      Building up the Oline/LB cores 1 WR and TE at a time haha.

      Honestly, recruiting a body type who can end up at a number of different positions is a good strategy.  This also probably means that Hickman from Burke plays TE.

      @ColoradoHuskI'm perfectly fine with it if the coaches think it's good for the kids and if the kids think they can handle the position.  I want the best players out there and I want us in the hunt again, if this is what it takes, get the kids into positions that help them and us for the best.

  2. "It seems like every single play, Garrett Gilbert is picking himself up off the ground".  Music to my ears.

      I enjoyed the movie, had plenty of parts that cracked me up, nothing in it tops the snazzleberries part from the first one though.

  4. And on the 6th day, Frost created Husker football, and it was good. GBR!!!

  5. Another gone in 2019, RIP the Captain, now it's just Tennille.  Love will keep us together.

      First concert date - at the Nebraska State Fair. Had to finish early so they could get ready for the tractor pull.

  6. Antonio Brown released by the Raiders, wonder if any other team will want to deal with his BS.

    1. teachercd

      teachercd

      I imagine New England...where he will have an amazing year and win a ring...then get traded for like 10 picks.

  7. At least i'm already numb to losing thanks to the previous years.  I saw some improvement but then again I saw the same old BS as previous years.  It's easy now to give Frost the benefit, I'm long past getting angry at losing and come to expect it.  Frost, please make us better.

      I believe there was improvement in many areas, but “same old BS” = bad penalties, bad special teams, D not causing turnovers, D giving up 3rd & longs

    3. HuskerInLostWages

      HuskerInLostWages

      @ladyhawkethe stupid penalties at the most inopportune times basically.  I have grown accustomed to them, so I expect them as well as the turnovers.  They are still the same so i am numb to them.

    4. ladyhawke

      I agree that there are still remnants of the bad coaching, very poor strength and conditioning, from the previous staff but, would you agree that it’s going to take some time to purge these things? It’s almost like Scott has had to start from scratch to rebuild this team. 

      I like what I saw and am willing to put the rest aside hoping that this new staff will be able to use this game as a tool to improve play.   

  8. Coach Snyder needs to call it quits after this season, he does not look well.

    1. ColoradoHusk

      ColoradoHusk

      The crazy thing is that K-State gave Grandpa Snyder an extension before the season. I’m sure they did it for recruiting purposes, but it wasn’t a great decision. I think Snyder is still angling for his son to be the next coach at KSU.  

  9. Did they just say Lebron James sent the OSU players all a pair of beats headphones?  Isn't that a violation?

    1. Nebfanatic

      Nebfanatic

      I'm sure there is a loophole. If not, then yes it would be

    2. Nebfanatic

      Nebfanatic

      So I just looked it up and yes it's a loophole. James got Beats to donate the headphones to the university who then included said headphones in the bowl gift packages 

    3. HuskerInLostWages

      HuskerInLostWages

      Welp, this loss is due to Lebron James donating headphones yo the OSU players.  

  10. Great pick up tonight if you all didnt know, Welcome aboard Myles.

      Isn't it a little early to be judging the 18 year olds from the 2018 class on whether they are difference makers yet?

    3. tmfr15

      tmfr15

      I get what you're saying on premature predictions, but Rivals say the 5.9 and 5.8 guys with four stars are the difference makers. We are piling up the 5.6 and  5.7 guys with three stars. I have been saying for a long time that balanced classes with eight or so highly rated players would be the set up that would put us in the upper end when it comes to on field results. We got five highly rated guys. Do we get three more? Does it even matter? Are ratings not to be trusted?

       

    4. HuskerInLostWages

      HuskerInLostWages

      @tmfr15we see what he got at UCF and they are currently on a 23 game win streak and those were 3 and 4 stars with speed.  We just have to wait and see what we have.  Frost seems to find guys who fit his system and flourish, so let us wait and see.

  11. Happy 243rd to my brothers and sisters.  Semper Fi.

      I think we deserve as much credit as they do for making their RB rosters look so impressive

      Doesn't he know he's supposed to wait until a week before their first game to make this decision?

      I'm surprised Coan isn't gone too - it was pretty clear the coaches are all in on Mertz when they burned Coan's redshirt to play a mediocre, disinterested Miami team in a low tier bowl game. Chryst could've suited back up at QB to win that game, they just don't want Coan (or anyone) on scholarship for the extra year.

  13. How much money does NU lose tonight?  They pay Akron they refund ticket prices, that has to be a pretty penny.

    1. Cdog923

      Cdog923

      They should probably try to recoup the payment to Akron for the game itself, especially if they were the ones who didn't want to play on Sunday. 

  14. I lost my bet so I had to shave my beard, I now look 18 again but with grey's and a get off my lawn attitude.  I was actually ID'd getting beer by a lady who see's me every few days buying a 12 pack, she didnt even recognize me.

  15. I love how Banks stated that Saban was real excited to get his commit.  It's just another day for that guy kid, if he doesn't get you he will get someone better than you or at the very least the same as you.  He doesn't care either way.

  16. Io_a fans already chirping about the loss, even more so than fluffer fans.

      Well they can cause their program wins games they are supposed to.

  17. Iowa getting help from the refs, late hit and targeting, targeting call over turned late hit never called.  Crown of the helmet to the side of Illinois QB and almost 3 steps after the pass.

  18. Is it just me or is the guy from the latest Arby's commercials, Bob from Bob's Burgers?  I've seen the commercials for months and only just no realized it.

  21. My friends in Lincoln, please keep an eye out for my cousin who is currently missing since 8pm last night.  Her name is Cathy Wysocki and she was driving a 2017 Jeep Compass(black).  She recently had neck surgery and is epileptic.  Lincoln PD has been notified but no one has heard from her since last night.

  23. Paul Johnson to retire at GT, going to miss seeing the option run

      I thought he would've been a good choice in 2007. Something that's always stood out to me since then, though, was how low his recruiting classes were ranked, despite recruiting to a major university in the south. Take Paul Johnson out of Georgia and make him try to recruit to Nebraska? Uhhhh....

       

      @ColoradoHusk I think Jim Grobe was on the finalists list, wasn't he? Supposedly the story was that he didn't like the idea of keeping Watson around.

    3. ColoradoHusk

      ColoradoHusk

      @Toe you are correct that Jim Grobe was a finalist.  I think he was more of a "finalist" than Johnson was.  I totally forgot about Grobe.  Grobe wanted to bring in more of his own assistants, and wasn't thrilled that Osborne thought NU should keep the offensive assistants around.

      I don't watch enough Georgia Tech football to say I'll miss it.

       

      I get my annual fix from the Army-Navy game.
