Friday Flakes: What Pill Would You Give Nebraska Football? Huskers News

I thought that the tweet below was pretty interesting. I mean, I wish we could give ALL THE PILLS to Nebraska. However, the rules are the rules and we can only choose one.

So if you could give add one quality to Nebraska football, which would it be?

It’s a tough decision.

Not losing a 4th quarter lead would be pretty sweet. Nebraska definitely needs that pill just to get it out of their head. However, an entire new offensive staff should help keep those demons away.

The argument for never miss a field goal is pretty solid. Did the other team pin you inside your one yard line after a punt? Kick a 99+ yard field goal.

I like the thought of never throwing an interception as well. Go five wide and try and fit it in every small window. The worst thing that could happen is an incompletion. I think you would be unstoppable.

I’m not too keen on being the fastest team in college football. That sounds like a stupid statement and maybe it is but there are just so many ways to counteract speed.

Best coached team in college football? Nah. What if you can’t recruit?

I think the worst option is to “never punt.” What if you actually need to punt like when you are pinned inside your own five yard line?

It’s fun to think about I’m going to go with never throwing an interception.

Here’s a poll which will settle the debate.

It’s Time: Patrick Ewing Needs to Step Down to Save Georgetown Basketball – Casual Hoya
It’s time.

When Patrick Ewing was hired in April 2017, the Georgetown Basketball program desperately needed change. They needed to change the way they defended, they needed to change the pace of their offense, and they needed to change how they recruited. Looking back, change doesn’t always mean improvement. Different doesn’t always mean better. The noble experiment of hiring Georgetown’s favorite son and basketball legend as the head coach and presumed leader of the program is currently failing badly. And the only way out—causing as little further damage to this once-storied program, and the legacy of John Thompson, Jr.—is for Patrick Ewing to step down as head coach.
