WyoHusker56

Not worried about him being kicked off a team once. If I was being judged now at 26 for the stupid crap I did at 18/19 I probably wouldn't have the job I have now. I imagine many can say the same. Guys can mature and he didn't appear to have any troubles at his CC. Freshman mistakes shouldn't follow you forever if you make the effort to change. If he continued to have legal or other issues sure, but seems like he's kept his head on since.

I'm too young to realistically remember any of these guys playing. I was 9 during the 2001 NC game, so don't remember Crouch. I've definitely watched highlights, but I'd like to live through some real Husker glory days soon!

On a somewhat related note. If this wasn't Frost's first year and we weren't in rebuilding mode, the schedule this year would be perfect for a playoff run. If you went undefeated or even 12-1 or 11-2 (including the conference championship) with our schedule this year it'd be hard to keep us out!

Considering the recruiting transgressions at places like Ole Miss, the Nike stuff in college basketball and all the other serious violations at other schools, this is pretty minor. They gave away too many tickets, didn't report it correctly and gave a few "possibly" unfair reduced price tickets to staff. Honestly, the biggest thing I got out of the articles is their may be some tax implications that weren't reported well. Inflating the attendance numbers is reaching for straws in my opinion, like was mentioned above if exact attendance were counted NU wouldn't have the streak. Doesn't seem like any sort of embezzlement or "missing funds" are being reported and those are true fiscal mismanagement issues.

I was thinking there might be more context to that quote as well! I don't see Frost praising the fans like he has then turning around and scolding them, just seems odd.

Anyone read this yet? Coach's comments are a bit interesting. https://www.cornnation.com/2018/4/24/17274680/editorial-scott-frost-unifying-around-a-purpose-of-rehashing-the-perlman-osborne-conflict

Maybe this is obvious and I don't see it, but why leave the team now and not after spring? He said he is finishing the semester at NU, so might as well stay on the team and get whatever training and conditioning you can right? It's not like they were just going to have him sit on the bench for the rest of spring practices.

How fun would it be if Frost put in a trap play just to throw it out once in a while at home. Stadium would go nuts!

Not sure I've seen anyone post this note from an article yesterday. It's great to hear that Osborne is has a near daily presence at practice this spring. His presence can only help! http://journalstar.com/sports/huskers/football/red-report-defense-not-the-defense-we-heard-about-blackshirts/article_fca99277-da0f-5b1b-87ac-b49d1a36266a.html

Another streaming option to toss in, Playstation Vue. Their Core plan will get you all ESPN channels, BTN, and all Fox channels. I'm in Montana, but never miss a game with that! You just have to make sure you get your local affiliates which I do through an antenna.

That's a 675 pound squat. That's pretty impressive! Edit: Compare that to the 550 pound squat that people were excited about with Bryson Williams at Wiscy. Granted he's a frosh, but adding 125 pounds to your squat at that weight isn't easy!

It seems like for as long as I can remember (mid 2000s, i'm only 25) the Huskers have started slow and been lethargic in the Saturday morning game slot. Maybe morning practices having kids used to being awake and moving will help knock off some of that!

Tre Bryant makes me think of Boobie Miles (Friday Night Lights), except he made it to college, etc. Really good talent, but knee injuries keep him from being successful. Hope he can get healed up!

That's if Taggart is still at the same school next year...

I guess I get it with all the uncertainty. I think we could finish 3rd or 4th just based on talent and more competent coaches though. I am not sure if my heart could handle finishing below Purdue again...

Hoping for a bit less generic name. Can I change mine to "WyoHusker56" please? Thanks!

As one of those young Husker fans (born in '92) I appreciate the insight!

Seems to keep his eyes downfield as he is scrambling. That's great!

NCAA FAQ It does only require equal scholarships, not necessarily equal number of players. However, if you look at the "Other Benefits" section you have to have equal access to "recruitment of student-athletes." Obviously walk-ons are recruited and this is open to interpretation so I imagine that is where the concern comes in. They have to make sure the walk-on program is applied equally across the board in resources spent on it.

The other thing to consider is the toll head injuries are taking on the sport and the amount of kids that are choosing to walk away from football. That wasn't the case back int he 90s, every kid wanted to play football in college. I think there are more and more kids saying I didn't get a big time scholarship maybe it's time to hang up the cleats instead of walking on. I know several guys who went and played NAIA and FCS levels. Almost all of them regretted it because they had next to no chance to move on, it took up almost all their time, they had opportunities for non-athletic scholarships they turned down and it took a big toll on their bodies. I think there may be more top athletes who also excel in the classroom walking away from football.

Man I could listen to HCSF all day. Wish I could go play for him, he's so authentic! Jim Rome is a great listen too.

I do remember Oregon having smaller faster tackles, but I think this staff offered a JUCO OT that is like 6-7, 300+ on their first night. That's a huge dude, so HCSF may have evolved the OL a bit since his Oregon days.

Not sure if anyone has mentioned this, but it doesn't seem like the staff is prioritizing QBs in their offers. They did offer Martinez, but I think you offer a guy of his caliber regardless of what is on the existing roster. So far they haven't offered a JUCO QB or any other freshman, so maybe they feel good with what is on the roster already.

It's interesting reading these articles, ESPN has this one, OWH put one out, I think LJS had something similar. I also just listened this this radio bit on his last week: https://969thegame.iheart.com/featured/beat-of-sports/content/2017-12-04-the-last-week-for-scott-frost-at-ucf/. They all talk about how torn SF was, how hard of a decision, etc and I believe that he really did have a hard time leaving and really enjoyed Orlando and UCF. However, I work in the marketing/PR world and the fact that all these stories are so similar and coming out at the same time makes me think there is some PR work going on to soften the blow at UCF some. The only reason SF would do that is because he cares and wants people to know that he really was torn, but it seems to me like people are pushing this story hard.
