*The Karen* says Welcome to your knew home. Awesome news!!

lol... seriously? If any post is an attack it would be yours!! Mine in no context was an attack so really... why not you follow your own advice! Name calling is rather childish. Also very indicative of an abuser!

Really? So if he was your son you'd deny him the enjoyment of a once in a lifetime occurrence? Rather selfish of you!! No coach, No Parent, No Fan base should ever deny a player to enjoy the process. Rather all should support the young man in his adventure and hope he makes the best decision based on his experience and guidance both from the parents and the staffs of the uni of choice. My hope is, he takes every trip he can. Why, because once he announces well... his travels (for pure pleasure) will be at his dollar. Enjoy the process young man!! Be Safe, Be Smart but have fun and enjoy it!

I personally don't see them being better than (or is it then, i think than as in comparison but we are talking also about time so it would be then, sticking with than) a 6-6 record. Absolutely can't see Northwestern winning 7 games this year.

Wishing the best for him. Hope he finds success in everything he does. Most of all, I hope he stays healthy and finds peace in his decision but now, now we move on and move forward.

Butts in seats = dollars to local venders. Local venders going bankrupt and losing their livelihood would devastate the university and the city. Therefore, to think Moos is not doing everything possible to place butts in the the seat is simply a false thought.

It saddens me so much knowing that racism still exists today. Racism rooted so deep within our pasts that I don't know if it will ever end. Hate creates Hate and to many people prefer to hate. Such a sad fact! Here's hoping Iowa and every university out there that is suffering this intolerance of evil can rise above the hate and openly change. Flesh alone can't heal the wounds!

Any ideas if nebraska is still targeting this guy. His film is impressive.

I'm so excited for this young man. What a story this will be. Yes "will" not "might". I believe this kid has the heart, the desire, the fortitude and the courage to face the challenges lying ahead and the humility to ask for help in achieving his goals. I anxiously await his story. It's going to be GREAT!

@teachercd until it's manipulated in one way or another. In many instances its the "Haves" that benefit while the "Have nots" are more deserving. Sports in general is a very good example. I've seen and heard of the scenario where coachs are forced to start lesser players because parents of the lesser players have put thousands of dollars into the athlete thru select sports. (baseball, volleyball, softball, basketball) Parents believe they should have a voice in their child's sport because they've (the haves) spent thousands on their child's development. The parents feet feel their child should start even if the better athlete who isn't in select sports (parents can't afford it, the have nots) is more deserving.

Or... Like many schools, end the elitist tradition of having to boast on 2 students. Val's & Sal's post HS accomplishments rarely result in more success then other class members. Sometimes, yes but that is not the norm. As a community we frown on "Look At Me or Look At My Accomplishments" boasts so why do we promote that agenda with our youth?

Welcome to the Fam Damily Mr. Hardy.. No better place then N!!

lol.. you expecting Armageddon? Hell, by now you have enough stock piled to actually use it to barter with when the world collapses and all any of us want is to get drunk and pass out.

Dumb question from someone that has never lifted. Hutmacher, to me, seems like a power lifter so my question is mostly about equipment. Has equipment changed that much for power lifters as I figure most of the equipment is still bars and weights. Yes/No? I realize the quick twitch muscle development equipment has changed but has the power lifter equipment?

not sure how "unpopular" this is. many agree with the statement. he had a bad 2nd year. here's hoping that was a fluke

as an anti sergio garcia guy I'm not sure i can support this guy

My question (except by Husker in WI) remains yet unanswered by the other posters. Frost came in with amazing hype, what he learned was how depleted his department was. So much so that I believe it shocked him to the core. You can say the comparison is irrelevant or argue its relevance but program history be damned, losing creates decline, decline creates bad habits and bad habits create bad results.

So, the HOF coach's results aren't good enough in your opinion, yes? and if we go 5-6 again as the HOF coach did, is that reason for concern?

So, the below stats are those from a hall of fame coach. Are these acceptable at Nebraska? If so, are you as a fan willing to have 3 below average seasons to finally acknowledge the coach is worthy of the hype?

Actually, Paul Johnson isn't an RPO offense. (though I think you fully understand that). I'm saying 80% is obviously not realistic even with a great line but had frost ran it that much last year the results would not have been worse. (Likely not better either) However, had he ran a base formation with a focus on running more the result of that would have been a more through understanding of the base formation fundamentals. It was a young line last year. From the start frost new he'd struggle to win 7 games. Sacrifice the season to develop through repetition thereby better preparation for the this coming season. Install 30-40 plays with each having 1 or 2 audibles and perfect those plays. Perfection through Repetition. Both of frostie's seasons here ended much better then they started, yes? Was it because the players didn't fully understand the complexities of the offense and if so, would repetition be the reason for the perceived improvement by years end? If so, then can anyone disagree that hindsight being 20/20, developing the run the ball mentality thru repetition pays dividends? There is so much truth is the wisdom of "sometimes one takes one step back to leap forward". Step back, reduce the playbook, establish depth, establish fundamental soundness via repetitive confrontation against every front. Once that foundation is established and hardened then add to it but not before.

I (edit I think I) fully understand the RPO.. I fully understand the appearance or resemblance of frostie's offense when compared to Osborne's. What I'm saying is develop a run first mentality rather then audible out when a defense switch to a 8 or 9 man front. I get Wyohusker's post. I get the frustration with people screaming "run the dang ball". What I don't get is the opinions stating we need a highly complex scheme in this day and age. The best RPO schemes are simple. The successful RPO programs (Bama, OSU, Clemson, OU) have the run the ball first mentalities with a sound foundation. Meaning they have a base formation (1 TE, 2 TE, 5 wideouts, etc.. sets) and from that foundation they audible into the adjustments. Do that with a smaller playbook and perfect those instead of trying to ho hum through a complex over sophisticated playbook. Run the ball, IMO, is more about the mental makeup of the program then averaging stats. Hindsight being 20/20, I wish Frost would have run the ball 80-85% of the time last year because the results would likely have been the same (maybe better) but the players would now believe that much more the emphasis Frost wants on the ability to run! Frost knows you can't win if you can't run. As do most here so the "run the ball" is not about stats it's about confidence and fundamental beliefs.

Most agree with you. Pelini was a pretty good coach but the antics were just too much. That said, he averaged 9 wins a year. Nough said!!
