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.

Thinking back on a conversation i had with my father (RIP) years ago about who he was voting for , and how much our priorities differed. When you decide to vote for a candidate what are your priorities? Do you vote based on one single issue? Strict party voter? Overall platform of the candidate? Likeability? I'm a registered Democrat and i feel like their basic philosophy more matches mine.I also try to vote based on things that directly effect my life. I can think of a few things i want my candidate to stand for. 1. Strengthened social programs . I've paid into these programs most of my life and i may need them some day soon. Fix them if needed, or leave them alone. I support a fair shake/ decent quality of life, for ALL citizens, and help for those in need. Im in favor of Universal health care also. 2. Military. I think we spend far too much money on the war machine , and have our hands in way too many countries business. I favor diplomacy and negotiations over war , and i support scaling back or ending the wars we are currently stuck in too. Death, and life destroying, of people on both sides, gets us nowhere in my opinion. I don't see the need to force our agenda, or assert our dominance on other countries either. Breeds hatred IMO 3, The workplace. i support strong workplace laws, unions, living wage etc. Anyone who works in the most prosperous country in the world should be compensated well , and be provided with a safe, fair, harassment free environment to work in. They should also be able to afford a decent standard of living for their efforts. Lets hear yours.

Honas?

Your right we did run well against Illinois,rutgers, and the other struggling teams of the conference. And there were many when he was here. Our hurry up offense racked up the points and yards and set records. But what good is that if you don't win titles. against Michigan state and Wisconsin those final years, games we needed to win to go to a title game we couldn't run the ball. Against wiskey we ran it 46 times for 118 yards. Whiskey piled on 400, with one guy. Against MSU only 47 yards on 37 attempts. When it mattered beck had nothing but a quick 3 and out. In those games I saw a lack of creativity and imagination. Something I felt you needed to run on those defenses. Instead we were painfully predictable, and shut down because of it. That's my two cents.

Not a knock on you - but every time i see you post i think about that presidential debacle in Florida back in 2000. Isn't that when things really started to go south with this program??? Guessing SF won't put up with any thing that dangles.

Do "warning points" ever expire, and fall off, or do they follow you around like a scarlet letter for the rest of your life? Just asking...for a friend.

They told him we wanted him at OT. He wants to play DT. Frost and Co are after him at DT.

Maybe now one of our teams will field a competent coach

Did you ever meet Solich? Did you ever hear about how he ran his practices and the lack of respect the players had for him? I knew people who played for Osborne and Solich and heard all the stories. Solich was not the caliber of coach or person to be head coach at Nebraska. He got the job because he whined about how he was owed it and Osborne got tired of his incessant whining and finally promised it to him. After the 97 season, Osborne continued to have reservations about whether turning things over to Solich was the right move. So Solich sent his wife to guilt trip Osborne about how he couldn’t go back on his promise. So rather than having a national coaching search to find the best candidate available to take over a team that’s won 3 titles in 4 years, we get Frankie Solich, a tiny man, weak leader, mediocre coach, and very flawed human being, who quickly turned greatness into mediocrity. i get that you like Frankie. He was a tough little back as a player and a long time coach and coordinator. But he was a terrible fit to be the head coach of a program like this. Osborne shouldn’t have been in a position to name his successor and he made a horrible decision handing the reins over to Frankie. in terms of the people who wanted to come here and replace Solich, I think a lot of those limitations were because Steve Pedersen was running the search.

Floor to ceiling IMO: 5 to 9 wins. I'll say 8-4 with going 4-1 in the last 5 games, carrying momentum into the recruiting home stretch.

Bigger schools have been scared off by his grades and uncertainty if he will qualify academically. Bryant has been told that he would get an offer if his grades get in order. He is a good enough athlete to play RB or DB at the college level, although DB would probably be his best position.

...and Harrison Beck Curt Dukes Bubba Starling Carl Crawford Brian Helgeland AJ Bush Pat Witt Zack Darlington Kevin Dillman (!)

https://www.essence.com/news/jazzy-rowes-roommate-brianna-brochu-no-hate-crime-charges Been following this story for awhile, and to me it is appalling this girl didn't get charged with a hate crime. What she did was downright evil and cowardly.

Hey, you're all good. Everybody should feel comfortable expressing their opinions here. I'm not trying to castigate anybody. In all honesty, I didn't even notice the first column indicated donations to Republicans. I just thought the logic that somehow Dems were also culpable for this was a bit off since none of them voted for the bill. You're definitely right that they have their own share of folks who get a lot of money from big corporations. This whole ordeal just makes me want someone like FDR who is actively combative to big business and established wealth while being unashamedly pro-worker & pro-little guy in 2020.

Well. If you spend maybe 30 minutes watching Scott's UCF teams on YouTube two things will stand out too you. 1. His entire offense is mostly run out of the shotgun. Scott's offense is a spread offense. 2. Milton is not a dynamic runner. Good, but not a world beater. Martinez fits that Milton mold, but better in some ways. I'd be mildly surprised if any of our QBs line up under center next year unless near the goal line.

I think I have one overriding priority right now and that is 1) not desiring authoritarian rule

Not NU related, but this is a Petrino like move. All of these kids should be released from their LOIs.

Passing on a top player in your home state doesn’t seem smart IMO.

They have these things called airplanes you know.

He used to but it really freaked him out with 90% of the posters having his face as their avatar.

Please don't do that.

If the standard is "help Americans keep more of their money", then single-payer healthcare should rocket right to the top of the priority list for both parties.

I'm willing to bet that the blonde next to Barret is his high school sweetheart, and the curly haired brunette is the blonde's long time friend from elementary school who has never been as popular, and is not willing to let go. Ever.
