  1. Ok, I'm sorry I made you all wait for this and it's probably not going to be as in depth as you'd like but here goes. Coach Frost - Opened the clinic real positively by emphatically praising the number of coaches in attendance (640 which spanned across many states) - Emphasized playing and practicing fast, attacking each piece of the program fast - Showed us film of UCF and how he likes to formation people to death. The more formations the more opponents have to spend time in practice lining up. - Each one of his playcalls fall under the categories of "Tempo", "Motion", or "Unique Formation" - Emphasized relationships and made the comment about each player has a story, he wants to know each one. Coach Duval (Best one of the day) - This guy will completely change the culture of the weight room for NU. - Left in 2001, said this place was unrecognizable when he got back - Absence of Husker Power Logo (lifter squatting) - Praised Mike Arthur and Boyd Epley - Increase Lean Body Mass, decrease body fat - emphasis on lifting heavy and emphasis on vertical jump (if Vert is improved, everything else will -- Pro Agility, 10 yd dash, 40 yd dash etc) - Khalil Mack at Buffalo - As freshman weighed 219, 15% BF, 32 inch Vert --- As Senior weighed 265, 7% BF, 42 inch vert -- Squatting 900 lbs - No offers but Buffalo as senior in HS Coach Held - Talked about RB's - vision lining up with Frost - talked about various technique and Inside Zone scheme. Play fakes - Phenomenal coach Coach DeWitt - Outside backers are in special hands. - OLB's have to play various technique - Head up TE, Outside TE, etc... - Shock - Lock - Escape (engaging blockers and shedding) - Everything about this position is VIOLENT - won't have it any other way - CTS/DVE (Collision the S#!T out of them/Deny Vertical Entry) - fancy way of jamming receivers - rerouting is with feet and body, not hands I unfortunately missed practice the next morning due to the coaches social the night before. You know how that goes. Wasn't too happy about it, but I just can't handle the next day anymore like I used to if I go to hard the night before. Sorry! I know it's probably not exactly what you all wanted but the bottom line is that this thing is in great hands. I could feel the culture being changed while I was there. I've been to a Pelini Clinic and a Mike Riley Clinic, and man oh man...my eyes were opened to a whole different world when it comes to college coaches. These guys have the "it" factor and each one I heard speak talked about unified vision and their love for Coach Frost and how Scott is an incredible human being to his players. The theme that kept coming up was RELATIONSHIPS. With players, staff, community.

  2. Fantastic piece by Bruce Feldman. He did a fabulous job of encapsulating the energy, the optimism, and excitement coming from Husker Nation. We are so proud to have a hometown coach who gets the culture. Looking forward to a great season! https://www.si.com/college-football/2018/04/17/scott-frost-nebraska-huskers-turnaround-ucf-oregon?utm_campaign=si-ncaafb&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_medium=social&xid=socialflow_twitter_si

  3. I feel kinda like a player, I'm trying learn Frost & Co spread and get in better shape. So far I've found some good videos and pages. So far, I've lost exactly 0 pounds of fat and have put on exactly 0 pounds of lean muscle. Here are some links that I've learned a lot from. Please post links that you think will help me learn scheme (I don't need any fitness links, thx). Duck Fish has several videos on Chip Kelly's Oregon Ducks spread. These two give some good information on the inside and outside zone reads. Fish has goos info about other base formations too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ekf3RGWwqMQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6L1x5u1mNH0 This page has some interesting insight on the motion Frost uses to disrupt defenses. https://blogs.usafootball.com/blog/4999/how-scott-frost-evolved-chip-kelly-s-offense-at-central-florida This page talks about pulling the linemen. The meat of the article is just after a sweet video of Frost QBing the scout team running Navy's option. https://www.sbnation.com/college-football/2017/10/23/16501428/scott-frost-ucf-coach-offense This page puts the motion and line play together, lots of examples. https://www.landof10.com/nebraska/film-room-scott-frost-brings-pace-space-football-nebraska I don't know how I could watch football for 40 years and have such a shallow understanding of it. hahaha

  5. You keep doing this. You have a point but you're defending it with a nonsensical statement and then asking other people why they don't understand. Nebraska could have 100 QBs. That doesn't mean Burrow would have a 1% chance of starting here and a 50% chance at OSU. If you don't make statements like that, people won't argue them.

  7. If you are on Twitter, I recommend following SpreadOffense.com. He is a high school coach in the New Jersey area, but he LOVES the Chip Kelly/Scott Frost offense. He will post videos/gifs on his Twitter feed of cool plays he sees in all levels of football.

