Yeah, between that (his wife was cheating on him with her personal trainer) and his youngest son's illness....I think he has lost some focus. It showed big time in the Peach Bowl. Can't blame him... As for the Gata's....losing Grier really tanked your season. Treon is soooooo bad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I feel so sorry for the poor man and I hope he cleans her out, frankly.Treon Harris doesn't belong in big time college football, I totally agree. And now Grier is out of here, so we'll be stuck with a FRESHMEN quarterback. In the SEC. God help us. Edited January 2, 2016 by MormonGator Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest MormonGator Report post Posted August 16, 2017 Ug! My season isn't starting out good. Coach McElwain suspended a bunch of players including our star wide receiver Antonio Callaway. This is his (Callaway) third offense. He's been involved in a sexual assault scandal, two drug scandals, and now this. A lot of people down here are done with him, even though he's incredibly talented. :: sigh :: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seashmore 633 Report post Posted September 6, 2017 Go Big Red! The only game I typically bother with is the Husker-Badger game (for once not during General Conference this year), but that's because my facebook feed gives me no choice. I'm a Badger girl in a Husker world; literally half of everyone I know will be watching that game and talking about it. Although I may end up with some interest in the Husker-Hawkeye game.

It's like the Red Sox in Boston during the early 2000s or the Green Bay Packers in Green Bay. You need to have a basic understanding of the Gators if you want to make small talk with 35% of people here, easily. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You need to have a basic understanding of the Gators if you want to make small talk with 35% of people here, easily. It's easily twice that in Nebraska. Not even joking, Memorial Stadium (where the Huskers play) is the third largest city in the state. Per Wikipedia: Quote At the conclusion of the 2016 season, the stadium holds an ongoing NCAA record of 355 consecutive sellouts, which began in 1962. When full, Memorial Stadium holds more people than any Nebraska city except Omaha and Lincoln. There's a local who holds viewing parties so elaborate that he has bleachers in his backyard and makes up tickets to distribute as invites. Grocery stores dye bread and sell it as Husker bread. There are no lines at Walmart during game time. I know someone who attended a funeral, and the woman in the casket was such a fan that instead of a moment of silence, they turned a radio to the game at which point the Huskers scored a goal. Missionaries across the state know when the games are because the mission presidents strongly discourage (if not outright prohibit) tracting during the game. (Prearranged lessons are ok, but if someone is at your door during the game, you ain't buying whatever it is they're selling.) I've seen Cheeseheads and had relatives who lived in Green Bay; one of my cousins even got engaged at Lambeau. Packer Nation is to Husker Nation as the moon is to the sun. The sincere devotional element of both fandoms perhaps explains why many Nebraskans choose the Packers as their professional team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I love when athletics are more about community and sportsmanship than sports. Team Jack, and the story behind it, exemplifies that. Long story short, Jack was a young child with a brain tumor. His dream was to meet Rex Burkhead, a Husker QB in the early 2010's. He was quickly adopted by the team, and then the whole state. During the spring scrimmage game in 2013, the team arranged for Jack to come out and run a 69 yard touchdown. http://youtu.be/_Jmisv1Spck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
