Nice Vokolek!

Go back to Vokolek...have him post up in the zone

Anyone wanna go to Target and hang out in the parking lot, grill some dogs and drink some brews, while the ladies go shopping?

Stop being a troll.  Tickets sold out & attendance are 2 different things.

But it's "sold" as if it is "full attendance"

Would definitely keep the sellout streak alive!

Or...or...buy out a cemetery and build the stadium on top of it. Technically there are x # of souls always in attendance and just add that to gate sales. Full disclosure: if I had a stadium built on top of me when I expire...winning!!!

Unfortunately nothing is going to work offensively when you have nothing in the QB room and a horrid OL. Nobody can call anything that will work when the key players can’t even execute exiting a wet paper bag. There are maybe 3 or 4 players total on this whole team who would be nice to keep but they are all pretty easily replaceable. And I am commenting much more on the development they received under Frost than their talent level. This is a complete reset and the new coach better have a history of rebuilding dumpster fires.

The lack of traditional RB screens from the get go blows my f'ing mind. Atleast then the DL and D in general has to legitimately process if this is "too easy or not"

I knew that's exactly what it was as soon as they showed the reply.

 

I would guess he's probably done for the rest of the season with the way he can barely throw serviceable balls as it is. Pretty hard to generate throwing power when you can barely push off.

You are up bro

Yep, I remember that quote.    I have this question now:  Why would any of the existing P5 coaches who have been named come here?  Why would a winning P5 coach give up their growing program to take on this mess?  Aranda, Kkeiman, Leopold, Kiffin, etc - what incentive to leave other than money?  Maybe Frost came for the money; but most coaches I think move for other reasons.  The 12 team playoff makes it easier for all to stay in their existing conference.  To resurrect a 'blueblood"? Why would that matter to any one when they want to create a blueblood where they are at? 

 

I say/ask all of that to say that this might fall back to an up and comer like Chadwell or an OC like O'Brien who wants to return to the HC position again.  

To be famous in Nebraska?

When I have watched games in the past, I would clap or yell (for good and bad) and my dog doesn't like the loud noises and she hides up in my bedroom.  Today's game went exactly as I expected, and my dog stayed sleeping on the couch next to me for the entire game.  There was no use having any emotion watching today's game, and maybe even any of the 2 remaining games.

Literally was folding laundry while watching it...had a couple "of course" mental murmurs during...stopped watching at 31-3

I think of this, when I think of our O and D.

As others have stated, I learned absolutely nothing.  This game went as much as I expected.  If anything the score wasn't as bad as I expected, as Michigan's OC was like a puppy playing with his food for a good chunk of this game.

Yeah, I was expecting a 21-0 1st Q...28/35-3 halftime type score...

Sad thing is, it's not an age demographic thing...I'm mid 40's and guilty as charged on it.

Frazier?

Point of order: We are trusting C-Husk on this answer...and I'm cool with that.

You  are right   For some reason I was thinking 97

Eric Crouch

 

I was going to go with Brook but cheated and did a search when he passed

The answer I am looking for has not been said, and this person isn’t very relevant to current days Nebraska football.

 

This person isn’t someone that Osborne told or shared info with, and again it’s not Bill Byrne, any family members, or coaching staff from back then. 

Brook Berringers parents?

Bobby Bowden.

Dammit, I feel like that is right and recall hearing that years ago

This is some odd trivia, but I thought it would be fun to do, while in the midst of a coaching search.

 

In the fall of 1997, other than the coaching staff, AD, families, etc. who was the first person to know that Tom Osborne was going to retire and Frank Solich was going to be named the head coach?

Without looking at any response. I am going to assume it is relevant to today...I would assume a Husker player, but for some reason Bobby Bowden creeps in (unsure why)...so I am going with Trev?

People wonder why mental health is so much more prominent then years and years ago. Some say it's because it's more socially acceptable to talk about. I can get that. I really think the explosion in tech and the fact that you can have whatever you want a Google away has led to people taking in info at a rate where the biological rate of the brain is not currently equipped to handle that much self searched stimuli. I am sad, I can find sad s#!t to reinforce my mood. I am happy, I can find happy s#!t to reinforce...people have lost the ability to self regulate (natural process) anymore. 

Talk of cellphones and finding ways to engage people led me to this tangent. Lol.

thank god the boomers have figured out how to solve our fan problems by giving the kids a blues clues game on their phone so they can pay more attention to the team going 3-9. the fan support is saved!

Maybe the program could incorporate use of an App that engages the fans more and redirects attention…Lol

"Find the Pokeman". Students have to use their phone on each play and watch the game through their screen and each play one of the players digitizes as a Pokeman..you get a point for each one you find and can be redeemed for things like.

5 minutes in a licensed safe space.

.25 credit towards a degree of your choice.

A recording of the game that has Kardashian filters on.

We dont lack talent

Huh? I can get our players lacked straight on good coaching. But given the dysfunction in our previous coaching that leads to an environment where dudes just play regardless of scheme, and when that happens the team still loses but at minimum you see talent that makes talented mistakes...aside from Grant and a slight few others...we just see mistakes

I learned that I genuinely enjoy the "What did we learn" threads!
