Nebraska vs. ISU

A very well known fact? It's an excuse from the people who follow recruiting rankings. "Oh, they're trying to screw my team!" 95% of the time, there's a reason the players we recruit aren't going to Texas, Texas Tech, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Texas A&M, etc. They've picked up the better players. We get what's left over after they've taken their pick.
Think what ya want. Point being if your a Cyclone fan, respect the players. Bash coaching all you want, but do not throw this generalization on our recruits.
 
To those ISU fans who think our D is going to drop off alot next year, you obviously do not know anything about Pelini's track record. As DC at LSU his defenses ranked were ranked 3rd in the nation every year he was there, and he won a NC. Since coming to Nebraska He took our D from one of the worst in the nation, to #1 in scoring defense. Nebraska will always have a great D as long as Pelini is the coach.

Never said that. Just think it won't be quite as good as last year without Suh.
 
Its common knowledge to most that cover recruiting.

No, it really isn't. It is mainly just a theory by some fans to justify our recruiting standing.

FWIW, I think this class will end better than it is ranked but I don't think they were docked because they came here. I think they were somewhat overlooked.
 
I see. well, you'll have to explain it to those of us normal people. Do you have any stats on this? Anything quantifiable?

Also, just because they are "scraps" now doesn't mean they can't develop. So yes, we get "scraps", but that doesn't mean we are screwed. Does that make you happy?
This was even brought up on 1600 last week, common knowledge. And scraps are what you feed to your dog, not college football players. Scraps, coming from guys that probably couldnt make their own HS football team,
 
This is why I love CF; the fresh perspectives. NU fan thinks the Huskers will beat us next year. Great stuff.

You lost Nebraska fan. You lost and no matter how you try to justify it so that your inferior intellect can grasp it it will still go down as an L.

What is it exactly that you want to talk about;

Your superior talent?
Your superior coaching staff?
Your superior fan base?

You had that last year and lost. Lost in Lincoln. To a first year head coach. At lowly Iowa State. You can fill this thread with dozens of posts blathering about why it that NU will win but that's why they play the game isn't it? To give Husker fans a break from talking about how it is that they will win it?

I hope you're there to see CPR go back to back vs. NU.

You sir are the definition of a ******. Perhaps it would be wise to read my first post, you know the one that started the thread in which I stated ISU won, and deserved to win? If your going to ***** like a little girl why don't you atleast do it about something that I actually stated. I stated facts, and did so to continue to talk football with opposing fans, so why dont you grow a pair and talk football without having to be so mellodramatic.

Newsflash everyone! anything that was said on radio is the absolute truth!!!!

Scraps are a way to describe the leftovers after the other BCS conference teams pass over guys and we sign them. It is a reflection on their status within the recruiting community, not as people.

Take the case of one Wesley Johnson. dude was a 2 star. Baylor wouldn't even offer him. He was a "scrap" that we got. Does not mean he didn't become a top 5 NBA pick, does not mean he equates to something one would feed their dog.

You get my point.

You do realize you're arguing with God right? UNIGuy4Cy is all knowledgeable no matter the subject, and only he is right. Don't try to use sense when arguing, or ask for any supporting evidence, as his opinion is the only thing that matters. Thank you.
 
Deep breath everyone..let`s play nice with each other.
 
I can remember one fumble that was not "ripped" out. You have to give us a little credit there. You probably won't, but whatever.

No I definitely give yall credit. Your D played hard and took advantage of our mistakes, and generally were ball Hawking all game. You have to admit though 5 within your 10 yard line? that is incredibly unlikely.
 
You get my point.

No, I don't.

The truth is, we are getting the bottom of the pile as far as recruiting rankings go. It is not a stretch to say that we are getting the "scraps" of the recruiting world, and that's hardly fodder you should be using against people for saying it.

Recruiting rankings don't mean everything though, and that's why we have a shot to be much better than our rankings indicate.

I just want to let you know that you are killing it here... spot on UNI :jimlad:

what's amazing is that one individual is capable of making two entire fanbases appear to be far less intelligent than they really actually are.

You look at our recruits as scraps? I dont get it.
