Frustrated

Iowa lets other teams make their mistakes and capitalizes off of them.  Unfortunately, Nebraska is freely giving.  Assuming Martinez's shoulder is still hurt, that will probably lead to 2 to 3 picks.

He seemed fine late in the game. Was he faking?

We did not look any worse with a hodgepodge  O staff.

I'm biased, but RB's looked better

Reaffirmed my belief the O staff should have been let go after 2019

Frost still struggle with time management and play calling

Smothers burned his shirt instead of AM kneeling

Don't ever put the game in the hands of the refs or the fight in the judges

We better plan to spend several million on assistants.  We are "not that close"

The statistical possibility of going 5-19 in 1 score games is .25%

For those not watching Wisky this year, Allen has done this since he started.  Seven 100 yard games in a row.  4* out of Wisconsin.  Was projected as a safety, LB or RB.  He is a freak.

Missing Daniels, JoJo and Williams hurt.

D needs to be taught how to wrap up.  Too many missed tackles to count

Had we used AA more he would be an AA this year

No idea how Frost survived.  A lot of our problems are still here.  I wouldn't mind if he simply became the "face of the program" and let the assistants run the program. Hard to believe he is this bad with the coaches he has been under.

 

Apologies in advance for the long list.   

He has been nowhere with any actual authority. That's the problem. He's in charge now, and is NOT THE GUY. Cut Frost loose. He's not it.

my hot take, FROST IS WAY OVER HIS HEAD. He can't do it. Let it go.

I learned that the Big 10 would make more money if the just name Ohio State the Big 10 champions at the beginning of every season and then just have big concerts at the stadiums every weekend.

No

Great kick...forgot we had to actually tackle the guy with the ball. That's coaching, that happens at practice. We failed.

This game was lost on the opening kickoff. NU can't be playing from behind the entire game. The offense had 2 or 3 possessions where the game was tied. That's not a winning strategy. 

Not even close to accurate. We blew the coverage for sure, but that's not even  in the ball park of why we lost. We suck. Our coaches suck. We can hang with anyone, but just simply sh*t our pants when it counts...that's why we lost.

The Wisky RB is going to destroy NU for years to come.

Jet sweep anyone???

I think you have an alterior motive for wanting us to beat iowa and truly dont give a s#!t.  Take your problems elseware were full up.

Of course Gopher fan has an ulterior motive, but who the f*ck cares! We NEED to beat Iowa, the message is clear and concise. If we lose on Friday, we should never play on the Friday after thanksgiving again. It's over.

Anyone that thinks officiating doesn’t matter is getting banned.

That's not why we suck, but good take. Really.

I don't think Allen played in the final 3 plays and Toure was out in the final play.  Should have been PI at the end, but we know we aren't going to get that call.

We know this why? We are better than that.  Plenty of no-calls went our way but I don't see anyone talking about that. 

As far as I am concerned, this loss has a silver lining...we can STOP the absurd BS comments about getting a pity bowl invite to some sh*tty bowl game because other teams dont have 6 wins...that ship sailed away, for that I am grateful...we don't deserve it. We are good, we don't get blown out, but we can't figure out how to actually score more football points than our opponent. That's not an ideal quality.

Do we even have a place to keep the Freedom trophy?  I mean, we have no clue how big it is since we have never touched it...

Does coach Osborne really talk to Frost or offer suggestions? I think Osborne respects the whole thing so much he won’t dare give advice to Frost on what to do, as if in some way it would be disrespectful. But seriously coach Osborne, time to be a coach again and coach Frost.

I think Osbourne is done. Move on.

Hey... member that time against Wisconsin when Wsterkamp was destroyed on a potential game winning play, last play of the game, and no PI was called too???

 

Amazing how this keeps happening.

Really??? Come on! We're better than this.

good hustle from the team this week things to work on for next week

Are you serious? I can't tell. We played as tough and hard as we have all season...but we are lacking something...we can't handle pressure. In a word, we suck.

Martinez hurt throws better than Merch healthy

Or anything to do with coaching football players, really.  Just be the figurehead type.  

but...he was National Champ at Florida directional...

...matter of time

Colin Wilder took advantage there!

Just now, MichiganDad3 said:

Martinez made some great throws in the 1st half. I don't think we can win without him unless Smothers runs often and hits the short passes. I also think it is a guaranteed loss if AM plays with a hurt shoulder.

I'd rather bet on AM with a hurt shoulder than the trash that *Merch throws. In other words, I like our chances.

Our special teams may get the loss, at least at halftime. They absolutely blew the opening kick

Hey, we're in it...for now.

And we have never held the ugly trophy...

Kansas beat Texas last weekend and a kid (think Rudy) playing his first snap as a Jayhawk, scored the game-winning conversion. Kansas' 2d win over the Longhorns since World War II. I looked it up, since the Beatles arrived on the scene in America, Huskers are 5-9 vs. Wisconsin. Who's to say we can't be like Kansas and win this one? GBR.

That's just the base salary. It sounds like the flipside is that it's structured to give bigger performance-based bonuses, like for bowls and such.

Maybe it just says, bonus if we don't suck?
