  1. Great game.  Happy for them. Now can they go away forever now please???

  2. How do we watch the trophy presentation?

  3. So I see Adam Thielen as a "walk-on" for the Vikings.  Born and raised in Minnesota, played at a small college, and signed as an undrafted free agent.  The guy is an absolute stud and one of the top receivers in the NFL.

  4. Not to be a buzz kill at all, but the walkon numbers this year compared to the last 5 years really isnt shockingly different.  I dont understand why people are calling it a resurgance.  Maybe Im missing something...

      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.

  5. So how long do you think Frost stays here ?

      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.

  6. I want this volleyball game won more than any football game I watched this year.

  7. Is Frost going to be there to accept the award on espn tonight?

      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.

  8. When and where do the Spring game tickets go on sale?  How much are they usually?

      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.

  10. Feeling like a little kid again waiting to open presents on Christmas morn. GBR

  11. My God Tennessee.... Is this the worst dumpster fire in history besides Penn State?

    1. Xmas32

      I feel like there needs to be two categories.  Serious/horrible stuff where Penn State, SMU and the Marshall tragedy belong.  Category two could be 'Benny Hill' level incompetence where it's a dumpster fire but for the most part no one gets hurt (yes Schiano is collateral damage here but he's still a multi millionaire and to my knowledge he can go back to Ohio State).  This UT scenario is about as messed up as it gets.

      There's really not a logical link to draw between "dumpster fire coaching search" and "employed and shielded a child predator for decades".

      @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."

  14. How do people on here get so many plus one's in a day?  I can't figure it out.

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

  15. Man our fans are way nicer than UCF fans.

  16. Answer me this: UF pursues Frost, then backs off Frost and goes after Kelly. A clear sign that Nebraska made voices heard to SF?

      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.

  17. Today hopefully is as newsworthy as yesterday.

  18. I just noticed this little status update thing.  I'm a hardcore noob still I guess
