This gripe seems to come up a lot. I watch a ton of college football but never college gameday. I watch football all Saturday long,  I don't need a couple hours of guys talking about college football beforehand. 

As for the lack of gameday on campus perhaps we should lose less than four games in a year before we cry injustice. 

I know I should care about GameDay being on campus because it would benefit recruiting and help the local economy but I just can't bring myself to.

So is the curse broken or how does that work?

Nope, looks like now his first game will be against Colorado.

Div1 soccer player here, if they lose then I will take care of you having any more, a swift boot and youre done and I will get the younger ones after so we can end the curse haha.

I would want sedated, not conscious for any curse preventing procedure.

You just HAD to have another kid before Frost's first game?!?!

The way thing went down I was thinking he would be a bowl game baby those are usually 50/50, never dreamed we'd go 4-8 last year

A new head coach, and a new son for me whose first game is tomorrow. The last chance (Unless something 'accidentally' happens) until I have grand kids for the curse to be broken. That could make it stretch to the 80 year mark

I think if the curse continues I might just go get snipped. 

I forgot to mention years ago after Rileys BYU loss that my mother was born just before the Devaney era, so.....yep she qualifies as well. Also fun fact, my dad was the only one born during a football season.....and during a 7 game losing streak.........ouch. 

Also find it interesting that another Bowden is coming to town, this time Terry and Akron instead of Bobby and FSU.

I'd like to save this thread after we win (hopefully) and so I can show my son some day how he became my lil' curse breaker, esp. after everything I've been through these last two years. 

So please send well wishes to future little RMR, ask him about hoverboards and future stuff. 

Oh, and sorry @DrunkOffPunch for not following orders. 

Thanks letting me share,....again.

Would you advise your child to pursue a dream as an actor or poet? Part of becoming an adult is balancing what I want to do with practicality.

In TG's case I would say follow your dreams, you can always adult later. Worst case you end up with a degree from SOMEWHERE that you didn't have to pay for. 

I personally went the 'safe' route and I'm not regretful I did but it doesn't stop me from wondering what would have happened or if I would've been happier.

I not-this-yeared, although I'd be happy to be wrong.

Thanks for sharing, that is not at all what I'd been picturing.

This quote seems deliberately taken out of context to cause a s**t storm of anger from Nebraska fans. 

 

On a personal level i wanna feel offended and all but i'm just too old to care.

Yes, agreed. I feel like someone is trying to get me angry. I just don't care. We Nebraska fans are notoriously easy to mess with because we take football so seriously. If it wasn't this, they'd be trotting out some other thing to rile up Husker Nation.

Sorry if already posted, here is ESPN’s FPI projections:

 

 

Seems somewhat fair at 6-6, but I wouldn’t agree with most of the percentages. Specifically Northwestern: that seems like more of a toss-up than anything. Purdue and Colorado games likely determine if we go bowling, have to like our chances there.

 

My main concern for this year is our depth, which sounds shaky and possibly worse than I expected. Depth issues means I have no confidence in the last 5 games or so, excluding Illinois. Iowa on the road is a manageable game unless we are dealing with some injuries by that point.

Is anyone else like me and totally forgot about Troy? 

I thought of the season as Akron, Colorado...some other teams,....Ohio State, Michigan and our division. For some reason I thought we drew Penn State out of the east too.....

I liked this quote 

Quote

Osborne said Frost's return has "heightened my engagement and level of interest."

I get the QB situation at LSU hasn't been great, but at least we've had a few drafted in the past few years. According to google before Tanner lee, 1992 was the last time a Nebraska quarterback was actually drafted to play quarterback.

 

FWIW, I'd rather Burrow come to Nebraska. We have enough drama queens that need to play down here.

Sorry for the side note. Keithen McCant is the QB in question, went in the 12 round to the Browns, some guy name Nick Saban was their DC..... Looks like he played 3 years of Canadian ball. I was trying to figure out if he made it to the preseason but I can't find stats for the preseason that go back that far, anyone know ?

It's getting really painful seeing on the wrong end of so many guys highlight reels. I'm glad I didn't make a drinking game out of it. That center from Iowa's reel was brutal.

I will take "Grasping at Straws for $1,000, Alex"

Okay,  just me then, fine. 

Did anyone else find the clips from yesterday's practice report about POB leaving a little terse? The weekend at bernies qb coach kept saying "It's up to you guys to piece that together" and the OC starts off by saying he doesn't want to comment on it but adds "He just wasn't there, and we have to work with guys that are there...." 

No well wishes, no "he's a good kid with a bright future,..." or other typical coach speak. I read a statement from Frost that sounded more typical of what you hear when someone transfers, this one just feels different for me. Am I alone? 

And for the record I do look forward to watching him succeed elsewhere and wish him the best of luck.

I have YouTube TV and love it. You can select your favorite teams and it automatically records all of their games. Comes with BTN and a bunch of other sports channels.

That sounds interesting, I might have to look into that. I hate paying for cable an only using it for sports.

Shocker HD sounds like a high-definition specialty porn site. 

 

Just sayin'. 

Yes it does. Can I still listen to game three via huskers.com? I missed the first two games, just wondering.

What knapp is saying is if you wear a Nebraska tshirt it should say Huskers but if you wear a red Nebraska leisure suit while drinking fancy alcohol with important people it should say Cornhuskers.

How many QBs do NFL teams typically have on their roster at a time? I could maybe see a team taking him on as a long-term project in hopes that they can teach him to read a defense, but he's not even gonna be ready to be a #2 guy next year, let alone #1.

Usually 3

Tanner Lee on the list is almost meta. He wouldn't be on the list if we weren't getting a new coaching staff.

This year is more about getting the returning players to adjust to a new system than replacing players from the old system anyway. 

Like most people here I like the idea of letting a kid transfer if he loses his coach but other than that things need to be left alone. I find the idea of a free agency version of college football to be really damaging to the sport and just another nail in the coffin of the sport I used to love.

Since when did Nebraska NOT feature patsies in the non-con schedule?

 

Our mid-90s powerhouse teams always feasted on one or two Pacifics, Akrons or North Texases

Yes for as long as I can remember the formula has been 2 or 3 gimmie's and 1 home and home. The only thing that's changed is whether we have 3 or 4 non-con games.

Wisconsin is boring, unimaginative football. I throw up every time someone compares our old teams to them. It's how I stay so skinny.

Osborne built his program with great offenses for over 20 years.  What got NU over the hump in the 90s, was adding a fast and attacking defense, as JKinney points out.

I agree!!!  I don't want NU to become Wisconsin.  I want NU to become better than Wisconsin.

Alvarez a former Husker patterned the Wisky program from top to bottom after Nebraska's. Sure it's a little more Big Tenish, but also makes the losses more painful. Being beaten by a team dressed in red that uses smash mouth football to wear down your defense.
