  1. Not saying Nebraska will win or lose this game. But the fact that it has been since 2006 since they won back to back road games has no baring on it.
  2. I think they win 8. I have no idea which of those 8 games it will be. If they get a good match up, I see them winning their bowl for a 9-4 season. I am optimistic because I think the defense is going to be pretty good. You know top 30. I am optimistic because AM is not the starting QB this year. Whether you think he was the biggest problem on offense, the least of our problems or somewhere in between it was time for him to leave. Four years was enough as the starter. I am perfectly happy that Casey Thompson or Chubba Purdy as going to be QB this team. I like Thompson he wasn't Texas's problem last year winning games. It was the sieve of a defense that couldn't stop anyone. I think special teams will improve. Even if it is just average and not a liability that is probably worth 1 win.
  3. My thought is let the season play out before you are firing Scott Frost. I would have understood completely if Trev Alberts had fired Frost at the end of the season. He chose a different path, which I am also fine with. You just have to let it go. Unless Frost starts out something like 1-5 this year, he is not being fired at midseason. He has this season to audition. He knows that his job is on the line. Lets not throw dirt on his corpse until it is one.
  4. My point really isn't whether BP was right or wrong. But in life you can't really get away with the way BP treated people he didn't like for ever. It will catch up with you I haven't lived in Nebraska or the Midwest since 2011. The overall impression I get from people with a little bit of football knowledge about Nebraska historically and BP is that despite his record at Nebraska he was viewed as a pretty big a$$. They really didn't understand why Nebraska held onto him even as long as they did. His public persona away from Nebraska and the Midwest is of an out of control a$$ hole.
  5. I guess this is where I am at on the subject. You can't have complete contempt for your bosses. No matter how incompetent you may feel they are. Bosses don't like that and they will get rid of you. I was actually very surprised he made it past 2013 and the almost hitting a ref with my hat incident. Bo didn't win enough to get to act like that big of a d!(k in public to people.
  6. Oh, yeah just listened to the latest version of this. They spent the first 15-20 analyzing Frost's PC at Media Days. They are really just pissed because he didn't say anything. So they have to talk about him not saying anything.
  7. This is a very interesting take. If Frost gets fired mid season it is because the team is sitting at something 1-5 or 2-6 at which point he deserves to be fired. Trev Alberts will need no help from Shatel or any other media member to soften the blow.
  8. Yes, he did. The one in the afternoon had a lot of the same stuff, he obviously went back and edited it. The earlier one had a completely different tone to it. He talked about Frost being business like and it had a bit more of a positive spin. I bet an editor wanted a little more bite to the article.
  9. I like all of these things, but I would lose crab legs if I had to get rid of one. I like surf and turf. I like a little crab with a lot of steak. To the people that like their steak well done, to each his own I say. I don't like my steak rare either. A medium steak with a warm pink middle is good. My wife would lose the fried chicken or ribs. She tolerates fried chicken at some sort of get together but would never serve it at home. She hates ribs she thinks they are greasy. She loves sea food and crab legs are her favorite. I think you would be amazed at how many crab legs she could put away at an all you can eat place. When we go to one of these places, which are becoming much less common that is all she will eat. She doesn't want to waste stomach space on other food.
  10. I tend to agree. I don't see this being a vintage Wisconsin team. Unless they have some incoming freshman RB that looks like Johnathan Taylor I just don't see it. The difference in their team last year was the lack of a truly great RB. They had good ones but not that great one. I am not sold that this Mertz kid is the second coming of Russel Wilson either. There defense should be solid. Lets see how they look after their first game against PSU. They could be 1-2 after 3 games.
  11. Sure if BP would have won more games there is no way he would have been fired. You only get to act like an a$$ if you are winning a lot. Nick Sabin and Bill Bellichek get to act like jerks because they win a lot. Bobby Knight only lasted so long at Indiana because he was winning a lot. When he wasn't winning a lot he was more trouble than he was worth. I doubt very much TO knew how much Steve Pederson was despised in the AD office before he became the AD. My oldest brother knows 1 of the former assistant AD's that quit as soon as SP got the job, because he wouldn't work for the man. This is a guy that had worked at Nebraska for 25 years.
  12. Well I think BP problems were more the way he dealt with everything else vs. his record on the field. BP would still be here winning 9-10 games a year if he wasn't such a d!(k. Solich and Steve Peterson never got along when they were underlings. They were not going to work well together.
  13. You need to be consistently good, before you can be great. I think it will be interesting to see if Chryst does start adding things to the offense. He does like the forward pass more than Alvarez. I don't think he will stray too far from the formula. I don't think they are getting rid of the fullback. It won't surprise me to see an uptick in their passing and more use of the shotgun. We will see.
  14. Would love to have seen Rush on there farewell tour. Saw Motley Crue on their "Farewell Tour" how ever many years back. Alice Cooper opened for them and his show was way better. As soon as things open up I am taking my son to see RHCP's. It really doesn't matter where they are at we want to go see them.
  15. I was at this game I was all of 12 at the time. It was very much a let down and probably hard to get back up to play again after the emotional drain of playing so well against OU the week before. Missouri was decent that year. I think they ended up 8-3 or 7-4. They had a three headed monster on offense. Phil Bradley at QB, James Wilder at RB, he played quite a few years in the NFL and a guy by the Name of Kellen Winslow at TE. It was basically a game of who scored last won the game.
