  1. The streak ends in five days. I just got an email from the LJS quoting Frost begging people to come to the game. I can buy tickets direct from the UNL-AD right now. Coivd has people scared and the product on the field has people wondering if we win two games this year. If we win less than five games it wont matter if we keep Frost, thousands wont turn out for anything next year no matter who we hire.
  2. Get out of your bubble and you'll realize no one cares anymore.
  3. It seems its what we've been talking about since joining the Big, and we b!^@hed about it during the Big 12 days, and the Big 8. Refs are terrible.
  4. Jack Mitchell can suck an egg. Who gives a crap about the refs when you get your s*&t pushed in by Illinois?
  5. Possibly. I think there will be dump trucks full of excuses about this season, and not just here [Cough] Michigan [Cough] Lincoln media was hedging in the days to kickoff at tOSU. I'm so numb to it I have no idea in the end, probably why I set my expectations so low, I have no reason to hope.
  6. At least go 500 and be competitive in all they drop. This season was seemed to be toted as "if we win great if not COIVD". No clue f that holds true if we win one game tho.
  7. 100% This. No more until they actually earn it. Or just get rid of it
  8. Another year and another wheelbarrow full of excuses.
  9. Those people waiting for tickets are getting scarce. With better TV coverage, a continued poor product on field and the fact games continue to get longer with more pauses in the action makes for a worse experience in the stands. Evidence can be seen with NU slowly removing seats and reports of tickets remaining deep into the summer a few years ago.
  10. Let mine lapse about eight years ago. Took the "donation" and turned it into a 65 inch plasma and enjoy watching from home. I was mainly sick of the people around me selling their seats 95% of the time and only showing for the "big" games and when they did show they'd spend most of their time telling people to sit down. Now we tailgate and head home when the rest go to the stadium. We can pick up BBQ on the way and still make it home before kick off.
  11. Who is "we" if you mean The Committee, then no they never applied that logic, see 13 months ago.
  12. Considering the only way you get a good seat at Nebraska is to "donate" I don't see an issue with this.
  13. This isn't an NCAA event, the bowl system is outside NCAA control. The BCS computers picked that game and that event was the watershed moment when everyone agreed something had to be done, taking us to the committee. The old Champ-game-pick-a-matron has Clemson v OU.
  14. Cow Terd called it right. No one stacks their schedule like Alabama. They won't play on the road, they load cupcakes at the end.
  15. Might as well jettison the CCG....

     

  16. Best possible outcome. Not a long-term solution since he's 64, he should get things moving the right direction.
  17. ITT: Thinking we play in the CCG in year three is "low expectations"
  18. Have you seen the crap Nebraska "fans" have been spewing all over their boards? It's absolutely pathetic and embarrassing. Are you trolling them? Your posts make it sound like you are.
  19. KLIN News crews heading into work.

  20. Solich had best overall situation. Fans, legacy etc. All on his side. Bo was second. A fan fav, hand picked by the Lord God almighty, he rode in on a wave of renewed optimism for the program with an AD that promoted long-term stability over hastily made decisions. BC probably next, somewhat polarized fanbase, still had some talent. MR really had it bad. A confused and concerned fan base, further spit over Bo being let go. Years of blowouts and mediocrity, he was placed in a bad spot and unfortunately wasn't up to the task.
  21. Honestly, I was shocked it wasn't today, yesterday and last week. If it is Frost and he is undefeated I'm ok with him being announced and returning to UCF to lead them in their Bowl game, those players deserve nothing less. Honestly, those few weeks won't make or break anything, NU is a steaming pile that will take years to fix, three weeks away won't make that much difference in the long term.
  22. Former HCMR did not have win/loss on his contract. No NCAA coach does, they may get a bonus for winning certain things but they are not contractually punished for losses. He agreed to follow the NCAA rules, paint the program, University and State in a good light, encourage his players to fulfill their educational requirements and probably had some kind of "morals' clause. MR upheld all of that. We fired him for losing games, he didn't violate anything on his contract, he deserves that money, sorry if you are so angry you cant see that.
