  1. I keep looking back at the 2014 class. Foster, Farmer, and Gates were all 4* guys on at least two sites, as was Wilbon. Back then, I thought we should have a pretty solid running game right about now. Yeah.....
  2. Yeah, there's still some who have themselves convinced that Riley is an amazing recruiter. Because what top athlete doesn't want to play for a loser of a coach? We should hang onto Riley just so he can bring in his 50th-ranked recruiting class!
  3. Here's what Osborne told Callahan when he was sitting at 4-4 like Riley is this week: http://www.huskers.com/ViewArticle.dbml?ATCLID=1325873
  4. Remember that 'the powers that be' are completely different now than they were just a couple years ago. New AD (2017) hired by a new president (2015) and a new chancellor (2016).
  5. Right, I would say Frost has much higher potential for being a long-term solution for head coach at Nebraska.
  6. The Ol' Ball Coach wants Florida to hire the Ol' Oklahoma Coach: https://florida.247sports.com/Article/Steve-Spurrier-reaches-out-to-Bob-Stoops-about-Florida-Gators-job-109786407 EDIT: But he also likes Frost: https://florida.247sports.com/Bolt/Florida-Gators-Football-Steve-Spurrier-speaks-out-on-Scott-Frost-as-UF-search-goes-on-109785754
  7. Their wedding was in AZ, at least, and it notes that their second date was there as well: https://www.brides.com/story/mountain-paradise-valley-arizona-wedding-ideas-amy-and-jordan
  8. I've noticed that it doesn't work with mobile Tweet links, so if you're on your phone, just take the 'mobile.' part out of the URL.
  9. One bit that stood out to me: I wonder how many people who raged about Bo are reading that...
  10. Which is why we can only manage 40 yards on the ground against Purdue with a stable of RBs and O-linemen that never even played a game for Bo.
  11. I assume you mean Elijah Blades. The thing is, he could have made it to campus - he was offered a partial qualifier, but apparently decided that he'd rather play at a juco. https://www.cornnation.com/2017/7/18/15988428/elijah-blades-nebraska-huskers-football-recruiting-arizona-western-junior-college
  12. The 2008 squad also benefited from having a coach with the sense to keep the D off the field as much as possible.
  13. I remember one of Callahan's favorite lines when asked about his players' performance toward the end: "It's completely correctable!" So, uhh... why isn't it being corrected?
  14. I wonder if that was part of why we ended up with Moos: some candidates might prefer to finish the academic year at their current school, or at least the current semester. Green and Bounds wanted to have someone ready to replace Riley at the end of the regular season.
  15. Well first of all, we'd have to have a rebuilding year. It's not a rebuilding year unless there's some actual building going on... Kansas City area.
  16. Hell, your standard Husker red isn't really even scarlet...
  17. How often do you see Nebraska stuff in an actual cream color, as opposed to plain white?
  18. And that's one thing often pointed to as the downfall of guys like Les Miles: they fail to evolve their offenses, and their opponents start to pass them by. A lot was made of our historic coaching staff continuity, but if you look at guys like Saban and Meyer, they seem to almost embrace having new coordinators on a regular basis. They don't seem to care so much what kind of system their new coordinator hire has run in the past, as long as they're a good coach that gets results, and they can incorporate each other's ideas. Like they know and accept that if they're really hiring the best guys, it's probably just a matter of time before their assistants get a higher-up job elsewhere. The turnover keeps things fresh and evolving. But it's kinda one of those things where you have to ask: it works there, but would it work at Nebraska? Or are we better off keeping the continuity going and hoping that our coaches can evolve things themselves?
