When you're consistently outgaining teams and losing, that would point to your main systems being fine to even good, but needing to improve on the "hidden stats" like field position, turnovers, red zone scoring, etc., which I think most fans would agree we've been really bad at under Frost. That's why I really don't think we're as far away or struggling as much as people here like to say we are. Young teams are bad at that stuff and improve with experience. We've had young teams that are about to turn into veteran teams. And then hopefully we are able to "stay old" after that.

Baffles me that the guy still holds sway over the party when he lost the Senate, the House, and the Presidency and will leave office with a lower career approval rating than even Carter.

soon to be the dominion voting and pillow company.

Apologize and listen to Rand Paul? Here comes Covid-20, everybody.

Thank you for providing exhibit 1a of how and why tribalism has literally pushed our country to the brink of civil war.

from the last paragraph in the article...which seems to directly contradict what Rand Paul said. it seems you clowned yourself However till the pandemic is defeated, all People ought to put on masks in public, assist unvaccinated folks keep secure and contribute to a shared nationwide venture of saving each attainable life.

Ummm....hell no.

Not to beat a dead horse, but Mike Riley's recruiting on the O-line was subpar. 2015 produced no starters (big get was Jalin Barrett out of Oklahoma who never sniffed the field). To produce 2 starters out of 3 classes (15, 16, 17) might be worse the subpar.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/tellusdaily.com/2021/01/18/underselling-the-vaccine/%3famp This is really good news. It appears that two injections of either the Moderna or Phizer vaccine offer 100% protection from severe infection and prevents the possibility of spreading Covid as we were talking about a few days ago. "Though no rigorous research has but analyzed whether or not vaccinated folks can unfold the virus, it will be shocking in the event that they did. “If there may be an instance of a vaccine in widespread medical use that has this selective impact — prevents illness however not an infection — I can’t consider one!” Dr. Paul Sax of Harvard has written in The New England Journal of Drugs. (And, no, exclamation factors aren’t frequent in medical journals.) On Twitter, Dr. Monica Gandhi of the College of California, San Francisco, argued: “Please be assured that YOU ARE SAFE after vaccine from what issues — illness and spreading.”

I guess I don't know that we can say at this point that depth will be an issue. Inexperience behind the starters is an issue but that's almost a given when you return three starters. We don't know if our backup linemen are that good. Neither does basically anyone else in the country. We also didn't recruit the OL particularly well for several years. In the 2016 class, only Farniok became a regular starter. Wilson started some. Raridon and Brokop were non-factors. In the 2017 class, Jaimes was a great get but Bando, Walker and Sichterman are busts. In the 2018 class, we only got Will Farniok as an OL. So... yeah. But Jurgens was in that class (as a TE, four-star recruit) so that helps. Three classes. Looks like two total regular starters (recruited as OL). Neither are still here. Since then, things seem to have picked up. In the 2019 class, Benhart (four-star recruit) and Piper are already starting. Banks will probably be a backup this year. Not much after that but that's a good base. In the 2020 class, Corcoran was our highest-rated recruit and looks to be a starter next year. We only took two OL recruits in this class because of how many we had to take in 2019. We also got transfers in Ezra Miller (a four-star recruit to Iowa) and Nouredin Nouili (freshman starter at Colorado State) to help fill in. In the 2021 class, Prochazka was our second-highest-rated recruit. OL is the spot where it takes the longest to develop and be ready to contribute. The 2016, 2017 and 2018 classes should be the fourth- and fifth-year guys next year. But that's not an option. We started a lot of younger guys this year partly because they are better and partly because there were few options ahead of them. So Jurgens is likely the "old guy" of the starters next year. Most everyone else that will contribute has only been here for a year or two. So it's tough to know who's going to work out and who isn't.

Board has been upgraded to the latest version on 1/17/21. Let me know if you notice any issues.

Ummmm. Fair and Balanced mean anything to you???

You're brainwashed, bro.

I have always felt that you can read how good a HS program is by it's special teams. A coach has to have his hands on all of the details. If special teams aren't special? You may have a coach that is over his head. I know my view comes from looking at HS programs, but I think this may be true of CFB too.

I know it is, but do you know it is?

Yeah, there certainly is bias. But your undeniable allegiance to your Trump party is also bias.

Hopefully we hit the peak. Hospitalizations going down week over week for the first time in awhile.

We had a guy who had a history of year two success at multiple locations. And we just fired him after year one. Without a good special teams “coach.” Not analyst. I’d bet good money we’ll be bottom half FBS next year too. It’s clearly not a point of emphasis up to this point. oh, and welcome to HB!

People who think our coaches don't care about special teams or aren't trying to improve them are clueless. These are a lot more difficult, complex and time-consuming problems to fix than just telling your punt returner to make sure he catches the ball, but for some reason fans think systemic and long-running problems get fixed by snapping your fingers. It's fair to criticize them for certain aspects of the ST's performance, but these are problems of organization/talent/depth, not our coaches being like "let's not practice any punts this week, who care about that lol".

I guess I have a problem believing Frost doesn't take ST seriously. He was on teams here where TO preached how important they are and he idolizes TO. These guys also have played special teams in MS and HS. The concept isn't rocket science. I keep thinking the problem with coverages is somehow either who we have on the units or how they are told to play it. But, this has been a major problem since even before Frost.

She has a crazy husband who would send a mob after her if she showed any grace towards the Bidens.

today is the last monday of the trump presidency.

Petty until the end.

I do believe that meets the definition of treason...

They should be removed now. Let me know if they continue.

It was also terrorism.

