  1. Anybody else think MoWa gets his hand slapped for tweeting from the locker room during the game?  Injured or not - I'm betting this isn't a Frost approved act.

      I do not follow him.  They read the tweet on the air during the game.  I would assume you do as most players do - either get yourself treated, dressed and back to the field to play or treated, into street clothes and back to the sideline to watch the game.  Nothing shocking content-wise for sure, but I'd bet anybody doing it would get spoken to.  Wasn't even thinking about his ongoing legal drama.

      They can’t be too shocked he does dumb things with his phone at this point

  4. Great site to check and make sure you're registered to vote, sign up for absentee ballot if needed or verify your voting location and representatives, one stop shopping!  www.iwillvote.com

      Why do I need to register on this site to "commit to voting"?

      This looks like a site that's doing nothing but getting my information to send me a bunch of political crap for one side or the other.

      yep...at the bottom of the page.  

       

      By providing your phone number you are consenting to receive calls to that number from the DNC and each of the individual state parties. You also agree that you would like to receive periodic text messages from the DNC. Msg&Data rates may apply. Text STOP to cancel or HELP for help.

      I didn't get that ... my link took me to the state of Massachusetts Secretary of the State website and allowed me to search by name address etc.  I didn't mess with "I commit to vote" but instead "check if I'm registered".  Perhaps that's the difference?  

       

      Edit: just tried for the state of NE and you don't have the same choice I do.    I checked MT, HI, NJ, AL, FL, WA, WV, UT, TX, NH, SD and others and they all have the screen below.  Only Nebraska, North Dakota And Maine don't  have the option.  So I'm sorry BRB.  Wasn't trying to corner anybody - odd that most states allow online verification except a handful.  If I have time later I'll contact the site directly about the requirements for those states.  I find that really unusual.  And I don't blame you - I don't give my info to anybody.5b735bd947a07_ScreenShot2018-08-14at6_46_18PM.thumb.png.6964bc8efb4e17a3bf8aff9ce5e87089.png

      This one has links to each state's site and ability for Nebraska to search by county, name, birthdate etc.  Maybe it's more helpful:  https://www.vote.org/am-i-registered-to-vote/

      I agree @ladyhawke. If we could get to that point as a country it sure would make a whole bunch of issues easier to deal with. Unfortunately we still have a segment that doesn't understand there exists a gap between what the law says and what actually happens. And of course there is that other segment that doesn't acknowledge or desire equality. Hopefully some day...

  10. Deep thought over cereal this morning.  In hats/tshirts etc I think "Huskers" can stand on it's own. But, if there's a "Nebraska" involved, it should always be "Nebraska Cornhuskers".  "Nebraska Huskers' looks silly.

      Totally agree, use Huskers alone but Cornhuskers following Nebraska. But over cereal is no time to be delving into these deep philosophical issues.

      Actually, I think this would be a good topic to bring up to Bill Moos.  He seems like a guy who is welcome to recommendations and not be complete a-holes to fans like a couple of our past AD's.

