Nebraska walk program slipped for a number of reasons. The Dakota schools moving up to FCS put a lot more scholarship money out there for kids that would have walked on at the same time as tuition increased. Out of the 29 in state kids that have made the NFL since 2004, 17 played out of state, mostly at Dakota schools or for Solich at Ohio. Pelini especially just expected instate kids to walk on without much effort put into the program at the same time too hurt, especially since they weren’t committed to getting kids reps like Osborne did. Nebraska used to run multiple stations at practices with all the kids that got players a lot of work in. Hudl being started in Lincoln also got a lot of film out on Nebraska kids that wasn’t happening before which sent more kids to different schools. To expand the Conneally deal more, they have one of the most well known Angus purebred ranches in the world. There’s a ton of money there. Sure there a lot of farmers Coop scholarships and such but those get used at any school in Nebraska too. I had Purina feed scholarships to Doane in Crete. I don’t think you can really act like something that a ton of boys and girls got in Nebraska made a big difference.

So you have to believe this shadowy web of county scholarship and other scholarships paying the way of all these small town athletes to go to Nebraska and that was their secret adavantage, rather than the obvious explanation that it was cheap to go UNL back when the state actually supported higher education, and they had a staff that was willing to deal with the extra players and keep a freshman team around to see what they had in those players. Especially when there is only 1 D-1 school in the state and that was the only Ag school in an Ag State. The reason I use Terry Conneally as an example, is that he was a full ride football signee out of a class D-2 school in the Sandhills with a grad class of about 15, if we had this elaborate way of paying for small town kids, they’re not going to waste one of the regular scholarships on the one kid in the whole county that can play. As someone who grew up in small town Nebraska, this county scholarship bullshit has always baffled me, because it’s not something I ever heard until getting on to non-Nebraska message boards much after Nebraska lost their way.

Your best friends never fuck you just for funieses? If the county scholarship thing was a real thing, explain why Terry Conneally was on a football scholarship from Hyannis and not a county scholarship? Did Nebraska used to give track money to football players until they made them stop, sure. Did they talk truck loads of steroids, absolutely. Use Prop 48 for all it was, definitely. Look the other way for criminals, you bet. But County scholarships weren’t a real thing.

For some reason, you can't figure out the joke line.

He hasn't denied because he thinks you're a gullible rube. I've had relatives that played for NU in the heyday of the supposed county scholarships that paid their way to walk on, when they would have been the obvious choice for said scholarship. If it was such as sustained thing, one would able to find some actual evidence rather than innuendo. A coach saying something doesn't mean a whole fuck of a lot. OU coaches say it's a worthwhile school to attend. Doesn't make it true. Aggie thinks they are defending the country, and that doesn't make it true either.

No, I’m making fun of people that believe that there was a county scholarship program. That being said throwing bales builds a ton of lower body strength while teaching good leverage.

Shipped those steers today at an average of 914lbs. They really took off in the milder weather

Yes

All my clients who turned down free tickets to this game to stay in the field knew what they were doing. As as an aside it was the height of hubris by Frost to not to recruit another scholarship QB this year.

Now most hay is rolled or big squares, but it wasn't through the 70's and 80's, along with a lot less active dairies and hog farms now. The trick to lift 75lb idiot bricks all day was to use your legs, and the motion builds directly into what you would use for run blocking. You take that, and add pharmaceuticals and you've got yourself a running game. Nebraska also has a deep sporting culture, especially for football, and wrestling, as well as volleyball, and that played into as well. For a long time, Nebraska had the highest percentage of eligible boys out for football, which helped to feed upon itself as well.

Then explain why Terry Conneally was a full ride football scholarship from Grant Co. Nebraska population 746 instead of having a county scholarship. Same with Lance Lundberg from Wausa, and Dean Steinkuhler from Sterling. The truth of the walk-on program is that the state actually used to support higher education and it was pretty cheap to go down to Lincoln and give it a shot. Couple that with steroids and the natural leverage developed by throwing square bales and you could crank develop linemen and fullbacks, especially when they would go unscouted by anybody else, because there wasn't film on dudes from Humboldt and Ansely. There's a reason Hudl developed in Nebraska, because those folks knew how many kids were out there under the radar.

You don't seriously believe the County Scholarship myth do you?

Converting the old hotel on East Campus to offices finally bit UNL in the ass.

Local papers are reporting they still get paid

And downgraded back to canceled.

Upgraded to playing tomorrow morning at 10:30

I get that it was scheduled to be a National TV game, but we’ve know for days that weather was going to be problem tonight. Moving it up would have to make more sense that just hoping for the best and ending up with no game anyway.

This game isn’t happening tonight unless the want to get going after midnight

Nebraska may be worse than that, and Texas maybe better but Dorothy Lynch salad dressing will still be awful no matter what.

Sold 68 steers today at 148.00 based on 825 for September delivery on the video

In Nebraska pretty much every town above 900 folks has a Dollar General now. Most of those places already lost a Grocery Store because they were close to a bigger town or are remote enough that the grocery store is a little more insulated from it because other services like being a locker plant or delivery to elderly or other side deal.

Titanic and Avatar.

Having a girlfriend who used to live in Independence has really enhanced this season for me.

Not hitting his head has to be a tremendous bit of luck.
