Glendower

I heard that he was kicking them out of his own endzone and brought a kitten back to life after it was hit by a car.

Haha I liked watching frost play quite a lot. Sure, getting shut out by ASU was definitely uncool, he picked himself up and became quite popular... well... I thought so, anyway. I Guess I wasn't on line talking about these things back then. Yeah, he was disliked his first year (and who wouldn't be following Tommie??), but after he flattened some linebackers... well... I think he won our hearts. I would like to see him back coaching (not necessarily HC), too... unless he sucks... then they should fire him

I just got back... what happened? I'm going to dig around, so don't feel compelled to answer this question. I'm in no matter what it is-- just the sentiments that have been expressed have clued me in that it's pretty dire!

I will never get back the two seconds of my life spent reading the above. This is the best kind of prediction there is! It's so vague and impenetrable that no matter what happens with Nebraska and Oklahoma, he can claim to have been right. Brilliant.

What? I didn't know that nostradamus posted here.

Don't tease me!

I wonder how many of those non-scoring Osborn quarters followed a severe beating during the first half and 2nd, 3rd, and 4th team replacements.

..? ... why ya's gots to be so *mean*..! +2 for funnies!

I hate to burst your bubble, and believe me I would enjoy seeing that as much as anyone, he has to redshirt next year because of transfering. Sorry Odds say he wouldn't miss that anyway... 19 of 23 as a freshman... I'd take him to make that.

Well *no wonder* solich was such a poor recruiter! He wasn't allowed to speak with prospective players! It all makes sense now.

Good for him. No one was letting him kick; why on earth would he stay here?

Well, he qualified that with "many"... not "most" or "all"... but "many." If i had 20 people in my apartment, that would be "many." I think that what many of that "many" are nostalgic for is not the Solich era-- I consider it to be subjunctive nostalgia. After looking at the performance of the huskers in solich's last season, I just wonder what would have happened if they had let that staff stay together for another season... So, at best, I'd like to think that most fans are sane enough just to say that it was pretty shabby the way they gave him the boot and that it would have been nice to see what could have happened... If his last season had been a freak occurrence, then, yeah, boot 'im. It's entirely possible that the program would have continued downward... but we can't know... so we're nostalgic for something that never actually happened... but could have... subjunctive nostalgia. ok Awesome. Now I see how to get three thousand posts. at the time of the Solich firing, i did think that he should have been given another chance because he did make changes on the staff and seemed to be shaking thinks up a little. However looking back at it now, i am glad that the change was made and BC was brought in. Looking at the lack of talent that was left in the cupboard, i really feel that it was just a matter of time before everything started crumbling down. Oh, right! I'm not holding a grudge and I'm certainly not nostalgic for seeing 3 unsuccessful options in a row... though i miss the option, I don't want to see it abused, either I think that you're mostly right and generally agree! That doesn't mean that I can't wonder occasionally Not useful, I know... certainly not productive... but if we want to start requiring that message boards be "useful" and "productive"... hmm... we're all in trouble

Haha ... also he's 1) not injured and 2) still here

The scary thing is that we were 23rd with that!

You see lots of threads, but no one besides Jackson has actually left. Coaches will come and go. We won't have the same staff for 20 years anymore. I would suggest you don't over think a bunch of mostly conjecture. Err... Isn't conjecture the point of a message board?

Thanks for the contribution!

How many are irreplacable? That's not the point, is it? The point is that coaches and players *want* to leave. But, there are lots of reasons why people leave that don't necessarily suggest something is wrong in Lincoln. I haven't seen or heard anything to suggest a sinking ship, not that I would know. Have you? Uhh yeah... players and coaches leaving. USC has lost both coaches and players but I don't think anyone would say that they are a sinking ship. Why is it suddenly the thing to do to compare the huskers to every other team? If USC jumped off a bridge, would that make it okay? I think that people are just in too big of a hurry to leave. We'll see. I'm sure BC will get more Juco players, some more coaches who have no attachment to the program, and will, himself, be leaving soon. I'm guessing that it will take one great season sometime in the next two years for him to go looking for another job in the pros. Sure, fine, it's how things are done now days. Great. Fantastic. Now we're just like all of the other programs that we used to proudly claim to be so wonderfully separated from.

Wow... I don't have anything to add other than to express my hope that things turn out well. Is the 'boyfriend' over 18? You might be able to get some sort of different charge based solely on that. I think that a "missing person" has to be missing for 48 hours... maybe some kind of statutory claim would get things moving. And, FYI, the proper term is "Hanged"... so when we're all yelling loudly for it, we'll all be on the same page.

Beats me. I realize he didn't have the strongest leg in the world, but he came in here and did a great job on the field goals and the PATs he was asked to kick. A very accurate and consistent kicker when kicking within his range. I think what some people are saying isn't that they hate him, but that he was limited in his range - and it became more apparent this year. Still, he did what he was asked to do, and did it well. I see a lot of this in the threads about players and coaches leaving-- it's not a big deal, we have others, he sucked anyway, now we'll get someone better, and the like. It's so strange. Yeah, maybe if ONLY cogdon left it wouldn't be a big deal or ONLY one coach left/tried to leave it wouldn't be a big deal... but this really looks like rats off a sinking ship. We're just up on the party deck and we don't see the water filling the lower levels.

How many coaches have to leave before it constitutes a 'huge loss'? How many players, for that matter?

Holy crap. Can't anyone say anything on this board that without this kind of comment? What is the point of a discussion board? To just post a lot of sycophantic drivel about how great everything is and how we just have to trust in the His Holiness Pope William I BC's infallible decisions? The "where did you coach" or "Where did you play" or any of those sort of sarcastic, over-used, and unfunny lines are right up there with "you have too much time on your hands" as my favorite methods that people use to try to discredit what someone says or does when he really doesn't have a counter-argument. It's funny Glendower, but I didn't interpet Iowa's comment to Gamecocks as negatively as you did. IMHO Game's suggestion were an interesting read. In fact, his whole TTIO genre are interesting. Iowa seems to be saying the same thing, albeit tongue in cheek. haha well, maybe I just saw that comment made *seriously* one too many times. I thought he might be a little tongue in cheek with his statement, but I was having a really crappy day and that was all it took for my vents to open... I felt better after
