I have to admit that I was one of those who thought that Frost coming back to Nebraska will yield dividend really fast. I bought the hype and thought we would be much better this year. Unfortunately, I was way off and it seems like Frost and his coaches have severely underestimated the situation. Frankly, they seem surprised and shocked at the performance of their team but aren’t they responsible for the product they put on the field?

 

I can give many examples of teams that turned the corner with new coaches very fast. We just have to accept that we are not going to be one of those teams. For us to become relevant again, we need an identity and as of now this team has zero identity. Every game is a crapshoot and we have absolutely no way of anticipating the outcome. Even though Purdue is a 2-4 team, I feel they are better than us. Indiana is a 5-2 team and even though we should be able to beat them at home, no one can guarantee a win because we have no idea which husker  team is going to show up and unfortunately neither do the coaches. If we get to six wins this season, I would consider this a step in the right direction.

It was the Texas game in 07 where we said "F it" and just attacked on D and played aggressive on O...that is the last time I recall a coach for Nebraska basically saying "the s#!t we are trying to do right now doesn't work, so let's do the opposite". At some point, particularly defensively, you just gotta attack and let the chips fall where they may. Offensively, we just need to have constant Martinez designed roll  2 reads and if s#!t ain't there get 4 yards

Denial.  That we will ever look like “insert team” again......

 

Watching a lot of B1G games these weekend.  I’m sure I’ll get rocked for this comment, but NU needs to have the ability to grind out long, time consuming drives.  If a big play happens,  great.  But gotta be able to get tough yards.  They also have quick passes, draws, counters to counter blitzes.....Unsure if we do.  The better D’s.......we are a ways off. In several areas.

Agree on the ability to drive for time...I do think this O can do that, but we look so damn JV across everything (minus a few Varsity players here and there)...we just look so damn weak, it is frickin pathetic to watch

We will not beat Wiscy or Iowa. No way, no how. Not even close. 50/50 that we will go 2 of 3 against Indiana, Purdoo, Maryland.

 

 

Had a dream we beat Wisky 29-17...also I was called, at my home, to call plays but was distracted cause my dog was smoking cigarettes and my couch kept shrinking

I was once confronted with a situation in which I thought I was going to get into it with my boyhood idol Tommie Frazier cause he was being a douche to my dad at a bar in Seattle before the 2010 UW game.

It looks like we dont run anything that is designed to play into another call or play off a previous call...but in all fairness it probably looks that way because we are not generally not executing any play 

Fine..let's do a blackout then

I call this: Motivational Negativity

Listen guys..if you want to exorcise demons, you gotta motivate them to want to leave...its like your speaking gorgonzola when its clearly brie time baby.

Isn't the definition of a sellout that all the tickets were sold? Also i don't see any correlation between ending the streak and play improving.

It's totally correlatable...we dont sellout unless you do...right?

Southeastern Louisiana coming to play in Lincoln in the middle of November. I wonder if they know what they're getting in to

Based on current circumstances...a 50/50 shot at winning

Just now, Toe said:

Yeah, no.

I am beginning to think that the only way we move forward is to let the sellout streak die...are we not actually lying to ourselves each game?

I have seen games lacking butts in seats and yet it is declared a sellout by ticket purchase.

Let's get our 3 Hail Mary's and 4 Our fathers over with and move forward with a clean conscience 

We, apparently, sold our souls for the 90's...so let's cleanse ourselves and move forward 

We look so soft and pathetic

Whomever the QB is, doesn't even try to read route progressions...our OL is a bunch of dudes who think they are big but just a bunch of pussies...D plays like a bunch if guys who think just getting "hyped" is going to make a play.

Flat out just a bunch of puss and mud

Right? They were almost comical. 

It's like they got together and said:

Misinformed Scientist 1: " we need to get as much padding and space between the shoulders!"

Misinformed Scientist 2: "Totally agree...but what about the brain?"

Misinformed Scientist 1:"Dude, F the head, we need to protect the shoulders...and now that think about it, the tailbone too...F the head and everything in it!"

Misinformed Scientist 2: "Yeah..your right...besides with a 30 pound helmet that has state of the art sleek plastic pads for the ears and head ...they should be fine."

Misinformed Scientist 1: "Exactly!!"

I'd like to see a road uni that is all white with a reverse helmet (all red with white N and stripe)

I think if black jerseys are worn, then we should do red pants

 

I'm a uni nut...I generally think any new combination looks sweet. I actually like the Steelers bumblebee look cause it is so absurd

I’m partial to the vintage vibe 

 

Nuts to think how big shoulder pads were...I look at the pads I wore in college in late 90's and think how the hell was I even able to do a swim move 

Comma's are awesome...Hunt Legrone sounds like someone on Sharknado

I remember someone on here saying they thought Scott Frost would make players cut their hair when they came here, which I thought was hilarious.

 

Here's an old Penn State fart's letter to one of their players.

 

 

 

Good lord, that letter would only be worse if he ended it with "What would Joe Paterno do?"

Are you blaming Dr. Tom - the greatest college football coach in modern history - for our current woes? 

Is 22 years ago modern? If it is, I have a boatload of Hanson cd's, Tony Blair autobiographies and "old school" New Era jackets I'm selling for buckets

If that’s true, fine but the hubris coming from the staff about how jurgens is the next rimington needs to be turned down by at least half. 

I honestly think at the end of the day Jurgens is going to be All Conf...dude has a serious case of the yips right now but that will pass........eventually
