  3. You honestly think Frost is so arrogant that he is walking around the UCF offices (where he currently works, mind you)bragging about the offers he has gotten, really?

  7. The interesting thing in all of this, and I'm not saying I am buying in, but Frost and UCF are in Pennsylvania to play Temple tomorrow and Moos traveled separate from the team. Then a tweet like that from a longtime SI guy... This is the smoke that usually comes with these types of things. I don't know, but I sure don't want to do anything that may jeopardize UCF's season right now. Those kids have worked their tails off and I would hate to see the distractions rear up and bite them tomorrow. I would guess that is what the meeting is about.

  8. He is an unbelievable person. The first time I met Riley was after a Husker Baseball game in March of 2015. My best friends wife pointed him out as he was walking toward us on that bridge to the east of the baseball stadium . As Riley walked by, I said “Welcome to Lincoln Mike. Good luck this season” and then asked if I could get my picture taken with him. Handed my phone to my wife and my buddies wife goes “You’re not going to have Cassie in the picture?” Thats when Riley chimed in and said “Get in her Cassie there’s room for all of us!” Dude is a solid guy and he had me on board with the hire at that moment. It’s a love hate relationship for me. I hate to see him go as a person but love seeing him go because of the lack of progress he had here.

  9. Hey guys! I am a Scott Frost super fan. I have followed him since his days at Oregon. And I am now pretty positive that he is coming to Nebraska! I am really excited to see him as a P5 HC and for him to coach at his dream job! I am ready to become a Nebraska fan and ready to learn as much as I can about the team and the fanbase before September 1st, 2018!

  10. I actually feel bad for Mike Riley tonight. All this out there and you gotta get your guys ready to play a top 10 team. Gotta respect the guy still doing his job under these circumstances

  11. Well....uhm...here we all are on the Nebraska board speculating on things that haven't happened and mistaking wishful thinking for evidence.

  12. W-L being the thing that matters most is very different from W-L being the only thing that matters. TO going for 2 proves that wrong. He could have won a national championship if he kicked the extra point. Does winning a game mean more than winning a national championship? Or did winning the game outright and respecting the purity of the pursuit (in the victory, the action) mean more than winning a national championship by taking the easy way out and tying? There are millions of sentimental and philosophical reasons that that argument doesn't hold any water, and even if you ignore all of those, there are pragmatic reasons as well. A 14-1 season where you lose early and win the national championship (Ohio State 2014) is better than a 14-1 season where you lose in the national championship game (Alabama 2016). But the W-L is the same??? A 10-3 season where you finish #3 in the nation with a Rose Bowl win (USC 2016) is better than a 10-3 season where you finish #11 in the nation, third in your division, and play in the Citrus Bowl (MIchigan 2015). The W-L is the same??? Who do you think is the better team? 10-0 UCF or or 8-2 Ohio State? Obviously the team with more wins, right?

  14. I like Mike Riley and I do to an extent feel sorry for Mike because even though I wasn’t too thrilled about the hire, I still supported him. But in three years I haven’t seen any sort of progress to believe that the program is heading in the right direction and the UNI game was the final straw for me. Mike is a great guy but I believe his coaching skills may be more suited at a lower level Football program from the MAC, Conference USA, Sun Belt, etc

  15. When was the last time Riley had his guys ready to play? And what exactly has been his job this season? He's a statue on the sidelines. Nice guy, but this year has been a train wreck.

  17. 10-3 would not put us at 3rd in the west, but even if it did, I would be so completely 100% fine with Scott starting his NU coaching career going 10-3 in his first three years, including a #11 and a #10 finish, and an orange bowl appearance.

  18. Jesus people. If you don't want in on the rumor IGNORE THE THEAD AND THIS WHOLE SECTION OF THE WEBSITE. Rumors are entertaining for me to listen to. It's not like we are taking these words with anything more than a grain a salt. It's fun to speculate on, nothing more than that.

  21. At this point I want Frost equally for some stability of the program and to shut the UCF douchers up. The Nebraska hate is comical and I can't wait to browse their boards when this is finalized.

  23. Well, its been 8 months since I took my leave from HB and after a long deliberation and heavy thought, I decided to log in and see what comes of it. Love the board, just had to get away from the political chatter. Let’s see what the day brings! Good reading you all, I have lurked now and then.

