  1. Halftime lockerroom.  It's time for Frost and staff to earn their pay.  Now is the time.

      It's time for the players to earn their schollies. Tackling is absymal. Get your heads up! Set the edge! Finish your blocks! Give a f#&%!

  2. Apathy is running high.  On this board and in Husker nation.  (And especially at my keyboard!)

      At this point we're not really playing for much, if anything.  Bowl game is unlikely.  1 more win would show some improvement over last year I guess.  Meh.

  4. Does anyone know where I can find an 8 quart Ninja Deluxe XL Pressure Cooker & Air Fryer?  Preferably either stainless steel or black, and I don't want to pay more than $280 for it.  

  5. So long Mo.  We hardly got to know you.

  7. Meh, I don't think the ads are *that* bad.  It's a free board.  Got to pay the bills somehow.  :shrug:

      Sounds like ads are a lot worse on phones than on computers.  I generally use a computer on this site.

      I had no problems until today. The ad takes up about 2/3 of the screen on mobile.  No problems about it on computer.

  8. Well.  That sucked. 

  9. It gives me a good feeling to see the two recent commit notices at the top of the main page.  Seems like progress is being made.  /pours a  bit of red Kool-Aid into the whiskey tumbler.

      I didn't fully realize how bad the talent gap was until that composite recruiting rankings came out and we found out OSU was #2 with like 60 4- and 5-star players on its roster.

       

      We're a distant fourth behind Penn State (#10) and Michigan (#11) and ahead of Wiscy (#33) who seems to consistently more with less. But hey, we're #24 so it's not that bad. Still, gonna have to learn to compete with those top 3 or really kick a$$ at development like Wiscy if we're gonna be relevant.

       

      It's a Jimmies and Joes problem at this point, not Xs and Os. Thanks Riley!

      @Danny Bateman Have you looked at the rankings for this year's class yet? We're currently #30, behind Wisconsin, Iowa, and Purdue, and one spot above Northwestern.

       

      https://247sports.com/Season/2020-Football/CompositeTeamRankings/

       

      Our average recruit rating is a bit higher than theirs, but still behind the big boys of the conference. I'd like to see the average get up over 89, which is the minimum line for a 4* rating.

      @Toe Yep. Clearly still struggling a bit. Nebraska has always been a difficult place to recruit, except maybe in the TO era. He had the added benefit of partial qualifiers, which meant getting a lot of excellent athletes who struggled in the classroom to campus.

       

      Clearly Frost has been good for recruiting but we've got a lot of work to do yet. Success on the field begets success bringing more talent. We've got to continue scratching out wins, close & ugly if need be. Finishing 4-2 down the homemstretch would mean a chance at a 9-win season, a good bowl game and would do a ton of good recruiting, IMO.

  11. Phew!!  These NW games sure seem to come down to the last play a lot.  

  12. And on Sunday morning Husker fans awoke to discover shards of glass and a red sticky mess from the broken pitchers of Kool-Aid littering every living room and mancave in the state of Nebraska.  sigh  

    1. 4skers89

      4skers89

      I had 1 pitcher of Kool-Aid before the season started.  Just one.  What a mess it makes.  Never again.  If they win a NC, I'll still contend that they aren't very good.

    2. NUance

      I told myself that I wouldn't get caught up in the hype.  Not this time.  That Nebraska and the Big 10 just weren't the same situation as UCF.   But the Kool-Aid was too irresistible.  So I drank.  And now I need to find a good twelve step program.

      They used that quote in this docu-series on Netflix called The Mind, Explained

       

      Pretty interesting, only 5 20-minutes episodes. Here's a little article too: https://www.vox.com/2019/9/12/20861728/the-mind-explained-netflix-vox

  17. I just can't believe how many of you think it's perfectly fine for a guy to bail out on his teammates, his coaches and his fans because he missed winning the starting job by a hair's breadth.  It makes me realize how little I have in common with you.  And frankly, I'm glad I have very little in common with you.  Good day, sirs. 

  18. Love that "Raft Colorado" tee Foster was sporting in the presser.  lulz  :lol:

      The tee is probably from some unrelated Colorado white water rafting company (I'm guessing). But I'm sure Jerald Foster is wearing it in reference to the Colorado game in two weeks   Like saying f#&% Colorado.  lol

  19. This thing about "mitigating circumstances" for transfers wanting to avoid sitting out a year is going to cause problems at a lot of schools.  (Like the situation at aTm right now.  LINK)  The ncaa totally opened the door on this through shortsighted rulemaking.  :facepalm:

      The one thing I can appreciate about Callahan, Pelini, and Riley is that they never put the school through major NCAA violations or scandals.  There wasn't anything hanging over the program when we hired the next coach.

      Agreed with others that OSU took their time on purpose. The longer they took to make a decision, the longer people had to forget. Smart strategy if all you care about is winning football games.

      I think Urbs gets a time served penalty, his wife quietly gets put on administrative leave for the fall semester and then comes back and everyone feels really dirty about it.  I wouldn't be entirely shocked if Gene Smith announces his retirement effective next year.

      This is the weirdest feature on the board

    4. NUance

      NUance

      It's a feature where you visit a poster's profile and post a status aimed at them.  For example, I could go on 4skers89's profile page and post a status towards the top where it says:  "Write a public message on 4skers89's feed..."

       

      The status would show up on HB's front page as, "NUance > 4skers89"
