    It's been fun, but I'm ready for it to end. I'm on Eastern time, and staying up late to discuss the previous day's result and plan tomorrow's strategy plus having a new puppy that likes to get up right at the crack of dawn has been rough on my sleep routine, lol.

    The real question is what kind of puppy?

  2. I’d think the coordinators would want to be up in the box where they have the best view of the field. Anyone who has ever watched film can tell you how much more you pick up when your up high. And if the coordinators aren’t in the box then you need someone who knows your side of the ball extremely well as you rely on their input a lot 

  3. Idk if anyone has said this or not, but there is no way Adrians attitude this year won’t be different than it was last year. He’ll come back more focused and driven, and probably the healthiest he’s been since he got here since his body will have had a ton of time to rest and recover. Last year he was considered a big deal and was in the talking of a heisman trophy caliber season. That’s a ton of expectation on a true sophomore. And then when the team around him was so shaky, especially his offensive line, he was bound to struggle. He’s been through a lot more now and should have the mental maturity to come in focused and ready to lead. It’s easy to forget that as a freshman nobody looked to him to be the true team leader as Farmer and other guys like that were there and we’re excited about what the future has in store. We missed that last year, hell we didn’t have any real leadership or team chemistry. I expect that to be different this year

  4. I voted Wisconsin. The last two years we were in position to beat Iowa and just didn’t quite get it done. I thinking us passing them soon is expected and shows that our trajectory is right around we’re anyone who didn’t think we’d go undefeated in year 2 honestly thinks it probably should be. However beating Wisconsin is a much greater task and would really boost our program. 

  5. Right now we take as many quality offensive linemen as we can. It’s been stated on here many times that the offensive line is probably the one position you have to have depth because it takes along time for the players bodies to get ready to play. Pretty much any team who is consistently successful has a high quality offensive line. A good online can make your average back look good and you good backs look great. Plus it goes along way for your qb if he knows he’s not going to be running for his life more often than not

    a lot of the times being a udfa is better than being a 7th round pick. It means a team wasn’t able to fill all it’s hole and now they can go attempt to get what they feel is the best available player at a position of need. Lots of guys have success after going undrafted

    looking at the map...maybe the B1G should all consolidate and wipe the rest of the map out.

    Except for Wisconsin, we can exile them too!

    What exactly is the chaos?

  8. I joined last night, and was unable to figure out what the majority of people wanted to do so I just chose to attack Wisconsin. Any idea how to better find what the strategy people want so I'm not going rogue all the time?

    They've been doing the same nit-picky, third rate b.s. to husker football for twenty years.. with steady decline as the result.  It needs to be gutted by a proven Big Ten coaching staff and put forward, plain and simple.

    Kinda like Minnesota did with Fleck, with his Big Ten pedigree or like Wisconsin did with Paul Chryst and all of his Big Ten coaching experience before getting that gig. Or better yet like Penn State did with Franklin because he spent so much time in the Big Ten over his career. 
     

    C’mon man, nothing is saying that Frost isn’t worthy of being a Big Ten Coach. If anything at this point in his career he has proven more then those others had. Paul Chryst took over an established program and Franklin took over at Penn State after the previous coach navigated the Joe Pa incident and did so very well. Minnesota is the closest comparison to our program but it took Fleck a few years to get it running and he didn’t have near the attrition issues that Frost has had. I’m not saying Frost will for sure but it usually takes 5 years to truly transform a program. Firing Frost would just pour gas on the program and turn it into a full fledged dumpster fire!

    That's what is so amazing to me......After 3 losing seasons (Riley and Frost) he is still pulling in some great classes.  I can't help but think once we start winning that they can't do anything but get better.

     

    I totally agree, and I think he is the answer, but anyone who thinks his seat should be getting pretty hot is focusing solely on the wins and losses and not seeing the improvement through the vast difficulties we’ve had
