  1. If the Tennessee fans got Schiano out in a matter of days, I'm sure they can do the same with AD Currie. At this point the fans shouldn't have to protest for this, his a$$ should be gone for the bang up job he's done lately.
  2. Touche Cdog. Thanks for bringing me back to earth
  3. I've been trolled! Dilly Dilly! But for real.. “First, we’re all assuming he’s going to take the job, but then I hear rumors that he’s going to take the Florida State job,” said Herbstreit I mean if he's just openly talking to Land of 10 on an open media tour I don't know why he would bring that up. I don't know if there's any truth to the FL State possibility but that has to be a little concerning.. Or maybe it truly is just media trying to make noise right now.
  4. https://www.landof10.com/nebraska/nebraska-football-scott-frost-kirk-herbstreit-espn So Herbie here has been king of flip flop and back tracking. Just in the past 2-3 weeks, when the Florida job was still open Herbstreit was saying there is NO WAY Frost leaves the state of Florida for the Nebraska job with the Florida job being a much better place to coach and an easier place to recruit. He thought that Frost was a lock to Florida. *Insert Dan Mullen as the Florida HC* He then says what a story it would be to have Frost back in Lincoln. He would be really good at NU and could bring Nebraska back to the national spotlight. He would go on to say how he would hope that happens and he believes Frost's with his connections to recruit FL would get the speed he needs. Now, the second there is a possibility of another big time job opening he starts saying Frost to Florida State.. Doubting the ability to recruit to Nebraska, doubting Frosts plan at NU, doubting the current roster and the ability to get the players Frost needs... Is it me or does ole D-bag Herbstreit have something against Nebraska? Does he not want to see another Big 10 school competing with his Buckeyes? Or is he just trying to make something out of nothing since everything has been relatively quiet on the Frost front? Any thoughts or ideas on this rumor as well?
  5. You're welcomes, unl1234.. Maybe Scott Frosts will bring Davidson on board his new staff at Nebraskas
  6. Hahaha the ladies have slightly different rules than the guys and yes we've played this game every weekend (we start at halftime of the early games since we're on Pacific time)! There are like 10-15 more and all of the one's that have "shot" next to them we change to "drink" after a while because we definitely wouldn't survive. But hey, what my brain can't remember means it didn't really happen. I'm just trying to flirt with that fine line of completely hammered and passing out for the next 11-12 days so I can forget the MR era ever happened..
  7. To make this Husker season a little more interesting, my family and I have come up with a drinking game! At least the booze sooth some of the pain.. or people pass out by half time and forget what happened. Feel free to join in and post some of your super sh!t faced pic on this thread! Here's the rules: Any play of 20+ yards, Drink! Any play of 20+ yards and a TD, Shot! Any Special Teams TD, Shot! Any Pick 6 or fumble returned for TD, Shot! Anytime the other team scores, Drink! Any First Down for the other team, Drink! Anytime Nebraska gets stopped in the redzone, Drink! Anytime we run with the FB on 4th and 1, Shot! Anytime we fail to convert on 3rd down, Drink! Anytime we screw up a screen pass, Shot! Anytime we drop a catch-able ball, Drink! Anytime we miss a block, miss a tackle, miss an assignment, miss a FG... Anytime we miss anything... Drink! I can send the rest to you all upon request but this should help you make it through the weekend! Oh and final score.... 56-12
  8. Well it's officially down to Ohio St and Auburn.. Our lovely coaching situation scared him away. Can we remove Nebraska from the poll? lol
  9. It's as dead as Riley's deal at the end of the year! I think we will have a hat on the table when he decides on Dec 20th but in my opinion it's really a Penn St and Oklahoma race now.
  10. While no one would turn that record or winning away there’s no promise that’ll happen at Nebraska. Google Rich Rodriguez... similar offenses, not identical but similar styles. Rich Rod did big things at WVU and even at Arizona but that trip to Michigan was a rough ride. Its all about the fit of the coach for a program and the conference. What works in the pac12 or big12 may not work here.