  24. I’m thinking it will be packed out because it’s the last Nebraska football game of the season (we all know how we dread off season!). I’m hopeful anyway because these boys need our support especially the Seniors. GBR!

  25. This is the most accurate thing you've posted in this thread. Gruden lives next door to a family friend (not kidding, I've been to the house before he bought it). He does not want to coach college football.

  26. I don't think even LeeAnn Tweeden describes it as an "egregious abuse." She describes it as wrong, and she (rightly) spoke up about it. Certainly Mr. Franken should suffer consequences for this, we're all in agreement on that. What those consequences should be is the question, and it's not unreasonable to gauge each situation separately and figure out the best way to move forward from it. Al Franken does not represent all men in power, and should not suffer the consequences of all abuses of all men in power. He should pay for what he has done in a reasonable way. If that means getting counseling, a censure from the Senate, paying a monetary penalty, or losing his job, fine, whatever's reasonable. But let's not jump to Z when we're at A.

  27. You're taking away his career. That is absolutely a nuclear option. There's nothing measured or reasonable about that, it's just 0-100 immediately. The consequence for every kind of unwanted sexual advance cannot be that you lose your job. We have to have measured, reasonable responses to these things. Manipulating a stage scene so that you kiss an actress and take a sophomoric picture where you pantomime grabbing her breasts should not be treated the same as rape or pedophilia. That smacks of McCarthyism, and is another wrong, not a redress. Let's not make the mistake of treating every instance of unwanted behavior the same. Let's continue to reason our way through these things. We can be reasonable and still respect and provide protection for women.

  29. The sock, much like our boy Jessica, was a HB poster that grabbed a second name and had everyone on the edge of their seats. Really didn't ever tell anyone anything that couldn't found on message board or some searching. Also wrote in sentences like Elmo from Sesame Street. Jessica is doing all the searching that most of us don't want to do.

  30. There is a chapter in the book "The System" about Moos and him hiring Leach. He doesn't wait around to find his guy. If he is following that same blueprint, he is already speaking with our new coach's representatives and likely close to finalizing a deal. After the Iowa game it be bang bang with the fire - hire.

  31. We fired a coach after seven years for going 9/10-4, not winning anything, routinely getting blown out on the big stage, poor recruiting results, being a raging insufferable jackass, and not being any closer to winning a championship after year seven as we were after year one. Nobody was talking about firing Bo Pelini after year 3. Some of us were pretty frustrated with the Washington Holiday Bowl fiasco, but kind of understood it because of Taylor's foot and the Big XII screwing us. There was still plenty of optimism and feeling good about the program having progressed every year and being right on the cusp after year 3 of having not yet won anything. Further, no Michigan people are really talking about hiring Harbaugh. Further still, Harbaugh and Pelini's performances were quite different. But sure, reduce everything to the numbers in the W-L columns if it helps you feel better about whatever it is you're trying to do - s#!t on Harbaugh? Make Frost start with unreasonable expectations?

  34. I 100% believe Leanne Tweeden's story about the unwanted kiss, (and think it is unacceptible), I think the photo constitutes a violation of her rights, as well. The characterization of "groping" is going into the realm of make-believe inflammatory speculation, IMO. And this revelation from Melanie Morgan is just plain opportunistic, hypocritical and purposefully inflammatory as well. Is it true? I'd like to see a little more corroboration. Witnesses, phone records, etc. Her track record in this area is extremely hypocritical: https://player.fm/series/the-trevor-carey-show/update-on-sex-surveys-at-fresno-unified-melanie-morgan-on-roy-moore-allegations 7 days ago on a conservative talk show railing against Roy Moore accusers "rushing to judgement" and she discredits the victims extensively. She has also been a loud proponent of Bill O'Reily's through his sexual misconduct issues.

  35. Man, this is a complete mess. We haven't even fired Riley yet, but we've hired Scott Frost a D-Coordinator from WSU and Brent Venables and retained Williams, Williams and Parrella. Gebbia and POB have transferred, while Terry Wilson and Noah Vedral have transferred in. Bookie has changed his mind and is all N again. Now all the players Coach Held has followed on twitter are not back N as well. Did I get everything covered? Great Scott! Does he do the block destruction stuff too?

  41. He is familiar with "Nebraska Way", and his success at the lower level was impressive. However, right or wrong, I will always associate Craig Bohl with Colorado's Chris Brown and 62-36.
