  1. Clicks = ads = money. Controversy = conversation = anger = clicks = ads = money. It's that simple.
  2. He got paid to be a figurehead for some law firm that was going to do it with someone else. Honestly, good for him getting a fat check for doing nothing and in support of something that would have happened anyways.
  3. The thing people forget about the Keller/Ganz saga is that Sam Keller was not a bad quarterback. He was setting and on pace for setting a bunch of records in his one season here before going down with a broken collarbone. Obviously he loved the checkdown and our offense and entire team had massive problems, but those were so much bigger than him, and Joe's hype was also somewhat over-inflated (in '07 at least) from Callahan deciding to essentially go full air-raid in order to try and prove that his system worked.
  4. That was a pretty slow roll from September 15, 2013 all the way until November 30, 2014.
  5. If we're going by weeks, we've been top 20 literally 96 times this century.
  6. That videogame does unwittingly present a good representation for how evangelicalism missed Jesus. That entire framework is predicated on building up a castle against the evil forces of the world. Whereas Jesus was a pretty chill nomad, inviting people to walk with him through the wilderness, risk the weather and the chaos, be ready to encounter naked beggars on the side of the road, etc.
  7. Maybe they just mean western Nebraska
  8. The fact that this is becoming more of a story is... frustrating. Not because I disagree with the principle, but because this entire topic of conversation originates from some random twitter user/stalker using a flight tracker to find out that Kylie Jenner's plane flew a few miles away. The thing they didn't find out is whether or not she was actually on it. Overwhelming odds are that the plane was flying to where it usually stays, or flying to a location for maintenance. And now we have this "news".
  9. Shatel claims, It was 4 seconds, Tom.
  10. I mean, look at all of our scoring plays against Michigan, one of the nastiest defenses we played, and tell me that Lubick or scheme were the problem. We were only in that game because of exceptional scheming. Same for many others. I'm not sad to see Lubick go but I might end up being sad to see the philosophy of that offense go if that's how it turns out.
  11. Not sure they really care as long as they're sold.
  12. Eh, he could've, but when you look at the full picture of who Frost is, his history, and plenty of other comments he's made through the years, I don't think that's a lot of reading into it at all. I think it's a reasonable simple accurate perception. And even if it isn't, that's one specific instance I picked randomly; disproving that doesn't discredit the "entitlement" attitude that has permeated the program and that's been present for years and admitted to by recent players.
  13. The type of stuff this makes me think of is after the Northwestern game last year, Frost said in his on-field interview, "This is how it's supposed to be." That type of narrative isn't helpful for success. Whether it's true or not, it seeps entitlement and expectation of greatness into the locker room just by virtue of being Nebraska.

  15. 2006 Nebraska was 9-4 with no blowouts and non-november losses and wasn't top 25. 2008 Nebraska was 8-4 and then 9-4 with only one november loss and wasn't top 25. 2013 Nebraska was 8-4 and then 9-4, not ranked for six weeks before barely squeaking in at #25 after beating Georgia. 2014 Nebraska was as high as #11 in November and was 9-4 and didn't end up top 25. 2016 Nebraska was 9-4 and didn't end up top 25. So if the point is that there is a possible scenario that depends on context and circumstances where we might be top 25 at the end of the season with an 8 or 9 win record, sure. But if the point is that one specific set of criteria will absolutely make us top 25, nah, you can look back at our own recent history and see that isn't a guarantee.
  16. It's infuriating that there needs to be a gofundme to help pay for his medical bills. That should absolutely be paid by the city and their tax revenue, not random people having to donate their own money.
  17. His offensive scheme didn't dramatically change in favor of the pass because of a magic year with elite QB/WR play though. 2019 averaged 39.5 passing attempts, 33.7 rushing attempts 2020 averaged 38.6 passing attempts, 35.3 rushing attempts 2021 averaged 38.8 passing attempts, 37.7 rushing attempts
  18. That Pat quote points at something I am genuinely worried about. I hold this loosely, but there's something in me that has a hunch Whipple will end up being like the Diaco hire for Riley - a "recommendation" from above that never conceptually or spiritually belongs. I know the results have been disappointing but Frost obviously likes and wants to be a prolific running team, and had the schematic direction heading in a really interesting and effective direction with all the orbit motion option game, all to presumably go by the wayside. I can't help but have some latent skepticism that this is going to be a good marriage.
  19. $3.55 by my place east of Atlanta. I made sure to fill up a few cans
  20. Another hilariously frustrating part of this is that... the story of the Good Samaritan is dramatically antithetical to the way the term is used in this situation.
  21. Saban often does this, and people find it hypocritical but I find it refreshing and honest. He's not going to actively hurt his program by doing something he doesn't have to - he's lobbying for the rules and expectations to change for everyone. He b!^@hed about RPO/tempo offenses and people said he was whining because he had lost a step, but it was really just him warning everyone that if this is what we're going to allow then I'm going to take it and destroy you with it. He's also been on record for a long time saying every conference should have 9 game conference schedules. But even with that being said, Bama's schedule is routinely as hard as anyone's if not harder on a yearly basis. Sure you'd like to see them play true road games more in non-con, but they always schedule at least one marquee out of conference matchup, and then have to face the SEC West every year.
  22. I always view city populations by their metro areas personally
