  2. "What is clear is that it all came down to the president and what he wanted; no one else appears to have supported his position." Yeah. Total nothingburger. I can see why Moscow Mitch wants to immediately acquit on all charges.

  3. There was an image in last nights Rose Bowl, a mix of green and yellow juxtaposed against a mix of red and white in the stands. Both fan bases’ respectful colors paled in comparison to the beautiful sunset colors above that was reminiscent of a cotton candy pink, with a little purple mixed in. This bowl game meant more than both progrums combined, yet both still tried to stake their claim as being the champ in the moment. Little did most viewers realize, this moment meant more to Husker nation than both the teams playing in the actual game. in one corner, we had the the red and white we’ve come to despise the past few years yet deep down respect because they play a style that we once represented. Sure, we are conference foes, but there’s an adoration that exists within this forum towards good ole Bucky that put up one helluva fight tonight; despite them having our number. I know deep down quite a few of you squinted like I did and imagined that was our beloved Huskers in red and white asserting our will in the grand daddy of them all. And who could blame us? Well, thankfully my wife slapped me a good one and made me realize that’s not us at all- I love you Trudy, thank you again for reminding me who I really am. *quick tangent* (you see, Trudy and I met one fine fall Saturday at memorial back in 94 and we haven’t looked back since. Sure, one of us has lost our faith at times but the other has always been there to pick the other one up and remind the other that outside Ohio state, the rest of this conference has done nothing but suck a fat D since we joined. We always tell one another that we’ve seen better days. Not only that, we are both pragmatic people and realize that while we’ve lived through a dense fog for 2 decades, eventually that bright bright sun of ours will burn through that dense fog and bring back the beautiful scenery Lincoln deserves. Thank you Trudy for reminding me that the world is for the taking and I shouldn’t stake my self worth based on other progrums) In the other corner represented the victor and our hope for our reign moving forward. Some may scoff at those ridiculous jerseys, but dem boys from the 503 showed tonight what true football is about. They flummoxed, intimidated and asserted their will against dem boys from Madison to the likes we haven’t seen in Lincoln in quite sometime. I, like most of the majority here on dis here board, leave this game with a slight stiffy knowing that the man who helped build this squad from the fine state of Oregon is the head honcho patrolling the sideline of Tom Osborne field to this day. Tonight, in the grand daddy of dem all, was a battle of MEN on the lines. When I harken back to our faithful Huskers, I sheepishly admit we have nothin but boys out there the last few years. Well, I for one am sick of trotting our these o and d lines who would barely make a D2 squad proud. To those who say Scotty 2 Hotty’s play style won’t work in the Big10 I tell you to watch this game. It’s all about talent at the end of the day and tonight I witnessed a battle in the trenches where perhaps we’d have one guy worth being on their level. I know with full confidence that Scotty2Hotty is bringing in the hogmollies we need to make this progrum tick and I, for one, couldn’t be prouder. Have hope my brethren, this is a glimpse of not only the future but also a return to prosperity that we haven’t seen since the end of the 20th century. Sure; Oregon won and rightfully so, but when I saw that cotton candy skyline I was reminded of a sweet sweet nectar that is Husker dominance that will reassert itself in 2020. That sky was beautiful, much like our future. I bid adieu #GBR

  4. I think many of you are discounting how physical of a team chip kelly and helfrich had. Sure they had an incredible qb and spread the field with fast skill guys but that offense was 100% built on running the ball down your throat and setup the offense in efficient 2nd 4, 3rd and short situations. the amount of o linemen and front seven they Placed in the nfl was impressive and they consistently went toe to toe with the best SEC and big 10 teams that were more classic “power football” the main point was more of a shot at many on this board questioning the direction of this program. We need o line talent and size period, regardless of what style we try and implement. Both those teams last night showcased this

  5. Our recruiting classes have always been ranked higher than our divisional opponents, but we have lost so many guys to attrition, that what we have been left with isn't so. We lost half of our first class under Frost. Many guys off of our last couple Riley classes. We don't have that many good players left from the 16' 17' and 18' classes.

  6. I agree that Herbert enjoying his success at Oregon has zero to do with Frost, and that Herbert's successes are due to the staffs at Oregon. However, the statement was that Frost gets "zero" credit for this year's Oregon team. Frost was the lead recruiter for Herbert who was a 4-year starter at Oregon. While it's probably a minimal percentage of Frost's impact on the Oregon team this year, I think it's "more than zero" based on the fact that Frost recruited Herbert to Oregon, and Herbert was a big reason for Oregon's success. If Frost had named Gebbia the starter over Martinez at NU and succeeded with Gebbia at QB, people would have rightfully commented that Frost was able to enjoy the success of Riley recruiting QB as talented as Gebbia.

  7. Sorry, but Scott gets zero credit for this Oregon team. Cristobal has recruited very well, and brought a toughness never seen in that program. The credit goes to him and his staff. Their future looks bright. And the area code in Eugene is 541.

