Hot take: if I was Nebraska I would no longer take JUCO players unless they are almost a sure fire bet. Instead, I go after portal players both grad transfer and one year sits. Seriously. The track record for this staff recruiting JUCO guys is abysmal. I really thought that having Held was gonna help here but it’s been a let down.
-
You just have to take the right ones. Unfortunately, we seem to have struck out more times than not under Frost. Held's connections are very helpful, but we need to take impact players. I like the idea of the portal because it is the same low risk high reward similar to Juco players. Also, portal players know what it is like at the D1 level going against others in practice. I think 1-2 would be fine down the road to plug holes or add depth.

Get Tom on the phone right now. Fire Verduzco and have Hermann be the QB/Co-OC
-
I would say no to that. He does have a connection here. However, he went behind Gus' back and tried to get the boosters to help him to be HC at Auburn. Would he do the same here? He seems like a guy that wants to stay in the South. Last thing we need is a revolving door of assistants. I think he runs the 4-3 but might be wrong on that. If so, we would be asking our guys to learn an entire new defensive scheme. Big name guy, but I will take a pass on him. We need to look at other areas such as special teams and offense to improve.

9 wins
17 losses

My wife is binge watching Last Chance U. I’m not watching but from what I overhear it sounds like Scared Straight for college athletes
-
@Cdog923 it is kinda sad because Laney deserves one more year like all the other schools. Oh well, I am excited for some Juco basketball though!

After following a lot of Nebraska players on twitter: it is hilarious to me how people think this program is squeaky clean. Everyone on the team has way too nice of a car for a college aged student

Who is the last 2020 scholarship for? Per this article, there's one scholarship left (and it cites Nadab Joseph as a target), but it seems to imply that Spielman's scholarship would be open as well.
Who would that be for? A current walk-on given a final-year scholarship for his hard work? A recruit?
-
So @Mavric we could not take a grad transfer wide receiver this cycle? If Nadab Joseph comes here of course.

The targeting call was the right call but that fumble was indeed a fumble

We really took our 9 wins for granted that we got as fans. Many of us on here thought anyone could get 9 wins at Nebraska, myself included. Now, we would be ecstatic to just get that many wins. Sigh.
-
Gotcha @JJ Husker, not trying to have a bring back Bo party or anything but I would love to get 9 wins. Sadly it might be two or three years until we can get that many. Let's just hope this suffering we go through now will pay off.

@JJ Husker I get what you are saying, but you can't at least acknowledge you would rather have 9 wins this year and playing in a Florida Bowl game. Look at the program and 9 wins would be huge for us. I would be ecstatic to win the division before we start wanting conference titles. It won't happen for a few years. If we can get back to that these years of suffering would definitely be worth it.

Did we really play an entire game penalty-free? That's impressive.
-
Five SEC teams lose their opener, three of them to G5 teams.
-
@JJ Husker The only reason they played soft was that they weren't beat up enough. You should know for an SEC team to play well they need to be beaten down a bit. Also, lol at Finebaum saying that was the low point for Tennessee football because it was one game.

Seeing the qb for Miami makes what Martinez did last year so special. That kid is horrible... No doubt he is tough, but what's between the ears is suspect.
-
I have been watching a ton of tape over the last few months. I think calling Nebraska's D horrible or abysmal is a gross overstatement, and it doesn't really explain why we lost 8 games. Despite not having a true nose, good safeties, and starting the best catch tackler/ most underwhelming 4 year starter in Nebraska history (D.Young); they didn't get a ton of help from the Offense when it mattered. Our Offense was so boom or bust, but mostly bust. There are so many quarters where the Offense did not put up points. If Nebraska is able to just eliminate scoreless halves and quarters, it changes everything. Let alone a decent jump on D would make Nebraska more than formidable. They could contend for the conference rather easily.
-
Yea, I definitely see an improvement on both sides of the ball. One thing that killed us last year was the inability to get off the field on 3rd or 4th down when it mattered. I think being one play away can be a year one problem most of the time and it comes with the growing pains. Conversely, the offense needs to make plays more consistently. We can't have a 21 point quarter and 10 points for the remainder of the game. I believe averaging 38 plus a game shows the definition of a consistent offense. We left so many points on the field last year as well in 2018 that it should for sure be more consistent for 2019.

Has anyone tried Sling? Is it reliable? I need a way to get beIN Sports since Comcast dropped it and saw Sling offered it.

Hey guys. I was wondering how many of you would like to be in the Huskerboard ESPN Tournament Challenge this year. It was really fun last year, and should be fun once again this year. If you want to join, the group name is Huskerboard 1. Let me know if you have any questions.

Billy Donovan sux. Mo Cheeks 4 head coach
-
Pretty sure Coach Verdu just committed a recruiting violation on twitter lol. Oh well, it was funny and that guy is awesome!

Nebraska is now 0-6 with the new uniforms that have no stripes. #Bringbackthestripes.
-
@Cdog923 I think you mean 2007 instead of 2008? Anyway, we at least won games with them and now we are not winning games. I thought the striped pants were a lot cooler than these uniforms.

Frost is going to have to change his policy of not benching players for making mistakes. The stupid mistakes are killing them.
-
Well I did not know you meant that my bad. Please chill as I did not realize you were referencing stupid mistakes. You said bench them for making mistakes and I would just disagree but you must be mentioning the dumb mistakes. Stupid mistakes such as Roughing the passer, yes you give em a talking to. Scott will never change his mantra though.

You know what makes this worse? The fact that we had to wait all damn offseason, all damn day for this game and we didn't even get to have it.

Wow, LeBron is playing with a bunch of bums. Absolutely remarkable that he's pushed this Warriors team to the limits twice in this series.

Melo and Billy Donovan can go kick rocks. Mo cheeks should be hc