  11. lol yeah yeah I know.. as I mentioned earlier, I want his defensive mind out there.. He had superb defenses at LSU not so much on offense.. So I'm hiring him to shut up about offense and coach me a mean a$$ defense that allows 10 points a game and puts 4-5 players in the draft each year Yeah for this rant of a thread.. clearly.. I'd say 71 pages of this thread are made up bs about Frost becoming our HC or what if this, what if that... So yes my comments about me becoming head coach then hiring Miles and Moorhead as coordinators and saying that it's possible for me to do that because if Mike Riley can coach Nebraska then hell why not me too... Yup all made up fun and games and sorry you don't find me funny. I can be quite the hoot
  12. Red, I have seen maybe 4 of your posts today and all of them are pretty cynical, negative and taking this wayyyy to serious..... but allow me to clarify... Everyone as in his wife, friends, people on his coaching staff, etc. So allow me to correct myself, "everyone close to Riley told him..." better?
  13. Valid point... I'm pretty sure SE closed his eyes, took a pin and stuck it in a map then said "Corvallis Oregon, whoever is coaching there is who we hire! Damn I'm good at my job"
  14. Everyone told Mike Riley he was wasting his time interviewing at Nebraska and we'd never hire him... But here he freakin' is... for now
  15. I like the idea you have but that's a lot of what if's... I do think Frost could end up here at some point in his career but since we're having a hypothetical conversation... What if Frost goes 3-9, 4-8 in his first 2 years at Florida.. Still want him at Nebraska if he is a complete failure there?
  16. Please read the entire thread... But a quick rundown.. 1) I think we have better long term options at the moment (Moorhead, Frost, Campbell, Venables, etc) 2) Chip would be here 2 years max and wouldn't value being here, only wants the money (envision Bill Callahan) 3) Shaky past with the NCAA - be it a minor thing and wasn't too harsh for the school but if he does it again I bet the penalties would increase exponentially Sure, I'd want Chip over Riley.. I'd want drunk ole Steve Sarkesian and only the drunk version of Sark over Riley at this point but there are better long term options
  17. They were recruiting violations on his behalf. So while it wasn't him directly he was responsible for the money given out and the things bought that were provided to recruits. I'm pretty sure he was smart enough to not be directly tied to the violations (unlike Rick Pitino at Louisville). In all honesty his violations weren't super severe and only lost 1 scholarship per year for 3 years and he couldn't coach in college for 18 months. (I believe) I just don't think he'd value the position at Nebraska. Who knows, he could love it here and bring us great success but I wouldn't have him as my top option.. as i mentioned, i'd have him at 5th or 6th on the list
  18. Chip would use and abuse us if he came here. He would show he can coach and after 2 years take his talents back to the pac-12 or maybe big-12 and leave us with recruiting violations and NCAA sanctions. Coaching wise he is great and could make us relevant but I don't think he is a long term solution.. I know we're all chomping at the bit to win and win now but I'd be willing to pass on chip and see if Frost, Joe Moorhead, Venables or Campbell would be options first
  19. All of which are better options than ole Chip... We are basically running our team like its a zoo anyways... A really nice, super soft zoo
  20. What he means is there are other schools willing to PAY him more money to sign with them than Nebraska will... I could be right but it's total speculation. He could mean getting him ready for the NFL or he could mean getting paid now AND getting ready for the NFL
  21. Oku played 2 years as a Tenn Vol then transferred to Arkansas St. He is now playing in Europe Robinson was signed as an un-drafted FA and played 5 seasons in the NFL. He retired this last off-season. In college, he started every game as a soph and jr before going pro.
  22. Not to nit-pick but I'm the head coach and I do what I want! He had great defenses and that's what I'm hiring him for. Plus, I'm pretty sure he got fired for his lack of adaptability and consistently inept production on the offensive side of the ball.
  23. Shoot.. give me 100k and I'll be our next coach. I'd use the other 5.9 million to hire Les Miles as my DC and Joe Moorhead as the OC and HC in waiting. Highest paid coordinators in the land and they'd call me a self sacrificing genius for taking such a low salary.
  24. Well I checked it out on a Rivals search and cant find exactly which players they're talking about but we've had 10 4 stars come from Nebraska since 2006 and of those 10 only 2 went to schools other than Nebraska. 2008 OL Trevor Robinson - Notre Dame 2009 RB David Oku - Tennessee
