...and yet, the solich and pelini years were at least watchable. I mean we got to enjoy husker football in December. 

Just came from the game. All 3 qbs stink. That is all. Go big red.

How about we just lock all the threads pertaining to MJ and this incident until ALL the facts come out.   This would allow most to have civil discussions about the other things going on with Husker football, like other assistant hirings and recruiting.  

Yeah we should just censor any discussions some might be uncomfortable with. Or we could leave a dedicated thread open to it so it's not being brought up in all the other threads!!!!!! Jeez just don't open this thread if you don't want to read about it. 

Why? Seen enough micromanagement of our coaches. Let rhule stand or fall on his choices. I do like mickey though. 

What is this nonsense? I was promised Urban Meyer with Deion Sanders coaching the dbs. Boo #fireeveryone #killthestreak 

I understand it's a business but I kinda wish Mickey and the seniors had the weekend to just enjoy their win. 

I've learned that fans will demand the sellout streak to end in a desperate hope to feel some kind of control. The team sucks and has sucked for years...you know who hasn't sucked? The fans. Give up the sellout streak? Yeah let's suck too. That'll show em.

Somebody kill me.

Just think of it like waiting for Christmas as a kid...except you're probably getting underwear and a new toothbrush...

I watched up until Thompson got hurt then was in and out as Purdy has been horrible every time I've seen him play. So I may have missed it but did we do anything to try to get the ball into Palmer's hands in space? Jail break screen, quick out, end around?

Hmmm. Maybe I'll buy a ticket to help.

So the rutgers oline is allowed to bearhug now

No Davison, no 97 title. Don't care about anything else. Nothing can ruin that mizzou game memory for me. 

Odd. Who agrees to take less to be fired? What is going on?

It definitely looked worse at full speed live action. I only arrived at ticky tack after rewatching it numerous times. But yeah it was totally within the realm of being called as it was. The prior one was definitely BS and that made the two in a row for an ejection seem pretty overzealous for the refs.

 

I got the feeling all night that they wanted to be part of the story. Maybe they wanted to impress Kevin Warren who was in attendance. I always figure the refs should just keep the game fair rather than shaping the game.

The refs were bad both ways with just way too many penalties. It felt evenly called, just should have let the kids play a little more. 

200k for winning the big ten. Should have made it a billion dollars.

I hope the sellout streak dies and it's never mentioned again. Just focus on winning, the present, and the future.

Maybe with Busch being DC there can be minor improvements each week. I do not think NU will have to play great to beat Indiana.

You're assuming Nebraska gets better and Indiana doesn't. Right now, I imagine we'd be underdogs in that game. We'll see what happens going forward with some actually tackling at practice and on offense that slows down to try to keep the game in reach. Who knows. Currently this team is awful.

Will we actually improve? Cause I bet the rest of our competition will. Iowa may figure out a few things and their oline may overpower our dline. If the team doesn't get better...which could happen with all the turmoil...we lose out. If they improve a little, we can steal a couple of games.

Anything can happen in football but man this team is just bad for so many reasons. I don't envy mickey Joseph. Where does he even start?

I see this as a good move toward the future. Sure the team may learn some better skills and we may get better defensively for this year but let's eject as much of this old staff as possible now. 

If any of these rumors of the old coaches behaviors and attitudes are true, then they will continue to make things worse..yes worse this season. Who knows, maybe chins runs off a potential recruit or a current player by mailing it in the rest of the year. We don't really know what's going on but there's usually more to the story.

The game went as expected. This same team lost to Georgia southern. Now they faced a real defense. What would change in 1 week? Frost's teams have been predictably, consistently bad for the last 2 years. A new coach can't do much in a handful of practices.

Tackling should get better as the season goes on now that they are emphasizing it in practice. This will improve the defense. With a new coaching approach, we may be able to sneak out a few wins. 

What the...

I regret to be the one to remind OP that Nebraska lost The Battle For NU, and we cannot be referred to as "NU" until we reclaim the title from NU (Northwestern).

 

It sucks. I know. But rivalries matter.

Yeah screw that. If I can't have the broken chair trophy then all other stipulations are null and void.

JFC that is a lot of words.

I didn’t say he should be “given” the job but rather strongly considered. You seemed to have a problem considering him even if he went 9-0.

 

I have a problem with him getting the job even at 9-0 as the only parameter. I agree we find the most qualified candidate. If it happens to be mickey then great. But his record as a coach of 9 games, shouldn't be the only consideration. And the color of his skin has no factor in this and never should.

Is the native son thing still a narrative right now though? I haven’t seen, heard or encountered one instance of someone thinking Scott shouldn’t have been fired. 
 

I also think TO’s influence or

opinion gets drastically overestimated. 

My father believes he needed more time. Believes the mess was really bad to clean up and he got a rough hand dealt with the lightning opening and then covid. I would add the transfer portal changed things too. 

Part of me wants to believe he may have gotten things figured out had he had time to adapt and had a better supporting cast to shoulder more of the responsibility but everytime I saw him on TV he just looked worn out. Sometimes you just need to step back and recover. Hope he does and I wish him the best.

That damn sock was wrong...but that was one of the best threads ever!
