I learned that Scott Frost said in his press conference, "That's just totally false," when asked about the rumors that he is the next  coach.
The game meant absolutely nothing to me ... especially the second half.  No comment needed on the game.  MR will have a .500 record at  after next week.
FYI, I would have lost my bet this week.  Was willing to put down $10K on this game.  Thought it would be a blowout.

 

Dude, if you're willing to throw away 10 grand, I have a checking account that's a little light right now and could use a substantial cash infusion.

The tackling is absolutely attrocious. The DB’s just throwing shoulders or diving at ankles is what kids do who don’t want to do what it takes to make a solid tackle. I didn’t play a lot of football, but I played enough to know that sometimes it hurts to make a proper tackle.  I can’t remember I saw a Husker defender attack a ball carrier’s knees/thighs and wrap up.  Its anything but that and it shouldn’t be blamed on rugby tackling. 

This is dead on.  Repetition helps with that "pain".  They are afraid because they are not practicing it.

I thought Penn State was 30 points better, regardless of it being at home for them and the crapola tackling team that we have.  I think they got up to that comfy lead and then just checked out.  Glad I didn't bet.  Thought that was easy money.  These are our Huskers and the new traditions are beginning.

I learned that Diaco better have a good financial planner because he should never work again for any amount at the this level.

He all but told us he was gone in his postgame. There is less and less doubt that he's both gone and has known he's gone. 

 

 

Just watched is PC after the game. That was really odd. Riley seemed upbeat and almost looking forward to the end of his career at NU. I’m sure he’s been told by Moos that he’s not coming back.

It feels like 3 years

It feels like 50 years. If I had terminal cancer with one year to live, I would want MR to get one more year, because it would seem like forever.

I hope you don't have cancer forever.

Well they were 30 points better.  It was 42-10 at halftime, if I recall.  Unfortunately, to win the bet (as you're well aware) the final score needs to beat the spread.

 

As far as these "new traditions," I don't like where they're headed.

I would be to if I knew I had a multi-million dollar severance package waiting for me.

Penn State shows exactly how fast a program can be rebuilt. And they had much further to go. 

 

 

Not the best example since it took Penn State 5 years of going 8-4, 7-5, 7-6, 7-6, then finally going 11-3.

Yep, he’s got a great retirement package coming his way.

Those first 2 years were under Bill O’Brien and an outdated offense, and they were working with NCAA sanctions. Penn State has to like their trajectory under James Franklin.

Ya, at halftime I was regretting not making the bet ... but I was also feeling they might let down and get soft.  There was no reason for Barkley to not go for 200+ ... they just saved him from getting hurt ... which I totally get.

I learned I can rake my entire yard, go out to supper, do a few brew tours and end the day knowing HCMR chalked up another loss.

 

Hopeful for a new beginning.
