Welcome to The Platinum Board. We are a Nebraska Husker news source and fan community.
I think they have better talent on the lines this year. BUT I think the coaching will be worse. Shumur and their new o-line coach aren’t better than Lewis and O’Boyle and they have a brand new DC. I didn’t think Kelly was great but I’m sure he helped keep the D and team together.
if we have mediocre QB play that game we win. Instead we literally had a stick of butter at QB.
They're also in a new conference, which means everyone they play is a new gameplan whereas other teams can focus on them as the new team.
True, completely forgot about that. Although I do think the Big XII is easier than what the PAC-12 was last year
This is their schedule this year.
Their week 1 opponent is looking at CU on the calendar like the Steve Buscemi character in Billy Madison look at his wall of revenge.
Have you forgotten that The Simulation™ exists?
Probably needed some oxygen after walking around the room
Whoever wrote that article could’ve paid a bit more attention in class too. The kids are so disruptive that the professor went as far as suggesting that they take in person classes instead of online?I love how this is framed as Deion doing something good when it's his fault the behavior of his team was that bad in the first place
Sanders was on the receiving end of an email from a professor in regards to players from the team, and it wasn't pretty.
"This semester has been extremely challenging for me as a professor," said Sanders, who was reading the email aloud to the team. "I have never felt so disrespected in my ten years of teaching. Students do not follow even minimally and it slows down my class so much. They make it clear that they don't want to be here and have very little personal responsibility..."
The email went on to express to Sanders that the athletes in that class in particular "do not bring anything to the table", ruin the class for other students, and even suggested that they take in-person classes as opposed to online classes.
Sanders went on to show emails about specific individuals and would then ask a staffer if that player had an NFL Draft grade, to which the staffer replied that they didn't each and every one. Sanders then had a harsh message to the team after he was done reading the emails.
"You gonna get something out of this," Sanders told the team. "You gonna be a man or you're going to be a great football player. Since you choose not to be a great football player, we gotta make you a man."
Later in the video, Sanders spoke candidly about his feelings regarding the situation.
"I'm a little frustrated, I'm a little angry right now because we in this new collective in NIL state of mind...We got youngsters that's all in on one side of the game. 90% or 95% of your roster ain't going pro. So, coaches we got to emphasize education, we got to emphasize life, we got to emphasize the next step the next elevation if it don't work in the game."
It turned him from a 57 year old man into a 34 year old!
