The problem with the "don't say gay" movement is they'll use examples like those posted earlier - which are clearly wrong - and use that to stifle all talk about anything related to LGBTQ in K-12 education, and that's also clearly wrong. Extremes like these teachers should be dealt with, we can all agree on that. But these people are not a reason to prosecute teachers at the school system's expense because Timmy wants to tell his kindergarten class about what his two moms do at work. This is a classic example of government overreach.

NIL has thrown all this into disarray. DL is the most coveted position across the board and can make the most dinero transferring. Just like any business, NU is probably dropping big NIL bucks trying to get new guys in and undervaluing in house talent. If I'm a semi talented Dlineman with a chance for a strongish college career, and a small chance at the NFL and you could make an extra 100k by transferring, you would be nuts not to consider it. Think Nathan Bazata or Drew Ott either could have made half a mil during their college career under the current rules, and neither got a chance in the NFL, as far as I know both are scratching by on family farms now. That 500k (or more) would have gone a long way toward buying land, equipment or a nest egg and set them up for life instead of leaving them like the rest of use working stifffs. I can tell you right now, if I thought I could get $100k extra on my salary with a lateral move and had no real strings tying me to me current location. I'm gone.

And you guys are acting like no one will improve and everybody's just going to play exactly like they did last year, when we've seen defensive lineman consistently get better every offseason. Robinson is already starter level. Rogers wouldn't have transferred had he been a starter, which would tell me coaches view either Hutmacher or Fiest as a starter. So then we need to find two depth pieces either through the portal or through younger guys improving. It would have been nice to keep Riley and Rogers but I'm confident guys of their caliber can be found in the portal. Chill out.

We aren't chicken littles. The sky fell a long time ago, especially last year when we went THREE AND NINE. No bowl game for 5, mostly likely 6 years in a row now? Yeah, the sky is a quaint, distant memory.

So, you're saying Republican's message on the subject is false.

You better hope we get some dudes or you’re gonna eat those words brotha

I wasn't sure where to post this, but in my American utopia, this woman's POV is the norm:

The next man up list is not pretty Jimari.

I will make this real easy... The only way you know if someone is "into" kids if if they act on it or if they tell you they are into them. Sooooo you already have a problem. Look, if you were sitting on a bus and the dude next to you goes "Hey, how is it going, you know what I love, kids, don't worry, I don't act on it or anything like that, but man I would love to do this and that to them, so hot" You would not be thinking "Wow, this is interesting, this guy really needs to be treated with dignity and respect because he has not acted on it" Trying to defend that because you feel like it sort of falls under the flag of your political party is nuts and you know it. Look, it is okay to be like "Yeah, I am a ______________ supporter and a registered ___________________ but I still think that people that talk about kids in a sexual way should be beat up" Literally no one will think less of you.

Some reasons are outlined in the article. Some have also been posted here, some in direct response to you that I know you received a notification about. So you either haven't read them or have ignored them. Both are your problem to solve if you're actually interested in a conversation. This banal cat and mouse game you like to play here with your fellow board members isn't going to work on me, particularly when you've asked some variant of 'why is this bad for Disney' and potential reasons as to why have literally been outlined.

If that happened Frost might as well save himself the embarrassment and take an early buyout. We might want to consider going back to a hurry up offense because the only way we'd survive the season is try to make every game a shootout like he did at UCF. I may hold off a bit longer before booking my tickets for Ireland...

Maybe the conference will modify their system for us.

Awesome. You do you!

Sharp and Benning hinted at that this morning. They said there were rumors of someone else "important" from the "same position group" as Rogers hitting the portal.

Sure reads more like "exploring my options" than "I'm gone".

Or, you could admit that you're just parroting right-wing nonsense when you say, repeatedly, that Dems are for "open borders," and we can move on.

You can keep trying to be literal on the open border comment if you want, but the Dem strategies and policies are getting worse not better. If your only concern is that the borders are not literally open so be it. Thats a pretty low bar.

I guess if you are taking leftovers, may as well take them from Alabama and Georgia.

It is like saying racist are okay as long as they don't "act" on being racist. It is not okay. And it is okay to admit that.

It’s amazing people defend that kinda stuff

Doesn’t play the same position and we likely don’t get Mathis Hey but at least if you look at the data we were really a top 30 team!!

I really was happy with NU naming Frost as coach but have times changed. I’ve never seen an exodus of talent like this. I’m betting under .500 again.

The human cost of anti-vaxx propaganda. It's amazing how blithely people accept nearly a quarter of a million deaths.

Maybe it's all coordinated with Frost and coaches, or at least folks in Admin. As @Farms mentioned, boosters are forking over money to get kids here. What are they doing for the kids that are here? Especially the kids NU doesn't want to lose. Maybe this is a notice from the football dept that screams, "hey! take care of our kids or they could leave!" wishful thinking, I guess...

Rogers is a smart kid (academic honors) and is graduating with a degree. I think he even had an offer from Vanderbilt out of HS. He's from the East Coast. I totally understand him looking at all options. It sucks for the DL, but he did give 4 years to Lincoln. If he returns to the Huskers great! If he finds a new home, I wish him the best. But I also agree that our DL needs some more bodies from the portal, now more than ever. I don't see enough depth upfront (or rotation) to handle a big ten conference that is heavy on the run game.

