Till we can't be beat

I'm pretty sure Manning will still be out there.  Sounds like it's really a confidence thing as much as anything.  He does some really good things but if he makes one mistake it kind of gets in his head and he makes more.  So the thinking is they'll have some specific packages for him where he can hopefully get some things rolling and go from there.

I know people will be frustrated with Manning if he's limited or makes mistakes, but I don't think people realize how deep routed this sort of thing can be mentally. There's more than one freak athlete who couldn't overcome mental hurdles to live up to their potential. I'm hoping they get him some catches and really build his confidence up for the season. 

I have YouTube TV and I have watched stuff on the Fox Sports app a bunch in the past. My guess is you should be able to go that route. It drives me nuts when they do this stuff. 

Looks like everyone answered your radio question so I'll just throw out some ideas if you want to try and watch it on your phone. 

Sign up for a free trial of something like YouTube TV or HULU plus live TV, I think both offer a 7 day free trial. You can download the app and watch the game on your phone that way. Then cancel it after the game!

Mitch has really sunk pretty low in my opinion over the past few months, but that's a pretty innocuous comment from Sam. 

That's fair I probably read too much into it. Honestly, watching the whole thing though Frost seems fine and focused until they get to the covid testing/vaccination stuff and they kept pestering him after he said he thinks it's private for the kids. That's where he seems to get irritated and then cut it off quickly after that.

Everyone I have seen has just commented on how Frost was abrupt today; no editorializing past that. I was wondering if I was missing some reaction by someone beyond that. 

No surprise from Mitch Sherman, but he said something about it could be "something or nothing." Sam said it was "brisk and blunt." I saw someone else say something about it being a "frosty" interview. Then the comments one everything are full of people fighting about what it means. All the comments from media I have seen make it into more of something than I thought it was. People being mad and fighting is just referring to random internet fans.

Who in the media is mad, though? 

Mad probably isn't the right way to characterize it, but they all want to make it out to be some big thing.

Who is mad?

Media and I've seen lots of other comments online. Not necessarily this board though I'm sure there's some.

I'm not defending Scott and I'm thinking I'm in the minority on this one, but I would personally definitely trade a likely beating on national TV for a win against a powder puff to get us one more in the 'W' column.

 

The key word there is "likely." We could win that game but almost certainly won't.

 

I believe it makes more sense than people think.

I'm in the same camp I really never had a major issue with it. Many people on here have said this and Frost knows it too that NU really needs to start the season strong. Our schedule was a conference game against Illinois, Buffalo (who looked very strong earlier this year) and then at Oklahoma and Michigan State. Not only did we only have one early season recruiting opportunity, but that's a brute of a start to the year before going into a tough conference schedule. If there was an opportunity to add more home games and teams that are easier to beat so this team can gel why is that a bad thing? Sure you can argue it looks like you're scared and whatever, but there are a lot more reasons it makes sense than not.

Well.. yeah. Leaks don't come from happy campers, and this is so minor that is can't be someone who just feels morally obligated to get it out there. 

I mean sometimes schools intentionally leak stuff. That's basically how Sipple makes a living he's their "leak" mouth piece. But ya in general leaks like this are from unhappy people. 

This is all starting to feel more and more like someone or some group of people inside the athletic administration are unhappy with Frost and Alberts and are leaking things. I mean to drum up the OU stuff again right before the first game just screams conspiracy. The NCAA investigation has likely been going on for months and it gets leaked right before the game. Someone is unhappy and they are doing this on purpose.

Wouldn't basically anyone talking to investigators want an attorney in the room with them? Genuinely asking; I have no idea. Just doesn't seem as if it'd be uncommon to want a lawyer in a situation like this, regardless of guilt or severity. 

This is my thought. No matter what your being questioned for you want a lawyer. They are there to tell you when you don't have to answer questions etc. It's way too easy to accidentally incriminate yourself with confusing legal jargon. 

This would seem to suggest the only thing that is under investigation is the improper analyst use and explains why Frost said the workouts were legal. Being investigated (or self reporting) improper analyst use is a pretty minor deal in the world of NCAA scandals.

Exactly.  Maybe he was there to offer support.  Or maybe something unrelated entirely.   

Ya let's not act like Ronnie is just finding out about this today. I believe they said Nebraska is self reporting to the NCAA and I am sure this has been in the works for a while. It just got leaked to the media today and we're still in off season mode so the local guys are running with it.

So WTF do we think this is again? Some kind of action or story about how football almost didn't happen last year?

 

Is that roughly it?

I get the impression it's supposed to be the inside story of what happened in the weeks between the B1G cancelling football, saying it won't be revisited and then the sudden about face and a season happening. 

There are some interesting storylines in there like the NU players lawsuit, that other lawyer doing tons of FOA requests, tOSU parents protest, etc. I think most people assume something wasn't up to snuff or was being covered up and the B1G gave in to playing to stop all the requests into it. There's probably an interesting story in there, but a long article would suffice.

That needs to be a catch.  That's what the coaches have said was going to be an emphasis in camp for the wr/te...contested catches.  That was definitely a catchable ball.  Good coverage though.  No flags, play on.

I don't disagree, in the season we need that to be a catch. I'm going to give credit to Johnson too though because he punches the ball right through Omar's hands which would be hard to hang on to. If he didn't get a PI call it'd be a pretty impressive defensive play. 

Hmm going into NIL stuff maybe?

Who was the third team to vote for a season last year?

I remember there being some reports around Iowa wanting to play, but then I've heard it was just tOSU and NU so not sure.

We had approximately zero guys who could run a route and make a catch like that last year. I just drank a cup of koolaid.

My question is how does he enroll in college when he hasn't started his senior year of high school. Has he already earned a HS diploma. How does all that work. 

Maybe he can get his GED? Or maybe he is finishing high school online while also enrolled in college and can practice? No idea. 

I liked the we have to go out and prove things we haven't done enough of that talk. Hopefully they team takes on a we need to prove ourselves attitude. That'd be good.

Thank you for restating my first sentence.

Haha fair enough!

And that’s the thing…Frost could say whatever he wanted if we were winning and nobody would care. Until then I just wish he would give short, curt, coach speak answers about what went wrong instead of giving overly honest assessments. Just say “we have to do better” to the media and get on the players in private. That won’t go over well either but at least it won’t be a parade of excuses.

 

Maybe it’s just me running out of patience 

Then the board would be up in arms about how Frost won't share anything, he doesn't know what's going on, it's just coach speak, why won't he be honest, etc. There is nothing Frost could say that would be a win for him right now. He'll be attacked regardless.

Funny, I saw it just recently.

 

Deontai Williams says NU's decision to skip bowl was culture issue that needs to be fixed

 

 

Didn't I see or hear somewhere that the players who voted to skip the bowl have sense left the program anyways? Maybe I made that up, but if it's true that would be the culture working itself out.
