  1. When Frost didn’t run any no-huddle, up tempo break neck speed, confusion from day one I was pretty shocked. He had that learning and could’ve done some stuff with that even in spurts to disrupt the B1G. one score losses at his rate meant discipline and detail lapses. I defended him til he was let go. If he even won 12 of the 25 he lost in one score games he might have his job. I am absolutely on a wait and see w Rhule. Damn, I wanna see some consistency game to game. I think we take a big leap in the “eye” test category. Whether that equals wins, we shall see. we know what progress looks like, hopefully it also means wins. Success is wins, period. But we will all know what “progress” looks like
  2. s#!t, we played harder and improved last year after frost was fired. now we have a guy who isn’t coaching for a job and has real vision not just a decent enough resume to get hired
  3. Nice to see lists like these to remind who all the guys are. I lose focus on transfers in/out and recruiting, so to see familiar names that are jr’s that could take a big jump is helpful. cheers
  4. Rhule see’s the future, and the future is grass. great call by him and the admin to follow suit. makes sense overall w the Cali schools joining as well
  5. And Fu Man Chu ‘staches with a dip can in their back pocket
  6. bureaucracy destroys everything. literally everything. damn, even our great football program. This sends shivers down my spine. If we can’t root out ‘sitting chairs and pencil pushers’ who have never done a f’ing thing in football but decide direction, we are finished as a program. let alone our nation as a whole, but I digress. No wonder we are wandering.
  7. would like the south florida east coast teams. just wanna see how they would play in Lincoln, Ann Arbor etc in Oct/Nov wanted that since I was 8 yrs old.
  8. Watched the final few episodes of Better Call Saul. they got a lot of the Cornhusker stuff right. Was cool to see our team mentioned.
  9. Yep. but mine own desire for it to work under him clouded the obvious 22 six point losses (give or take) kept me circled in and thinking we were <—————> this close to having success. slightly eye opening to hear it out loud. Sounds like once he left (Domann) he realized it too.
  10. Not genuine. No accountability sounds about right the last 5 yrs and I was a huge Frost backer shows what we think we know v what is actually going on behind closed doors. But the onfield results and W/L confirms what he is saying
  11. My hopes are high for both. Been in college for 3+ yrs, eventually man strength and smarts kicks in and their experience/growth can shine. my reality is they may never become who we thought they might have become and their efforts will be futile, once again. Preferably, my hopes dash my reality
  12. ^^ Shoeless Joe Jackson stared at candle flames jokes aside, when I was in 9th grade Barry Sanders spoke at a football camp I was at…shout out to Mile High Football Camp… he said in his speech to us kids that he used to go to bed at night and “raise his core up” focusing all his energy into his thighs and lower abdomen, he said it literally changed his center of gravity. He said if you visualize yourself mentally, you can make yourself do things you wouldn’t normally be able to do physically. I miss the days of mysticism and mortal men becoming legend in sport. No one has fun anymore. (Or maybe we have sucked for so long we haven’t had a Crouch, Ameer, Suh, Green, Bell, Farley or Tomich to “wow” us).
  13. None of our players are explosive enough. we will have at least 4 offensive and 2-3 defensive players as freshman have breakout seasons.
  14. I’ve followed the Cornhuskers for 40 yrs. Starting in early 80s. So I know all the lore and the heart break, then finally breaking through and being THE team in the 90s. so if we back it up a bit, despite the fandom and the fanatics and the legend, knowing how Devaney struck gold….all that… but it’s like What made Devaney a great coach? How did he get the greatness and turn a program around and win how he did, under him. was he x and o, great recruiter, better scheme, etc… he just did something that doesn’t possible nowadays. What was his gold?
  15. If for some reason Joseph was kept on staff and he is now no longer under prosecution, would we all be like….”see, he’s good! Glad we kept him! We waited until it was done in court and we have a great recruiter and coach. One of our own, let’s move on and let him do his job!” Methinks not. This went from a public issue that was handled by the courts as far as they could take it. Now it’s out of court and it is only personal now, better or worse. N did the right thing letting him go. Even tho it’s turned out this way (no more prosecution), we’ll never know all the facts or even innuendo. Let’s let this fade out and remain personal now. Maybe in 3yrs we may place Joseph in the “those no longer with us” thread if he gets a new job. I am more interested when Thompson will throw and who our left tackle will be. I can nearly guarantee the players aren’t thinking of this case anymore. We shouldn’t either. hope the best for their family.
