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.

@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.

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

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?

@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.

Thank you for serving our country!

@Ric FlairThats a possibility, she isn't a small woman.

That is a great Twitter thread. 

I'm not a Twitter guy but I've heard tell of their funny Twitter account in the past.

They usually trash McDonald's, which is fair game, but I thought they were out of line smack-talking Hardees.  Their best burger is just a sad ripoff of Hardees' monster burger.

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

@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.

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.   

Yeah, the hit that pushed him backwards was borderline, but I don't think it was dirty.

@ZRodI dont know, they let the play go, but the kid seemed to have his leg and continue to roll when the whistle should have been blown but he just kept getting hit.  Play to the whistle of course and I stated in the game threat it was borderline dirty.  It just seemed to take forever for those idiots in stripes to blow the whistle until 4 other guys got a chance to hit him.

very bad refs they blew a lot of calls but pretty equally both ways

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.  

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. 

I figured there would be something from the coaches after practice on what they saw.  I cant wait till Monday, i need my fix.

A few generic things I've heard, "high intensity, fast-paced, high energy, lots of excitement".  Also the defense created a lot of turnovers.

I know a guy who watches all the practices, but I don't like bugging him too much.  I'm sure he'll get more specific as camp goes on.

Cam Jurgens was working with the #1 offense today at TE.

Apparently Damion Daniels is a tank and will cause issues for offenses. 

Haha excellent!

In the theater now waiting for it to start.  A whole 3 people here at the movie haha.

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

I thought he was named Zac Taylor.

Name change, did it through the courts.  I saw your post yesterday after I posted this as I hadn't seen it. 

It wouldn’t have been accurate from any distance 

Ideally, we would be winning at halftime.

It depends on the form of the death threat. If someone is repeatedly calling your home and threatening you then you should let the police know it’s happening. If it’s some jerk yelling out of the car then just consider the source. 

Oh yeah, for sure.  If it is some random tweet from some A-hole...who cares...but yeah if they are calling your home or (I think this would be creepy) mailing you s#!t...that is totally different.  

I think hes looking for a good reason to get away from that cesspool. He'll be done at the end of the season if not before. I dont blame him. 

^ So? We're fans. We can speculate all we want.

Not to mention it's inevitable that job will be open on less than 2 months.

And we're already being used as a salary enhancer for coaches that were never coming here anyway. It's poor poker play on our behalf. 

On the fans' behalf? Nah.

Nebraska class.

@zoogs it's both OSU and NU press i'd believe.  We all know the press really only have an agenda anymore why not just ask him the questions we'd want to hear.

He littlerly almost asked just that.

Omg.

I take back what I said. Would have been happy to sneak in undeservedly.

Man.

Stupid Mexico, couldn't throw us a solid for what we did for them in 2013

I can't believe the US would agree to play the Trinidad and Tobago teams at the same time. 2 v 1 and you lose...what did you expect!? 

Happy to hear you're safe and sound. What a terrible situation.........

Glad you are safe.  Terrifying ordeal.  Hope your city heals soon.

Still standing in line to donate blood but it will be worth it when all is said and done.  Thanks for all the well wishes.

I read that and I'm like... is that it?  This guy's complaints are:

Bad clock management in the Navy game

A fake rivalry Diaco tried to push didn't work (where have we seen that before?)

Diaco didn't play the right quarterback, or the right quarterback at the right time

Diaco didn't want to hire Jerry Kill

None of these are unique complaints. Diaco is one of dozens of coaches, including Riley, who have bad clock management skills.

The fake rivalry thing is becoming more a hallmark of college football than real rivalries. The idiotic trophies Nebraska plays Iowa & Wisconsin for are two, and Bill McCartney created a fake rivalry with Nebraska thirty years ago.

The backup quarterback is the most-used trope in all of football, pro or college. Playing injured players happens every week, every coach, every team. 

Lots of people/places didn't want to hire Jerry Kill. Lots don't want to hire Tracy Claeys, either. 

None of those complaints are examples of poor accountability. They're all gripes with coaching decisions. 

I love you Knapp.

Well it's obvious, we should fire him immediately and severely punish any and all who object. This injustice shall not stand, man.

Me too
