a chance.

When Mizzouche first joined, Bammy won the title. (Like most years of course). When Bammy basketball visited Mizzouche a few weeks later, they got a standing O from the crowd. Shit you not.

How many football games has KU won since MU left the conference?

So I looked it up. KU has won 16 games since then.

For comparison sake: Mike Riley won 19 games in 3 years.

ROFL Holy shit that's terrible! Just cancel the program FFS.

Nebraska football hasn't been relevant in decades and they still live in some of your heads.

ROFL

Restore da order?

No but listening to their fans that still live in the 70's, they will be competing for the national championship and Tom Osborne should be president

It's good for the Big 10 to have a good Nebraska team. As a Hawkeye, I welcome Frost and their rebuild. Beating Nebraska the last few years has lost its luster for most teams in the West...

.

Corn fans:


The good news is it can’t get any worse. The bad news is it can’t get any worse.

Wow, usually they have an offensive lineman drafted. I haven't been paying much attention to them but this isn't good for a NCAA Big Ten team especially from a recruitment standpoint.

Fans on CP or in general? Because Billay is the only fan here that is usually running his trap. And, well... He's Billay.

In general, not really on here. I live across the river from Nebraska so we have a lot of em around.

They just got a kid in their 2020 class who's going to be a 5*

ku football: no wins. (Not the first time since 1962.)

Well it is Nebraska.

Hey, come on now. We won 3 damn games.


ROFL

When did I say that? I believe I said our ceiling with Frost is Wisconsin/maybe Notre Dame because Nebraskas ability to recruit is pretty good.

Yeah itll be fun. Just wait til the Hoiberg era begins too Nebraska/Iowa is gonna have fun year round

I remember when there used to be Nebraska FB fans/Kansas Bb fans. Front runner fans lol.

Oklahoma vs Nebraska used to mean something back in the day. Were two of the best football programs when I was a kid.

I also think the red shirt freshman kid from Beatrice that just moved from TE to C will be worth watching develop over the next few seasons. Cam Jurgens is his name.

Tight End to Center? No wonder they can't win s***.

That is the path Garrett Bradbury took the number 18 pick in the draft this year. :shrug:

MU has been less relevant than NU as of late, which nobody thought to be possible.

Not really. They've been to 2 SEC title games and their basketball team made the tournament a few times.

No you don’t.
