They aren’t winning national championships anyway. Might as well get paid

When the big10 expands they are going to have to grab schools that have wrestling. 
 

I have never found out for sure but always been told it’s in the bylaws. So unless Kansas or whoever were to add wrestling, they aren’t coming to the Big 10.

So it would be better for the kid riding the pine to stay put to avoid taking the starting job of some kid at another school?   Damn that Joe Burrow for taking some poor LSU QB's job away.  Damn him to hell!

I'm saying that you proposed it at the betterment of one player but that also detriments another. So it comes to be moot anyway. Funny how you are defending yourself rather than just turn the light bulb on and realize this is a stupid possibility. It's going to hurt Nebraska more than help - but I guess if we can benefit 1 kid then lets do it.

I dunno.  I hate the thought of us possibly losing good players.  But it seems like it would be good for guys who are riding the pine with no chance to play.  They could at least see the field somewhere else.  I think it'd be good for players. 

 

That, and I just don't see this new transfer policy putting Frost and Co at a disadvantage.  They seem about as good as any staff at pulling in talent--both in recruiting and in transfers.   

So that way - when they transfer they can go make someone else "ride the pine"

It's like the idiot parent who starts going after the coach about playing time - well the moment the coach starts engaging about it, he starts talking about someone else's kid's playing time. 

This is a dumb thing to propose and hopefully it gets shot down. Unbelievable. This will hurt Nebraska more than it will help.

Tom Osborne needed the money

Venz got screwed today in the Journeyman Tourney today.  Lost 8-7 to Valencia in the finals which he should have been awarded a reversal at the end but wasn't. 

 

Red got smoked in the finals by Demas from OU. 

Demas is so good. Red doesn’t ever seem to wrestle his best till the lights are bright anyway. I expect Red to have a great season after January 

Watching Wyoming last night. They look better than Nebraska

Well were headed for 4-8. Why not get some youth in there. Oregon's DB's who are regarded as top15-20 group in the country have all been starting since day one.

Lenoir, Pickett, Graham Jr,

They weren't very good as freshman but they are pretty good now.

Husker wrestling is getting stronger. I gotta give it to Manning. I was upset with him after Green and Kokesh didn't even make finals, but I think this year, we could really make some noise at the national tournament.

Which i'll be going to this year, which is super exciting.

Back during the time after we fired Pelini. I was all on the Fleck train, with every goofy antic he has. He's a players coach. Plus building Western Michigan is 100 times more impressive than UCF, considering the geographics.

That statement is by no means ill will toward Frost. I think he's the right guy as I was all about him coming home too, but i'd like to see him bring energy by changing up the assistants some. I'd also like to see him go out and get some analysts like other schools do by bringing in former head coaches. I mean Butch Jones is at Alabama! Schiano is at OSU.

I get the sense that Frost is a control guy though, and that he doesn't want others opinion. (totally unfounded comment and completely non factual opinion)

Imagine what Wisconsin’s D will do to our OL. 
 

It’s a very real possibility QBs get hurt in this game. thats how awful the Greg Austin OL is

It’s not Frost. It’s the assistants 

Basketball has to suck because you recruit so many guys and only land 3-4 guys

And bowling... excuse you. 

#4 in the country in wrestling

I remember when people wanted TheSker banned for his negativity. 
 

Can’t wrap my mind around how he got it going so fast at UCF when they were freaking 0-12. 

Something in the water at the university that makes the boys soft or what?

Our fans are annoying. 

 
why I’ve stepped away from having a large presence on the board a year or 2 ago and then changed my name as well

I haven’t been to a game in Lincoln rooting for Nebraska since the Bo Pelini era.

the last game I went to in Lincoln was the Oregon game and was wearing yellow and rooting for Oregon.

fwiw I don’t like when Oregon plays NU. 

There’s a reason Oregon fans weren’t mad when he followed Scott to UCF

My fear is that this is the new normal.

It's sad to hear kids in high school talk about how they don't watch Nebraska because "they suck". I hear it all the time, as a teacher. 

I'll never blame kids for being bandwagon. They want to be fans of something they can enjoy. NU football is not enjoyable and kids these days don't see the incentive of being a Nebraska fan. Unfortunately.

There's your formation. Go with it. Hide the wienie. 

OL is just straight awful but I have never been a fan of the name Greg Austin as a player or coach.

but the problem really relies with being able to FIT with Frost. He won’t hire anyone that will yell at the players.

I’m sorry but if yelling at players and getting fired up at them is wrong then Alabama should be awful every year

When someone says something other than "oh, wait until you see him run", then I'll be in on him. 

I honestly felt he was the best passer of the bunch mechanically last spring during coaches clinic. As he develops I really think he will be VERY special.
