The weird thing is, the motivation to do that WAS there. They were all talking about how this game needed to be a lesson for the Buffs after what they did to Martinez last year, seeing how much their coach doesn’t like them, etc. Then, they just stopped. It’s strange

Outside of currently replying to a one on a message board, no I’ve never done anything with a child.

It got moved today.

Tell me where you teach and I’ll tell you

Super neat you teach people’s children.

You asked a question about case that couldn’t be further away from what the Maurice Washington case is about. Now you’re making crude jokes about me and my family. Because you want Nebraska to have a good running back.

You and a few others are being intentionally obtuse about Washington’s situation. I don’t unequivocally know the reasons why but I’m pretty sure it’s because the person in question appears to be a big catalyst whether or not Nebraska makes a bowl or not this year. Pretend Mo plays for Ohio St. Do you still have the same opinion? Pretend he’s just Maurice from Santa Clara. Do you even care?

What in the world is wrong with you?

Some great discourse here

I think you have who’s in denial in this conversation backwards

You would do well for yourself to just step away from the screen and maybe correct some papers.

I don’t even know where to begin.

How did you come up with your username?

I mean, Mike Riley served up a pretty classic Bo season in 2016. Started well enough, lost to Wisconsin, got blown out by two name programs, and had an uninspired bowl loss to an sec team. 9-4, and not very inspiring. People were right to not be thrilled with it in 2016 and they were right to want more from Pelini when he produced similar results.

Since there are two threads discussing Solich and Bo and their firings they either did or didn’t deserve (they did) I’ll just say this. When a coach/employee/player is let go, fired, or cut and it’s considered a mistake, usually the person in question is in high demand to be picked up by a peer. Since his firing in 03, Solich has been at Ohio since 05. He’s never won the MAC once, and in a conference famous for coaches using it as a stepping stone or a transition to a higher profile gig, he’s never once been mentioned as a candidate for a job opening anywhere. Since his firing, Pelini has been at Youngstown St. and once his inherited team graduated, Bo has struggled to keep a winning record after a playoff run in 2016 (sound familiar?) And in this wild coaching carousel of the last few years. Bo’s name has never once come up as a potential candidate unless it was a joke. Both men were ill suited for the spotlight a program like Nebraska presents. And since it’s 2019, that’s pretty much that.

That you need elite recruiting AND S/C. And that if you find the right recruits, they can contribute right away. Like Martinez last year

I don’t disagree with you about getting our S/C program to a very high level and instilling that culture, but I don’t think we need multiple years to build a unit considering many elite teams have true freshman and sophomores playing and contributing. As as an example, look at Bama. There are 19 freshmen and sophomores on the two deep, including three true freshman starters in the defense

According to him and Martinez he took passing away and was instructed to hand the ball off. That’s.....weird.

Did anyone follow up and ask Frost to expand upon why he decided to leave the game in the hands of a backup kicker who had never kicked in a game before and not trust his hand picked qb? Because that’s the thing I keep coming back to that’s just straight up baffling.

Is this one of those metaphors I’ve heard so much about?

I think a lot of it lies in the admin. Sure we’ve “cleaned house” from a coaching standpoint, but I think there’s a lot of apathy and old guard in North Stadium. Plus, I think we’re victims of our past success. I’m starting to think we get similar results with every regime because we force every regime into a Tom-Osborne-shaped mold. Some regimes have been better at fitting into the mold than others, but when we see the same types of points of failure...eventually you have consider the possibility that the mold itself is part of the problem.

I get your point but this isn’t the fans fault. It comes down to motivation and coaching. We’ve had major problems with this over the last two decades and the trend now with the latest coach is starting to look disturbingly familiar. This is is going to be an interesting week, Frost has a lot of work in front of him.

Yes?
