CPT Blackshirt

Yeah I guess I don’t get it.... non paid non Nebraska site. So not competing and not circumventing any cash flow... why wouldn’t we be able to see a link? That’s like saying someone has been chronicalling the Nebraska coach search on Wikipedia... and saying we can’t post a link to Wikipedia. I mean rules are rules but seems silly.

So I listened to the whole Diaco interview from yesterday, and I came away more concerned about the entire program more than anything else. I was fairly shocked to hear that the administration has been forcing things like how to tackle to our coaches - and it seems like this has been an institutional problem for awhile (the meddling). It is hard for me wrap my head around that... seems like a huge handcuff for any staff to do what they need to do in order to succeed. The fragmented culture and overall program showing its cracks in the foundation - it all seems to need a reset. I basically feel less worried that we hire the right coach... but more of a worry for the program as a whole needing a fresh start with a clean slate. Im not sure how that happens but Im hopeful Moos can do it with whoever he decides to hire. 

Listen at around 22:01 through 22:24 in regards to Diaco... just a small segment but I thought it was interesting. Sounds like there is 0% Diaco is here next year based on what Benning says at the end of that. I mean... they are all gone... but first time I heard him come out and be definitive about it.

No offense intended to you CPT Blackshirt but Florida is a crap job. I don't believe a word of this. There are just as many 'reliable NU' inside information posters on this board that would refute this information in a minute. Scott has to consider his new family.  Come home where his folks are and everyone knows him-wants to support him or live in Gainsville where we know he will initially be welcomed then fired after he loses his first few games.  He will find no compassion there. Nope.  Not buying this.

No offense taken because I did not say it or think it to be true. Just letting the peeps on this board know what was being said on Florida boards to keep them in the loop a bit with rumors that are swirling over there. I live in Florida so I have to hear a bunch of BS from my Gator loving boss and co-workers on the regs. 

I get the change for him... respect making your own decision for whatever reasons. Not going to get bent out of shape about it anymore. I want everyone that is good to come and play for the team I cheer for. But if you choose not to... Bye Felicia. Just another story about what could have been when we see him in the NFL.  

I just want to be relevant again with a good coach and a team that plays tough for them... all this speculation, clamoring about coaches blah blah blah - it gets old. I was excited about Riley when he was hired and the opportunity that change brought. That has slowly died in my mind. I will again be excited when we get a new coach and a new opportunity for change. I just dont want that to be my only excitement for Nebraska football the rest of my life.

Honest question:

 

Say we have a top 15 recruiting class heading into Iowa game. Say we go 7-5.

 

Are you:

 

A) Canning Riley

B) Waiting to can Riley until after NSD

C) Giving him another year

D) Convincing him to retire with a buyout before Spring Ball.

 

If we have a talented class, we must find a way to get them here.

 In that scenario... I lean towards C. Top 15 class means he has some additional 4 stars... and possibly even a 5 star in the fold. Say we have a new AD by then... I am assuming he takes the recruiting into this scenario - probably replaces Cav and Reggie. AD gives him an ultimatum for next year that it is CCG or BYE. You lose 2-3 games early and he gone. Lets Scott Frost work on being a coach a little longer.... he is still super young in his HC career. Any time working issues out that he comes across at UCF makes it easier for him to have success when he inevitably comes here.

Who wrote the article

247 I think it is VIP though - I don't have access to it but was talking to a colleague -they could be blowing smoke though... they are all UF alum. Still staying with my feeling of 70/30 though. Living in Florida and working for and with a lot of UF people I always get a lot of smack talk about them and hear about their recruiting rumors. Best part about it though is that my screen saver, which never shuts off, is a scrolling montage of  Frazier's run in the Fiesta Bowl. 

New article on this - in a nutshell he is talking with Florida more then ever, up in the air about any kind of flip, but that there is no place like Nebraska. I feel 70/30 on him stay/flip

Just heard from a UF guy with some ties that bookie has joined the allbite18 groupchat fwiw

Matt Corral the five star that just committed to Florida is working on bookie fwiw. Not worried just sharing

CB for TAMU today for Avery.

Bumping this because there was some tweet he made referencing us or something - thought I saw a VIP article on 247 about it.

FYI we are getting worked by Arizona in this poll.

So his name is Nicholas Little Brother

Little Nicky.

Pitt put out a tweet saying he was announcing at 9AM and that he was uncommited? Bleh.

I feel like if your initial knee jerk response to a tweet is that you want to stay home and not something like keeping your options open or something else like that... Then maybe that is truly what it is. Which makes it feel like a usc Oregon type situation

Does anyone know how one gets named a captain of the NFLPA Collegiate Bowl? The article didn't mention anything about that. Interested to know if it was voted on by peers or hand picked by coach... maybe just pulling a name out of a hat lol. Always loved watching him play wish his elbow didnt get hurt this year we could have used his talents.

What about that lake guy from Washington... co-dc

Poly swag.

Poly swag.

Youngstown is back baby.

Since Tennessee is wearing grey alternates can we go red tops over white bottoms? Think that would be a cool looking game.
