His response to a guy tweeting about not going to Nebraska because of the weather. Think we have this one wrapped up unless he leaves Oxford with a big bag of cash

Put the ball in der wienershlinger and fire it into the crowd

Have this wooly mammoth femur to pass around. Surely they have a spare over at Morrill hall they could lend the program.

lately all i can do is hold my nose and vote for the lesser of the evils. this year i hated clinton...but thought trump was so much worse that i couldn't vote for anyone other than clinton. just give me someone who i may not agree with...but who i think is smart and honest and really has the best interest of the country rather than these extremists ideals and i would consider it a big improvement.

Just wanted to get a general snap shot of what Frost's first team may look like for 2018.

Once you look at my list, I think you'll see why I'm to the point where I don't know if I can, in good conscience, vote anymore. 1) Pro-life - This is an absolute requirement. I have never and will never vote for someone who is not pro-life. Yes, I am a woman. And as a woman who has been pregnant twice (and blessedly has 2 beautiful young boys), my feelings on this topic have only gotten stronger as I've gotten older. 2) Universal health care - Sadly, the candidates who are with me on issue #1 are inexplicably against me here. I am also a strong Christian and I will not look my Lord in the eye one day and tell Him that I was in favor of letting anyone, particularly children, die because they couldn't afford to see a doctor. 3) Legalize marijuana - I've never touched the stuff and have on interest in ever doing so. But to me, it just seems logical to make it legal and tax it the same way we do tobacco. In addition, I'm tired of people being sent to jail over something that is, as far as I can tell, actually less dangerous than alcohol. Remove the burden from our courts and prisons, stop creating criminals who now have had their lives and families destroyed, and take in more money in taxes... seems win/win/win to me. 4) Fight for the 2nd Amendment - Strong proponent of the right to protect myself and my family and will not vote for anyone who seeks to take that right from me. Find me a candidate that is with me on all 4 of these and I could overlook a lot of other issues.

@Kiyoat Husker Well said my friend. Our interests overlap a good deal. Not perfectly, but I really like your list. @BIG ERN Preach brother! My current readings overlap heavily with what you're discussing there. Economic inequality is a top issue for me right now. This tax bill is a powder keg for making it worse. For me, I weigh each candidate on the merits. I think I voted for some indies or conservatives for local races in 2016. Honestly, I want someone I feel like I can trust to actually work in my interests and work to make our society better & not just someone who hocks snake oil or spits out the right talking points. I still maintain 2016 should have been no contest. I don't care how refreshing Trump was or how tired we all were of Clinton. That guy was DQ'd on the merits for me as soon as he demonized immigrants & mocked a disabled reporter. Let alone going after John McCain. He's grossly unfit for his office based on his character alone. The compulsive lying also led me to believe I couldn't count on him actually fulfilling much of what he promised anyway. I wish more people would've agreed. My interest list is currently what I think any challenger for Trump should run on in 2020 & consists of the following, roughly in order: End corruption & cronyism in Washington. I'm tired of special interests running the show & thinly veiled quid pro quo. Trump's administration is by far the least transparent & most corrupt of my lifetime. End gerrymandering & a new Voting Rights Act that restores voting rights for all Americans. A rigged voting system, either way, is morally wrong. Find a way to return to public funding of elections - dark money in politics has a corrupting influence. Make election day a holiday. Improve the economy for the lower and middle classes. Stop ceding power to the ultra-wealthy & gigantic corporations. Bring a big stick & be prepared to use it on them. Restore the power of unions - right-to-work laws marginalize them at the behest of right-wing special interests, & thus marginalize workers. Be prepared to do some trust-busting one in power - I'm incredibly uncomfortable with how much power we're ceding as a country to corporate America through mergers and the like right now. Universal healthcare. This is almost inseparable from #3 because they both have massive economic implications for all Americans. Republicans have bungled their attempt at reforming healthcare & in fact needlessly made it more expensive & less obtainable through their tax bill. Restore the EPA to a functioning agency. Pruitt is running it into the ground & the contention that his EPA is anything but a corporate interest puppet is a joke at best. If we don't face the facts & make real strides against climate change soon, we are ruining the planet for future generations. There is one modern political party in the world that decries climate science & tries to muddy the water, for obvious special interests - the American Republican party. It's beyond time we stop pretending they're making an intellectually honest argument on the climate. Improve the educational system w/ a focus on civic education. I can speak only for my own generation, but far too many Millennials have a tenuous grasp on political matters at best. We need a smarter, more engaged electorate if we are to maximize our political system for our own interests & prevent obvious frauds like Trump from rising to power in the future. Large-scale infrastructure improvements. This would be a great way to both provide jobs to Americans in need of work as well as improve our own transportation. America's infrastructure is sorely in need of upgrade. I'm not talking the type of half-hearted public-private partnership cheapo attempt favored by Trump or the GOP either. Dumping public money into this would be expensive, but it's a very worthwhile long-term investment. Criminal justice reform. Return to Obama era policies. The Trump/Sessions DOJ heavy-handed "law & order" approach is an antiquated relic of a bygone era that drives our law enforcement & the communities they serve further apart & inflame both sides, rather than bringing them together & building trust. So far as I know, their approach hasn't shown to empirically be superior in any way& thus I don't see the point unless you're virtue-signaling toughness. I'm still in disbelief that a POTUS joked about law enforcement roughing up citizens. Even joking gives implicit permission to utilize such techniques - after all, they're funny, right? Reduce military spending: This one is a catchall that could be used to finance all of these other large-scale initiatives. I'm with several of you as well - we spend far too much money on the military & yet we still get the same "rebuild the decimated military" from the war hawks every election cycle. There's a lot of wasteful spending that goes into the military, but it would require political courage to call it out and try to fix it, so almost no one does so. Very NIMBY-like attitude toward fixing military spending. We can be allocating our finances in a much better way than feeding our massive war machine, IMO. Hell, even a shift of military spending to favor more in veterans benefits would be greatly appealing to me - we spend too much sending them to war & not enough taking care of them when they come back. Common-sense gun safety legislation. This is a touchy one and thus last on the list. Morally, I believe it is the right thing to do, rather than the unmitigated gun rights expansion approach favored by Congress right now. I'm not talking revoking people's guns either - America has a uniquely pro-gun culture and thus anything short of repealing the second Amendment probably isn't going to make a serious dent in gun safety levels here. I'm in favor of fixing the background check system, doing what we can to improve gun user safety (i.e., proof of training, biometrics, etc) & being able to research gun violence trends for more effective legislation. In general, a return to independent thinking instead of taking marching orders from the NRA would be desirable. However, this is not at all a politically advantageous issue for any Dem to run on, as there are so many single-issue gun voters they would repel by even talking about gun control at all, so naturally I would probably shy away from campaigning on it. I think that covers my list, for now. If any politician ran on this platform against Trump & stuck to the issues, I feel they'd cruise to a sizable victory & be well-positioned to improve the country immensely.

