From Bovada Nebraska is -23 I'm sorry but its a night game in Lincoln and Frost's first game. I love this line.

Damn Maryland jumped to 5. I was thinking about putting down on them at 4.5. If it weren't for all their injuries they had at QB last year they would have had a nice year.

So the mass they are building will obviously help them shed the bad weight later. It's not going to be instantaneous. However I posted this back when I did my recap of the coaches clinic in April. Khalil Mack was the example on how he came in weighing 219 and 15% BF, left the program at 265 and 7% BF. Don't get too worried about weight gain, considering I don't think Frost's philosophy is about Speed as much as it is about Playing fast and processing fast in the mind. He never said anything about making sure were slim enough to out run everyone. He wants to play physical football. He just wants to do it from the spread. Which is completely possible and some people tend to think that "physical" means Stanford....not even close.

Can I get my name changed to "Scratchtown" Thanks!

I like the N on the front hip of the pants. Im not a fan of stripes on the pants, said it for years that I hate it. I also don't like the black shoes, BUT, if we were to go with black shoes it has to be with white socks. I hated the black shoes and black calf high socks we had in the mid 2000's I'm not a big fan of the Adidas logo being under the Husker patch either but I don't really care either. I would really like to see All white uni's without the stripes on the pants with that chrome lettering and facemask. Or, do a throwback uni to the "old gold knights" and use UCF's stuff without the "UCF"

Also, no school donning Adidas has made the playoff either.

So Volleyball and what were the Wildcards? Wrestling?

It was already taken care of, I was just acknowledging what was omitted instead of reiterating what was already said in the quote I was responding to. I appreciate calling me hypocritical which I am not. i forgot I’m in the extreme left tribal echo chamber

Yea, you're right. You can't forget to also mention those on the left who are applauding Sanders being kicked out who are still crying about the bakery. But, it's huskerboard so we can't show any sort of neutrality can we.

When reading that, it sounds like to me that his goals are not to be committed to the game of football and he used it as a means to get free schooling. Can't use those type of guys. Obviously want our kids to be committed to their academics but you can do both. I like that we are rooting these guys out of the locker room -- I abhor the "don't care" attitude (Not that Decker truly didn't care, just read it as that)

He (Dewitt) was talking about OLB pass coverage. I didn’t go see the DB coach edit: oops I see your sarcasm now

Ok, I'm sorry I made you all wait for this and it's probably not going to be as in depth as you'd like but here goes. Coach Frost - Opened the clinic real positively by emphatically praising the number of coaches in attendance (640 which spanned across many states) - Emphasized playing and practicing fast, attacking each piece of the program fast - Showed us film of UCF and how he likes to formation people to death. The more formations the more opponents have to spend time in practice lining up. - Each one of his playcalls fall under the categories of "Tempo", "Motion", or "Unique Formation" - Emphasized relationships and made the comment about each player has a story, he wants to know each one. Coach Duval (Best one of the day) - This guy will completely change the culture of the weight room for NU. - Left in 2001, said this place was unrecognizable when he got back - Absence of Husker Power Logo (lifter squatting) - Praised Mike Arthur and Boyd Epley - Increase Lean Body Mass, decrease body fat - emphasis on lifting heavy and emphasis on vertical jump (if Vert is improved, everything else will -- Pro Agility, 10 yd dash, 40 yd dash etc) - Khalil Mack at Buffalo - As freshman weighed 219, 15% BF, 32 inch Vert --- As Senior weighed 265, 7% BF, 42 inch vert -- Squatting 900 lbs - No offers but Buffalo as senior in HS Coach Held - Talked about RB's - vision lining up with Frost - talked about various technique and Inside Zone scheme. Play fakes - Phenomenal coach Coach DeWitt - Outside backers are in special hands. - OLB's have to play various technique - Head up TE, Outside TE, etc... - Shock - Lock - Escape (engaging blockers and shedding) - Everything about this position is VIOLENT - won't have it any other way - CTS/DVE (Collision the S#!T out of them/Deny Vertical Entry) - fancy way of jamming receivers - rerouting is with feet and body, not hands I unfortunately missed practice the next morning due to the coaches social the night before. You know how that goes. Wasn't too happy about it, but I just can't handle the next day anymore like I used to if I go to hard the night before. Sorry! I know it's probably not exactly what you all wanted but the bottom line is that this thing is in great hands. I could feel the culture being changed while I was there. I've been to a Pelini Clinic and a Mike Riley Clinic, and man oh man...my eyes were opened to a whole different world when it comes to college coaches. These guys have the "it" factor and each one I heard speak talked about unified vision and their love for Coach Frost and how Scott is an incredible human being to his players. The theme that kept coming up was RELATIONSHIPS. With players, staff, community.

I don’t want to pee in anyone’s Cheerios, and I’ll be listening to Greg Austin today during small group sessions at the Clinic, but, is it not ironic that one of the players included in the last decades “weakest” area of the team is now leading our OL? disclaimer: I really believe in this whole staff including Austin. I just thought it was funny. Obviously great coaches didn’t have to be great players

Don’t like it. Don’t post in it

What's the definition of "homerun"? Speed? Speed+Agility? Great Scheme and execution and talented OL can give the appearance of homerun threat as well. Although I agree that Ahman was a homerun threat. I always felt Helu could have been that guy, but severely limited by anemic OL play.

@RedDenver That first year with Frost at UCF is also a team that was 0-12 the year before. The talent on this NU squad is much better than the 4 wins they got last year. UCF's talent returned....I don't know anything about but you have to either be a terrible terrible coach to go 0-12, or just not have the horses. I would think it was the lack of horses, considering O'Leary took them to a BCS bowl once.

Apathy cured. I will say for those talking about tickets. My buddy who is a donor bought all 20 tickets for a group of us old High School pals and our wives to go and sit together. I am pumped! I’m pretty sure a very large portion goes to the teammates mentoring program as well.

Even Im going!

He's not getting drafted.

600 level is best. I love the view. I was lucky to sit in west stadium club level once. Have a buddy that just gave me his ticket to get in. I wouldn't pay for it.
