  1. BIG win for Nebraska! Not only does it eliminate Iowa from being the West champs and going to the CCG, but it ends our losing streak of 7 years to them! And to do it in a year where our coach is fired after only 3 games!

      I'll savor this one for awhile.

    2. I AM FOOT FOOT
  2. If it's Matt Campbell, then I'm done. Imagine waiting all of this time, hoping for a homerun hire, only to settle for Campbell. I just couldn't watch anymore if this happens. I'd have no hope left.
  3. I don't know if this was supposed to be funny, but I just snorted; water went up/down the wrong pipe.
  4. Complete rebuild from the ground up...Some one might have to come in and destroy what we have just to start anew. Like a phoenix arising from the ashes
  5. R.I.P. Husker football...the rebuild it's going to take to make this program competitive will be enormous

  6. I have this sick feeling in my stomach that OU is going to give us a royal beat down. I hope I'm wrong.

  7. I'd much rather have a coach that could potentially win 10-11 games per season, change our recruiting profile and get us talked about on the national stage again, who has a tendency to look the other way and occasionally bend the rules; as opposed to a nice coach, whom everyone likes, runs a program Mr. Clean would be envious of, but almost never has a winning record, with a bowl game once every 4 or 5 years. I think age is beginning to take its toll on some Husker fans. There was plenty of s#!t that went on during Osborne's tenure. Y'all have just conveniently decided to forget it.
  8. Exactly! Which is why this is terrible news! Imagine having to sign up for several streaming services just to catch all of Nebraska's games. And having to pay for each service, at that. Now, we're literally back to pay-per-view. The way it is now is the best we can get. You don't need any streaming. Every Husker game is either on Fox, FS1, BTN or the ESPN/ABC family. This would f#&% everything up!
  9. This is really what it boils down to. Either Frost has a winning record and takes us to a bowl game, or he's gone. No more weekly questions about his job status. No more impending doom, cloud hanging over our head, etc.. However, for that very reason, this has to be the least excited I've ever been going into a season. Most of my family and the friends made at local watch parties don't give a s#!t anymore. We are just exhausted at this point. I can't believe there are people on this board saying 5-7 or 6-6 is good enough to keep his job. Was it good enough for Solich? Callahan? Hell, even Pelini? Why should Frost be any different? What exactly is it saying if we go 6-6 or 5-7 and don't fire Frost? That it's now ok? Would Scott Frost even still be here if he weren't Nebraska's prodigal son, the last qb to give us a national championship? Every year, the watch parties here get smaller and smaller. Fewer and fewer people are maintaining interest. Sometimes I am glad I don't live in Nebraska. Y'all should really hear yourselves. It's like living in a bubble. You can only hear what fellow Nebraskans are saying and are ignoring the outside world. You want to keep Frost if he goes 5-7 or 6-6; with this weak schedule compared to last year's? Fine, but don't expect the sellout streak to continue. Don't expect anyone to mention us in the media unless it's to lament how far we've fallen. You're worried about what message it might send if we fire another coach? Fine. Don't fire him and see how apathetic potential recruits get toward our program and continual losing seasons. I am sure if Frost doesn't have a winning season next year, he'll get it done in his 8th, 9th or 10th season....
  10. So, who's going to be our QB next season? I haven't been following closely. Thompson, Purdy, Torres?

      @TonyStalloni Not trolling...I haven't been following the QB competition.

      Sorry....I probably could have stated it differently. I don't recognize sarcasm very well and several people here use it. Thompson (most starting experience), Purdy (good talent and quarterback mindset) and Smothers (4th year in the program and did well in his first start vs Iowa) are quite a ways ahead of Harburg, Torres and the rest of the walk on QBs. Jarrett Synek is a walk on who looked very good in the spring game I thought.

  11. The Giants/Dodgers games are going to be epic this season. They're the two best teams in baseball.
  12. That's a f@#*&* champ right there.
  13. Has anyone ever used the windshield wipes from the 99 cent store on your car? I was thinking of using them on my dirty headlights.

      Are they foggy or just dirty?  I've used toothpaste and baking soda in the past.

  14. They've set Monday as the deadline. Anything after that and it's a shortened season.
  15. The only logical explanation I can come up with is it will be a helluva lot easier to win at USC than at OU, especially when they end up moving to the SEC. Otherwise, this is a strange decision. OU have no problem recruiting, a large and devoted fan base, supportive donors, etc. It must come down to easier competition in the Pac 12.
  16. This actually gives me a reason to watch the game. I was just going to DVR it and watch it later if we won, but this is something to look forward to. I know, I'm grasping at straws, but it's all I have left.
  17. Imagine how much easier our schedule would be year in and year out if we had stayed in the Big 12.

      @RedDenver Maybe so. It’s getting really hard to figure out who is serious about what anymore. I’ve seen some pretty wild stuff in the last couple weeks :lol:

      People gave us so much s#!t for leaving the Big 12. Now that Texas and OU are gone, who would we lose to? OK State? Our road would be so much easier. Now, we have Ohio State, Michigan, Penn State, Wisconsin and, surprisingly, Michigan State. Unless we get a brand new coaching staff who knows what the f#&% they are doing, I don't see us competing for the Big 10; hell, I don't even know if we are even close to competing for the Big 10 West.

      @JJ Husker sorry, looks like I was wrong. OP is for some reason not being sarcastic.

  18. I know this is made half-jokingly, but if Martinez is indeed our quarterback next year, I don't think I could watch any more of the games. I think our fan base is just exhausted at this point. If Frost stays, wholesale changes need to made; new QB coach, new OL coach, new special teams coach. Hell, we might even need a new OC. If we lose the remaining 2 games, I feel this program will be at a precipice.
  19. On foxsports.com/replays, it has a lock sign on all of the games. Does anyone know how to access them?

  20. Does anyone know where I can see a replay of the game? I missed the first half.

  21. Ohio State will win in a blowout and here's why: talent. The gap in talent will be unlike anything we've seen this season. The difference in talent between Purdue and Ohio State is like night and day. I would be shocked if we kept it within 1 score. It would be an absolute miracle if we ended up pulling the upset, especially for an 11 am start. However, I will be cheering on the Huskers, like I do every week.
  22. We should do everything in our power to get Luke Fickell; just look at what he's done in a very short time at Cincinnati. He also knows the Big Ten very well, due to his time at Ohio State. I also like Mel Tucker, though taking this job would be a lateral move for him, so I don't see that happening.
  23. Great! Now I won't have to make plans on going to the bar! These early kickoffs suck.
  24. There's no benefit to firing Frost with only 3 games left in the season. Hopefully, Trev has stood up and taken notice. Hopefully, he already has a list and is making calls. If what is said is true, that Frost didn't even address the team after the game, he might have already given up; in which case, you have to fire him. But do it after the season. We're not going to a bowl game anyway; not with 6 losses, soon to be 7.