  8. Here are my reasons for optimism for Frost. 1) Frost is a Nebraska-native and NU alum, so he knows how the success of the football team is important to the foundation of the state and people. He can sell top recruits what it's like to play at Nebraska. He has a deep understanding of the overall program which Callahan, Bo, and Riley didn't. 2) Frost has played for and coached with some of the best coaches in college and pro football. These include: Osborne, Walsh, Parcells, Belichik, Dungy, Tomlin, Snyder, and Kelly. I think Frost has learned a great deal from these coaches, and tries to combine their philosophies with his own. 3) Frost has played and coached at high levels on both sides of the ball. While he is known as an offensive coach, he has extensive experience and knowledge of the defensive side, as well. 4) Frost has experience in winning programs. He was a winner at Nebraska as a player, a winner at Oregon as an assistant coach, and was a winner at UCF as the head coach. I think Frost knows what it takes to be a part and lead a winning program.

  11. I don't really think that's the case. They wouldn't have been allowed to sign if we weren't fairly confident they'll make it. And we're not going to know any more about if they will or not in the next month.

This war will make Afghanistan look easy...even though we are still there with no victory in sight and the taliban is bigger than when we first started. How will we pay for it? Kudos to any journalist or corporate media hack to ask that question. News flash: they wont.

  20. The issue I'm having is people saying only known white supremacists can use the sign in a racist way. If the person isn't already known to be a white supremacists then the symbol isn't racist is the argument I disagree with. I think people can be racist and use the symbol in a racist way even if we didn't know that they were racist before.

  25. I found this today and thought it was interesting. Going into fall camp in 2017 his third year Riley only had 77 scholarships filled and 14 offensive lineman on scholarship. As well as only 7 scholarship wide receivers. We essentially had a self imposed 8 scholarship penalty. Things will change before fall camp, but Frost currently has 88 scholarships (planning for attrition) as well as 18 scholarship lineman and 11 scholarship wide receivers. It's amazing how badly Riley mismanaged the roster and it's taking time for Frost to rebuild it.

  27. How does Peter suggest Pelosi end the game? Because sweeping articles of impeachment wouldn't have gotten him impeached either, the Republicans will defend him until the end. What was Pelosi supposed to do? Because sweeping impeachment articles would have just gotten the defense of 'Pelosi is too ambitious and now the Dems are just throwing s#!t at the wall to see what sticks.' That's the thing, no matter the strategy, Trumps supporters will have a spin. So what does Peter think should happen to fix this situation? Because Pelosi isn't a wizard.

  29. Do we teach people nowadays that nothing is just A=B? That there are many things that are triggered when there is action and/or inaction? Seems to me the crap we're dealing with is just stupidity and simplistic thinking. I'm not sure if this admin is able to think beyond one step or just chooses to do the one step because it's quick and dirty and then they can give their followers a catch phrase to chant and tout as an "accomplishment". They don't give a crap about the ramifications (insert Barr's comment about how he doesn't care about his legacy of actions as he'll be dead), and their base doesn't care or simply doesn't comprehend the possible outcomes and how things will be impacted. (ex. red states losing farm income because of tariffs, jobs because of coal mining and company shut downs, all people at working wage getting walloped by no tax break trickle down, and being impacted negatively by the healthcare debacle. etc) We pay more in total to NATO? Get out of it. We don't like France today? Tax wine and cheese. People coming to the US? Build a wall. Poland wants to invade Germany? Fine. Want more made in America? Give tariffs to China.

  32. That would be AMAZING. You can pretty much pencil in about 5-7 programs that are going to always be top 10 in recruiting...so if Frost can bust in there, that would really be something.

  34. I agree with you for the most part, but wasn't Frost a key reason that Justin Herbert ended up at Oregon? Having that stud QB to build around has helped Cristobal. https://n.rivals.com/content/prospects/2016/justin-herbert-2846 Herbert's Rivals page lists Frost as the lead recruiter for Oregon.

  41. I’ll go out on a limb with predictions: 1. Sevion Morrison will play as freshman, and we will forget about Mo Washington because of it. 2. Marvin Scott will also show us some huge upside, but will only play in 4 games next year. 3. Will Nixon will be the second option behind Wan’Dale. 4. You’re nuts if you don’t think Nash Hutmacher doesn’t make the rotation in every game, or you’re just not paying attention. He’s been on the optimal weight training regime since he was 14. This will be a huge get for this staff. I’m excited to watch Ty and Nash together this next year. 5. Linebacker play will be drastically improved next year so long as the RS freshman stay healthy. (Domann isn’t leaving... that is just as ridiculous as the Wan’Dale rumors) 6. Noa Pola Gates will end up the starter at FS. 7. Cam Taylor-Britt will be an All-American corner. 8. The O-line will reduce sacks allowed by 12 from 2019 to 2020. Going from 28 allowed to 16. 9. The offense will score > 465 points across 12 games, and the defense will allow < 300. 10. We will have 5 additional defensive scores. 11. Fumbles lost will drop from 12 in ‘19 to 7 in ‘20. 12. They finish regular season with 9 wins.
