WATCH: Peyton Manning takes subtle shot at Nick Saban over rebuilding comments

It’s doubly funny because Peyton is such a jokester and Saban takes himself so seriously

Happy birthday @drvenner and @InVOLuntary

there is still a Bonanza Steakhouse in Lebanon Va.

Discuss.

Only usefulness of those steaks, IMO…

What has Wisconsin and Iowa done?

Consistent top 25 teams

Not that the Nebraska faithful would accept that as a target, but that may be their first stepping stone before taking bigger steps.

Report: Nebraska tabs their primary candidate to replace Scott Frost

Do I think Campbell would bring some respectability and wins to Nebraska? Sure. Just not completely sold on his ability to return them to their version of the glory days.

Of all the jobs Campbell has turned down I just don’t get why he would take this one. He’d probably do fine there but he had some better situations he said no to, IMO.

His favorite color is red. He enjoys long walks in the corn fields.

A tap on the chest from Bru is worth a Bruce Lee punch. He miiight have extended his pointer finger and the guy went falling to the ground

I can confirm this fact from earth.

But does he own property in Lincoln? Otherwise, it’s no dice.

He drives a Lincoln. Close enough?

What has Wisconsin and Iowa done?

Since Nebraska fired Bo...

Iowa is 63-25 (42-19 in conf.)
Wisconsin is 65-23 (43-16)

They take big boys from Big Ten country and have developed lesser talent into great players. They are usually fundamentally sound teams with great OLs, good defenses (especially Iowa), and occasionally have a great QB or RB that take them over the top.

They are also teams with less prestige in Nebraska's division that have done well. They have shown how to recruit and develop in that same division while Nebraska chases a ghost.

I don't think the Iowa or Wisconsin blueprint will bring championships home, and it's certainly not recommended for SEC, but it's a goal worth setting and meeting. Then you can worry about winning the conference and making the playoff once you've bolstered your roster and built up the culture.

Have I said before I hate Iowa, Iowa State and the whole state in awhile? I do. They sux.

Anyone else wondering if/when the Florida realists will show up?

In every year prior, a few of the same folks reliably roll through a week or two before the Florida game to remind us how silly our hope is. And they have been quite more than right considering the scoreboard since 2017...2016.

Iirc it is usually @bignewt with a "don't do this to yourselves", maybe @nicksjuzunk with a good ole "Oh No Baby What Is You Doin?", and a couple others.

Or is everyone on board with unfettered optimism against Florida this year?

 

[Orange.]

In all truth, astronaut boy is ignorant to speak of a fact independent of hypothesis, as if he saw the sun itself in itself with his eye. Also arrogant.

Someone must have rung up NASA and said we need a flattering story for people with bright pictures to top the news because the new inflation figures are out.

 

[VOLSONLY]

Haha for some reason it shows up X’d out. I hit the reply tab and can see it. Lol good one

 

[gordonr24]

What has Wisconsin and Iowa done?

Both have remained respectable despite not being in talent rich states. It’s the model Nebraska should adopt.

 

[99Vol]

Good to have the team playing well enough for the 3:30 time slot again….

I am just enjoying the ride.

I'm sorry, you lost me at David Ub...

Was a ton of words for the most toasty milk take at the end.

I’m sorry, are you saying you know more about what space looks like than…..an actual astronaut?

Even more, *he* is arrogant?

 

[VolsDoc81TX]

Bingo^

We already had knowledge of this. One reason he didn't get the start last year was because he wasn't sharp in practice, and he wasn't sharp because he put a lot of pressure on himself. When he lost the job he had some closure and resolved to just having fun (also because Golesh watched him own everyone on a basketball court and saw how much fun he was having and told him to play football like that).

So when he got the job he was loose and was focused on having fun.

Big season. Big offseason hype. Fringe Heisman candidate in preseason. High expectations around the program. Who wants to bet he's looking rusty because he's anxious again? 1 loss should cure that.

Let him play basketball instead of losing a game…

He is arrogant. I guess he did flatter you. It's a special combo. I know that any claim about how the sun looks without stipulating conditions shows that he doesn't understand what science is. Yes. Is the world scientific community in an uproar at the wholly novel news today? Mathematical physics does not allow that what the human eye sees under circumstances x,y, and z is "the" sun.

 

[UTJoe]

Yup, 57

Happy birthday, young'un!

The Athletic must love us, they know we won’t pay to hear what Ubben has to say…
