Was just reading the Wierd Gerald and Sip touched on an interesting fact....this Fall's contest with OU in Lincoln....
We went into the heart of Sooner land and lost by 7.
Both the Starting QB's from that Day have moved on.
We have fought OU over several players including Thompson and Purdy and won them all.
OU gets Brent Venables as it's new Coach...( A real Defensive Guy)
We get Whipple, Riola, Joseph and Applewhite. All OFFENSIVE guys.
I'm just telling you....unless some new creeping virus crap shuts everything down ( parish the thought) WE WOULDN'T MISS THIS YEARS OU @ NU GAME FOR ANYTHING SHY OF ONE OF OUR KIDS GETTING MARRIED AND EVEN THEN THEY WOULD HAVE TO PLAN IT SO THE CEREMONY WAS BEFORE OR AFTER THE GAME ON TV.....LOL.
IT OUGHT TO BE A REAL DOOZY OF A GAME ....I WISH I WAS YOUNG AND HEALTHY ENOUGH TO PLAY IN THIS GAME !

I think that’s gonna be about right. Will be spread concepts in the air , combined with simple reads and an actual down hill running game, or Pro style . I really , really, really, wanna see some 2 back sets we have the horses and not that lil guy big guy sh1t 2 big powerful RB’s that can kick the sh1t outa B1G LB’s
Gosh thanks. Not sure this post deserves it, but I appreciate the thoughts. Please keep in mind though this is speculation on my part, and do in no small part to what my wife went through. Chubba's experience might be much different........ Just one of many possibilities.
I'll return the complement and say personally Doc's (and it sounds like you played a part in this post as well) post as well was in the "Corcoran is the worst tackle in FBS" thread, where Doc addresses the issue of the O-line and the lack of fundamentals , was one of the better posts I've read in awhile.
One thing I would love to hear about is a question in the same thread asked by East Coast Husker to Doc about the relationship of whether practice time limits are having a major effect on building fundamentals, or if it is mostly a poor use of the time already allotted. If you guys have any spare time
, I would love to get your input back in that thread.

My Doctor says another month and all the bones in my hands will be healed and where they had to cut and re break some they are going to be hard as steel rods because the bones knit back stronger to compensate for the break.
The guy who did the Anesthesia (he was from Ireland and had that Irish Accent you could listen to all day) told me like the next day, that in all the years of him working with orthopedic Surgeons my surgery was the first time where it made him feel sick to his stomach when they had to cut the bones to get them exactly where the Doctor wanted them because she tried everything to break them and nothing worked so they cut them with a rotary bone saw.
I can say this much.....dealing with them the way they were was like having a pair of small sledge hammers on the ends of my arms....they were great for beating the living hell outta something but a pain in the butt for just about everything else like typing, writing a ledgable scrawl, or any fine delicate work....they just were a useless pair of meat hooks.
But the work of this Surgeon and all the rehab and weekly visits to physical therapy is really paying off now....hell I tied up a bunch of Trout Flies the other day and I haven't been able to do that for over 10 years !...the first couple looked like God knows what but most definitely NOT a trout fooling fly....but after that 3rd try it all came back to me and I have tied up over a hundred in all since....it's good therapy.....and I was running low on good flys so it's helped that much at least. Still have a lot of numbness yet and that may never improve because the nerves have been cut or destroyed but I can live with that.
If I hit something now I have to be sure no bones are sticking out of the skin after is all.....no big deal.

Do you think no one was recruiting or did SF purposely slow play recruiting, knowing he would have to hit the portal hard to find some immediate impact players
I really don’t know, but if this was the plan, it makes sense

It had to be the plan. He needs to win right now. There's no time to build up high schoolers for a season 2-3 years away.
It may be generous to assume there was a plan. Our staff seems far more reactionary than proactive.
If you think about it, it is easier to project how a portal player will fit into your program than a HS player. Simply because you have a chance to see how they perform at the college level.
I remember when the Oakland Raiders use to sign a bunch of the outcasts, cut veterans and thought to be has beens dropped from other NFL teams and win with them. Maybe that is the key to future success in college football. Bring in a few high school stars and use the portal to bring in more skilled, but under appreciated players.
Sadly, it is going to become more of a revolving door of players, but that is what it is becoming.
You will still see plenty of shotgun one back regardless of what you call it. If Frost's flavor is included then some of the RPO and other run-pass option stuff will be incorporated. Not sure about pure option plays that we saw last season - those might be eliminated/minimized. I would expect QB run left/right or QB draw (aka Frost red zone offense) is taken out of the play book and burned.
Well 75 percent of our offense last year is now located at KSU, no burning needed.
