@funhusker it isn’t just about looks—it’s also about quality of service. See below when I worked a convention some time ago.

That's kind of where I'm at, Mav. I almost expect there not to be any fans for most (if not all) of 2020, but I'd be surprised if the season didn't go forward, on time even. I think you'll see testing expanded, and used on players and staff before games. It's also possible that there is a medicine out there that could successfully be used off label while we wait on a vaccine.... Also read this morning that the NBA has a 25 day plan to come back.... At some point, the economy begins to matter, and college football is essential to most athletic department budgets. Without it, prepare to see a lot of schools, cut a lot of programs.

@Mavric and, what have we had to do to get to the peak?  We have shut everything down and preached social distancing.  If you all of a sudden open everything up, how does the virus continue to be contained?

There's a point of return. I think it's important to keep that in mind. 

In my estimation, 28-30 years - long enough for his son to guide us to a national championship and then said son will get into coaching, work his way up to take over for Papa after around 6-8 years of experience.

If either Bama, Clemson, or Wood River HC jobs open he will leave.

He leaves in 4 years to replace a retiring Urban Meyer at his dream job at Ohio State. Nebraska then replaces him with a roughly 70 year old and recently fired Herm Edwards coming off a 4-44 stint at Arizona State.

Maybe look into the numbers more.  I'm not sure, but maybe Riley "allowed" walk-ones as an afterthought when guys didn't sign, didn't end of qualifying, or didn't show up.  Frost is appearing to offer walk on spots as part of the planned roster

 I think having a strong walk-on program is a good thing but I don't understand the preoccupation with it. In the current environment and situation this program is in I would think that is the least of our worries. It was great to have those 4th stringers help push the guys ahead of them and to have the few grow into contributors but of much more concern right now is our 1st and 2nd string and recruiting for the future. Walk-ons aren't near as crucial to winning anymore imo. I hope half of what SF has said about it is just to placate some old timers.

Im pretty sure he will treat it more like TO did. Much more chance for guys to show up and try to make the team b/c he is going to have more kids on the squad. Heard something like 160-165.

Lol, + 1 for taking the pressure off me. I thought maybe I was not seeing what I was seeing. 

1. Bethune Cookman is on the schedule

2. The team is bound to come together for at least one Big Ten win

That's about all I can hope for after the past couple weeks.

I'll visit that feeling in December.  Right now I'm busy expecting to beat Purdue

FWIW I'll be the first to admit I haven't always been the best version of myself over there (not saying that's the case for you).

Logical, well thought out, and sourced discourse is always good. Drive by potshots that muddy the conversation add nothing to the threads. Opposing views backed with facts, logic, stats etc only help strengthen arguments.

Upset????

The fu......

@huKSer no, not at least...at most...and it was an unearned and undeserved half of a natty

@ZRod  We literally did own them, including Boulder

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nebraska_Territory

When gold was discovered in Colorado we didn't want that land part of Nebraska due to the type of people it would attract.  It explains a lot.

A new territory was formed from land that other territories did not want thus constraining all the gold digging jackholes in 1 place.  They called it Colorado  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colorado_Territory

The 6 losses were a necessary evil IMO.  Tough love is always more beneficial in the long run.

which board?

@RedNebraskan Post a link? I mostly see delusion so far. Not that they'll win the game (that's not delusional) but that Nebraska is some s#!tty bottom feeder B1G team. It's like they're screaming yelling "I can't hear you" and pretending Mike Riley is still our coach.

They’re still Nebby & always will be. Let’s not get too worried.

How dumb can you get?

@RedNebraskan Riley probably didn't want to mess with too many things at his age and stage in his career, and he probably managed the players like that at Oregon State and let the players be accountable to themselves.  In some years, that probably worked great.  In some years, it probably worked poorly.  That's how you get to be a career .500 coach.

I dont know the answer but one thing is for sure -- they're going to be stronger and more in shape than they ever have been and have the best team chemistry ever, too.  (I actually may believe that this year, hopefully not to my detriment)

It's possible Philipp was a good coach but the coaches above him refused to let him give any kind of punishment. E.g. the threat of reduced playing time or not starting.

I like it that they are writing in the CO papers "hatred for Nebraska" and "People who wear red hear about it."  We don't have this with Iowa or Wisky.

I mean, it was more heated and competitive for the last 20 years of our time in the Big 8/12 than Oklahoma was. 

Not a rivalry.

Nope.

He reminds me of a wrestling heel, which I always find amusing.  I don't remember him at all, so that also has something to do with it probably.

