I wouldn’t think so either but who thought Matt Rhule would get another 2 years added at 12 million/year? Statistically he’s near the top in passing unless you look at sacks taken.
I think that the sacks taken is a pretty big part of us losing games.

I'm ok with a rich Nebraska guy dropping 5 million on the mich qb, and like 2 million on Caleb hawkins...then other donors can focus more on the lines and lb's.
If we have a rich Nebraska guy who would drop $5 million a year on a QB, that person needs a psychiatric exam, STAT.

I'll be hypocrite 1A for you. I am a teacher, and I'm proud of the impact that I've had on the lives of young children. I also wonder why it seems that firefighters have it easy 95 % of the time.

I also know that if everything was on the line, I could not do what they must do to execute their profession. As a result, I appreciate those folks
If teachers had the union/marketing campaign that firemen have created, it would be amazing!

We get hit by students, yelled at by parents, attacked by students and parents, slandered by students and parents and shot and killed...

But firemen are these amazing heroes for putting water on a flame. Again, they are brilliant.

Yes, I could be one.

Dude, I am applauding them! The marketing they have done and their union is amazing.
You are applauding them because you believe their job is easy because they aren't fighting fires 8 hours each shift, not because what they do is dangerous or worthy of their hero status among the population. You are being disingenuous at best.

I am being undisingenuous.

They are brilliant, like I have said over and over, they have the greatest union and marketing ever.

Not everyone, but those that put their own lives on the line to protect those who can't protect themselves. They are.
Ohhhh, Day care workers are heroes, because those little kids can't protect themselves!

CNA"s, heroes.

All parents that take care of their kids...heroes.

Nobody thinks what you claimed.
So they are or are not heroes?

I think they are heroes and I think they have done an amazing job creating the hero worship.

I just think they they are overpaid but I think they should take every single penny they can get.

I mean...you are worth what you can get.
It is really that simple.

There is a reason that firemen are totally "overpaid" when 99% of their job is sitting around, washing trucks, watching TV and sometimes putting water on stuff...They pushed for it and they got it so they are worth it. They were smart about it.
I disagree with you. 50-75% of the fan base watched Raiola because of something Tom Osborne or Tommy Frazier did in the past. He wasn't worth watching if he was on a canadian football team...which he isn't actually good enough for at this point. The entire husker team, including Rhule are feeding off of the success of 25+ years ago. They aren't actually good enough to be getting the money or attention they get, they don't garner attention on their own. A free Nebraska walk-on could have put on the same helmet, and won 3-5 games for free, the extra few wins were meaningless...they didn't grow the program or make money for anybody. College football is a scam based on attachments people have from the past. The fact that our roster made anywhere near the same as indiana's...is criminal.

This is when you know they have done an amazing job. I am complementing them, I am calling them brilliant. But that is STILL not enough, people still demand more worship.
You are no complement to Firemen no matter how phony your compliments are.

Learn the difference there teach!

It is phony to say they have an amazing union that works hard to get them amazing pay and that they have done an amazing job marketing to the public about their job?

All of those things are true.

I wish the teachers union did that good of a job, I wish they fought to tell the public about how hard our job is and how often we get shot at (there are more school shootings each year than there are firestation shootings).

What I am saying is you are worth what you can command.

Like a movie star, is Tom Cruise "Worth" 30 million dollars a movie? Clearly anyone could act in that movie. But he can command that rate.

He at least built his brand over decades and lot of hard work. he didn't start at 30 million. Rhule won nothing, Dylan did nothing and were just handed money because they are in the same position as Tom and TF. You analogy would be better if a black lesbian actress was casted in Top Gun 3 as maverick, and asked for 30 million because they were replacing Tom Cruise...and people would still fill the theatre and think the movie was good because Tom Cruise was in the previous ones but not this one. College football fans are that stupid. Go watch a movie with absolute posers and think it is good because of the N on the helment. College football isn't capitalism...if it was our program would be dead. Nebraska Football is a for profit charity, or a scam. People donate money for no service, people even just pay to go to a game, pay for food, pay for beer and just stand outside and watch other teams on tv, won't even go into the stadium. It is so weird.

There are a lot of bad teachers because there is almost no training, and the filters are non-existent. It is a good paying job for somebody who can barely graduate college and doesn't have any other decent skills. And teaching is mostly about kid management, not actually teaching content. Keeping kids happy and the appearance of doing things that look like school. Obviously putting 2000-3000 teenagers in a building with 100 adults for 8 hours a day, 30 kids a room with 1 adult, with no intelligence of placement is a recipe for management not teaching. If we stuck 30 dudes from the free board in a room with a moderator, and made them sit and be quiet and listen, there would be no teaching...but a good teacher would do a lot of management until the bell rang. We learned during the pandemic that nobody cares about learning, nobody wants to pay for it but we do care about child care, and we want our kids babysat so we can go to work and make money to buy stuff. We still want our doctors and lawyers to know stuff but they have to learn that somewhere else.

Sure, but that is the same for every job, isn't? When you NEED them, they are worth the cost.

Assuming no one is hurt in your home fire......you have insurance.
Are you implying that we could possibly just let houses burn themselves out? You do realize that whole neighborhoods would go up in flames without a timely response by firefighters?

Also, are you 100% certain that a fireman didn't bang your fiance or wife at one point?

No, you are inferring that.