No

charts are to tough to understand...here is a better graphic of the tax plan

Don't know if Coach Frost reads this forum, but on the off-chance he does: Thank you for coming back to Nebraska, coach! I am more excited for Nebraska football than I have been in 10 years at the minimum. I love how in your interviews you talk about how much hard work is ahead. I love how you're not shying away from the immense challenge of fixing Nebraska football. And finally, I love that the program is finally heading in the right direction.

My good friend Bull Moose sent me this email and video. Enjoy!

It's really hard to take posts like this serious. Both TO and Solich inherited NC caliber teams. TO won his first outright conference title in year nine. Solich won his first outright conference title in year two. If you take out Solich's 02' season(4th in the North) and TO's 76' season(4th out of 8), Solich had an 81% winning percentage to TO's 78% winning percentage. With revisionist history, it always seems like I hear how TO never lost to unranked teams. He managed to lose twice in the 74' season to teams that finished the season unranked. In 77', he lost twice to teams who finished the season unranked. The only year other than the 02' season Solich lost to a team that finished unranked was in 03' when he lost to one unranked team. I get it, you don't like Solich. However, his only real fault while here was turning in a stinker of a season known as the 02' season. We can debate forever how he would have done had he been given more time, but he wasn't so we'll never know. We all know hiring Callahan was a mistake. However, we really didn't have anyone beating down the doors to come here. A lot of the coaching community was turned off when we fired a coach that was as successful as Solich was. I don't see firing Solich as smart. The smart thing to do would have been giving him more time. If he was as bad as you make him out to be, he would have eventually imploded much like Callahan did in 07' and Riley did in 17'. After the implosion, it would have been much easier hiring a better replacement.

We should grow actual corn on the sideline. If you create a turnover you get to grab an ear corn and husk it. GBR

I think that if one of our guys on offense coughs up the ball, they should have to hold (fake) dog poop. Behold the turd-over.

We should do something different. The player that gets the turnover should run to the sideline and let his teammates congratulate him while they cheer on the offense.

If the offense goes through growing pains in year one, I'm calling it now - it's gonna be the Tim Beck criticisms all over again. 'Too multiple!' 'Why do they do that looking to the sideline stuff?' 'Quit getting too cute and going away from what's working', etc.

That trash can fits Tennessee perfectly.

Do you think this is gonna hurt the walk on program that Frost is trying to build? Especially with the fact that those schools are cheaper than NU.