  9. I’ve got another odd one to add to the list now. I rebuilt my patio table It’s a rather large 5’x5’ bar height table. Had it for about 15 years but the shale/tile top had gone beyond repairing again. So I salvaged the ornamental iron legs and built a now steel frame and support and had it powder coated. But the pain was I poured a concrete top for it. Made a stainless steel pan only 3/4” high and filled it with 8800psi countertop concrete. Let it cure for 3-4 weeks, stained it and just put the fourth and final coat of epoxy sealant on it tonight. Every time I turned around on this project something went wrong. First I kept the concrete damp for about a week....should’ve kept it wet for the full three weeks. Let it dry out over a weekend (did it in my shop at work) and when I came in Monday morning it had curled upwards so that the 4 corners pulled up out of the pan.. Put wet towels on it and it would lay down flat within an hour but whenever let it dry it would curl back up. The staining was pretty uneventful but I intended to make it look like granite or marble.......wrong. It looks pretty cool and natural but definitely not like I envisioned before. Anyway, I cracked it across the middle when moving it but noticed that helped the corners sit back down flush so I cracked it the other way on purpose. Then the epoxy...FML. I rolled on the first coat like the directions said and got a ton of air bubbles that took about 1.5 hours to pop. Looked great when I left for the day. Next morning it had a ton of bubbles again, most coming out of the 4 major cracks but some inexplicably out on the flat surface. So I wet sanded it to remove all the bubbles and put another coat on. Figured Id use a flat flexible spreader to reduce the bubbles but still got quite a few just out of the cracks this time. It was looking pretty good but I had to sand out those bubbles and planned on one final coat of epoxy. Figured I’d brush on a thin coat just to shine up the sand marks and I’d be done. Well the stuff is supposed to kind of self level but I put it on so thin that the brush marks stayed in it. So tonight had to wet sand the whole thing again, used the flat spreader method and put the last coat of epoxy in it. It looks really good, finally, and I think I’m done with it. My advice- don’t ever try to pour concrete that thin and you can watch all the YouTube videos you want but those guys typically know what they’re doing and make it look easier than it really is. It came out great in the end but it was a lot more work and there were little problems every step of the way. I originally wanted to get a pice of granite or quartz cut to fit it and just drop it in. The $1200 price tag for that headed me to the concrete solution. Still got about $500 in it but it should be very durable and last forever. I’m glad now I did it but it was about a two month process. One things for sure, nobody has a table remotely like it.

  10. It's all about public perception. To the average fan, firing a coach after a 22 win season is insane, and they don't see a one year extension as a negative for Miles. He'll either get the boot or get a long extension after next year.

  11. You mean Scott Frost, our head coach, doesn't think that we're going to greatly defy expectations next year, and doesn't think we can win every game?!? SAD!!

  15. This has really been bugging me since Paul Ryan announced he was stepping down at the end of this term. He's been a complete and utter fraud his entire time as Speaker of the House. Completely abdicated his moral obligation to stand up to the monster that heads his own party because he so badly wanted a tax cut. Well, he got it. But just don't buy his BS about fiscal responsibility and the deficit. Paul Ryan has no good answers for the ballooning deficits that happened under his watch. TL;DR: He blamed deficits on entitlement programs (or the social safety net, depending on how you view the world) - explicitly thrusting responsibility onto someone else - and peaced out. But it's not just him. It's him AND the entire GOP, almost without exception, running this same scam: On The Deficit, GOP Has Been Playing Us All For Suckers TL;DR: The fiscal conservatism rhetoric we've heard from the GOP for 8 years under Obama (and before that under Clinton, and so on) is a bunch of dishonest dreck they have no intention of actually enacting. If you support these people because you're a fiscal conservative, just stop. If you believe what they say, you're the mark. If you truly care about fiscal responsibility, controlling spending and improving the federal debt, don't give these liars your vote. Here is what the federal deficit looks like. Notice what color tends to decrease the debt and which one tends to balloon it. (It continued going down in 2015 as well before rebounding in 2016 and in 2017 under Trump) Heck, even Forbes says don't blame Obama for doubling the debt. He had to, as a function of the economy he inherited and how we combatted the recession. His debt growth was lower as a percentage than W, HW or Reagan. A bit long winded. But my point is - if you truly desire fiscal conservatism, you have no business supporting this iteration of the GOP, with very few exceptions. They blow up deficits because they so badly desire tax cuts, lie about the effects of the tax cuts then blame-shift to someone or something else, typically Democrats. Democrats are actually the more responsible stewards of the federal budget and the deficit. Don't vote for them. If you support responsible fiscal policy, vote them out. /end rant

  16. Both parties are out of touch. Yes, the Republicans have completely lost their minds, but the general public would be wise to disown both parties. The American public needs to begin looking at alternatives who aren't on a corporate payroll.

  19. It's a vote of no-confidence from Moos. Basically, Moos is saying "I would have fired you this past season except you miraculously rattled off 22 wins." It sucks that we're basically going to waste another year treading water. But if the Frost hire is anything to go on, I trust Moos to get a good coach after this plays out. And hey, if Miles gets a great assistant, keeps his team mostly intact and closes a good recruiting class, plus competes well in the Big Ten next year, maybe he gets a real extension this time next year.

  24. I think it is a fair assessment to make that Ohio State has better players than Nebraska. It is also a fair assumption to believe that Ohio State has more talented players at the QB position for an offense that is very similar to what we will be running now at Nebraska. If the competition is close between two players to be the starting QB at Ohio State, and the player that winds up in second place is eligible immediately with two years to play, then they are probably better suited compared to the current QBs here already to be a starter at Nebraska who has no players with experience in an offense of this type eligible right now. However, I could also complete be on board if the coaching staff decides they like what they have for the future and do not bring him on board as I am sure that Burrow would be looking for a 2 year starter opportunity. I don't see Frost making a deal like that before he even sees the kid practice.

  25. Here's the thing: if Burrow transfers from OSU, he's transferring to be a starter. Would he be that here? Would Frost make that kind of a statement to him? I think the answer to both of those is a solid "No".

  27. ^what he said. Would love love love to snag this kid, but if we don't I'm not upset at Frost about in state recruiting yet. We've known all along this was going to be the toughest guy to pull. Riley would not have snagged him. You win some you lose some and if Frost can lock down Hickman and bring in the other stars out of CO and MO (STL particularly) then I think he will habe gone a long way to establishing recruiting dominance in our area.

  28. Um... First off, Henrich isn't originally from Nebraska. Second, His dad is an Iowa alumn. We aren't going to win the battle for every in state kid. We are working hard on him, he just has higher interest in other schools.

  32. They will work on him until the ink dries on paper. We aren't even into decommit season yet - an early commit right now just means x team leads. This is literally the first time he will be on campus with the new staff. They will get him on campus more times than just today.
