  1. Don't forget he did a fine job nurturing Aaron Hernandez at Florida ........
  2. In November 2018 Baylor University introduced an initiative called "Give Light" targeting their alumni and current student families. February 2022 they had raised and received $ 1.1 billion. Their endowment is over $2 Billion which is in the same neighborhood as Nebraskas. As a side note Aranda signed a new contract earlier this year, I believe it is for 5 years but as you mentioned Aranda sees the world a bit differently that isn't money centric he takes a more cerebral approach, there was an article regarding him in ESPN which makes him probably better suited for under the radar Baylor where the alumni are happy with 8-4 year in and year out rather than the Briles approach of gifted athletes while turning a blind eye to the athletes character in hopes of being the wild card into the top 5 discussion. https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/34426714/why-baylor-dave-aranda-unlike-college-football-coach-know BTW, my reference point comes from a Daughter on the Baylor campus from 2018 graduating this past May.
  3. Historical data tells us that that is a 16% increase step in the right direction PLUS the losses wouldn't be single digit agonizers we would know by halftime the inevitable outcome which is probably good for everyone's anxiety. That being said ...... Nah, NEXT!
  4. So his gift for being a native son is an additional $7.5M in his pocket ..... wonder if Trev was afraid just like the UCF 2017 season the crazy lightning would strike again only this time in the form of beating OU?
  5. Perhaps Scott's real career future is as the Spokesmodel for "Ignorance is Bliss" .... it ain't at the NCAA or NFL level as the HC
  6. "Frost tells fans, and his players, that "the talent is there, we just need to execute" Pelini said it too. Callahan said it... Riley probably made a comment like that also" From a credibility standpoint: Pelini was correct 71% of the time Callahan was correct 55% of the time Riley was correct 50% of the time AND Frost has been correct 34% of the time It's the landscape of sports both professional and semi pro (NCAA), here is so much money to be had it has created a knee jerk over reach based on 1 good season. Scott had a fluke year in 2017 at UCF with Jr's and Sr's that did not select UCF because of him. Take out the 2017 season from his resume and look at the other 6 seasons his driving the bus stays on the road and out of the ditch 37% (22-38) of the time, not a bad percentage if he is going door to door selling aluminum siding but not as the face, leader and visionary for a team that generated revenue via wins with a reputation like Nebraska.
  7. Georgia Southern - What did we Learn? That the 2017 UCF season was a complete fluke
  8. The Berkshire Hathaway, Union Pacific, Kiewit etc. etc ...... signage seems I don't know, a little lite
  9. Does 7-5 and a Bowl game regardless of the Bowl outcome bring him back and forgiven for the previous 5 years? Of the 7 I see North Dakota, GA Southern, Indiana, Rutgers, Purdue, Illinois and Minnesota as the most likely getting him to 22-35 after 6 seasons thanks to what I would call a dream BIG schedule this year with only 3 preseason ranked teams, 2 of those games are at home.
  10. TCU has a lot of Alumni-Boosters from multigenerational money that play AD at large with their checkbooks. I get the sense in Patterson's case he was drained emotionally by dealing with the boosters that know more football than Gary's resume shows what he actually knows.
  11. Meanwhile at the Frost household .....
  12. What has Kiffin ever done professionally beyond making comments to draw attention to himself? He completely got out coached and whipped by Baylor in the Sugar Bowl in every category with weeks to prepare. Seems we already have someone that doesn't fully prepare yet brings attention to our school on all forms of social media platforms with 1 exception, Kiffin CAN recruit and doesn't worry about the athletes character. Aranda is beginning his new contract this season and by all accounts his quiet personality (the anti-Kiffen personality) works well with for the most part under the radar Baylor.

  13. If the schedule is not set in stone then let's find different opponents than (2021) 5-6 FCS North Dakota and (2021)3-9 Sunbelt Conference Georgia Southern. We have been told virtually every postgame "we are close" all season and have been trying to convince ourselves that single digit losses are somehow moral victories. Instead of participation wins against the FCS and the Sunbelt lets see honestly and objectively what and where we are as a program (even if the truth hurts). I for one say let's play someone more our size like someone out of the ACC such as NC State, Wake Forest or Clemson and/or an SEC school like Mississippi State, Arkansas or Tennessee. If we are going to play against a lesser conference then bring on the best let's play Cincinnati. We aren't going to be considered one of the top 5% of NCAA football programs nationally by beating smaller schools from lesser conferences. We can get there by standing toe to toe with someone our own size. Convince me a 40 point win against the Sunbelts second to worst team Georgia Southern instantly makes us ranked 8th or higher nationally .... Change My Mind
  14. "By signing this national letter of intent you will get to go to Dublin Ireland all expenses paid thanks to the Nebraska taxpayers AND there is a very strong likelihood you will run on to Camp Randall field for the first time led by your position coach that the Sunday prior became the Interim Head Coach of the Nebraska Cornhuskers" ....... what Nebraska Wesleyan recruit wouldn't flip and sign with Scott?
  15. To your point, if the AD is putting the staff together then the HC has been promoted beyond his professional capacity. The Scott Frost era has a parallel to the Lovie Smith "Flailing Illini" era with just a few caveats: (1) Lovie in his 5 years had one 6-6 season and got his team to a bowl game where they got on familiar subpar ground and finished the season at 6-7 (2) Frost has never lost a bowl game as HC of the Huskers for those that feel he needs patience and time .... 4 years with a 5th and we've basically got vanilla Lovie minus the buzz of traveling to Boise for the prestige of the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl. I believe we all agree Riley was nothing more than average his entire coaching career but to keep hearing the record skipping on Frost had a lot to fix, it creates a huge, noticeable hump swept under the rug with the reality Frost the "Fixer" is going to need a 5th season to tie the problematic 3 years of Riley on the all time Husker Coaching Win List .....
  16. Thanks for posting these, it answers my decades old question .... "why is the only NCAA marching band with a Banjo section the Hawkeye Marching Band?"
  17. Don't know if the kid can play at a high level but I do know Iowa doesn't have a head of hair that can compete with this
  18. Nope ..... My dislike for Iowa goes back to Hayden Fry
  19. I believe you are referring to the "blind squirrel vs. nut" thing ....... here's to that squirrel to this and all future endeavors 70F10E28-6472-4839-9293-4D4ECB388E14.heic
  20. Dan Mullen is/was fired at University of Florida: Record: 34-15 (2018-21) Bowl Games: 2-1 Conference REcord: 21-13 Conference/Division Performance: 1-1st finish; 2-2nd finishes; 1-6th Scott: Record: 15-28 (2018-21) Bowl Games: 0-0 Conference Record: 10-24 Conference/Division Performance: 3-5ths; Either 1-6th or Tied for 6th (optimistically with a slight-slight chance 7th all alone if NW pulls a KU at pathetic Illinois) SOOO, the takeaway is: (A) Was Florida impatient and Mullen wasn't given enough time to change what the problems he inherited? (B) Florida won't tolerate losing? (C) Moos really screwed Husker Nation and set the program back for years? (D) All the Above ..... And then some? (E) Some of the Above .... And then some?
  21. In your opinion did it go poorly based on the talent or preparation of the backup's or something else? Regardless who on the payroll own's the poor results?
