Seriously .. stop

Good on you for taking them to their first Husker game. That’s a lifelong memory you’re creating ! Hunt down the Fairbury hotdog guy and have them watch “der Wienerschlinger” in action. Check out the trophies, stand along the street and watch the band march in , get a picture with Herbie and Lil Red, make sure they have a balloon for the first score, buy them a game program.. And have fun ! I know you will !

I feel your pain.. I work with some Iowa grads. I did get a chuckle out of your post because it could start .. “ dear Lord, I don’t ask for much ...”

Frost misses his guys and the weather. But regretting it? No. Coaches are good at closing a book and moving on.

Memorial Stadium has not lost its “it factor”. When you’ve attended a big game over the years — Oklahoma, Texas, Colorado , Wisconsin, Iowa it even Miami a few years back — there is a certain charge in the air and the stadium is electric — and you can just feel it in the air, the atmosphere is different and you can just feel the energy. Now compare those atmospheres to NU vs Mid Directional State U and even the clapping during the fight song is quieter. Problem is, our psychology and history is geared towards not getting so hyped up for NU vs Northwestern for example, and therefore the stadium isn’t hyped up — less intimidating— and now we see mid- level and lower level teams not effected by the home crowd. Case in point - Colorado this year— the crowd was rocking and Colorado barely won. Troy — the crowd was a dud. No energy .. and the rest is history .

I think Solich, Callahan (with a better d-coordinator), and Pelini all would have had Iowa/Ferentz-like success at NU.

I think that the Michigan player was correct. After that early interception, you could just see how that deflated Nebraska’s morale. I also believe the quote because this is the exact same thing that Nebraska players used to say in the 80s-90s after they relentlessly pounded opponents into submission with over 400 shove it in your face rushing yards and a Blackshirt defense with a “meet me at the quarterback” attitude. Michigan player was right and the truth hurts.

“After the first series, when we went back out there, we just knew they wanted to give up,” he said. “You could just see it in their eyes. It's not anything I can really put into words (but) you could tell by the way a receiver is running his route, or the way you get blocked or the type of passion they're playing with. We just sensed they didn't have it, so we used it to our advantage.” quote from a Michigan defender.

Good post , and yeah I thought the same thing. Made me upset to see them joking around. The younger guys will react to the limits that the older guys allow. The older guys are used to a losing culture . It needs to change and I think Frost will get it done.

What ?! Frost came here to fix it and put Nebraska Football back on top where it belongs. He’s not going to say ... well.. see ya later .. after an 0-3 start.

When Frost made the comment about buy-in during his post game, I was surprised because my first thought was about how could there possibly be a guy on that roster— after all they’ve been through — that could possibly not buy in to this new staff. According to Farmer’s comments, it must he happening .

Turnovers, penalties, coaching strategy and the quality of depth at QB. Flip those three things and this team is undefeated at this point. Also- I’m tired of reading about the Akron excuse and not having a chance to fine tune things — you gotta be ready to play anytime, any opponent.

I hope you’re right, even though the universe is saying different. Football comes down to the battle up front and our o-line hasn’t given me much confidence that they are going to be able to handle a big, aggressive D-line.

A Big Ten team should not lose at home to a team from the Sun Belt no matter what string quarterback is playing in whomever head coach’s first season.

I’m with you there !

Yeah , you’re right, I admit it. But dang it .. poor clock management was such a huge factor in this game. Live by up-tempo , die by up - tempo. Not sure why they didn’t run the clock when they could have. That was the difference .

Scott Fraud. Coaching lost this game. This isn’t f-in PlayStation football.

During my years, students had the front section of South stadium closest to East, and the same sections as today, in East. I think moving the students to the top corner of South is a problem and I’d love to see it get flipped back to the way it was.

I’d say he was the player of the game for sure.

I’m with you .

Special teams did well on the touch back.

That picture is striking

Not since the urban sombrero caught on..

We’ll all stick together, in all kinds of weather