      1.  I don't think 3 years is enough time for a new coach.  Riley getting pushed out at this time is setting a standard that we won't be able to move away from or overcome.  What coach would come in knowing that he is potentially out in 2-3 years?  What recruits would come knowing that history of late shows that the state doesn't support the coach?  That the chances of them having more than one coach in their college career is high?   2.  Seems like most people had issue with the AD.  So why not get a new one on board and see if that gives the program what it needs.  3.  Issues now (imo) are really tied to the OL - and I think a change there at the same level of the Diaco hire makes a huge difference in recruiting and performance of that position.  3.  You all can tell me that you'd be crushing on Frost even if he wasn't an alum, but I challenge that.  There aren't any other persons' of interest that you'd be taouting that have 10 years of coaching experience, and only 1 year at a HC level - and that one is in the The American Athletic Conference.  He may indeed be the next coming - but now is not the time to gamble.  4.  Those of you arguing that "now's the time - if we don't snag him now we never will".  Bunk.  IF he goes elsewhere this year (which I'd bet is a huge IF) and he wins and puts the time in, do you not think the NE gig, would be equally attractive to him in 2, 3, 5, 10 years down the line?  If it's something he wants to do, it will still be something he wants to do in several years.  When he's more proven.  When he has more experience.  5.  I don't think it's time to change HC's, but if you do it should be someone with name recognition (outside the state) that is of the caliper of the guns that have been mentioned here for years.  If you can't get that level - that's on us.  And if you can't then what we have is a pretty good damn fit.  6.  A program that starts over every3-5 years will never be successful.  Period.  There is no gaurantee the recruiting momentum continues with a new coach.  If I was a recruit that was graduating next year I wouldn't even glimpse at NU if there was another coaching change.  And we would certainly lose those who have verbally committed for 2017, as well as the regular attrition of players who are currently here that would leave after Riley left.  Sooooo many other points to make but I need to get out of the house and nobody needs to read more of my rant.

      Riley isn’t coming back to coach next year. He’s so dejected, if he isn’t fired he’s retiring and over the pressure of this job. Go look at all his interviews since Ginger’s firing. He doesn’t have “it”. Frost does. We’re not the only one taking notice. 3 years is enough time just look at oh I don’t know, what Scott Frost is doing at UCF and tell me again that 3-years is not enough time. There is marked improvement between Frost’s team now and the 0-12 team. The recruiting argument is getting so old at this point. Yeah, a recruit might not come if a coaching change happens, but we’re not going to land the big fish if we’re 4-8. Hell, even if we do they won’t be coached up to succeed. I also am past the point of allowing Riley to fire people to keep

      his job. The man has been coaching for 20+ years and should’ve been able to see the flaws in all the coaches he’s let go. He had an open checkbook to go out and get the best coaches and he brought in several of his buddies, only for them to continually suck (Hughes, banker, 450, cav, Langs). That doesn’t scream high coaching IQ to me.

      If Riley loses to Wisconsin tomorrow, it's guaranteed he won't be back next year. You can't win the West if you can't beat Wisconsin and if he loses tomorrow, Riley will be 0-3 against Wisconsin. 

  16. Not looking to generate a discussion here per policy - but there is another healthcare vote being held this week, an important one, a sneaky one.  If you have feelings on this it's worthwhile to call or visit your Senators' office.  I would be happy to point you toward some resources to learn about what's being presented and what it means to you, as well as share info on how to reach your leadership.  PM me or check out convos in the P&R section.

  17. Wondering if the leaders of our board might discuss making an entire topic section designed to hold the "Fire Eichorst" "Mike Sucks" threads?  Seems like we have enough live, newly started topics right now, many with just one or two posts to make an entire new section.  PEOPLE FIGURE OUT HOW TO ADD CONTENT TO ONE OF THE EXISTING 37 THREADS ON THIS ISSUE.

      I remember that day so well. Our country was in mourning for such a long time. I had a good friend who was working at the Pentegon that year. Wow. Was so relieved when he shared that they were ok.  Let us never forget.

      I think that it's up to our families, schools, culture to remember this day. It's like the Holocaust. I wasn't born then but I have seen the atrocities of that horrible time! (Visited Dachau concentration camp-the evilness of man was so thick in that place.)

      I guess I never thought about it but "never" is not inclusive at all.  Don't you think with your beliefs that it should not be "never trump" but something like "Let us all help to embrace a change in trump"

    3. NM11046

      NM11046

      So tell me how you think saying there should never be racisim or bigotry etc is negative or non-inclusive.  Quit trying to make something out of this other than what it is.  If you want to debate the positives of misogyny or islamophobia let's take it to P&R.   If you're just trolling look for another victim.

      So far in Boston the Alt Right is just a few hundred folks - the counter-protesters (of which there are thousands) are marching from a couple miles away, and in theory they shouldn't have much interaction.
