    I’ve got no problem with dad pimping his kid, but I hope the kid can remain grounded through his accomplishments

    Nash is super humble and a really good young man. His Dad is just proud of him, may not be everyone’s style but he’s just being supportive in the way he knows how.

    It's hard to say. We don't know if the coaches assumed to be "available" seriously considered the Nebraska job, or if backchannel communications had weeded out a lot of names that the fans were throwing around. You don't want to go too public and get turned down, like Nebraska did lobbying hard for Houston Nutt in 2004. Callahan was a face-saving pick, but we didn't exactly miss the boat by whiffing on Houston Nutt. 

     

    Supposedly Eichorst approached Brett Beilema, maybe a couple others, before going after Mike Riley. It's likely lot of guys we wanted in 2014 weren't giving Nebraska serious consideration.  

     

    Bo Pelini felt right in 2007. I don't remember that much fretting that he wasn't a college HC. He'd just led the LSU defense to the national championship. Don't remember much controversy over his choice at all, or any other coach seriously in the running. Even Turner Gill fans -- myself included -- thought Bo was the safer pick.

     

    I no longer remember a preferred back up choice to Scott Frost. It was all or nothing around here. 

    Isn’t Gary Patterson on record saying he went to dinner to discuss the job in 07 with Tom, but felt Tom was leaning towards Bo so he didn’t pursue it further. Or am I high?

     

    what I’m getting at is if he went to dinner with Tom he was obviously interested to some extent.

    Sooner or later people are going to realize that Turner Corcoran is a drama king that enjoys the recruiting process and is making as many visits as possible.  True, the young man is talented.  He also seems to enjoy seeing how many coaches will fawn over him.  Regardless if he has privately chosen a college or not, it appears that he might enjoy  playing the game until the early signing session.  Can you imagine what his signing ceremony will be like?

    And Herby award for worst post of the year goes to....

     

    seriously though, let the kid enjoy the process. For most recruits deciding where they are going to play football is a once in a lifetime deal. 

  4. As athletic as Jurgens is, it is hard for me to believe he won’t work his way into a spot(maybe not this year but if I were a betting man I’d say sooner rather than later). Yeah he has had his health issues, but i find it really hard to believe Frost would make this kind of drastic switch without seeing something he believed has

     the potential for being special. I mean the kid could’ve switch to linebacker, defensive line or stayed in the fullback/tight end spot and contributed. 

  5. I appreciate Moos’ forward thinking in regards to facilities, improve often and make small changes rather than waiting for us to be way behind and having a giant overhaul. Boosters and what not need to chill a bit in that regard, I read an article in Forbes a couple weeks ago where Nebraska is the ONLY school in the top 25 in revenue to have zero debt. Plus I imagine Frost having worked at Oregon has asked for some improvements or at least discussed “his vision”with Moos which may have prompted the “8th in the BIG” comment

     

    As far as Miles goes, I like the guy but his teams constantly play down to their opponents... with this much talent we should be a two loss team right now. It’s not like this is new though, Moos only elected to give Miles a one year extension at the conclusion of last season and essentially said we’d play it by ear going forward.

  6. Way too early to start getting frustrated/thinking about getting frustrated with Wolters. Kade came in as walk on and was serviceable last year, Reimers(also a walk on correct?) was used as the big body receiver and didn’t blow anyone’s socks off but was alright. The problem is Wolters inherited the best duo in DONU history, but he also inherited Riley and Bo’s recruiting, which clearly lacks a big receiver as well secondary development. So I think the kids we are looking to step up (Mcquitty for example who was down on the depth chart and sustained a significant injury) are playing catch up but I have a feeling when it clicks it’ll click in a big way. I also could be wrong and that’s why Frost and Co are making WR such a priority.

     

    With all that said, I’m looking to see what kind of impact the elder Daniels has on the D line both in what he brings individually and how a veteran leader can up the play of those around him including that of Tate Wildeman, who I think could develop into a monster. Another two on defense I’ll be watching closely are Cam’ron Jones and Caleb Tannor. We are thin at safety and would benefit greatly to having Cam’ron catch on and develop in a significant way. Caleb Tannor made his way on the field as a true frosh and flashed signs of being a big time play maker, building on that and learning how to be a leader from Mo could do marvelous things for our defense for years to come.

  7. Absolute lunacy. I clicked on the XFL tab, just crazy. He attributes a lot of his success to his diet which includes a thermos full of spaghetti-o’s, a monster turkey sub with mayonnaise and sharp cheddar(no vegetables), rice crispie treats and fruit snacks. Seriously he needs help

    Oooh boy.  You're going to be fighting some folks on this.

    What he did is in the same realm of actions that ended NFL careers and had people kicked off teams... we all know he shouldn’t of been reinstated, but it was a different time and hindsight is always 20/20

    I'm a win at all cost type of guy. Everyone else does shady stuff, so we might as well too. Its only a problem if you get caught and even then nobody really cares that much.

     

    I never used to be this way, but ever since Penn State essentially got away with running a pedophile camp, whats it matter if we give players money under the table or in bags of cash on their parents door steps? If the NCAA doesn't care about protecting kids or actually handing out punishment, then I don't really care if we do whatever we can to win.

    I couldn’t disagree with this more, I think it’s terrible that they did get essentially no punishment, but integrity is something you can hang your hat on at the end of the day. Because others got away it could never serve as a justification for winning for me.

    Agreed, and honestly I don't think we deserve a spot in the Top 25 after finishing 4-8.

    If we have convincing wins after our first three games I'm pretty sure we'll be ranked. But I kind of doubt we'll be ranked preseason nor after Week 1.

    I can’t remember who it was but one of the announcers experts said to expect Nebraska to be ranked preseason based on how they developed from game one to game 8-10(when he made the comment) and how QB’s make a huge jump from year 1 to year 2 under Frost

    I wouldn't say he is better right now by any means. He does have the measurables  and is a top 4 heavyweight wrestler nationally as a sophomore which is desirable for D linemen. If he has the head and continues his upward trajectory he could be a beast.

    I live in the Sioux Falls area and have watched Nash wrestle a couple times, he does not look his age... dude is a grown man and from what I’ve seen a pretty nice kid. Honestly as strong and disciplined as he is I wouldn’t be surprised to see him start as a true freshman.
