You can call it what you want but he didn't get sacked. By sending 3 guys out we should be able to get open once in a while. Morgan, DPE and Spielman have the talent 

Morgan and Spielman do. DPE is not a good wide receiver, never has been.

I heard that if we don't hire Scott Frost, every fan will stop attending gsmes so that the streak ends.  Because science.

 

Also, I once saw Scott Frost scissor kick Angela Landsbury.

I enjoy South Park, so of course I read that as "I once saw Scott Frost scissor Angela Landsbury"

Sure keep him we need someone to fill in as head coach after we lose 59-6 to tOSU 

59-6 is a 6 point improvement my friend.  Program on the uptick right there.

I fully agree with your point about supporting the kids however. No matter the coach, or if they stink, I will still support them until the end. They deserve it no matter what.

Right, with 5 star players in a weak conference. Dabo was on the hot seat for some time and it took him a decade to get it going while also always having top shelf talent. Maybe not the number one class but top 10-15 consistently and his top shelf players were elite. Facts.

This is his 9th year this year, won a NC in his 8th. That is still less than a decade right this moment.  Facts. 

Texas. Real, honest hatred there. Wisconsin is eh, annoying but we just suck.

Texas always seemed to get lucky breaks and be a thorn that was always there. Wisky just murders us.

I still don't feel like it is normal for NU to be in the Big Ten.

Let's be real: it doesn't matter in the slightest who the starting RB is, here. Our ground game consists of lining up tight and running it inside, and that's basically it. Somehow, we've ended up in a bizarre parallel world where outside runs do not exist for the Huskers.

So that must explain why our D still cannot stop outside runs, because they have never seen them before in practice!

MR and langsdorf combined have the imagination of a 75 year old prostitute.  

If someone has been a prostitute for that long, they probably have every trick in the book.

If he learned from Riley, why doesn't Paul Chryst suck?

Good students take what they learn,  expand upon it,  and grow on their own.  They also surround themselves with good people and let them do their jobs. 

Being good, and being ranked #1 are different things. Only OSU has been #1 in the B1G this millenium.

You have to have the athleticism to "refuse to lose"-and the coaching.

 

We have neither, hence lose.

That is part of it sure, but having that attitude is a big piece of it too. Confidence and a mental edge is incredibly underrated in sports.  Everyone looks for only tangible answers in games that human beings play when there are many more factors at work.

Understand most will feel that way, but this guy can do so much with so much less than others.  I think he can recruit pretty good talent though.

I think we heard the "does more with less" bit previously about someone else around here...

I know, I know...you all think that Horse Face is coming back...

 

He isn't...he is old.  Your team is done and won't win again for 25 years.  Sorry!

I suppose you are a Pats fans? That McDaniels comment makes much more sense now.

Josh M would be about as amazing hire as you could get.  But I don't see it happening.  

I am a Broncos fan, and I almost threw up reading that.

College football has shown many ways to win, and the one common denominator is that teams that win consistently execute whatever they do well.

This is 100% the answer. Do something and execute it so well that it works. Nebraska used to do this, running the ball sure, but it was about being really, really good at it. Everyone knew it, but it was done anyway.

We do not need Memorial Stadium to be black.  We need our quarterback to not throw interceptions and our coaching staff to not get outcoached by their opponents.  Then we may win. 

That's illogical and irrelevant, black shirts are clearly the key...

Best of luck to you all too! I will be heading in from Denver for the first time in a couple years. I am pulling for a close game, which should make the old place rock.  Night games are the best. The B1G tradition of 10 AM (MST) games is a bummer,  no time to get riled up! I have way too much time for yard work after those. ..

Let's not forget that the two years before they went winless they were 12-1 and 9-4.  So the cupboard did not seem to be all that bare.  O'Leary might have just mailed it in during his last season.  Frost might be the answer, but for once let's actually have some due diligence in this process for AD and any potential new coach.

I still want to see a win over Wisconsin at night and this ship righted from now on, that is the best case scenario.  Mainly because I will be in attendance on Saturday night.

Because that model has not proven that it can win a NC and no matter how low we are right now as we climb the ladder with MR or whoever is the coach we as fan's all know that anything short of making the playoffs and/or competing for NC's on more than one occasion per decade is not good enough

We can all keep saying that all we want but winning multiple conference titles and having consistent top 15 finishes over a decade span would be perfectly acceptable in my eyes. 

I believe college football is largely based on emotion and confidence, assuming no cavernous gaps in coaching or talent. A solid road win gives a confidence boost going into this week. If they can get off to a good start next Saturday, at night, get the crowd into it, who knows what could happen.

I will be headed to Lincoln from Denver next week and hope the atmosphere is worth it.

We've only played Ohio State 3 times if you don't count the two times before 1960...

 

Bo did get blown out in Columbus, but he didn't get 63-3 blown out.

 

I wasn't even that big of fan of Bo, but quite honestly, I kind of miss him. This new staff is embarrassing. It's more of a conversation piece to talk about how bad the Huskers are and talk to my friends about how good Iowa looks this year.

 

 

It was only 62-3, c'mon man!

So clearly I agree with the ground and pound, haha.

I think it is great you are suggesting ground and pound with a handle like speedtoburn
