Erin is always good for these little off-beat anecdotes. I like reading her stuff.

You've been brainwashed to believe that because the government says "this" type of vegetation is legal to possess but "that one" isn't that it's this heinous act. I'm going to prescribe you 10 hours of Ron Paul YouTube videos. Please turn in a three page report in triplicate on my desk by Monday.

Who are you arguing with?

Hey, buddy.....

Over the line.

A team that smokes together, stays together.

***eyeroll***

How could this be? Frost doesn't want a team of pot heads? I'll wait for all the burn outs to wake up in their mom's basements and post how stupid Frost is, how stupid the NCAA is, etc etc etc. Message board guys must be smarter than the head coach.....as always.

… I wasn't wondering (I just now realized the media event happened). But anyway.... I'm pumped. A Natty is in the bag! (happens every year about this time)

Some future cast predictions came in for him for N.

His biggest problem is it's against the rules, and that's what he talked about the most. As far as whether it's beneficial for athletes, that likely isn't an area of expertise for Frost so it's perfectly reasonable to expect that there are people who know more about the subject than him, and it's also perfectly reasonable to discuss it or to disagree with him. Smoking pot can't be good for lung health which would be a negative effect on an athlete, but edibles may be fine. But from what I've read it's not good for developing brains, and even if it was legal in Nebraska, it wouldn't be legal for people under 21, which I think is the correct choice. I think that's something that these kids who might argue about it need to know. Even in the states it's legal, for most of the athletes it's still illegal because they're underage. So if the NCAA decided not to test anymore, the legal ramifications would still be there.

I never to fully enjoy Top Gun. I watched it with my father who is an ex fighter pilot... i heard "bulls#!t" a lot during the movie. Took a lot of the magic out

Strange how Frost is disregarding how beneficial marijuana is to athletes. He must not be very smart. Unless the LPD is being tipped off or are simply being aggressive, given how many pot related incidents we've had lately I'm assuming we have many players that are more than occasional smokers. This is concerning to me, just as it would be if many players were getting DUIs.

Agreed. I'd be pretty annoyed if the B1G restructured again.

The topic of restructuring the divisions has come up several times over the last couple days. Obviously from the "East is too strong" standpoint. Good context from Sam. Not exactly surprising but I don't seem to hear many calling for the SEC to restructure.

Barney and his family have given a lot to Nebraska football during their lifetime, hope he gets the transplant he needs and he can have a long life afterwards. I am sure Barney wants to keep coaching, but it may be smart for him to step away and enjoy retirement. I think his sons have followed him into coaching, so he can follow their careers.

For those of you worried about LB depth, here you go...

I had the GI Joe F-14. Coolest toy I owned as a kid.

Pederson made it small...like his brain.

I'm not saying it was Pederson, but it was Pederson.

more truthful than it should be

Man if they really have improved on their improvement, watch out!!

Obligatory.

A. You can still have these things and get high occasionally. B. Might want to do some research on the benefits of weed for athletes...or anyone for that matter. Can’t group it with alcohol. C. I know these factors don’t circumvent the law but your mentality is outdated.

Imagine the views if he was standing up...

are these 2 the sharpest knives in the drawer that trump can find to support him?

If you don't see improvement on the field it doesn't really matter how much they are lifting. Probably better to just let it go than embarrass kids that were just doing what they were told.

That's not John Candy...

I wonder if Maverick ended up taking a few years off to fly cargo planes full of rubber dog $h!t out of Hong Kong before coming back.

Watch episode 4 of the last chance u to see him play against independence cc. Fun watch and there is almost a riot at the end of the game. Some bad blood between coach sims and brown. The show is a joke and the fact brown is a head coach is hard to watch.

Yeah...I agree. For years if you were 6 foot or taller you and you could run you were put on offense and you were a WR...there has been a big shift with that in the last few years and these tall/long guys are playing CB. I think there will be a lot of these guys that are under the radar because in HS you just don't have the time to teach technique as much as you would like. So often times these guys are good athletes and basically told to "go cover that guy". It isn't until college that they get way more refined.

Bothered, no. Amazed by it, yes. But as you explain more and more it makes more sense. I did sales years ago and some of the people I called and chatted with were in the Northeast and I remember their language on the phone compared to others. I didn't really have the context of it all until now when you explained it more. It sounds more like "haha" instead of so abrasive. And yes, I was bored.

"I think we got rid of a lot of the guys who didn't buy in..." Ouch. But I like it

Yeah, YouTube TV (https://tv.youtube.com/welcome/) was really great, lets you choose your favorite teams and it records the games for you. Has the major sports networks (BTN, ESPN/ESPN2/ESPNU/ESPN News and Fox Sports/FS1/FS2). Free trial and $49.99 a month.

This guy will not only be the next SUH but surpass him in my estimation. Rich Glover, SUH, now Polar Bear

The craziest by far was the hiring of Mike Riley...beyond bizarre!

Burn. Lol. Again, I know that it doesn’t change the law(s). I’m saying that your mentality might be a little flawed. Saying that an athlete can’t have pride in the team if he ever slips up or that it doesn’t have any benefits.

If I was a cop in a college town it would really take a$$h@!eish behavior for me to give tickets for most of this stuff... Lots of warnings. And I don't mean just for players I mean for college students in general.

Hey this is fun. So I'll play devil's advocate. We'll never know about Solich. For those too young to remember, Frank's 7-7 season was a gut punch to most Husker fans, especially those who wondered how Frank would fare after the Osborne recruits ran dry. The 9-3 season was a legitimate rebound, but even loyal Husker fans were nervous that the team looked second tier and recruiting was trending downward. We could point out that Frank went on to have a perfectly nice career at Ohio but never latched on to another Power 5 team. Add in the off-field issues, and there's the argument that letting Solich go wasn't the mistake. It was assuming any available candidate would want the job. If Martinez doesn't get injured? Man, that did feel like a turning point. For six weeks, Nebraska was the hottest thing in college football. But.....that same team with a healthy Martinez had already looked vulnerable against South Dakota State, and genuinely awful losing to unranked Texas. And the Taylor Martinez who made the most incredible runs of his life in 2012 had clearly regained his moves and his speed, and was an even better passer. 2010 was the beginning of Nebraska's defensive decline. There's not a single "what if" there, but that's where a lot of problems started. A couple more. If Bo Pelini's 2014 team had rebounded from the Wisconsin embarrassment and beaten an unranked Minnesota team at Memorial Stadium the next week, Eichorst could not have fired him. I doubt if Pelini has a breakthrough in his 8th season, but we wouldn't have Riley, and we probably wouldn't have Frost either. Joe Ganz has one more year of eligibility. That 2009 defense is backed by Ganz-led offense. It's not so much about the :01 on the clock against Texas anymore. It's a legitimate National Championship contender. And most recently: the Akron game doesn't get cancelled last year. That caused some really unhappy dominoes to fall. Easy to see three more wins in Frost's first season. Ultimately though, not much change. Optimism for season two and a lower bar to clear for improvement.
