Kiyoat Husker

epic, and that was exactly what I was thinking of. +1

Yeah, how did the voice of "The Longhorn Network " get into a Husker video? I did enjoy that video, though. Excellent editing.

The hard things to know are the intangibles each QB has. Decision-making skill and speed. Instincts, field vision, toughness, confidence, intelligence, ability to read the defense, running style, elusiveness, etc, etc. The ability to evaluate those intangibles in a recruit without the benefit of seeing that player running your offense is what separates the elite talent evaluates from the rest. I hope Frost & Co. are as good at that as T.O. appeared to be in his prime. In the end, I'm just glad he will have a number of options on-campus this spring at QB. The cream should rise to the top.

Drink.

Personally I think his respect for Nebraska stems from the knowledge and skills of the callers from "Bugaha". He is a coneseuer of smack-talk.

The Ryan Helds vs. Harbaugh in a recruiting battle:

I'll be interested to see if some of our large non-coach football staff can somehow help manage a larger group of walk-ons without running afoul of the NCAA. I have no idea what all the specifics are with regard to those rules.

What are everyone's thoughts on the changes in college football that have made having a big, contributing walk-on program at Nebraska more difficult? What can be done to get around these obstacles? I feel like HCSF sounded determined to make it happen, and i tend to believe that he will try. T.O. always seemed to be good at finding creative solutions to Nebraska's disadvantages. How is Nebraska going to convince players NOT to take advantage of scholarship opportunities? Are NCAA rules about number of coaches and practice time an obstacle? How about "volunteer" coaches? Or is it just as simple as the fact that past coaches just didn't "get it"? Even Frank started the trend of a smaller walk-on program, IIRC.

Chuck Norris/ Barry Allen I think.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that basically a description of what Meyer runs at OSU? Not that that's a bad thing.

So would you agree with the statement that "this offense doesn't require super-stud QB's to make it great"? I would contend that Mariota actually was a "super-stud" coming out of high-school - he was just an unknown, due to playing backup to another D-1 bound QB. I don't know much about Milton. I disagree with that statement. Recruiting less-than-accurate QBs that are great runners is not going to make Frost's offense great, IMHO. As you explained, there is a difference between accuracy and completion percentage. A QB with poor accuracy isn't going to get more accurate by running this system. They might get a bump in stats, but wouldn't you rather have the stud (accurate/ athletic/ intangibles) QB?

Maybe he could invite Les up to his office and compare trophies.... or Frank.

Question: Do we oversign a little, in anticipation of transfers? I'm sure there will be at least a few.

Wait a second. Let's not go back to the old narrative about getting QBs that nobody is recruiting as a QB. Frost's system may very well artificially elevate a QB's accuracy (I'm not agreeing or disagreeing, don't know enough about it), BUT, it shure as hell will run better with a more accurate QB. Frost isn't going to go for RBs that want to be QBs. He is going to try and get the best dual threat guys in the country, going H2H with other top programs. Mariota wasn't lightly recruited because he had a bad completion percentage. He was just unknown because he was a backup. Helfrich "found" him, saw his potential, and the rest is history. I don't know about Milton, but I doubt he had a low completion percentage in HS.

Three B1G teams pulled off upsets in the second round. Not surprised, but good to see.

If you're going to dip things in frosting daily you may want to rename it the Mangino/Weis Jayhawk diet.

nvm. this thread moves too fast!

I LOVE SLOGANS! /s

Your analogy works until you realize that Frost will not have a Suh or Amukamara on his 2018 team. I think frost will be great here, but let's not start off with expectations of immediate dominance. Frost deserves a little patience IMO and I hope he gets it.

Imagineering is what's going on here.

What, no 300 gifs?

You know what tastes good with cheese fries? A nice cold pale ale

I enjoy cheese fries.

Etymology is fun, and so is surname origin. For example, I'll just pick a random surname.....
