    I can’t seem to find the tweet but it was posted somewhere that when they announced Mickey as the interim coach there was a lot of cheers and such from the players. If there is one silver lining in this mess I believe that Mickey is an ideal interim coach. He’s an alumni that cares about the program, he’s a great recruiter, and his players love him. I think he’s a guy that guys can rally around in these tough times. He also has a great chance at being retained and provide a bit of continuity.

    I get the "rally around him" thought...but this team needs a drastic scheme change defensively. Our DL cannot play half man on any rush, their hand fighting is piss poor and so you have to deploy a more aggressive blitz scheme to create straight line gaps. Otherwise, we will get more "effort" but same results at the end of the day.

    I don't know....

     

    I guess seeing the DBS through up the "not today finger" after an incomplete pass frustrated me.  They got their asses kicked, and would still act like they were the reason the ball was thrown 6 yards off target.

     

    My thoughts on last night, these kids don't realize how "not great" they are...

    Lol...when they do that, I immediately think, "you didn't f'ing do anything!"

     

    There was one specifically in the 4th Q (believe it was their gw drive)

    Your guess is as good as mine. Never stated nor believe NU doesn’t control its own destiny. Why would B1G threaten to kick members (NU) out of the conference for playing football in 2020?

    No, I asked you for your guess. You put a flag on the hill of "The Big conference wants us to lose"...so, explain why.

    Like a lot of conspiracies all you have to do is follow the money. The BIG10 makes a fortune having the only blue blood in the west miss bowl games every year. I have it on good authority that Kevin Warren hacked Frost's head set during the Northwestern game and called the onside kick.

    You reeled me in with the 1st sentence. 100% delivered on the rest. FANTASTIC WORK!!!

    There have been two stretches where the B1G hasn’t called a single holding against a Nebraska opponent for multiple years. 
     

    “By definition” of targeting has failed to eject multiple opponents. 

     

    PI against JoJo against UM.

     

    Jurgens downfield blocking against OU, same official didn’t call same effort earlier in the game against OU. 
     

    The Covid schedule followed by Wisconsin backing out. 
     

    Delaney saying they didn’t want to expand and took Nebraska in. 

     

    Moos dissenting from required unanimous voting system, followed by the university issuing unnecessary statement declaring allegiance to B1G after conference announced any team who plays outside of B1G will be kicked out. 
     

    I mean, none of these reasons are why Nebraska sucks and Frost needs to go, but turning a blind eye to these aspects and how it affects the program is flat out ignorant. 

    What is the reason why the Big would not want Nebraska to be good?

    No, the team is not bad. What is true is in "every" official decision by the conference (like the garcia no fumble) the call goes against them. Where was BC, Sipple or any other writer out there commenting about that non-reversal. The announcers were shocked.. There will be at least 6 more examples of the conference officiating bias. Maybe our OLine appears bad because they know they can't play the same techniques that everyone else does because the flags will be thrown. (Remember the 20 something holding calls against us in the Northwestern game 3 years ago?) How about the absolute blatant blown calls like last years Wisky games no call PI on the 2 yard line? Not a single word was spoken about this by the BC's and Sipples... Because they are cowards. I can guarantee in the next conference game (Indiana) there will be a significant emphasis by the officials to hold us down. (Reversed call, Non-Reversed Call, mythical holding call, unsportsmanlike, etc.. that will have a direct outcome to the game). I know this because in EVERY game Frost has coached thats been close it's happened. Every Game, Every Time and our media says nothing!!!

    You legitimately believe the Big 10 conference has a vendetta against Nebraska?

    USC and UCLA attendance will probably go up 10x when they join the B1G because of the visiting fans.

     

     

    Listed attendance per ESPN: 27,143

     

    I mean I know the Rose Bowl stretches but that looks like 5k...max.

     

    Tickets sold should be it's own thing. Actual gate clicks another

    One of AM’s biggest issues was not finding the open receiver quick enough and turned a quick passing game, i.e. 10-15 yrd catches into long developing plays causing sacks and more QB runs. 

    Exactly, he took a designed 5 yard slant and turned it into a 15 yard post/corner

    So, after 2 games and 30 new players to integrate within the team, including an Ireland trip, we are comparing someone who makes quick decisions on pass plays, throws it quickly with zip, and to a catchable spot with trust........ with a 4 year starter who scrambled around every other pass play, bc he couldn't make a quick smart decision, and turned many pass play calls into running to the sideline, or slow developing loft passes??

     

    I am beginning to underestimate some of yalls thought process for comparing quarterbacks in the pocket.

     

     

    Yeah, I am not getting the disconnect here.

    Not sure if this was posted, and I know some do not like the writer, but this was pretty spot on for me.

     

     

     

     

    I wish I had a job that pays me a couple million a year and when I do s#!tty over the span of that I could just say, "ok, for real now."

     

    I have zero sympathy for ANY college coach that makes great coin...for coaching a f#&%ing game (you ain't curing cancer here or helping your fellow man) and then cries when they don't get the s#!t done. You know what you signed up for. Furthermore, you could stop coaching right now and provided your not a complete imbecile with your finances, likely to never have to "work" again.

     

    I put a majority of college coaches in the same bin I put actors. Entertain me...don't lecture me...cause you get wayyyyyyy to much $ for doing a job that, at the end of the day, has no value beyond 1-3 hours of me wanting to lay around and watch some s#!t.

    Comparing the league back then, the conferences, and rules; let alone the fanbases, social media, NIL so many other tangibles that cannot be extrapolated for a fare comparison. BTW you know exactly that is not what I am talking about. I'm talking with the firing hysteria, and this incessant privileged winning attitude. I'm old enough to remember when the fanbase didn't complain after one loss in a season online anonymously. 

    Would ANY coach in ANY era be kept after the resume Frost has built at Nebraska?

     

    And can we stop with the "being born in Nebraska" somehow makes you more entitled to consideration...there is not some magical Nebraska dust that makes a person more "hardworking" than any other person raised in rural areas across this country

    So I was browsing through Reddit and noticed that the Huskers, a school with a rich storied history and also provides wholesome family entertainment... booked a RAP artist called EST Gee (no, I am not making this up) for the opening men's basketball game on November 7th against Maine.

     

    Firstly, rap music is unacceptable. It contains cuss words and language that is unacceptable in today's society. Second, what happened to the days when schools would book country, jazz and classical musicians, or even better, cheerleaders, marching bands and mascot stunts as entertainment? Allowing a rap artist to come and perform his profane-laced, toxic music is unacceptable.

     

    The youth of today should be listening to country, classical and jazz music, not rap music. The University knows better, if they were smart, they'd tell this rapper to take his act elsewhere!

    Lol...not a fan of rap but less a fan of this close minded view
