This is the first time since 1957 Nebraska has been 0-2.

 

Nebraska went 1-9 that year.

 

Does anyone know the last time Nebraska was 0-3?

I'm gonna guess 1957

Actually I see little benefit in playing a starter game after the season is over......especially considering they hightailed it. I don't see it happening......should've been played today.

If we end up 5-6 I bet you'd see the benefit.

GBR ME ASAP

Heck, why not? Its Kool-Aid season until kickoff for us. Let's aim for unrealistic predictions. 12-1 B1G champs and a playoff berth this year!!! Frost dethrones Saban!

12-1?

lmao who is going to beat us?!?! GTFO with this pessimism

RIP 2024

Jesus Christ, this thread is a disaster.

Nice!  You'd think Hader, being from OK, would have at least feigned a rivalry with her to make it interesting.

Based on his comments I doubt he even knows the teams used to play each other.

But you nor I know that. I know we should play the best available player and continue to recruit the position trying to find someone better. You know we should maybe redshirt our best QB so that he can play in 2022, even though it could possibly be in the NFL instead of Nebraska.

I don't claim to know anything, I am speculating. You come around and spout your opinion like it is fact non stop. If you read what I wrote I very clearly weighed some of the pros and cons to both approaches.... BECAUSE THERE ARE PROS AND CONS TO BOTH APPROACHES.

That’s the point though isn’t it? If we had Tommie Frazier right now, and we knew he was Tommie Frazier, would you say redshirt him right now or play him?

No, the point is we don't, and we won't. Talent like that is rare.

Lol, so this line of thinking says Martinez will be the only good QB Frost will land, so we should save him so that we have him when our team has a chance, because after that there will be no chance for Frosty to even have a mediocre QB....

 

How about Martinez starts now and we land a good QB in every class to compete with him and then the best man takes over when ever he graduates or they pass AM on the depth chart?

lol you're the expert lol

Just get more Tommie Fraziers lol, every year lol, just get a new one, good call im dumb

I’ve heard this before. What do we want to wait for if he is already the better guy? I

 

why not play the guy suited for your offense if he is already the best guy? Not saying he is for sure, but if Frost thinks he is, he isn’t going to say, alright, we’re going to RS you and start our 2nd best QB.

Because there are enough other missing pieces on the team in this transition year that we may not gain much from playing him. Perhaps, even though he is the better guy saving him makes the most sense in the long run.

The ceiling isn't that very this year. Transition year. New coach in every position. Really tough schedule.

I would understand either way Frost goes here. Get the best guy in place and play him, or teach him up and save some eligibility when he is closer to his prime. It's not hard logic to follow, really. Just depends what Frost wants to do.

I understand your argument, and I have stated why I disagree. It’s clear you either don’t care or aren’t listening to what I say so let’s leave it at that. 

I agree with your logic, but as a fan I think this season will be more fun to watch Martinez play, even if it doesn't get us any extra wins with the death schedule. I know it's short sighted, but I'm greedy I guess.

Hopefully it works for you. But I just noticed that although I cancelled the sports package and just have the $40 Access package, I'm still getting BTN and all the sports channels, so also a possibility that my account is messed up. (Not that I'm complaining.)

The former CEO of Vue resigned, the new guy is getting rid of all the bad policies, so imo at this point this is the best service hands down. I haven't looked at the others for over 6 months so they likely changed as well.

What? I've watched just about everything on my laptop on the road at a hotel that I can get on my Roku at home. I haven't logged into any of those other apps.

Oh, well interesting. A quick google search shows it changed 4-5 months ago. I took a  traveling job in October of last year and it didn't work.

I went through last football season with only PS Vue. I don't remember all the differences but I tried Hulu live, Youtube TV and Directv Now and concluded PS vue was the best bang for the buck.

Deal breakers with other services:

Channel Packages

Lack of DVR

Crap interface

Worst part of PS Vue:

Can only watch from home, to watch anything outside of your home network you have to use that channels service and log in with your PS Vue password, so you need a million apps to leave the house. (WatchESPN, BTN2GO, etc, etc,) I travel a lot so this is a pain.

Edit: The CEO of Vue resigned in November, and the new guy changed this policy.

PS Vue usually has a free 15 day trial, so if you want it for just the spring game it would be free...

So OSU the winner? 

They break it down in the reddit post. They break it down by number of counties, square miles, population, etc so the ranking can vary.

Really?

He probably sees how much effort he'll be required to give and wants no part of it.

The NFL will not be easier than NU under Frost, certainly not if a player wants a long career, and Gates isn't going there to escape workouts.

So you don't like the truth.  That is not my problem.

I never said you were technically incorrect, I said it was a dumb argument. If he doesn't perform SIGNIFICANTLY better in the NFL than he did in '17 he basically just quit football. He is going to have to work out if he wants to perform better.

If you can't see that, you're wasting all of our time commenting here, but we already knew that.

In the NFL, no one makes you workout.

That's an incredibly weak, stupid argument and you know it.

Because the NFL will be such a cakewalk...
