I mean, this is a nice thing to say and all...but...in the end as a fan we want the team to win.  

 

We had that...with Mike.

 

 

 

 

Being a good person and winning arent mutually exclusive.  Frost is a great guy and knows how to win.  Again, id rather be 4-8 under Frost than 10-2 under Pelini.

we still judging the last coach to take us to our last CTG and string multiple winning seasons together based solely off sideline antics? Not a boliever, just curious how people that justify firing him over this then go seem to forget how it played out afterwards and wether or not it was all worth it just to not have to worry about sideline antics?

Some things in life are more important than winning college football games. How you treat others (refs, players, fans, administration, etc) says a lot about a person. I'd rather be 4-8 under Frost, than 10-2 under Pelini.  

He thought he was clever and pulled a Mizzery hat out of a bag.

They’ve had 2 classes and 1 is ranked highest we’ve had since 05? I’d say they are doing well

Im happy with Frost and co recruiting.  That being said, Pelini, Riley and Callahan's later years doesnt really set the bar very high

I wonder if McCaffrey ends up at WR. He can play very soon and wouldn't be sitting behind Martinez for the next three years. He hasnt played a lot of QB in HS.  I think the next starter after Martinez will be brought in on the next recruiting cycle.  

Most boosters dont blindly give away their money, most have some sort of expectations or say in how that money is spent.  But you are right, may boosters have ruined programs. See places like Tennesee.

Frost came back because Perlman was gone.  He would not have came back no matter who the AD was under Perlman.

USC fans are upset but understand Noa's decision.  The fans absolutely hate Helton and blame him for their recruiting woes.

 

ASU fans are all sorts of pissed.  They just can't fathom how Noa could pick NU over them.  

 

Both fan bases do think we will get Pola-Moa now.  USC isn't as pissed about it as ASU is.  

 

I didnt realize that the top 20 recruits in AZ are all leaving the state!  That is crazy

I miss my chats with dr Stark, he payed a much larger roll in Nebraska’s achievments in the 90s than most realize

I would definitely have to disagree on that.  Unless they are going to change the rule on required thickness of the knee pad.  

If you ever been a boxer or training for boxing, youd think differently   

he was SE's 2nd in command, not surprised to see him go.  I am more surprised he wasn't let go before now.  

Chip doesnt like OU as much, which is why he turned down the job last year.  Phil is not easy to work with, and he essentially runs the AD department.  I dont see any way they can pay Chip enough to want to return.

Pederson isnt leaving UW.  THe expectations are lower, and Seattle isnt near the fish bowl Eugene is.  On top of that, UW medical center is one of the top notch facilities in the US.  Because of his sons condition, I doubt he will leave.  

They are stuck with Sumlin or trying to steal Leach if they want anyone with a pulse.

That guy is full of BS.

Good men do the right thing now matter what is best for them or how hard it may be.  I think it speaks volumes about his character and I am happy that man like him is representing my team and home state.  

SE wanted to be involved with football like Barry. He tried to run it like a pro team where he was the owner, Devanney was the General Manager and Riley as coach.  Alverez has Wiscy doing very well on this model, but SE is no Barry Alverez.  

Pelini and his staff are F'in idiots and thought because he was a NU homer that they could get him to walk on.

If that's all true, then whodoes aTm go after? If it's Fisher, then who does FSU go after?

Fisher will stay at fsu, Tamu will get Gary from TCU.

He brought subpar assistance with him, then let SE hire his assistance. Diaco is a cancer that turned an 8-4 team into 4-8.

You can have the best S&C in the world, but if the coaches wont make the players attend or work hard, it does absolutely nothing.  Mark is a hell of a trainer, but there is no accountability from the players. A few players think they are so good they dont need to workout, or if they do its "half-assed" then they leave.

My point is high school ball does not compare to college ball. Like I said, it wasnt anything negative towards him. 

Have you seen IMG players or who they play?  He is playing against guys who will be starting at P5 programs next year or the year after.  IMG could probably beat a handful of low level P5 programs, imo.

BLACKshirts, and what is so bad about a change every so often?! Recruits/Players love it

I highly doubt most players or recruits give 2 s#!ts about what fans are wearing.  I havent heard a single person say they want to go to Iowa because they alternate colors....maybe i am wrong.  

I dont mind trying new things.  At the same time, whats wrong with wanting to see the Sea of Red?  IMO, start a new tradition in a place that doesn't already have one (ie. sea of red).  The Boneyard is F'n awesome, that was a great idea. I am all for the student section being all black, just personally like the Sea of Red over the Black-Out

I never understood the black-out stuff.  We have ZERO black in our team colors.  IMO, Id rather see the sea of red.
