Guys, reading 009's desperate flailing in this thread has been more entertaining than anything else I have seen since the first four minutes of Saturday's game. Can he keep this up all season long?

Wow, after listening to that clip...how sad. What a sad little man.

Word is Matt Campbell won't talk to any other school until after their regular season.

Isn't that always part of how this game is played, though? Campbell (and any other active coach) may not be talking to any schools, but I'm sure he has agents and other reps engaged in discussions behind the scenes, passing along pertinent information.

TBH something new to test out!

As long as we are adding new rep emojis, there is a lot of $h!t in this thread that would justify bringing the eyeroll back.

I heard that Scott Frost once bullied a bunch of coaches into voting Nebraska #1 even though Michigan was undefeated. What an arrogant SOB! Don't know if it is true or not, though.

Seems like if he didn't make a habit of being late all the time, for example, it seems like the easy thing in the world for someone to say "yeah that didn't happen".  Instead, unless I've missed it, it seems like there's only been people substantiating the claim.

I don't think we need video evidence of it.

Who's been substantiating the claims?

That said, I have personally seen Scott wasted at lcc. The only defense is that I was also wasted and that’s what people do at country clubs. 

Well so far, your observation is the only firsthand account to substantiate any of the rumored improprieties (other than Frost showing up to a meeting with a sleeveless shirt). Now we’re getting somewhere!

When creating a poll, it only allows you to put 15 possible answers. We have more than double that...

Perhaps that is a sign that a poll at this point is premature and that this new thread is unnecessary?

Lol funny you mention clock management. On GSUs final drive with an eternity left in the game yet, the first play where the kid caught the ball and ran OB, the clock continued to run for 20 seconds. I knew it was going to come back to bite us haha. 

Even the little special teams decisions mattered in those last few seconds. Palmer tried to return the kick instead of taking the fair catch. He returned it to the 23, landed on his head, nearly fumbled, and ran 6 seconds off the clock. Poor decision, nothing new.

If you had to rely on a field goal to tie the game (or win the game, in several of our past losses), being two yards closer and having six more seconds to work with can make a big difference on that drive. But these little things have been plaguing us for years. In our first three games, we have returned kicks numerous times and come up short of the 25 just about every time. Failure to learn from our past mistakes, while continuing to make new mistakes, has been our identity. I hope Mickey can see that and fix it.

One thing that I never really understood during Scott Frost's time: when he first got here, I would listen to him talk at press conferences and such, and his words would make me want to run through a wall for him. Yet, his teams always came out flat and played uninspired football. Perhaps Frost knows how to motivate 40-year old fans like me, but not so much for 20 year old student-athletes.

However, I do believe/hope that Mickey Joseph has an ability to connect with these kids and get them fired up in ways that maybe Frost couldn't. Pay attention to demeanor on the sidelines and fire on the field this weekend and the weeks to come. I think that will tell us a lot about Joseph's leadership.

Did you read about the actual investigation?

Yes, I read the link that you posted and a few other articles. I also know how these sorts of investigations work. My statement remains.

What evidence do you have that the allegations are completely fabricated?

1 hour ago, Mavric said:

As if I needed another reason to dislike Duke:  their players apparently like to make s#!t up, cause a big fuss and it turns out to be completely fabricated.

 

But good thing South Carolina proactively cancelled games against BYU.

 

 

If this statement from BYU is accurate, it sounds like about as thorough an investigation as they could have reasonably done...but there is a big difference between not being able to find sufficient corroborating evidence, and your claim that Duke was "making s#!t up" or that it was "completely fabricated."

Which coaches that were hired during the season last year would we have wanted?

I never said there was anyone I wanted last year. But if there was, the end of the season would have been too late. 
 

I don’t know who we should hire the next go-around either. Sucks.

But what benefit is there to waiting until after Thanksgiving, when we know other teams will already be making moves before then?

So what are we gaining by firing him mid season?

There were a lot of coaching changes mid-season last year. The market for good coaches has gotten so competitive, and with the early signing period, we can't be standing around holding our dicks in our hands with no coach in January. 

Last year, even if Frost had been fired on the field after the Iowa game, most of the good candidates were already spoken for. Even though we all know that a lot of talk happens behind the scenes, if a firing is inevitable it behooves a school to pull the trigger early, strip away the pretense, and get on the market.

Trev restructured Scott's contract with the October date for a reason.

I mean, we learned everything we possibly needed to know.

Am I seeing two Northwestern logos on this field, and zero Nebraska logos?

Even Irish field painters are biased against the Huskers?

This is amazing stuff, but not shocking. 

Here is an article that summarizes the whole ordeal: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2022/08/25/rochester-new-york-firefighter-party/7892612001/

The best part was, the whole reason that the couple in that video above was holding this press conference was because they intended to file a defamation suit because they were accused of being racist. But during that very same conference, it was revealed that the woman had an active, anonymous racist twitter account.

Here are a couple more great tweets showing more:

No one said you had to drink Kool-aid just least have a smile that's it a new season. You seem very unhappy that football is back regardless if is the Huskers or not playing.

Dude, he simply said that his happiness doesn't hinge upon expecting a Husker victory every week. Sounds like he has a healthy outlook on life, and he has been around here a lot longer than you. Get off his nuts. 

So, Covid finally found my family last week. My symptoms were very mild, but when I was on the upswing, my senses of taste and smell suddenly went away. Now, I absolutely love eating. Trying new foods, discovering flavors, and eating and cooking food is simply a major part of my identity. But now there is no joy in it. I still eat food of course, out of an obligation, because I am hungry. But nothing satisfies me, and I get no excitement these days out of eating, cooking, or shopping. I used to get excited to eat, but my last meal was bland. My next meal will be bland. But I am going to eat anyway. I hope to be excited about eating again someday, because I remember what food used to taste like. But lately I've eaten too many tasteless bites and have been disappointed. I don't know when I will be able to taste again. I won't be excited about food until I actually take a bite and sense some flavor again. 

And in my own self pity about food and loss of taste, I also realized this is a perfect analogy for how I feel about Husker football.

NARA statement today.

 

 

The way Trump just casually admits to having the documents stored at Mar a Lago, and the way he has always tacitly admitted to many of his crimes, reminds me of this guy:

These comments on their own almost seem like evidence of sedition. They are literally asking to usurp federal authority.
