Memorial Stadium is Probably tougher then most of the places that we typically play on the road
What's our record at home the past three years?

The question alone is nauseating.

And I am hoping to see drastic improvement from day one TBH. Everything I read (pre-season BS pumping) really seems like Lubick and Auston want the O to go in a different direction than the last 2 seasons. Same scheme, but achieving it in a different manner.
Don't get sucked into the hype. It'll just hurt more later.

Read a quote that LSU knew what they got when they got Joe.....Recruited by another Nebraska guy...
"You know, I think they found me," said Burrow, immediately pointing to the way Busch sold him to LSU head coach Ed Orgeron. "Coach Busch stood on the table for me with Coach 'O.' He was like, 'If we get this guy, we're going to win the national championship.'"
That's almost the way Busch remembers it.
"I know this for sure: I told Coach Orgeron we'll get to the (four-team) playoff for sure if we get Joe," Busch recalls. "I believe I told Joe we'll win it all if we get him. I knew how good we were around him. I knew we had dudes. But the biggest thing, and the reason I was on the table for Joe so hard, was because I knew how competitive and how tough he was."
Why would we want a guy like that?

That would be an interesting argument and a waste of time - do you know the definition of douchebag?
Yes, it's a derogatory term Wingo hasn't earned in this instance. Does it mean something different in the midwest?

There have been numerous people saying the team has lacked talent for the past few years.
Yes, the last few. I've been saying it for at least five

This puzzles me. Team that runs a 3-4 defense drafting a dl better suited for a 4-3. (And i base this thought off of what i read here.)
Aside from that, i cant complain. The stillers have needed more huskers for years.
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 follow this team and these players so closely we get biased and think we’re better than we are. The proof is right here in front of us now. We have failed miserably at recruiting and developing talent and it is very clear right now via the last two drafts and likely next year as well.
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.

If Jackson doesn't get drafted, that'll be two straight years without a Riley recruit getting drafted.
Might get a couple next year but that's pretty poor.
Luton got drafted ;). Oh wait, you meant Nebraska players.

Burrow was looking for a school where he would start right away. He wasn't going to settle for being a back-up. That's why he transferred from Ohio State in the first place.
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.

As others have stated, the ultimate blame for Burrow not being a Husker is due to Pelini and Beck. They were the ones who didn't recruit Burrow in the first place. Nobody expected Burrow to blossom to what he did in his senior year, and any blame on Frost for not bringing him in as a transfer is 20-20 hindsight.
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.

Not NU related, but Alabama has sent all of their players Apple Watches so that they can keeps tabs of the activity while they are away from campus.
Talk about Big Brother. I read the NCAA is looking into it. I hope they nail Saban, but I also know better.

Those are all great selling points for the guy, but due diligence would also show that the guy had a career .500 record and was never in any sort of championship discussion outside of Canada.
I never bought the idea that Riley turned around one of the worst programs ever (Bill Snyder he ain't). When he left Oregon State for a couple of years, Dennis Erickson quickly came in and took them to a BCS bowl. Riley returned and they went back to being a mediocre program. It is also disingenuous to say that he outcoached Carroll, Harbaugh, and Kelly. In what, one game? One big upset every year or two is not a career.
Yes, there was reason for optimism (one of the reasons being we were stuck with him for a couple years no matter what), but at no time did the evidence actually suggest that he was going to be wildly successful here.
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?

Again, my point was he’s never finished a whole season. Some on here would like to blame AM for all the offenses issues, giving others a pass. It’s shared amongst all of them, coaching staff included.
The line stunk and that ruined everything else. Of course, AM not having enough support from the skill positions didn't help either.

Many NFL stadiums hosted extra events like monster trucks, supercross, rodeo, concerts, etc. Strip sod machine & cut off poor roots and then hauled dirt. After events, remove dirt and resod without roots. Our Memorial stadium hosted monster truck show?
Resod. Fully recover -- it takes several months
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.

That's right. End of the year ........ December and then January. Not November.
In November. Spartan Field (natural grass). East Lansing is colder than Lincoln.
Penn St at MSU. In November.
Is that November quip for me?
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."

High school football fields was much different than T.O. Field.
Putt putt golf was the same as Masters golf course? Little league=New York Yankees? Sam's cola=Genuine Coca-Cola?
And how is Fieldturf at TO Field different than at High School fields?

Or could it be the game of football is going to mean you’re going to get hit. JD hasn’t gone through a whole season yet without at least sitting for a game or two. Could it be his inability to create separation, nah, you’re right can we get bunch back.
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.

What would be the cost and maintenance for necessary heating elements underneath a grass field in Memorial Stadium? That's what enables Denver, Kansas City, Green Bay, Chicago, etc., to have grass fields in colder environments? Those fields still start to look like crap and need sod replaced near the end of the year.

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.

Actually in the long term, Fieldturf is more expense than grass. Every seven years, FieldTurf replacement. Plus, disposal cost (just like car tires).
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.

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.