He was 3-9-1 against Nebraska. We kept them out of the 94' title game and that was his last season. CO was damn good that year beating 5 ranked teams, but not NEBRASKA

Yeah that was awful, dude is a 61yr old Stroke and Cancer survivor and a living legend.

This reinforces my theory that every time Nebraska gets national exposure for anything it makes us look awful. Lol

At least we aren’t “Florida Man” status?

As much as I'd like to say you are right, and it does kinda add up, I think UF is thinking Kelly is the premium canidate over Frost. Obviously we would prefer Frost for various and logical reasons but for a place like Florida you have to think Kelly was higher on their list. 

Did anyone else read this this morning? http://www.wowt.com/content/sports/Scott-Frost-is-Candidate-for-Florida-Head-Coach-457612353.html

It’s the first official announcement I’ve read. 

Makes me think that he told Florida that he wasn't interested, so they moved on to Plan B. If you can't get the young prodigy, go after the old master.

@teachercd Nah, if anything it will give her article that much more legitimacy and will lay the groundwork with the public as to why the firing was justified. 

Though to be honest, the timing is rather suspect, especially with the supposed derision between the Today Show staff and Megyn Kelly's show staff.

What's the George S. claim based on?

@VectorVictor, there's always going to exist an argument that "the timing is suspect". Perhaps it's time to realize that it is not. These things almost always seem to come out years later. And at some point, given the current climate, the answer to "why now?" should be "well, obviously, now."

Uggg, honestly this has been such a drag and seems so freaking long that I am not even excited for Saturday yet, I am like spent.  I know come Saturday it will be awesome but right now it just seems to DRAG.

I am going to report this...for posting about using drugs and for bad acting.

Agree with Tom on this. 247 Composite is the best overall ranking.

Except that it includes ESPN

I have us at #12 in my rankings, with a chance to move up to #1 if we can land one more 3-star prospect.

You have to submit 3 choices...and we get to vote.

Ha nice try

I vote for Ha.

Yeah it's gonna be a hell of a crowd, can't wait

They go on sale the first Wednesday of February and they're $10 per seat.

If you're a donor you get first crack at them.

Yes!  He was just on. I loved it that he wore UCF pin in one side and the red N on the other. (I also loved it that Scott shut down Chris Fowler when Fowler tried to get Scott to talk about how hard it was for him to leave UCF for Nebraska. Scott said something to the effect that this night was about those amazing guys-that amazing team. Good for you Scott!)

He was a hit with the Twitter-verse by wearing Yeezy’s with his suit. #3stripelife 

Recruits notice that stuff. He visited a kid in Missouri yesterday before heading to Atlanta and they talked about his shoes (Yeezy's) for a while. Said he was going to try to get them for the team.

ASU is going to be like watching a slow motion car crash.

I liked the part when he questioned the reporter from the Devils Digest, as if Herm had no clue Arizona State's nickname and mascot is the Sun Devils.

Jokes about Herm aside, Arizona State looks to be trying a very similar strategy that Eichorst had at Nebraska and the hire of Riley.  They are approaching it like the NFL, with head coach in a CEO role, and having duties doled out to the assistant coaches appropriately.  It didn't work in Lincoln, it will be interesting ASU can make it work.  I also saw that they basically paid $12 million to fire their old coach and bring in Edwards, while maintaining the entire assistant coaching staff.  So odd.

I like Dabo too.  He’s the kind of guy who is comfortable in his own skin and a heck of a coach. Very down to earth.  My husband would say he’s the kind of guy you could have a beer with. 

Bonus points for using the term "babyface". 

Nah. He sucks. He doesn't wanna share his millions with the players who make his money. Sensitive subject for him

Henrich, Berhart, Mills. 

Bookie, Narcisse and Bubba Starling

@Redux you forgot Owa

It was, then I ate an Abelardo's breakfast burrito.  

TBH, I'm just extremely sad that my daughter is getting screwed out of a football season during her last semester at UNL. Two out of three ain't bad.....unless we're talking Husker football.

And yes, I left an OOC beaut in there for y'all. 

I see it!  Crafty

I thought that was World of Warcraft

Hahaha!!!

Watch out for catfish

Kind of gives you an idea about where volleyball falls on the old pecking order at ESPN

I wish they'd give it a little more of a chance. E.g., they could have one flipping spot on their list of news stories that mentions that the national championship game is on ESPN2.

ESPN, it's not for everyone.
