Love Frost. And just like any other one of our guys, I would forgive him for a lot of stupid stuff he could do. Especially as a young adult. But "such a good guy" isn't what I would use if I'm going based off of what he did to LP back in the nineties. Not many people could do something so low. There may have been more stuff linked with Frost, but that is the only one I know of that is for sure true.

I understand that previous head coaching experience is important, because it's associated with being a good coach prospect; and that if we don't get this hire right, we're F'ed for a verrrrry long time. But if we simply don't consider those without head coaching experience, I say we're missing out on a lot of potentially good head coaches - Scott Frost being one of them. A lot of people are saying Frost needs to be a head coach for a few years before coming here. They want him to ultimately come here because they see the potential he has: charismatic, running (albiet not developing) the best offense in the country, a coach who knows what Nebraska is, star power, has learned from an unbelievable amount of legendary coaches, yada yada yada. Well Frost is never going to be our head coach if we don't hire him now. Some other team is going to snatch him up and be set for years. I truly believe he's biggest boom-or-bust guy out here, and after being so average with Pelini so long, I'm willing to take that risk (which is why I'm glad I'm not the AD).

yeah, I have to agree that people acting like aholes at games are the worst. Why do it? Does it make you feel better as a 21 year old to toss beer at a 40 man with a family? Does it help your team win? These behaviours are akin to that of a young child woth no self-awareness. with that said, I son't believe in grouping masses into one identity and giving them specific qualities. I am sure Memorial has as much of these types as Camp Randall does. oh, and by the way Wiscy fans: it has nothing to do with our two losses. It has to do with people not treating others like people. if you can't see that, then we can't help you.

seriously. played his arse off. he was obviously not 100% and is not conditioned well at the moment, but still had 2 sacks, a forced fumble, had many disruptive plays, and was the fire for the defense. gtfo with this thread.

Sit Banderas, start Roach. God, Banderas sucks - can't tackle, can't cover, is slow, and is always out of position.

Link Amen. I get sick and tired of society having this one-sided debate. One sided in the fact that holding the stance, "It's progressivism; it's becoming ok, and that's good," is the only one you can take without getting ostracized. Fact is, it's not ok, and to finally hear that from a person in an important role - Pelini - is extremely refreshing. Sorry, but progressivism /= progress, contrary to the linguistic relation. Progress = change, and change isn't always good. Preach, Pelini. Ahem, now to get off my moral high horse and do bad things myself . . .

I see, thanks for the info.

Note: I didn't want to create a new thread for this as it is a simple question, but after browsing for a more appriopriate area, I couldn't find a convenient thread to place it in. I will be working most of the weekends this football season, so I was wondering if each Saturday/Sunday the B1G site will upload the weekend's games. I seem to recall hearing that they did this or something similar last year.

As it stands now, there is no way we will ever have college football players not being paid, so that idea can be left behind. If they were to be paid just for school or have a cap to their legal earnings, then you can bet they'd get money under the table still, especially during te recruitig process, so that wouldn't help at all. It is either keep the same system or make payments without caps legal. I would seem to be in favor of the latter because as it stands now, too many players are losig their futures for nothing. Let us step back from a narrow scope; let us see that there are 120ish schools in all of D1. Then there are hundreds more in smaller classes. Only a little over half the players on a BCS school's 100 man roster have full scholarships. The majority of the rest have nothing. If you keep going down the ladder from BCS schools all the way to D3, it gets much worse. My school is a high end D2 school, and only one athlete - football or not - has eve had a full ride. In all, I'd say only 5% of college football players have any financial help at all, and the percentage for college athletes in total is far less than that. And for what benefit? Broken bodies in 20 years, concussions piled on undisclosed concussions, etc. in exchange for a 1 in 1000 shot at making it to the pros. Such leads me to believe the majority are getting a raw deal. Heck, I worked for my school's newspaper and had a scholarship that paid me more than all my school's football players. It is a bit unfair. So we reach to issue of whether it is ok to demand so much for so little of them, since they after all are voluntarily accepting the trade off. I can't find any reason to knock the current system since it is non-binding for players and thy know of the risks. Couple that with the fact that it would cause massive resentment between athletes (especially those who don't GAF about school) and other students at schools who give as much to the school but don't earn hard cash from the administration. You think many non-athlete students hate athletes now, just wait until this happens: campus' will be a very toxic environment. So I'm pretty ambivalent on this topic. All I know is that the onky options are, as previously stated, to keep the current system or to outright pay players without cap. Each has real negatives and unfortunately not many positives.

Forgive me for not being on the same page here... But why is this such a bad match-up? With how our season went, especially with Iowa, we are lucky to have such a good opponent. I know they don't have Murray and have underperformed, and that this is a re-match, but we were looking at freaking KSU and Washinton State :shrug:

I have no credibility to back up any answer I give to you, but my guess would be maybe- it depends on Armstrong's/Kellog's play; if either one of them can have a lot of success, then Martinez won't start again -but that's only a guess.

^ Not to mention they were killing us on the jet sweep, not in the interior where Steinkuhler played (I guess they could have spread the linebackers wider had Stein played and covered the interior by himself, but still).

Yeah, they really are no better than us at the moment... which is kind of sad. It won't be a signature win, what it will be is "if we win, we move on to our next opponent; if we lose, then we're not good enough to do much anyway," kind of game. Michigan State however would be a signature win. Looking forward to that game!

Is Ron even fat? He wears a QB-jacket (not the correct term, maybe someone knows what I am referring to). Without that, he wouldn't look so.... round.

If we're going down the road of semantics, then if Frost is our road not taken, he won't be our Scott Frost.

He was getting iced earlier. Irregardless of injuries today though, he has been under-utilized all season.

Not sure I like an option to the short side on a 3rd and 6.

That likely won't work against a top25 team, but wow Tommy.

+1 And Penn State sucks.

Scheelhouse is in pretty bad shape.

don't pull the trigger too quickly there homie... Yeah, Armstrong has too many negatives at this point for me to be comfortable with him as our QB against the likes of Michigan, Northwestern, etc. Lol, what?? I've been impressed with some of the things he's done, but he's looked far from perfect today. It seems you're set on him being amazing already, so I won't try to explain myself.

Who that this was worth reporting????

Regarding Penn St., I know a Penn St. fan who said they would absolutely kill Northwestern.. smh. And Armstrong really needs to work on his ball placement. Almost all of them have been way too high.

Yeesh, I like Armstrong's long floaters as he drops them in perfectly... but he needs to know when to throw bullets.
