Courtesy Flush

Wow....No wonder he loves OU so much.

 

 

!?!?!? How much can we get to run the water table? Should we reach out and see? I’d wear an OU hat for a cool $1500 and front row tickets to see OU get spanked! I’ll even act shocked and disappointed that they lost.

Curse would definitely be in effect, especially considering you can’t advance a muffed punt in NCAA.

That’s exactly what I’m saying! Touchdown Whoever’s

I see 2-4 wins next year. If I was AD I would be looking for a replacement in the OC. That is why I think courting Bill O'brien or Herman is really the only solution. If it works out with one of them at OC great if not well then we don't have to look very far. Also Frost would feel the heat and maybe not try and throw the ball inside the EFFING 6 yard line after A.Brown fair catches a punt on the effing  6 yard line. 

Let’s be real though… if A. Brown doesn’t fair catch that ball, it bounces off of the 5 yard line and straight in the air. Instead of just landing on the 1 and stopping, the ball would instead catch the tip, just for a second, just to see how it feels… bounce 15 yards back the other way, hitting an oncoming and unaware Husker. After hitting the Husker, it would magically land in the arms of the most unathletic player on the opposing team, who would run it in for a 19 yard fumbled punt recovery touchdown. The curse is freaking real.

Might as well tell Scotty goodbye now if Cam jumps. 

This would be the thing that would make the KoolAid run dry in my house. Please, Cam, please just stay. I’ll buy a damn shirt.

Well he's a OC/QB coach and he's from Georgia.  Kinda killing 3 birds with one stone since Frost wants roots in Georgia recruiting 

I’d take the banker from Fort Collins back before the former head coach in Fort Collins.

So....if they make the playoff, they won't have ANY head coach.

 

Interesting strategy.  

I’ll do it for free.

And who would do ST?

For the hundredth time… I’ll do it for free! It can’t get much worse.

Don't really keep up with Auburn but they fired their OC

He was CSU’s head coach for a bit. Not a fan of his.

He was recruiting still for LSU yesterday according to this.

Brian Kelly was supposedly with a ND recruit in home a couple hours before the news broke that he was leaving for LSU. Recruiting doesn’t stop, so this isn’t a surprise at all to me.

Offered a transfer portal DB out of Abilene Christian 

My wife went to school there for 2 years while I was in the USAF. ACU is a strange school. They get a lot of good players who were overlooked in Texas and surrounding areas.

The bleacher report had me. I thought this was real. The Twitter handle is missing the “t” after report though. Dang… the drama.

Feel free to ““ at everything I just said. Feel free to call it a “moral victory national championship”. 
 

The stadium will be full Friday, and NEB will hold Iowa to less than 250 yards. Adrian will have one fumble and one INT. The offense will get 400+ yards. Special teams will miss two FGs. The game will be within 9 points.

He's done a great job, but that contract looks way overboard right now given that is MSU down 49 to zip to OSU, which will be a 2nd straight loss, and then PSU on deck for next week, which could be a 3rd loss in a row.

MSU got scared he’d bail for SEC opening. They did what they had to do. I love it, because NEB will be beating them next year. 10 win season coming up. 
 

… looks around kitchen…

”Mom!!! We’re out of KoolAid!”

And what offense is that exactly? Are you telling me everything we've been hearing about mixing it up,  starting from scratch, needing new ideas etc. is just the coach blowing more smoke?  Brand new offensive staff to do the exact same thing? 

 

For every Russell Wilson there are 20 Tate Martells. A guy with first string potential who didn't make it at his first school you're saying, why would they succeed here instead on an underperforming team? Genuinely curious the thought process there.

Joe Burrow is the thought process. There is no Joe Burrow if someone doesn’t take a chance on him for his senior year. How many guys are backups at great power five schools that never get a real chance like that?

Rattler is going west. No big name trsnsfer QB is coming into this situation.

I actually think it’s a prime position to be in; once the offensive staff has been identified. A guy that is second string with first string potential steps right in with little competition.

Thoughts on Tom Manning? He’s friends with Campbell at ISU, but money talks.

“Tom Manning, OC, Iowa State: You have to rewind back to the Cyclones’ 2018 season, when Matt Campbell called the plays to appreciate his worth. Iowa State finished 96th nationally in total offense, including last in the Big 12 at running the ball that year. Manning came back to Ames in 2019 and made changes. Iowa State improved drastically and finished 27th and 34th in the FBS in total offense for the past two seasons. Quarterback Brock Purdy led the Big 12 in pass attempts during that span. Not to mention Breece Hall led the FBS in rushing in 2020. Every year the Cyclones’ offense gets better under Manning’s watch, which is a scary thought, considering how star-studded they’ll be this fall.”

I agree. Hopefully he won't be in the dog house of the next WR coach, like he was with Lubick. 

I must have missed this somewhere. I thought Alante was recovering from being injured two seasons in a row, not in the doghouse. Was he in trouble for something?

This just became my favorite thread on the board. 

Flushtradamus prediction - Huskers beat Wisconsin and Iowa to finish 5-7. They get a bowl game offer and take it. They beat their opponent in the bowl game by 30. 
 

heading into next year, Frost gets 9 wins and gets to keep his job, breaking the Solich curse.

A major issue we have had this year is that we play like we did against MSU, Michigan, OU and OSU only to go up against lesser teams without the motivation, preparation and intensity.  We then lose those games too.

 

The biggest issue going into Wisconsin will be what is the mindset of the team?  Are they going to be motivated to go play well, or come in with their minds swimming around on other issues?

 

I believe, for the last few weeks, the team has been concerned that the staff is all going to get fired because of the record.  Well, now they know what changes are being made.  Hopefully that clears their heads and they go play well.

I hope some of them see that they need to make a strong impression to be considered as a player in the remodeled offensive scheme. The two best things you can do right now as a player in this situation is 1. block like your mom is back there, and 2. protect the ball when you have it. 

Here are a few things I found interesting from today.
 

These two comments from Trev-

1. “But I want to first say, that Scott and I both understand that our results are not what they need to be. Nobody is suggesting that where we stand is comfortable and/or acceptable long term. But I also think in just observing and watching some things that are very, very important to me in terms of the unity of the players, the work ethic, the togetherness, those things are there. I talk about incremental progress and I've seen that in some key areas."

2. "I don't believe it's the athletic director's role to tell a coach, 'You need to fire this coach and hire that coach.' I like to ask questions. Most of it was fairly self-evident to Scott. I think he knew that certain changes had to be made. But this was Scott's plan. This is Scott's plan that he brought to me. The way these things work is that Scott brings plans to me, I bring plans to my bosses, and ultimately you try to gain some consensus. I believe in the plan that he's presented and I'm looking forward to working really hard with him and seeing if we can execute it at a high level and be successful."
 

The last few minutes of this video from Sam McKewon: 4:40 on was very interesting 

Sam says “I think this job, the Nebraska job would have been pretty attractive in this cycle. There is a sense that I got over the past week or so, that things were going to be more palatable, in terms of a candidate perspective, than… maybe some people think. I think this job is probably better than a lot of people think it is.” You’ll have to listen to the rest on your own. It gets… interesting.

The final thing is that on today’s “B1G Today” Dave Resvine, Howard Griffith and Nichole Auerbach talk about how Nebraska is a much better team than their record. Dave calls the Huskers defense “Elite”, and Howard says “those who think this team is bad aren’t watching the games.” 16:30 in they talk about OSU vs. Nebraska. 18:30 they shift to talking strictly Nebraska.

Is that a good “Damn” or a bad “Damn”? We don’t want that dam to break and the portal to be flooded.
