I remember that game well. Keith Jackson's one handed catch and I think Keith Jackson (RIP) announcing the game. I was in HS and deciding if I wanted to walk-on. Great game but crushing result.

Not typically a fan of most alts but completely agree on this.

Let's work on winning a game first.

What a cute little crush you have on the coach and his teenage picture. LOL.

At this point I rather we go onto the field with actual leather helmets. Good grief.

I am actually taking this bet. UM played Ohio State tough, but failed to impress me in any of their wins. Injuries have hurt them a lot and Maryland's speed walked up and down the field on them. I say Nebraska 31, Minnesota 23. Yes, I am putting my money where my mouth is here.

This.

Fighting the good fight? LOL. Some of you guys really overemphasized the importance of this message board LOL.

Optimism is nice, but it will take a lot more than that. A LOT MORE.

Maybe Frost will do more than the Badgers, maybe he will not. People get upset, but the formula that NU had in the 80s and 90s is no longer possible. A state that not only has trouble with enough recruits in state, but even the states that adjoin it are not exactly talent rich. This will take an unbelievable feat. Back then we had Prop 48, over 100 scholarships, fewer teams on TV, more kids wanting to walk-on because there were fewer elite programs in the spotlight, etc. We are all longing for a winning team. Heck, right now just A win would be nice. However rising to the level of Wisky is a larger undertaking than some appear to think and reaching "dominance" is another thing altogether. It really may never happen again.

It does not matter to me what he did at UCF last year any more than it mattered what Riley did at OSU. One could say that UCF has not missed a beat without him this year. I am glad we have Frost, I really am, but I am tired of hearing about last year at a Group of Five school that I don't care about. There has to be a time when the kids on the roster right now respond to you, whether they are "his" kids or not. You can't argue that zero wins more than halfway into the season is as good, or better, than anyone.

Yep

Probably the punt team. However, I do agree Morgan and Spielman have a chance to show some things to the nation we know they can do tonight.

Agree. We all have been thinking it is a re-load. It used to be that but things got so far away from the culture of winning, toughness, and accountability. This is a complete rebuild unlike we have seen.

One of the greatest silver linings of all these departures is the fact that we will have more scholarships to give out for those who wish to be here. More opportunities for the right kids with the right work ethic and commitment to the future of this program. Get them on campus with a chance to play sooner rather than later. GBR.

Just something in the realm of college football as a distraction from our season. Halfway through the season, what are your predictions for the playoff? I am thinking Alabama Ohio State Notre Dame West Virginia I see Clemson losing and Georgia a strong argument, but selection going to Notre Dame and two conference champs (OSU and WVU).

I see Bryant at VT.

Exactly. Not as if the tape looks different. That said, low class move to make those comments. I hate Alabama, but I don't see Saban's team needing to make such comments when they dominate a team.

Agree. Being out of position and waving at guys with failed arm tackling didn't look good either.

There will never be a lack of idiots regardless of where you are or what the topic.

Wait? Did you say no reason?

He was joking. Nobody is quitting. This team does suck right now. It' unfortunately factual.

"It's not 1997 anymore"

So far, I have seen nothing to convince me that this team is better than last year. But if you think about it, why should it be? We were and remain to be far more than tougher weight room workouts, more energy, and a new scheme, from being competitive. Frost has very few of the players he recruited on the field.
