That is awesome!!

This will be the last season Nebraska doesn't  go to a  bowl game 

Yes, sir, i am a bit down today knowing this is the offseason, and didn't have to be.  Or did it?  I think i may have convinced myself that the growing pains were necessary, but dang.  11 points separate us from winning 7 straight and that is a gut punch.

No bowl game means the coaches have more time to recruit. 

It would be ridiculous if UGA made it in over Oklahoma or Ohio State.  Not only would they not be a conference champion, they would have 2 losses.  It doesn't matter if they are "good losses", their wins aren't all that impressive.  The committee has pumped up Florida and Kentucky, just because they are in the SEC, and they want to make the SEC teams look good.

Deserving>Best

I have little doubt Georgia is one of the top 4 teams, but with two losses? Nope.

Notre Dame is obviously in but should be scared. They should be punished for dictating their own schedule 

Giant Boobs Must Feel Real?

In past years by this time I would have all the recruits name memorized and what position they would play.  This year not so much.  I can tell you the names of maybe 5 kids.

Hey you can get to know them after they sign right? I kind of like the drama.  It’s like the game within the game 

Spit on the nonbeliever!

I used the Metra once with my fiancée and her aunt. It was a lot quicker than the L (fewer stops) but I think it's more expensive and not as easy to figure out. @knapplc From personal experience, we stayed in Evanston a few years ago, took the L downtown and then walked to museum campus. It was probably 70 minutes of travel time overall. I've also taken the O'Hare train down to the loop and, IIRC, that was about 45-50 minutes.

I'm looking at Airbnb's in the North Chicago area. Most of the things we want to do are around downtown, so a quick drive down Lakeshore should get us there.

Also anyone's welcome to stay at my place on the cheap

This is painful, but it will be for the best.  I see the progress being made.  Offense is clearly ahead and they don't have their ideal personnel yet.  Defense doesn't have they guys to play yet.  I don't care what scheme you run, we weren't physical enough at LOS.  They will get they guys and this thing will get rolling.  Enjoy it while it last wiscy

@swmohusker agreed. We will get there. 

NU's game against Michigan State in 2018 might have gotten a whole lot easier.

Why in the F would a university try to cover this stuff up? It boggles my mind.

Many universities tried to cover it up because they have gotten away with it for decades.  They didn't want to risk losing a great athlete that could make a difference on the field or on the court.  I don't think we've seen the end to these types of claims against university officials.  I sure hope NU is declared reasonably clean.

I REALLY miss that kind of light show.  Can't wait to get back to the Midwest to live out the last part of my life.

You should really discover Columbus

I think a lot of schools recruited KJJ to get to the more talented players on that Calabasas football team.  I am sure Riley did, and I don't blame him (or the other coaches).  It's rare when the "celebrity kids" turn out to do much in college sports, anyway.  The kids have too easy of a life, so it's tough to get that work ethic that's needed to succeed at the college level. 

was listening to Husker Doc Talk with Dr Rob the other day, and he basically said that the Calibraska movement was all smoke and mirrors, with very little ACTUAL talent coming from it.  He also stated that Frost was surprised at the lack of talent when he got here.  (From someone within the program).  I wasn't surpised by the Calibraska comment, b/c I never bought into their hype, but I was surprised at the comment about "surprising lack of talent" comment.  I mean, I thought we had SOME, and that it could be teased out of the marginal guys with enough coaching.   Back on track:  I am not surprised by this article.

And Calibraska the racehorse was a loser. A real plug 

went to check out the meltdown at shaggy...but apparently that place has been abandoned.

yeah, new place is called surlyhorns i think. It's already in full meltdown mode. Several page thread calling for Tom Herman to be fired already lmao

@Redux uh, yeah they do if this article is even remotely accurate. Accountability begins at the top.

Of course they do, so why would we want to steal anyone from them?  Hard pass on injecting their disease into our situation.

They may be able to attempt to frame the AD but are they sure that the reporter who broke the story doesn't have more proof of Urb's awareness of the problem.  If the Board throws all their eggs in UM's basket then new info comes out there may be a push to cleanse the Regents seats.

Yeah I'm fine with them trying to blatantly pin this on the AD.  Exactly zero people are going to fall for that so if they actually go through with this dumb plan it will be even more of a disaster for them down the road.

This should be fun to watch.

Alex Grinch is doing good things at Washington State.

Geez last years Oregon win didn't look good as the season went on and now this year the Oregon loss looks worse and worse as the season goes on. Oregon just can't give us a break

We played 13 True freshman last night, fyi. That's including at QB. Gunna be a rough rest of the year as building process is in full swing

It will happen. Quit being negative nancies!

Would be funny if it snows a little during Frost's first spring game.

Good luck man

Best wishes!  Safe travels. 

@Vizsla1

I think the Nebraska football vs Nebraska b-ball shirt is an apples-orange comparison to the situation discussed. Wearing a Nebraska shirt to a UCF game is rubbing the UCF’s face in the dirt. You can wear some neutral shirt to the game, or even wear UCF colors. 

I am with the guys in this thread.  You don't need to wear your Husker gear to every game you go to.  You must have plain shirts that you can wear to a football game, or even black for UCF.

I root for other teams in our conference because I'm tired of the SEC rhetoric and I'm tired of the B1G being referred to as weak as well.

I think it's a travesty for Nebraska to hijack the Peach Bowl by wearing red.  Let UCF have this moment!  It makes us look like the country hicks that that many in the sports world perceives us to be!  

As for living vicariously through the other teams in our conference, I'm not for that but I like watching good football and the teams in the B1G have played some good football during these bowl games.  

Not being in a bowl game this year is humiliating. Not necessarily for the bowl game itself but that we were so bad that we couldn't even muster up 6 wins??? Embarrassing!
