Unfortunately some Nebraska fans don't seem to get that either. Getting slightly annoyed with those who are afraid to compete. It's a defeatist attitude that should not exist.

Husker fans are looking pretty pathetic right now.  I was slightly frustrated when I first saw the schedule.  But....get over it.  We will be playing football and every week is against someone good.  That should be exciting for the fans.  The whining has to stop.

Yep.... we were gonna play all these teams eventually; the order isn't really that big of a deal considering it is a weird situation for everybody. I actually think it could favor us.

Ohio State is on our side, at least. 

ESPN is giddily ripping on Nebraska. Rittenberg, Wilbon, Howard, all letting it fly.

Here's how they reacted to Frost's statement:

Here's how they reacted to Day's statement:

Good one! 

Why isn't he showing up on the front page banner any more?  

It's a southern hemisphere thing. He is on the back page banner. 

Oh well played.

@Decoy73:  Trevor Robinson from 10 or 12 years ago.  Went to Notre Dame and played three or four years in the NFL.  (Edit:  But I guess you said skill position.  Trevor Robinson was a OG in college and center in the NFL.)

Not a skill player, but Harrison Phillips was great at Stanford and is now at the Buffalo Bills.  Among skill players, Xavier Watts from Burke was another skill player which NU has lost out on, but it's too early to tell how good he will be at Notre Dame.

Jaylin Bradley was an Omaha-area recruit who I thought would be good at Nebraska, but his career never panned out.

I should point out I don't fault any of them at all. It's an indictment on us, I think.

I'd support college football adopting NFL timing rules, particularly with the sheer amount of passing that happens. I was watching the game with a couple of buddies and from 8:41 p.m. to 8:53 p.m., the game clock went from ~7:10 down to ~5:45. No commercials or anything. Just legitimate on-air time because of clock stops, injuries, reviews, etc.

I think the games are getting to be too long.

I actually turned it off. It was the middle of the day here and I just didn't find myself being compelled by anything, let alone the 25 minutes of commercials per hour.

This game is so far removed from the regular season and traditional bowl slots now that it just feels like an afterthought. 

I agree with that, too. Not seeing either of those teams for four weeks, having them play a semifinal, and then not seeing them again for another two weeks is just silly.

One of my top 3 favorite bands ever.  Probably best live band ever.  

Kinky....I like it but, kinky.

A consistent pass rush would be nice as well.

Ha ha!  You gotta remember which sock you're logged in as.  Just sayin..

@CheeseHusker likely some spammer was using multiple Australian IPs and we blanket banned the whole country. I seem to remember something about that from back in the day.

That actually makes a lot of sense.

It's no big deal but I was just thinking "what the heck did I do?"

I doubt the site gets all that much viewing from this part of the world.

@ladyhawke I didn't catch the postgame presser and tuned things out pretty quickly but he looked more p#ssed and disappointed than anyone else walking of the field.

Which is a refreshing change of pace from ho-hum, aww shucks Riley or Bo getting his butt thumped in big games and embarrassing us on the sidelines.

I thought this was going to be about betting 

I don't have enough money to bet on football.... it's just as well. 

Talent.

There is no room for error for our Huskers.  What the offense creates the defense gives away.

And what the defense creates the offense squanders.  

Cleveland and Pittsburgh are both trash. The common thread when most things happen in the AFC North, the Pittsburgh Steelers. 

And that Bengals game too. Seems like all those teams ever do is headhunt.

I am a Bengals fan, but they are a horribly run organization. The whole afc north is a joke.

No that comes when Wiscy hangs 100 on us

We've had so many moments over the past 15 years that felt like rock bottom, only to later be proven that yes, it actually can get worse. It is a disaster right now. Horrible. But unfortunately this version of rock bottom can certainly get rock-bottomer. 

Well, if we can at least beat Maryland, we'll have improved on last season's win total, at least... :|

What also stinks is that a couple plays earlier, Frost called a great play on 1st down when he had Vedral fake the QB lead, and Warner was breaking open in the secondary.  Vedral gave up on the route too early, tucked it and ran for a few yards.  That play was set up for a TD with Vedral running the QB lead a couple plays in a row, and Vedral didn't execute.

Like @4skers89 said, Scott called it at the beginning of the season. This team isn't good enough to have a large margin of error. One or two mistakes they could over come, but when something happens almost every drive... There isn't enough talent on this team to dig us out of that.

Yeah, I said to someone after the game, for all the large and small errors in that game, the biggest thing that it came down to was two turnovers vs one. Turnovers are something you always strive to control, but some of them are always gonna be kinda fluky, like having the ball hit the QB's knee, or having a tipped pass somehow land right in the arms of a defender laying flat on his back.
