Not at all. It's not tough to play in front of a crowd that doesn't have a lot to cheer about after the first quarter....unless you think our fans are going nuts when the team is down 35-0 at half. Obviously sell outs don't guarantee a win.

What's our record at home the past three years?

The question alone is nauseating.

Don't get sucked into the hype. It'll just hurt more later.

Why would we want a guy like that?

Yes, it's a derogatory term Wingo hasn't earned in this instance. Does it mean something different in the midwest?

Yes, the last few. I've been saying it for at least five

As a Stillesr fan, I am a little confused here. The Stillers lost Hargrave to the Eagles and are looking for Carlos to play DT. He's not big enough. Weird pick. As for Huskers being Steelers, it's never been a good marriage. sCUm has produced some good Stillers though.

Why is Wingo a douchebag? For reporting something Burrow has been telling people? One can argue Frost is the douchebag in this scenario for not recognizing talent and improving the team when he had a chance.

We? I have said for years that we lacked talent. But you do have a great point as I was once told that lacking talent and lacking NFL picks wasn't the same thing.

Luton got drafted ;). Oh wait, you meant Nebraska players.

I doubt LSU told him he would start on day 1. Most schools would have told him that he had a chance to start assuming he won the battle for the position.

He would have added depth. We certainly could use that considering the abilities of our backups.

Behind our o-line, Burrow would have been lucky to get drafted on the third day.

Talk about Big Brother. I read the NCAA is looking into it. I hope they nail Saban, but I also know better.

A quote taken from The Oregonian last September: "Riley went 93-80 at OSU in 14 seasons. In the four seasons since, the Beavers are 9-51." That sentence says a lot, and 9-51 is a long ways from mediocre. Riley was a terrific coach for OSU until he unofficially retired two seasons before leaving for Nebraska. You read that right. Riley stopped recruiting his last two seasons here and we hoped he would leave. He did, yet I was still stuck with him. Then we got Gary Andersen, and we rejoiced. Gary Andersen went 2-10, 4-8 and 1-5 before quiting in-season. That sentence says a lot, too. When was the last time a coach quit in-season? As for Dennis Erickson, he won with Riley's recruits and junior college guys that Riley would not have recruited due to questionable character. Guys like Chad Ochocinco Johnson who legend says never attended one class while at OSU. Erickson went 7-5, 11-1, 5-6. and 8-5. Personally I was happy with Erickson, but it wasn't all rosie. I think OSU still holds the record to personal fouls in a game in a dominating win over Notre Dame in the Fiesta Bowl. Crushing Notre Dame was sweet, yet embarrassing at the same time. You are right about saying Riley outcoached those other coaches. Riley had an opportunity to go to the Rose Bowl in back to back years. All he had to do was beat Chip Kelly and the Ducks. FTR, OSU still hasn't been to the Rose Bowl since the 1960's. In my opinion, Riley would have Nebraska as the second or third best team in the West if he were still the coach minus Diaco. Obviously not great, but better than we are now. You talk about evidence he wouldn't be wildly successful. What does the evidence say about Frost?

I can't think of too many times in my adult years where I ran around the house screaming gloriously, but the flea kicker is one of them.

The line stunk and that ruined everything else. Of course, AM not having enough support from the skill positions didn't help either.

Do northern NFL stadiums with grass field host monster truck rallies during NFL season? I know Heinz doesn't. I looked up Soldier Field and they do, but in the summer.

Is that November quip for me? https://www.times-news.com/sports/local_sports/arizona-and-indianapolis-have-best-fields-in-nfl-heinz-field/article_9e2df85b-26e5-5353-8d18-5b910e40fcb2.html The AFC’s best team has the NFL’s worst grass field. "The latest survey conducted by the players union and released Thursday showed the Pittsburgh Steelers have the least-favorite grass field. Of 1,619 players who participated, 678 chose Heinz Field’s grass, which tends to easily get torn up and often has to be resod. It was resod after high school football championship games in late November, then again after the NHL’s Winter Classic on New Year’s Day."

And how is Fieldturf at TO Field different than at High School fields?

His inability to create separation is why he got decked time after time while trying to catch high throws from Martinez over the middle? Weird take, but we're all entitled to our opinions. Even nonsensical ones.

Ohhhhhh, he got lit up a lot. I laughed earlier this week because somebody blamed his small body for his injuries and not Martinez throwing high over the middle.

Very true. NFL teams have enough money to resod their fields. My beloved Steelers resod between the hash marks every November. Heinz Field gets a lot of traffic with the Steelers, Panthers and high school playoff games taking place there. Not a lot of college teams in the north can truck up new blue grass from Kentucky during the middle of the season like the Steelers, Bears and others do. Edit to add that Heinz Field is considered one of the worst fields in the NFL year after year. I still remember a Monday Night game where a punt plugged into the turf during a rainstorm.

We've had a bunch of the local high schools go to Fieldturf and one of the selling points is that it's cheaper than grass and grass maintenance.