  16. Denver needs more Huskers. my son was in cancer treatment at Childrens a few years ago and Trevor Simien came to visit the rooms. we took a few pics then I asked him about Zaire and Janovich and how it felt playing in Lincoln whilst he was at NW lolol. super nice guy and he was like…man you cornhusker fans are nuts for your team! Trey to Denver would be great
  17. your stream of consciousness posting needs a little coaching: Watch it, read some stuff. Think to yourself. Don’t post. Sometimes post. Practice those 5 steps. Unless you’re 3-5 beers in then by all means post away. and absolutely you need to coach hustling. Even to 4-5* athletes. There are literally “hustle drills”. And at my college we used to practice “enthusiasm.” literally practiced getting hyped on the sidelines after a scripted big play. Watch a scripted big play near our sideline and the whole team practiced jumping up and down and showing enthusiasm/hype. It seemed so stupid as a freshman, then it made perfect sense later on. if you want to do something when it matters, you practice it. It worked very well. We were by far the most hyped and enthusiastic team in our conference and it wasn’t fake. We were always enthusiastic. Coach made Allen do it twice because he was like 9 inches away from his jump cut on first try. That’s attention to detail which cost N very dearly in 25 games lost by 6pts or less over 5 seasons. Then he gets the jump cut right but doesn’t finish correctly. Coach hollers at him for a 3rd rep and Allen is jogging downfield like “all good coach, I got this”. Coach hollers and he doesn’t listen. Screams, no listen, with instruction. Doesn’t listen. So coach like “aiiigjht, next man up…this mf’er ain’t listening to details on this one.” that was be one player, one drill, 2 reps. But instead of letting it slide, he calls him out. I like it. We been missing this. A lost. Dude ain’t gonna transfer for getting called out. And if he does, or anyone does…bye But man, stop with the assumptions and cratering earth theories. Just chill and read and enjoy.
  18. Some new players gonna show, and even more importantly, some dudes coming back gonna have a whole new level to get to. Can’t wait. 20+ losses by 6 points or less last 5 yrs. Get half those corrected and we gonna be a contenda
  19. and so it goes w the entire Frost tenure, and Mickey having to pull loose strings; which he did admirably. Losing by 7pts or less was Frost’s greatest achievement. Literally set the record in modern times. If Frost goes even 50% in one score games he might still have a job here. Methinks, with an even slight advantage in discipline and “kill” mentality we win enough games next year to go bowling. I’m excited to see what some discipline and an actual f’ing identity looks like. hey Matt, establish a f’ing identity. NOW. he talked about the line of scrimmage. Man v Man. B1G line em up type ball. He better not f this up. Hey Matt, get these boys fing tough. Hit them in the throat and see how it works out. i, for one as a Nebraska fan, just want to see some fing tough players. Make those boys tough as fing nails and let the cards fall. Let’s at least be f’ing tough. Did I say tough? It can be recruited and it can be taught.
  20. Insufferable man, he is def: to extreme to bear, intolerable I add: cringy af we need to beat this team 10 of next 12yrs at minimum.
  21. I know there are plenty of kids who can play D1 from day one. Plenty. but you look at a guy like that with a couple yrs in development and man, they’ve turned a freak into a monster (by the eye test) it sucks because it was injury, but if he turns his tough times into productive times, it was worth the wait. Some kids should just wait it out and work n develop. I really hope Fidone has a fine season, he deserves it and has stayed loyal to N…that means a lot in my book return player of the year in NCAA imo
  22. If Frost goes 10-13 or 13-10 in those games collectively does he still have a job? More specifically if he wins a few that were against ranked opponents or “more meaningful” games does he still have a job? He was very close in games but it’s obvious he got out coached and his teams weren’t paying attention to details it takes to win those Games. methinks that’s why we can really take a leap w details and in-game coaching that’s better
  23. The players wanted this free portal and NIL. it’s always been a business but now the players are businessmen as well. if we fans have to deal with guys like Hausman leaving for his opportunity, players need to deal with cuts and whatnot as well. They are now professionals, deal with it
