We need an O line that plays like #77.

 

 

There would be like 30 yards worth of penalties if a Nebraska O-Lineman did that.

Harrison Beck surely deserves a spot on this staff. I'd say a combination of responsibilities including strength and conditioning, diversity and inclusion, and motivational speaking. (warning: NSFW, and you may bust out laughing)

I think there's also a lot of people who kinda misremember or misunderstand Osborne's offense. It was run-heavy, but it wasn't a grind it out, 4 yards and a cloud of dust kind of deal. You never heard announcers say thing like "Nebraska's offense isn't built for comebacks" like you might with Wisconsin or Iowa.

Really?  How old are you?  If you were watching, you must not ever remember announcers in bowl games in the late 80s when Miami or FSU would get up a couple TDs on us.

 

Hell, even in the 96 Fiesta Bowl, when Florida goes up 10-6 in the first quarter, the broadcasters said something like, "Now, it will be important for Nebraska to not get too far behind in this game" because our offense couldn't keep pace with Florida's fun and gun.

What comes around goes around, Notre Dame. Brian Kelly also bailed on Cincinnati to take the ND job when Cincy was in contention for the NCG game at the time.

Brian Kelly literally killed a ND student during practice.

Nebraska this season has allowed a kickoff return for a touchdown, allowed a punt return for a touchdown, allowed a blocked extra point to be returned for a score, given up a safety on a punt, and muffed a fair catch on a kickoff;

I wonder how often (if ever) this collection of errors has ever happened to a single team in the same year? 

I have a friend who went to school at Florida. Four years ago, I bragged to him when we got Frost and they had to settle for Mullen. My friend predicted that Mullen would be more successful than Frost, but I predicted that Mullen would be fired in a few years while Frost would still be coaching at Nebraska. 
 

We were both right, but it also sucks for everyone.

I guess just under 90 minutes wasn't long enough to take everyone's guns, or to impose martial law, or to convert America to Socialism. 

 

Dodged a bullet today, folks!  

Speak for yourself! In those 90 minutes I decided to change my gender, then I used the bathroom. Afterward, I smuggled a few Mexicans across the border, then I taught them about critical race theory before dropping them off at an abortion clinic.

How funny would it be if Matt Davison was announced as the new OC.

He should be Special Teams coach. He has noteworthy experience fielding footballs after they have been kicked.

The U has it still?

 

Wow, are they or were they worried about enrollment numbers?

No, enrollment numbers aren't a problem. Most faculty and administrative staff have been in favor of masks, and students generally don't have a problem complying. 

In the K-12 schools, the only problem has ever been with the parents. The kids are cool with masks.

How many of you are in districts (school) that are still masking up?

 

 

My kids' schools in still have mask requirements (elementary and middle school), and the university I work for still has mask requirements indoors when in groups (I sit in my office all day without a mask). I believe both mandates will be reviewed again in January. I am in Ohio.

I admit that he was happy he made the 3rd down stop. I don't see any ill in starring down anyone for a short period of time without being in close proximity to any other individuals. 

 

You disagree. Fine. It wasn't taunting.

I was curious about that, too, but there was no overlap between the two.  Calvin's final season was in 2006, Paul's first year as coach was 2008.

Paul Johnson did have Demaryius Thomas, though. They used him as an effective decoy and then change of pace to keep the defense honest. He only caught about 3-4 passes per game but averaged 20-25 yards per catch and was drafted in the first round. Paul Johnson won 9 and 10 games his first two years with DT, then dropped to 6-7 after Thomas was drafted.

I wouldn’t be shocked to see Ron Brown come on board as the RB coach. Promote Bill Busch to ST coordinator. That leaves OL as the last and probably most critical hire. 

This is all certainly possible, but if we are just going to promote guys who are already here, that doesn't feel like a strong change. What's the point of retaining Frost for another year if he's not going to swing for the fences and actually try something new?

Not to mention Ron Brown is a PR liability.
