[HuskerPower52]

no shit those guys arms are as big a Gates waiste

 

[Red_Alert]

Bob Devaney and T.O. need to be in any new banner. Maybe some major award winner players.
No new players or coaches who haven't earned their place on Mt. Rushmore based on pure hope.
That is hallowed fucking ground.

 

[HuskerPower52]

The difference is those guys played for Nebraska, They are not todays (cough) Nebraska recruits or players that or only looking for twitter followers and free fucking ipads. They roll our helmet out there in hopes that it is enough to win and it just isn't. This team needs to go into the jungle and do a survival training build some unity so when you look at the score board and you are down you can look your brother in the eye and know that this fight aint over and we are going to do everything in our power to win. I mean those guys who helped build this place didn't have the added "Greatest facilities in the country" it was steroids and work hard attitude and the training table

It was more than that. It was also coaches who knew how to put the pieces together and getting those players to buy into in the SYSTEM they were trying to run.

The most correct thing bopleeny ever said (ad-nauseam), was "We practiced the game plan, they're just not executing".

You can recruit all the 4* and 5* you want, but if those players don't fit your system, don't buy in mentally, aren't disciplined, and you can't put the pieces together as a coaching staff, you've got nothing.

It's the difference between going (0-12) and (12-0).
It's the donghorns going (5-7).

Example...

1994 and 1995 Offensive Starters or Those With Significant Playing Time.

Rob Zatechka (OL) Lincoln, NE
Joel Wilks (OL) Hastings, NE
Zach Wiegert (OL) Fremont, NE
Chris Dishman (OL) Cozad, NE
Eric Anderson (OL) Lincoln, NE
Matt Hoskinson (OL) Battle Creek, NE
Adam Treu (OL) Lincoln, NE
Matt Vrzal (OL) Grand Island, NE
Steve Ott (OL) Henderson, NE
Brian Nunns (OL) Lincoln, NE

Clinton Childs (RB) Omaha, NE
Damon Benning (RB) Omaha, NE
Ahman Green (RB) Omaha, NE

Reggie Baul (Split End) Bellevue, NE
Brendan Holbein (Split End) Cozad, NE

Lance Brown (Wingback) Papillion, NE
Clester Johnson (Wingback) Bellevue, NE

Tim Carpenter (TE) Columbus, NE
Vershan Jackson (TE) Omaha, NE

Jeff Makovica (FB) Brainard, NE
Brian Schuster (FB) Fullerton, NE
Cory Schlesinger (FB) Duncan, NE

There's 22 offensive players (2 years worth) from in-state who all knew their jobs, believed in the system, and executed their piece in the system.
Not to mention the players from S. Dakota, N. Dakota, Wyoming, and Kansas who either started or made significant contributions.

The hotshot recruits from California, Florida, and Texas were just the sprinkles on the cake.

 

[HuskerPower52]

Reading those names gives me goosebumps

Reading those names gives me goosebumps

9 of the 11 starters on Nebraska's 1995 offense were all from Nebraska.

Anyone who says Nebraska can't be great again because they can't fill their roster with 4* from warm states with beaches like California, Florida, and Texas, is a narrow minded idiot who watches too much espn.

 

[Red_Alert]

There should be no more Noah Fant's leaving the state.

PERIOD!!!!!

Now that the girls volleyball team is tied with the football program, should we at least get coach Cook on the banner? Remove pot head Gregory.

I'm on board with Gregory being removed. That spot belongs to Suh, Glover, Winstrom, or Jacobsen. That's just D-Linemen.

Regarding coach Cook? What he's done is admirable. Eichorst suggesting that other Nebraska coaches in the AD go watch a Diaco practice as he was 'the best coach on campus' is a complete laugher.

However, Cook's not a good banner candidate.
I'll get behind putting Cook on the banner when there is a Women's Volleyball Forum created on tHoopla and it gets more activity than the College Baseball Forum. Deal?

I agree. However, maybe a pic of his daughter in uniform would be acceptable if taken from the right angle.
