  1. Yea it's going to be an issue. I'm not sure why they don't offer it. Even with an antenna, it says that I'd be getting a feed from Hayes Center and the signal is weak. I have really good internet so that isn't an issue for streaming. 

     

    Regardless of Nebraska games, I don't wanna miss primetime games and all that. 

     

    Maybe we will switch to Youtube TV.

  2. FWIW. As was stated earlier. Playing defense is always tougher when your offense is an up tempo style. I used to love up tempo back when it was becoming new. However, procedures have been added for defenses to slow the pace down due to substitution and or "injury". 

     

    I seriously look at Oregon. They have dramatically slowed down their pace even though they are still a spread offense, and the defense has improved all the way up to 37th nationally in total defense. Oregon, this season, under Cristobal have consistently ground out 15 play 6 minute drives that give their defense rest.

     

    So while tempo can give the offense gaudy numbers, but it also destroys the defensive numbers. If you don't like shoot outs where you have to outscore opponents then you're never going to be happy with Frost. There hasn't been an actual up tempo style team that has had great defense.

     

    Also. Tempo does NOT equal "Spread"

  3. If you guys honestly think Oklahoma went into that game fired up for ARMY, and VaTech came into a game fired up about a winless OLD DOMINION (who had been beaten by LIberty by 35+) then I don't know how you don't come to the conclusion of what I previously posted. 

     

    There are a lot of people on here that would then say, it's the coaches fault for not getting the kids fired up. That's BS. With the information available out there and the way kids think of themselves, looking at results of their opponents previous games etc...

     

    You don't understand. You can say all you want to a kid about playing with fire, and passion and all that stuff, but REALISTICALLY as the title of this thread says, those kids will think they can just walk all over a group that has struggled. Which in this day and age is FAR AND AWAY less true than it was 20 years ago due to the training these HS kids get all over the country compared to years ago. 85 scholly's yada yada yada.

     

    You combine all of that together. That's how you get Army and Old Dominion able to compete or BEAT Oklahoma's and VaTech's

    I don't think he said that all but okay....

     

     

     

    Yesterday Army gave Oklahoma everything it could handle. Old Dominion beat Virginia Tech by two touchdowns behind its second-string quarterback coming off the bench. There's no reason this Nebraska team can't be in the same league as Army and Old Dominion. 

     

    Yes. I think he did.

  5. So, you think that Nebraska is a program that should have underdog mentality and the opponent should treat us as such a terrible program that they come out with no fire against us.

     

    ok.

     

     

  6. It's going to be hard to recover the season. It likely won't due to these kids last 3 years in the program. 

     

    They needed to win that Colorado game to get the ball rolling. It's like this in HS and in college. The kids who have been losing, as soon as it gets bad the demeanor turns into that of a whipped puppy. Tails between the legs, etc....

     

    It's literally the worst possible start to the Frost Era and that's not because of 0-3, it's because now the buy in is questioned. 

     

    These kids don't know anything but how to lose.

    What happened to the argument that spread offenses don't require a good offensive line because they're all about getting the ball to your best athletes in space?

     

    I don’t know who ever said that but I’ve never agreed with that statement.

     

    That could have been true 10 years ago when the spread started to come into the game

    Arizona/Houston is listed as ABC/ESPN2. They will likely move it over to ESPN2 for all regions when the Nebraska game comes on, and delay the Alabama Arkansas State game coverage instead. Or they will just cut the coverage for Arizona/Houston, because there's no way as many people watch that game as watch the Nebraska or Alabama games.

     

    I’ll believe it when I see it
