Thurston from Pender

Can you believe this trash talk from those sweater vest wearing chumps?

I walk into the Fire Barn in Waterloo last night at 8. They have about 40 TVs. Not a single one tuned into the Gopher game. Many TVs set to soccer and hockey. Zero interest in Nebraska basketball. Uncle Moose will figure that out real quick. Yeah big crowd at PBA, but that’s it.

Tommie in Creighton blue? Beyond the Pale! Sadly I expect a 20 point beatdown in front of those sweatvest wearing beer drinkers. I expect a 29 point beatdown. Why didn’t Miles recruit Mike Daum?

Tyrone i like your math!

Miles better hope the AD didn’t watch today’s game at MSU.

Scott was beyond brilliant in the news conference today. He hit the right notes and tone. This year is also the 150th year of statehood. A great year indeed.

Can we set up a welcoming committee at the airport?

Orlando news guy said on 1620 that UCF assistants have cleaned out their desks.

Yeah, that Creighton idiot should have named Illinois.

Saw this on the Creighton message board. Comments?

Who are the six being considered? 1. Scott Frost. 2. Chip Kelly as the presser was before his hiring by UCLA. 3. Mike Leach? 4. Matt Campbell?

Uncle Moose has this timed for the 6 pm evening news and Sunday paper deadline. Bank-er on it.

Riley will be gone by noon on Saturday. Frost will be hired within 10 days.

Mods: Please leave this thread here. No one will see it in the basketball forum. The point here is that the ROT created by the former AD is massive and many changes need to be made soon. Miles, for sure, and maybe the women’s basketball coach. I say bring back Yori.

Agree. I am not looking forward to again being disgraced by Creighton. Ben Jacobsen at Northern Iowa is a proven winner with deep ties to Iowa HS basketbal. Other good candidates out there too.

Gage County: Do you have anything to say other than insults?

Landlord: Speak English. The Nebraska Constitution states that English is the official language of the state. Nebraska rules on this blog even if you live in Chicagoland.

Men: It is no secret that this is my final game as your head coach here at Nebraska. Not only is it my final game here, it probably ends my career in football. Since I was your age, my entire work life has been football and I have loved nearly every minute of it. I’ve had my ups and downs, but the downs have been few. And the pay and perks have been great. I asked myself what would motivate this team. Hatred for the bordering state of Iowa is foolishness. Trying to win the vaunted Hy-Vee Heroes Trophy has no appeal to you. That’s all fake. The grocery store paid big bucks for the commercial access to us and we gladly took their money to feed the financial beast that is the athletic department. I could also do the old “win one for the Gipper” speech by Knute Rockne. We had our own George Gipp with Sam Foltz. We honored Sam’s memory last year. Today one thing I want you to keep in mind is that tomorrow is promised to no one. Sam was driving home to his beloved Nebraska when he was killed in a car wreck. So today I urge you to play with all of your heart and leave nothing on the field. Any one of us could die tomorrow. Give it your best effort. In the words of A.E. Housman, “And early though the laurel grows/ It withers quicker than the rose.” Given my many years coaching football I have learned motivation comes from within. So, to borrow a phrase, “Greed, for lack of a better word, is good.” Play for yourselves. Play for your teammates. Play for your families. Be greedy out there. I came to Nebraska out of my own self-interest. I was paid a fortune. I moved to Lincoln with the best intentions but it didn’t work out. But I won’t be wondering where my next meal comes from on Saturday. As you go through life, think about what’s personally best for you and your family. Today your self-interest lies with beating Iowa. Let’s do it as a team.

For $35 million, Frost better get to Lincoln immediately after the conference championship game. I think Uncle Moose seperates Riley on Monday but keeps the assistants for recruiting. Maybe pay a retention bonus.

The most likely scenario is that Uncle Moose fires Riley on the Monday after the game. SI reports that UNL has a deal with Scott Frost. Is Frost then announced as the new head coach? Or does he finish the season at UCF? Or does UNL go without a coaching staff until UCF finishes the season? What about recruiting after Friday?

Maybe the biggest defeat in Husker history. PSU hangs 70 plus on Diaco. Horrific. People will be aghast. And old Sandusky will be cheering for his team from the state pen. Puke! A legacy of criminality at Penn State.

Terrible game last night. 28% from the field. I’m very concerned about this season.

Nice catch Matt.

Turner Gill. Joe Mogilia.

Paces to go before and after the game? Parking spots? And can we crash your tailgate?