If you put Donald Trump and Piers Morgan in a cage fight, who would win? Everyone. They're both awful.

I think it's a case of Dems messaging poorly and/or the voters not understanding the actual policy or implications. Instead of "abolish ICE" they could run on "restore CBP" (or something better), which could be functionally the same but would poll better.

Stats and data tell a different story from last years team. They were actually a pretty solid team that found ways to lose. Frost has only coached 4 years with 2 of them being extremely out of the ordinary. What are you talking about? Thurston from Pender, is that you?

That was my laugh emoji because this post was quite funny! Well done.

Hey hey hey. Don’t call them racists. They don’t like that term. They prefer skin tone decision makers. Not all of them go to every cross burning and they would appreciate our understanding.

I guess some Dems don’t, but the administration appears to be throwing in the towel. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/psaki-rules-out-biden-admin-delaying-title-42-removal

We will be the greatest 4-8 team ever. Songs and tales will be song and told about this team for ages. #progress #restructuredcontract

https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/donald-trump-tantrum-interview-piers-morgan-2020-election-1340648/amp/ The consistently insufferable British TV host interviewed the former president for his new show Piers Morgan Uncensored. After the interview, Morgan on Wednesday tweeted out a very dramatic teaser in which appeared the two had a highly contentious interview — and that suggested Trump had left in anger. A subsequent report Wednesday night, however, suggested Morgan’s dramatic clip may be overhyping the interview — and misleading viewers about how it actually went. NBC News says it has audio of the interview that suggests Trump and Pierce ended the interview amiably, with both men agreeing it was a good interview and parting on good terms. The tape came from Taylor Budowich, Trump’s communications director.

Mathis > Rogers....next

The article says Disney will most likely fight this. Why would they fight something that strips $2 billion in debt and will supposedly be bad for the city which one would think means good for Disney. “Even though there might be really good reasons why we shouldn’t have Disney control three local governments

Anyone else hearing that Ty Robinson might be the next one gone to the portal?

He hasn't been back for awhile. Pretty sure he took the plunge.

Seems like this turned out to be a fiscally responsible move. But it was a worth it since he turned up how many illegals getting? What was the total? I think the last time I checked.... zero?

Exactly, found a way to lose to nearly every opponent, except the very bottom of the country. All 4 Frost seasons are out of the ordinary for Nebraska. Well below ordinary when you back up and take a big picture look. All four frost teams are quite similar - stats and etc. Ran the same basic offense 4 years with same QB and schemes etc. = same results. Home and away - good vs bad competition. You can pick and choose a few stats that by themselves, without context, look decent. But just as many stats are NOT good, consistently. Even Frost admits as much with his wholesale changes and results: 1 Dump his prize record setting QB. 2 Dump his buddy coaching staff. 3 Hire a new OC / QB coach to take his place 4 Abandons, chases off or worse, loses a bevy of 4 star talent and will, once again, put a very inexperienced, immature, untested team on the field, this time with new schemes and etc. 5 Offers 300 to 400 scholarships to high school kids, annually, and now, who knows how many portal guys. That - should not - be ordinary and business as usual in year 5 imo. This indicates desperation - shot in the dark - wide net fishing. 6 Trouble landing Neb kids and reports of poor relationships with some Neb h s coaches. By year 5 we should not be where we are at - period. 7 Not one bowl game. 8. Covid was tough but nearly all teams suffered. It should have helped local recruiting - but did it? 9. Fans have been absolutely amazingly loyal, tolerant and patient, with hardly a single boo, chant or wholesale walk out. But, attendance drops 600,000 in year 4 after no fans for a year prior. Not good imo. Ticket sales in serious jeopardy. 10 Big staff and player #s increases. Big pay. Huge recruiting help with private planes etc. have shown little results, unless it helped keep it from getting even worse. 11 Huge new facilities being approved despite all the losses so both his ADs have given him every resource and let him run his program fully. 12 Only whispers of any NCAA issues but ?? time will tell on the STs ‘coaching’ by non coach. That would be very unhelpful to have such poor STs play and yet be in trouble for impermissible coaching! Frost has had plenty of bad luck to overcome but successful coaches find ways to overcome. The Big Ten has worked tirelessly to undermine Neb sports generally. Personally I expected a rite of passage - initiation type gauntlet for 4-5 years when we joined. But it continues after a decade. Sadly, we don’t have any choices at this time. Not Frost’s fault but neither was it of Bo and Riley who still won more games. Again, I have no great dislike of Frost at all and have given him every benefit of the doubt. Year 5 needs REAL results. His new staff on offense get 2 years but I’m not sure I reward Frost for firing coaches and eschewing players he himself recruited.

You think? I could see that the Oline is better or improved with better play calling.

Progress

@AZRaiderH8r for sure, next year we can try a different source/site (ESPN?) with traditional scoring.. and maybe shorten up the season a few weeks. It was fun!

While this isn't the best thing ever, some of you guys are being melodramatic. We play nickel like 70 percent of the time now. We need two starters and three depth guys. We can find a Casey Rogers in the portal.