How long did the marriage last?

I agree. However, that's not what happened, and that's why it makes Scarlet Revival's attempts at comparison asinine. The fabric of these situations are so cataclysmically different that discussing them as if they're on an equal playing field would make all of us more unintelligent for it. And, again, it's nothing more than a red herring. As someone who is neither liberal or conservative, it seems like the vast majority of your arguments usually devolve into R's vs. D's, or trying to compare something perceived as 'bad' among the D's to something perceived as 'bad' among the R's. The amount of rent free space R's and D's take up in one another's heads is astounding.

open your eyes. if you don't see the money trail heading back to trump.....you are being willfully blind to it. trump is selling pardons in case you can't see it yourself. and if you try to deny it...just remember...trump is selling pardons.

The Ravens had to change centers in the middle of the year because they were having snapping issues. But this only ever happens to us.

Few things to note... he also beat a Kansas team that was 2-10, they also beat Penn State and Pittsburgh. He’s seven wins away from being Ohio’s all time winningest coach, led them to their first bowl game win, they’ve gone to bowl games 10 out of the last 11 years, including five in a row while winning the last three (bowl game stats do not include 2020). Oddly enough the last time Solich won a CCG, so did Nebraska. He’s been a nice little coaching hire for Ohio. Not great but extremely solid as stated. Just didn’t appreciate the negative context everything else was put in. Nobody will ever truly know if it would’ve worked out for Solich here at Nebraska. The odds were certainly stacked against him. He was 42-9 before that 7-7 season in 2002. They had a nice bounce back year going 10-3 in 2003. Why was firing him justifiable in 2002? Because of one poor season compared to the success of his predecessors?

No, I just think you need to go take a cold shower.

Quote posted elsewhere about him:

Hmm weird how the top three there were considered the most progressive presidents in our history. Maybe we should try that again. Eisenhower was a republican but if he was president today they would call him a liberal socialist because he had extrememly high taxes on the top income earners, expanded social security and improved new deal programs.

If you're not going to make the guy an on field coach, then hire someone who is doing it from off the field with success. I see a lot of people looking at football outsiders stats on here. Their Special Teams stats are garbage. 1. A touchback on a kickoff is not "efficient" for them. 2. A punt that nets 38 yards is. 3. Field position stats, while a function of teams are more dependent on O/D. You can have great teams, a bad O and a poo D and still get crushed on field position. 4. Sample sizes this year were a nightmare so any "analytics" are skewed wildly this year. Bill Connelly's S+ for ESPN stats much better, if you can get the full rankings. App State, Florida, NC State, Iowa, Kentucky Houston, & Army have been the best teams on SPT this year.

The My Pillow Guy might need one of his pillows to cuddle with in the corner by the time this is all said and done.

This is Rich. I guess they never paid attention in history class because we still talk about those bad events all the time.

I don't know if I'd go with sad (outside of Venz's performance, he did NOT look like he wanted to be there and has seemingly regressed since his Frosh year.) Iowa is just loaded this year. It definitely didn't look great watching Thomsen get wrecked at 133. I get that DeSanto is a tough SOB, but yeesh. I'm guessing that Lovett can't make 133 anymore which is a shame because it stinks having both he and Red at 141 where both guys have AA chances. While I never in a million years expected Robb to beat Marinelli, it just always befuddles me why he doesn't shoot more often. Everytime he shoots, it seems like he gets a TD.

I saw a Facebook post over the weekend that Biden and the rest of the Dems and the media are spending too much time focusing on the attacks on the capitol and that there have been other bad events in US History. It hasn't even been 2 weeks and people want to sweep the events under the rug. Un-freaking-believable.

The irony is when the dumb*** left a note saying justice is coming and a few days later he was arrested. But "Attempted coup"? Like it can be called anything else? Lets break these two words down. at·tempt verb past tense: attempted; past participle: attempted 1. Make an effort to achieve or complete (something, typically a difficult task or action). coup noun 1. A sudden, violent, and illegal seizure of power from a government Geeze, that sure does look like what happened. How do I know this for sure? THESE MORONS WERE TALKING ABOUT DOING IT AND THEN DID AND THEN TALKED ABOUT HOW THEY HAD DONE IT! Now granted it was conducted by a bunch of dumba$$ yokels, but hey, we should at least give these dummies their day in the sun. After all, they earned it. "Attempted coup"? FFS. Why did you even post this tweet in this comment? Do you agree? Do you disagree? If you're going to post, at least give us your opinion. IMO, this is Trump strategy 101. Throw as much s*** as you can. See what sticks. Wash. Rinse. Repeat.

Good info. Thanks.

For me it's this giant 'infolinks' banner

I'm starting to wonder whether this is just a Husker fan's perspective of the situation. Possibly a much more accurate description of B1G West offenses is that they're just extremely disciplined and don't turn the ball over much. That produces the same result as "playing keep away," but is a different way of producing those good results. Frost mainly ran high-percentage plays this season. He wasn't out there taking risks, and his play book was looking a fair bit less "Chip Kelly-ish" in the back half of this season, IMO. So I disagree (at least as it pertains to this season anyway) that the problem or outcome has much to do with Frost's offensive system in comparison to other B1G West offensive systems. The problem with our team is turnovers and terrible special teams. And Frost just sucks at fixing those two things - period. Wake me up when that changes; until then, our results against the well-coached teams of our division will continue to be awful.

How are you at parties?

And this is different than and four year period in the last 20 years how exactly?

Banks will 100% stay at tackle. Depth is gonna be a problem next year.
