When I see things like that, I always wonder whether it is real. I do not watch ESPN for anything but live sports, so I am not sure.
Sunday Morning Thoughts--Post Ohio
- Thread starter Doc Fumble
- Start date
Perhaps Rhule is trying to avoid sparking a QB controversy so early in the season. I do think we need to get at least the #2 QB some live snaps before we get into conference play.
Naw, the coaches -- and the vast majority of the fans -- know who's QB1. There was zero QB controversy in camp.
Colandrea was playing his first game as a Husker. I saw no reason not to give him more live, Red Zone experience with our offense. With Bowling Green and North Dakota coming up, there will be plenty of PT available for back-ups coming up.
Is this real? I will admit I was busy this weekend and not scouring Twitter like I usually do so this is the first I have heard of this. The link has photos which are clearly AI of the Gameday crew being in Lincoln and the crowd having Nebraska and Ohio signs behind them. I have a hard time imagining that we were even on Herbie's radar let alone that he had such a strong opinion about our game.
For some reason Wilson Dittman has been TJ's #1 fan all offseason. I know he is not popular but occasionally he does get a scoop that turns out to be true. Not sure what he has been hearing or what his agenda is.
TJ has live game experience as a starter - I am not worried if he plays in games - but he likely will over the next 2 games.
AC's height is a bit of an issue - he had a couple passes batted down. But he also can throw on the run and has a good feel when to get out of the pocket.....I think you have to live with the batted passes to get all the other good things he can do. Dude threw for 275 and ALOT of it was RAC - it should have been well over 300 if Barney hadn't called for a PF on the long TD (which WAS NOT a penalty).

Even Wilson has said Colandrea is the clear-cut QB1.
Speaking of Dittman, he's been saying since last Spring that Owen Chambliss has been suffering from a lingering turf toe injury. Apparently, that's still what's keeping him off the field.
Would have been quite a bit more also if not for dropped passes.
I wonder if we won't see Chambliss until B1G games start - or if he does play it is limited snaps - in an effort to get him healed up.
Maybe the kid in the costume was already on the verge of passing out and wanted to get the giant Herbie head off to breathe but kept getting asked for pictures
Unfortunately...that's the job. People with "jobs" don't get to pick and choose what part of their job they don't want to do.. The Herbie guy/gal should know going in what the job entails.

Are we 100% sure this was even said. I've not found any video on YouTube or anything on Google showing this.
and who is jervisfamily?
I don't actually believe my theory. I think it's just bad costume design leading to the material bunching.
They probably need a better "seamstress."
- WD produces Husker videos Every. Single Day.
- That means he's always has to come up with: a) new content; and b) a headline that motivates people to click on his latest podcast.
- "The TJ Lateef buzz grows" is nothing more than a 'hype-ish' way of saying what everybody on this board already knows: TJ is going to get quite a few reps in the second half Saturday.
- I want TJ to do well. I want him in a position to take charge if -- God forbid -- AC gets injured. But I listened to DW's TJ segment and he said nothing more than TJ is going to see action against Bowling Green. Period, end of story.
- AC is clearly QB1 and TJ is QB2 with (hopefully) the experience and abilities to step in and perform well if called upon.
Any clarity at this point? T-toe vs. hammie = big, big difference in recovery, and resolution
I had been concerned that Chambliss still hadn't fully recovered from a turf toe injury suffered at the end of last season. But word was it was: a) his hamstring; and b) minor so the thinking is that he's going to play Saturday.
Was going to put this in the BG thread but since it is being discussed here
