    I agree completely.  You also can’t go off just my point of view as a citizen of Omaha.  I can tell you for a fact what Omaha doesn’t think they are better than anyone else in the state… they just have their own crap to worry about.  

    Grew up in small town. Been in Omaha working in huge schools for 18 years. The kids aren’t going to Nebraska because we suck. They have better options with better weather. I don’t think they lack in pride. They are proud to be from Omaha. If you’re a young person from Omaha that is a high level athlete, you have more in common with others from large Metro areas than you do with somebody from Chadron. Are people from Chicago proud of Illinois, or are they a Chicago kid?

    Also, Omaha definitely sees themselves as above the rest of the state. Conversely, the rest of the state  believes in the “Omaha a$$h@!e” stereotype.

    Fenway Park has always been one of my bucket list stadiums. Legendary, iconic, unique. I dreamed of going there.

     

    I went there in 2019. Got some pretty great seats on the First Base line, looking out at the Green Monster.

     

    Absolutely hated it.

     

    The seats were TINY. I'm 6'2" and I do NOT fit in those seats. I origami'd myself into that seat for four innings. And then we left, and I never want to go back.

     

    There's something to be said about iconic old stadiums. But the reality is, no matter how much history they have, some of these old parks are just s#!te. They aren't built for today, and without major renovations they will drive away future fans.

     

    It doesn't matter how much we love what Memorial Stadium was. It'll become a relic if we don't upgrade it to what modern people want.

    Something like Green Bay has done to Lambeau would be awesome. Still iconic but yet updated a little at a time.

    Cerni was the one who punted the wrong way on that ill fated return.  Not Przystup.  Przystup got benched for shanking one earlier in the game.

    That’s EXACTLY what he is saying. The OTHER punter is not worth his scholarship…

    Wanda let Robinson just won a bowl game for his team so I’m going to go with huge loss.  Having a player like that this year, a few of those close games go our way.  

    Yep. 10 catches 170 yards. He had to go to Kentucky to beat Iowa…

    If Cristobal leaves for Miami does that open up a possibility of us going after Dickerson and/or trying to flip Devon Jackson?

    Devon is not going to Nebraska. Was never even a little interested.

    Bellvue West does.  But again, it could be the coaches perception.  not reality.  Bottom line, easier to get kids to NU if we start winning.

    Bolded: When we didn’t have P5 level players, our coaches complained about the same thing. Bellevue West I can’t speak to, but all of those kids had offers. Huffman is also a d!(k, so…

     

    Underlined:

    Enough Omaha people are making the comment of a lack of effort and importance the staff is putting in Omaha. Frost sends Ruud to Omaha, but Frost rarely makes the trip himself.  Frost should be going to Omaha every Friday to see coaches and visit players during the season. 

    You expect the head coach who has also been the offensive coordinator to travel to Omaha the day before games?

     

    Ruud is there a lot, because it is his area. We see Frost probably 3-4 times a year.

    Allegedly Bellevue West was mentioned on another board.  Also said Omaha coaches haven't seen a lot of frost and Co.  Might be their (coaches) perception, but the rumor (right or wrong) is out there.

    Well they are at Burke all the time. Recruited Jackson hard early, offered a freshmen LB already. 
     

    Maybe a lot of those schools don’t have good enough players to warrant a visit?

    I was responding to the bolded.  4 years and the kids are probably sick of his BS.  The buck stops with the man at the top.  They are no longer buying in.  I have mentioned ad nauseam that high have been impressed with Frost's recruiting despite our lack of success.  That the recruits must really like his vision.  Obviously with our stellar 77th ranked class, the recruits no longer believe this.  Coupled with alleged rifts between metro Omaha coaches and Frost.  Just saying, something is going on in Lincoln that none of us are privy to....

    The bolded, not seen that. Quite the opposite actually.

    I’m concerned that Willy Korn may be just a couple of the band members in a trench coat. Does he play bagpipes?

    I believe so, also heard he’s a sucker for board games. Shoots and Ladders being his favorite.
