I disagree. Do you think Frost wants to be the coach who punishes for past indiscretions which occurred prior to a player being on campus? Iowa and Wisky coaches would have a hay day negatively recruiting against us for that. All the bad press and likely embarrassment Mo has gotten from the California thing is punishment enough IMO.

Debatable at best. I’m not going to waste time arguing about that.

We’ll of course if he killed someone or committed assault, rape or robbery, etc. I wasn’t referring to obvious criminal activity. This is is not the case here.

Wow. Lots of knee-jerk reactions here. He won’t be punished by NU for the California thing as he wasn’t even enrolled yet. Do you really think Frost wants to start a precedent of retroactive punishment for what players did before being a Husker? The weed thing— Who cares? It’s a minor infraction. He’s probably stressed out about all the BS in Cali. You really want to toss a kid out for that when our POTUS has done ten times worse things and half of us are apparently ok with that? Unbelievable folks. We don’t need a team of future Sunday School Teachers ( no offense if anyone here is).

A closer who just throws fastballs doesn't work against a good hitting team. Not just this game, but baseball in general when coaches pull a middle reliever who just got you out of a jam and has plenty of pitches left, only to go to the closer who blows an masterful pitching performance by the starter. Frustrates the hell out of me.

Ha. Unfortunately can’t do that.

I see I’ll be missing the first game because of work. Again!

That was a factor. The feeling I had during the game that day was that we had no business losing, but still managed a way to do just enough to get another L. The officiating didn’t help, but the Huskers hurt themselves too many times. I desperately need a W over NW this season to help me get over experiencing the NW student section chanting “O and six” at us while we were leaving our seats.

Hmmm. Was he also arguing calls with a NW fan while simultaneously being hushed by his wife. If so, yep. It was me.

They haven't faced a Frost led Husker squad in Lincoln yet. Last year in Evanston, our discipline problem wasn't cleaned up yet (stupid penalties, poor technique). Plus NW had zero penalties CALLED on them the whole game, which having attended the game I still maintain was a bunch of B.S.

Nice addition. Among other things, Noa gives us another reliable option on 3rd and long.

I also don't agree with it. Why was 250 decided on? It punishes those who post occasionally on topics of interest and don't just go post a bunch of non-sense all the time. How about basing it on how long you've been a member rather than post count? Seems to me like a better way to keep the trolls out.

I’ve seen him play several times. Great speed, just needs to improve his physicality. That will come as he gets stronger and more experienced. Would like to see him at NU for sure.

Good to know. I’m working today so have the DVR set to record. Maybe at some point they will show the entire game when they need program fillers. Thanks.

Ohio State’s spring game is on BTN at 11:00 and NU’s at 1:00. How’s that going to work? Spring games are longer than two hours aren’t they?? I’m sure they will tune into the Huskers about half way through the second quarter. We’ll miss all of AMart just so we can see Tosu’s 6th string team play. Hopefully I’m wrong, but I don’t trust BTN to not screw us over.

This looks like a previous visits photo . Unless he shaved and cut his hair. See the picture with Tuioti.

That original press release listed Coach Bush’s height and weight which is quite bizzare. Must have been important information back then.

Nice finish. It sounds like a couple of cows were doing the commentary.

I want baseball to be better too, but moving to the B1G did NU's baseball program no favors. Worse weather. Worse competition. Baseball will not likely ever generate significant positive revenue, so I don't see Moos losing much sleep over it. Also, with Erstad being a stud NU baseball player and a good punter in the 90's glory years--I think he's pretty safe. Who knows what Moos thinks though.

Unless the program tanks big time, I don’t see Erstad going anywhere in the foreseeable future. I get the feeling Moos likes him.

“Fred Hoiberg's $3.57 yearly salary will be third-highest in the Big Ten, and 11th in the country.” We got him on the cheap too. Good thing he’s salaried, otherwise this would be a minimum wage violation!

My impression has been the exact opposite. I think this is a big loss for the University System.

I notice lots of misinformation and things frequently get out of control on this board. Maybe we need the rumor section back??

You make some good points about how things seem to set up for us nicely on paper. I just need to see it to believe it. On scarlet and cream colored paper, we've won 3 or 4 B1G West titles so far since joining the league. Unfortunately we know what really has happened. Frost and co. will get this thing turned around, I'm just skeptical that it's going to happen in year 2. I hope I'm wrong and we clobber the entire West division, but this is the Big Ten. It doesn't work that way. Wisconsin has been rolling too long to drop off too far. Iowa and NW will probably always play us tough no matter where the games are played. That's just what they do to Big Ten teams. Purdue losing their QB will be significant, but they have a very good coaching staff. I guess I don't get all the KoolAid drinking right now, but It's spring ball time, so maybe thats it.

You do realize we lost to all three of these teams last season and also Purdue. How exactly is that vastly overstating the competition in the west? Are all four of these teams going to suck this year? Were not the only team that may improve in 2019. I know everyone's excited about Frost and the new staff and culture, etc. and I am too, but we still have to beat the teams we have struggled against in the past couple years. There's also a mental aspect doing to that. Are we there yet? I don't know. The West is going to be wide open this year. If our D and ST don't step up, winning the West seems very unlikely IMO. Purdue, Wisconsin, Iowa and NW all had superior defenses last year.