And Sugar

Wow. Nice on double-down on fake news. I understand the parameters of this board seek to keep the discussions tolerant, cohesive and coherent, so I'll respond just one last time. If you really understood the situation, you would never insinuate that T.O. could be "badgered" into anything like handing his legacy over to anyone he didn't want to hand it to. Also, if you really knew Frank and his family, you would never accuse his wife of being the whining type. Actually, T.O. did Frank a bit of disservice by strongly suggesting he keep the current assistants, thus putting Frank in the untenable situation of going from a member of a peer group to a leader of former peers. Not to mention that age, some physical disabilities on the staff, and some envy contributed to a very fragile and limited recruiting team that saw Frank having to shoulder much more of the recruiting burden than normally necessary. I believe that is a much more accurate description of the narrative. But, it's Christmas and the great thing about this country is that we can feel free to disagree. Happy Holidays!

Wow! That Army-San Diego State game was excellent! Tough, smash mouth football!

You mean like that bowl game we got throttled in?

No. Neither do the GOP, neither did the confederacy

Sorry, couldn't tell - it wasn't very funny.

His run game (and offense) was the probably the best we've had since the 90's. Certainly better than anything we had under Callahan, Watson, or Riley/Langs. Was he the best OC? No, but he also got alot of undue criticism. Remember, Bo was a micromanager.

I truly think, for the first time since Solich was fired, we have a coach that gets it. A clear vision and path to get us back.

Mavric, you have the point spread for the Temple game at 28 on the spread sheet, but it should be 25. Score of game 28-3.

Nope. Coaches at that level dont need anonymous validation or criticism, never mind have the time, it serves them no purpose to read forums.

Wonderful article.

Here is another great job by Chalk talk and the Frost fast offense....It was originally posted in the megathread, but figured it be good to see again. Part 1 https://huskerchalktalk.com/2017/10/22/lets-talk-scott-frost/ Part 2 https://huskerchalktalk.com/2017/10/24/talking-scott-frost-part-ii/ I like part 2 as it really explains "taking what the defense gives you" and how he uses one play to set up the next and uses formations to give the O advantages....I really like this part. The complexity comes in the simplicity. Kind of like TO's offenses..... The beauty of the Frost offense is that UCF only runs 5 blocking schemes for a large percentage of each game. Sure, they have a few nuances that they’ll roll out now and then, but the overwhelming percentage of their plays are run from these 5 base schemes:

Social issues are at the top of the list for me. Equality and respect for everyone is the most important thing for me. After that I am a little more conservative. Fiscal responsibility and more power to the states. I like these ideas but ultimately the social issues trump everything else. A bit off topic, but in response to @BIG ERN's post, I think cutting the corporate tax rate isn't a bad idea on its face, but that needs to come with closed loopholes that force corporations to pay that tax rate in full.

He's really talented at avoiding people. That might be an asset on offense

If he continues to not tackle he won't play at all.

I'm okay with this

? ? ? ? ?

I was wondering when Gdowski was going to show up ITT. He only started one season and, no matter how great it was, I don't think that gets you into "best ever" company. Van Brownson didn't even get as many starts as Gdowski. Humm threw a lot of picks (equal to the number of touchdowns he threw for basically). I completely agree with you about Lord as a passer, though. Only Crouch (4) and Martinez (9) made the top 10 for rushing yards in a career. Lord (8) is the only QB to make the top 10 for rushing yards in a single season. Martinez (9) is the only QB to make the top 10 for rushing yards in a single game. Crouch (1), Frazier (6), Taylor (7), and Martinez (9) are the only QB's to make the top 10 for rushing touchdowns in a career. Crouch (3, 7, & 8) and Frost (4) are the only QB's to make the top 10 for rushing touchdowns in a single season. Martinez (4) is the only QB to make the top 10 for rushing touchdowns in a single game. Crouch is the only QB to place in the top 10 for total points in a career (3) and total points in a single season (5 & 7). I went to Wiki to get some other rankings for this discussion. I guess that there would be more than ten for some categories, with ties, so I apologize for some false advertising below.

So basically.....you disagree with the situations that don't benefit Husker football and agree with the situations that do benefit Husker football.

Pfft... Who among us can't do this?

Yeah, this thread is about Noah Vedral I think.

These guys can do whatever the hell they want and don't owe us anything. Hope he picks where he wants in the end. Christ reactions to recruiting are annoying.

I agree. The Bee Gees sucked.

The practice issue is so, so, SO important to the development of these kids. A walk-on isn't going to develop and prove what he can do by watching everyone else practice.

Anyone who signs their name King at the end of the letter reminds me too much of LBJ. Dont want

Big deal! It's about time Nebraska opened up their stingy pocketbook and got a real football coach that cares about the state of this program! I say you get what you pay for and we've got ourselves a winner. GBR!!!

The length is fine. If he succeeds, he'll coach here til he retires in about 30 years. If he leaves, somebody will be buying him out and it will be a nice refund. If he fails, well, the program is toast anyway so, as Hillary would simply say, "what difference does it make?"
