Up for debate.

I think most of Husker Nation has vastly underrated Mr. Stanton.

I already explained on the Red Zone why I didn't put him in there....

It was because I can't put a guy in my top ten when I don't think he will be starting here for a long time, maybe even ever.

If I had to choose between him and Armstrong, I would pick Armstrong. Because of that, Stanton doesn't make my list.

If Armstrong wasn't here, I would probably have Stanton in my top five.

Good call on the Long Snapper....should play right away.

not sour grapes but anxious to watch and see if singleton stays eligible.  huge athletic body that many thought would be a linebacker in time.  he did not make it in to wisconsin academically and i am not sure how nebraska got him to qualify.  figured he would end up at memphis or someplace like that.  i know most wisconsin fans were bummed that he would not suit up for us but it was an ongoing saga as to whether he would qualify.

"he did not make it in to wisconsin academically and i am not sure how nebraska got him to qualify"- WI fan badgering the Huskers

Is this true?  Seems to cast Nebraska in that "N for you know what" BS.

We all know who is ahead of who here in the Academic All American lists.

Pay attention to your own recruits there, guy, and see you maybe in the Champ game.

He did not qualify out of high school for the 2012 class when he was a Wisconsin commit.  He went to prep school and got everything in order.  Since there was a coaching change at Wisconsin, he opened up his recruiting again.  He enrolled for this spring semester so he has to be academically cleared.

ok.  i have heard he was not getting into wisconsin so he opened up his recruitment.  I am not 100% on this but it is something to watch going forward.  for the douch bag above, i have no ill will with nebraska and have a good friend who is a diehard husker.  it is not sour grapes as that is how i started the posted.  his academics will be something to watch going forward b/c of his difficulty getting qualified.

So what's the likelihood that both Finnin and Kondolo both start on o-line next year?

Nice. Your second post over here and you are calling a Nebraska poster with over 1000 posts a douch bag. No wonder the rest of the big 10 warned us about the Wisconsin fans.

don't think so.  I count over 100.  plus his post was that of a douche bag as i meant do harm with my post.  I don't really give a rip about what the rest of the big ten warned you about.  don't like our fan base b/c i called one of your fans a douche bag.  stop being such a pussy.  just b/c he has 1000 posts, doesn't mean anything.  we have some of our worst posters with the most posts.

SEE MY MUSCLES?!?!?!?!?!?

Thanks SSK and Sandbar, I have my moments as we all do, but appreciate your support. It seemed to me that it was another one of those jokey comments that some of the BIG (Mythigan and yes, Wiskey) fans endulge in. His retort does not surprise me. For people who think of themselves as highly educated and superior to others, they let you know who they really are by their reactions to any challenge to their opinions. 

We all know who is ahead of both of those programs, regarding academic excellence by athletes. Reference  the Academic All Americans list. They should check it out sometime. Degrading comments about Nebraska, especially academic comments, I never let that cheese across the plate, no matter how many Nebraska fans they may claim as friends.

i am sure you have plenty of academic all-americans majoring in basket weaving.  don't get started down this road.  it has nothing to do with what my point was.  i am sure that singleton will probably not be one of your distinguished AAA's.  It all has to do with who you allow into your school.  If you have noticed, there is a huge difference in recruiting rankings between the big ten and the sec.  news flash, its not all b/c the best players live in the south.  it has as much to do with big ten schools not being able to get top prospects through admissions.  if you don't think this is a  problem with many of the schools in the big ten, you are delusional.

Wow. You come over to this board knowing **** about the Huskers support and values for academics in Athletics and post this gem? Way to prove NU1962's point. Unreal

That is the problem. You had no point. Other than showing whiskey colors. We get it. We understand how you are. Now run away.

Appreciate the way Josh says these things.  I'm sure Josh knows as well as anyone that Mr. Stanton will be only one play away (injury) from playing....potentially.  You just never know what will happen and you hope the next guy up will always be ready.

I don't predict anything at this point, especially at qb. Who saw Martinez coming?

I remember when everyone was sky high because the fantastic Bobby Newcombe was set to start at qb. Crouch was lost in the shuffle. A year later Crouch was leading us to a conference championship and went on to win a Heisman.
Johnny Manziel, if I had told you this time last year he would not only start as a frosh but would win the trophy you'd have thought me an idiot.

Stanton VS Armstrong.

Almost impossible for  me to make a comparison when neither one has seen a down on the field in a competitive game. ............After all, I thought initially ...Cody Green was going to be a good QB here.

Armstrong has a clear advantage now...simply because he's already been here practicing, and competing, for a year.

But two seasons from now when Martinez is gone...it may be anybody's position to win.

Who knows.......we may get our own version of a Manziel out of nowhere.
