Dont you have to tackle in football?..if you don't practice it at full speed...how do you get better?

Visitor

beginning to be not football

Jeff Barker

Nebraska has had plenty of tackling issues in last couple years.... this would be a horrible decision.

jrs1956

Horrible idea. Tacking well, especially in space, requires lots of repetitions at speed. For most of the last 10 years, Huskers haven't done well at it.

Dean Iversen

To teach tackling fundamentals, you have to tackle. Not saying it has to be during a scrimmage, could be one on one training, but it seems that at least SOME tackling could be beneficial.

Jerry Wilks

It's tackle Football, come on, get with it!🏈🏈🏈

Scott Snell

Practice makes perfect. You need to practice tackling to be and get better. You will lose some fundamentals when you stop tackling during the regular season. Practice is meant to get better and iron out the problem areas.

Scott Ferguson

not practicing is only going to lead to more injuries.

Jerry Williams

Where do you get the practice. How do you get to the big game, practice, practice.

Ken Larson

It's football-dont like the sport, pick another!

Jerry W. Morrow

If you wait for a real game to practice tackling all your going to do is increase the injurys

Joe Lazure

Like any other sport, practice makes perfect and the one thing you can't get rusty on throughout the season is tackling.

Stephen Johnson

They already use poor tackling techniques

Stop trying to eliminate the violence in a violent game. That is one of the many things fans are drown to. If you don't want to two be injured as a player, don't play, if you don't like watching don't

Alan Blackburn

Practice like you play!

"The win came at a time in which the Husker football program desperately needed something good to happen. And what a win it turned out to be. MSU would go on to beat Iowa for the B1G championship and make it into the FCS championship series, losing to eventual NC winner Alabama. Without beating Sparty in Lincoln, the Huskers likely wouldn't have been invited to a bowl game." Read more: http://squareoffs.co/1VN4oh3 Show Less

"What a way to end a very difficult year! We may never know the full impact the win over UCLA will have on the Husker football program, but it probably didn't hurt this year's good recruiting class. Although the Huskers trailed 21-7 in the second quarter against a good UCLA Bruin football team, NU rallied to tie it at 21 going into halftime. The game was played in Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California on the day after Christmas in prime time on national TV and was the only bowl game played that night."

Showed nationally that the Huskers can come back from being down, can run the ball with authority, and can play a fairly mistake-free game (and win without controversy).

"There are a personalities from that era: the consummate winner Tommie Frazier, the beloved backup Brook Berringer, the passionate leadership of Grant Wistrom and Jason Peter, the hard-working in-state walk ons, the list goes on. And never forget legendary coach Tom Osborne transforming from the guy who couldn't win the big one to one of the greatest coaches in college football history."

any pub is good pub, you have to be in the news to get noticed, kids don't care about what ESPN says, they won't consider NU if they never hear of them. Of course a nice write up is what we all want, but the only way to fix this is to start winning again, GO BIG RED!!!

Jeff Barker

Im 50/50 on the subject... and only voted yes because ME as a fan would love to watch this episode. But I never trust ESPN when it comes to Nebraska. They have always found ways to screw us, talk bad about us, etc.. I feel like they will bring up more negatives then positives.

Peter Campbell

There is nothing ESPN can dredge up that isn't already known by people who still care enough about college football. It will show a program that was once not only relevant, but elite. Any team worth its salt for as long as ours was is bound to have some skeletons. We were STILL the best ever!

Visitor

All publicity is good

Terry M Young

A lot of great storylines to go along with a summary of just how dominant the '95 team was.

Rick Klatt

I'm usually not on the fence when it comes to my opinions but I find myself looking for the not sure button. I hope that the production keeps everything in perspective when it comes to the great things NU was able to accomplish as well as those things that we're not so proud of.

Joshua Howard

It has the potential to air some bad laundry but I think that would be good for the program.

John Grabouski

The proof will be in the pudding. Ask this same question a year after it premieres. It is history...a history we are proud of....overall. Yes, their are some skeletons in the closet. A lot of kids gave their all.....yes, including LP. The story should be told. Objective?..I havent said that.

Jerry Williams

Everyone knows that bad, it was a long time ago and what was was. It will also show a great team.

"Nebraska 30 for 30 will likely focus on the things that darken that period. Lawrence Phillips. Christian Peter. Tyrone Williams. Riley Washington. The tension between Tommie and Brook. Tom Osborne becoming a "win at all costs" coach. CBS reporter Bernard Goldberg. Scott Frost campaigning for a title after Osborne's retirement. Where Scott Frost was rumored to be the night Phillips was arrested. The decline of the program after Osborne left. Who knows what other skeletons and whispered rumors may come to life that would cast a permanent shadow over an era that Nebraska fans consider sacred?" Show Less

Don't trust ESPN when it comes to the Huskers

bjb1959

I don't think it will be a focus on the team. I think it is an excuse to document Lawrence Phillips issues. I don't believe they will focus on the team effort.

Justin Carper

There is no way a rah-rah Nebraska piece is interesting to the general ESPN audience. They'll go negative to get ratings.
