Dogs In A Pile

Seems about right to me.

Scott Frost has coached at 2 colleges. He now has a winning record of 48.6%. Before last season it was 53.4%. Just some more useless info.

Saw N2FL over at the other board said.

Yes. Those darn unreasonable fans with unrealistic expectations who wanted, maybe, at least one .500 season in HCSF's 4 year tenure. They should have been happy with the 3 wins they got but they always are wanting more, more, more. /s

Pretty sage advise for any player coming back from a serious injury IMHO. Hope for the best but ........

That would be some pretty insane speed at OLB.

Good size, good offer list, looks fast with good moves in his highlights. What's not to like? Favorite thing for us old school Husker fans - The very first play on his highlight reel is him pancaking a DB ten yards from the LOS. Oh yeah! https://nebraska.rivals.com/news/five-quick-thoughts-wr-doss-commitment

6-6 will be plenty to keep him around and keep a lot of the fan base happy for another year or two.

I wish there was a "I have absolutely no idea" choice on the list. Because I have absolutely no idea.

At this point in his career I'd hesitate to call him a "very good" receiver. Outside of one game last year he has been a minor contributor. 2019: 3 catches for 33 yards 2020: 4 catches for 56 yards and 1 TD 2021: 18 catches for 277 yards and 2 TDs (5 for 100 and 2 TDs were in one game against Kansas). In 3 years he's made 25 catches for 366 yards & 3 TD's.

Based on what we've seen the last four years there is at least one loss lurking in those games.

I've wondered the same thing myself. Go 6-6 or better and I think it is automatic that he is retained. But if he goes 5-7 with signature win(s) over OU and/or Mich would it be enough? I don't know but I wouldn't rule it out. I hope we don't get to that point but going into this season it would surprise me if they ended 9-3, 3-9 or anywhere in between.

The only real disappointment out of all of those is the OU game being an 11:00 KO. NW is morning KO too but with the time zone difference that is pretty much expected.

Like 3 of the last 4 years which is still mind blowing that we haven't even match up with Purdue.

I think the first month will be hugely important in maintaining the sellout as well as HCSF's future. If they can beat NW like they did last year and follow up with strong wins against the FCS & Sun Belt teams there will be a lot of buzz for the OU game in Lincoln. If somehow they could pull off a win against OU the place will go nuts and I have to believe the streak will be kept alive. It could happen. Last year you take away the 2 missed FG & extra point returned for 2 by OU and you have a 9 point swing in a game we only lost by 7 points. I have to believe if that can happen it will carry through the rest of the season. On the other hand if the lose any of the first 3 games or look mediocre then get beat by OU the outlook for 2022 is not very bright. In other words, just win.

It's not beyond the realm of possibility that these two could be the most influential additions we've made in the entire off season. They have a pretty low bar set by their predictors but if each could excel it could be the difference in several games.

Four years of abject failure under a head coach will tend to do that. The worst teams and record for Husker Football in the lifetimes of most Husker fans doesn't lend itself to having much confidence in the future.

That's a pretty eye opening stat. Two and a half decades ago I would have looked forward to a match-up with OSU almost every year but now I'd be happy if we could take few years off from playing them and maybe substitute a team like Maryland.

From Hail Varsity. A pretty damning commentary if it is true. https://hailvarsity.com/football-recruiting/big-red-recon-business-picking-up-for-huskers-as-important-official-visits-get-set/

I wouldn't mind seeing this come about. And I'd to see the rest of the games get evenly rotated for all B1G teams so we don't end up playing OSU 8 of the next 11 years like we have for the first 11 years in the conference.

Not much of a surprise and realistically why would the #1 player in the nation go to a perennial cellar dweller like NU has become even with the legacy factor figured in.

Thanks. I think Rich Strike @ 80-1 had a better chance of winning the derby than NU has of winning 10.

Not being a gambler can one of you high rollers explain to me like I'm 5 what the "-140", "+120" & "+500" actually means?
