  1. Trying to shake the feeling but I feel detached from this coaching staff

      No former Huskers on the staff. Will be interesting

      It's the same feeling I've had when the neighbor family that mine had a lot in common with lost their job and took another one out of state. Now a new family moves in and while they are cordial, we haven't had enough life experiences to become friends with yet. They seem nice but it's going to take time. Coaching at Nebraska has become musical chairs for too long.

  2. Really hoping Joseph takes the reins and doesn't look back. Rooting for him to be our next coach.

  3. If we get the right coach, would love to see Casey, Grant, Washington, and Palmer return next year, team them with Fidone and we may have a monster offense. Also think it'll help their draft prospects. Don't see any of them getting drafted high  with our record this season.

  4. Explaining to your colleagues at work that Northwestern is sometimes good, is a pain no Husker should endure.

      Is Northwestern any good?  Remains to be seen.  Last year at this time people were trying to convince themselves Illinois was a good team, then they promptly lost to UTSA hahaha.

      we just don't want to break that incredible streak of 1 score losses

      Sounds like rationalizing more than explaining. Northwestern is never “good”.

  5. How many wins does Frost need for you to feel comfortable bringing him back next year?

     

    For me 9 wins starts the convo.

      It would happen with 6, but I'd be comfortable with it with 10.

       

       

  6. Does the instability in Ukraine/Europe alter anyone's plans on the Ireland game?

      the U.S. and Nato are not going to put troops on the ground in this war.    and from what i am seeing there are a lot of russian casualties already so i think putin may just be happy for now when his private war with Ukraine is over.

      It's scary.  But I'd still go, if they let me take my Ipod on the plane. 

       

      And Ipad.

       

      Do I have to wear a mask?

    4. swmohusker

      Nope. I am still too poor to go.  

  7. Forgot that the championship game was on tonight. Never thought that would happen, but now I see it, I don't really care to watch it.

      @ZRod I agree.  My attitude was slightly better.  Still not an ideal situation,

    3. funhusker

      I also forgot all about it.  I got home from my daughter's BB practice and was just messing on my phone and happened to see a halftime update.  I thought, "That's right!  I'll watch."

       

      I watched the 3rd quarter and went to bed.  Wasn't worth staying up for me.  I know it was a good game, I just realized I didn't care at that point.

      @SECHusker Yeah I totally understand, just giving you a hard time lol.  Pretty sure the vibe everywhere is that the Alabama Championship Game is getting tiring.  And typically we see the playoffs having the usual suspects - Bama, Clemson, Ohio State, OU, or another SEC team.  So the excitement is getting dull.   And I agree with @ZRod that you really shouldn't be in the playoffs without winning your conference.  But as I watched the season, Georgia really was the best team all year, and the slightly better team in the national title game too.

       

       

  8. Just had Wendy's new fries, and dare I say they were better than McDonald's average fries. Granted when McDonald's fries are done right, there may be nothing better...Except maybe Chick-fil-A's fries.

  9. Do you watch less CFB when we have a bad season?

      No. I watch every game we play, and still watch some other teams as well.

      What bad season?  I love football 

      :woo

       

  10. If Frost losses against NW does he get fired after the game? 

     

     

    1. 308_Husker

      308_Husker

      No, but that would really, really suck.

    2. ZRod

      ZRod

      No... Sheesh...

  11. Defense has nothing to be ashamed of.

  12. Just watched Frost's presser for Fordham where he keeps saying we can't survive penalties/dumb plays, and to a certain extent that is true; but if his offense knew how to consistently put up points some of that former would be a moot point.

      If only Martinez had a QB coach to help him with his throw mechanics...

  13. Really don't understand this blind loyalty to Frost. This fairy tale, turned horror story must end.

     

     

    1. Stone Cold

      Stone Cold

      I dont think its loyalty, im tired of the on field crap play and im ashamed at the off field antics.  Just play good football and you win this game.  Period.  It doesnt need to be Ohio St football just good fu**&^* football and you win.  Win the ones you should until you can recruit to beat the ones you shouldnt.  But well never get there when we sh(* the bed every @#%@#$^@#$!@#$!@#$^%@#$!@#$!@#%!% weekend.

      Regardless of Frost's story as a head coach here, whether it's a good ending or a bad ending, I hope enough people are able to differentiate what he did as a player from what he did as a coach. Those are two very different things, and even if he ultimately fails as a head coach, so long as he did enough things with dignity and carried himself with professionalism... then it is what it is and I won't fault the guy. There's no denying he worked his a$$ off as head coach here.

    3. JJ Husker

      What blind loyalty? Any coach had to be given this much time. Unfortunately we now know how this story will end. But you cannot, do not fire a new HC before year 4 game 1. We’re stuck for this season. It is what it is. There is no blind loyalty to bemoan. I don’t think there are but maybe 100 people that don’t realize it is over. You can’t expect people’s hopes to expire at exactly the same time.

  14. Feel good we can score 30+ on Illini, and confident we can hold them to less than 20.

    1. TonyStalloni

      TonyStalloni

      Lets hope the defense is better and the special teams and offense have turned a corner.

    Didn't know any of this before, but was a great analysis of how we fell from grace.

      Nebraska had a high number of "partial qualifiers" thrive and graduate. Many kids with poor grades were ADD and schools didn't understand that those kids did not learn like a typical student. Classes with long boring lectures were hell. I know because my middle son had/has ADD. Jared Tomich was a partial qualifier and made it through college because Nebraska designed ways to help him and others learn in ways they could not in high school. Texas and the rest of the Big 12 wanted those kids stashed in junior colleges where they were never going to learn adequately.

  16. A lot of respect for Naomi Osaka. More emphasis needs to be placed on mental health. Hopefully she wins her battle.

    1. ZRod

      ZRod

      I'm half and half on this. What happened to her in her grandslam win was absolutely awful; and a disgraceful display by the fans and Serena. That said, athletes need to be mentally tough. That's a huge part of sports  some people just aren't cut out for that. None of us like public speaking, but you've gotta face your fears and get your job done.

    2. SECHusker

      SECHusker

      I somewhat agree with the 'this is what you signed up for' argument, but I'm mostly applauding her speaking out about mental health. No longer needs to be taboo.

  17. Shameful and pathetic:

     

     

    1. JJ Husker

      JJ Husker

      Yeah....they should probably teach the kids how to tackle correctly before turning them lose on this drill. I’m guessing that kid probably doesn’t want to play football anymore.

    2. ColoradoHusk

      ColoradoHusk

      First, the coaches doing this drill with kids this age is wrong and shameful.  It's just dumb.

       

      Second, they should teach the running back to not lower his head and use his helmet as a weapon against an on-coming tackler.  If that ball carrier continues to do that in the long-run, he's going to be susceptible for a spinal injury and concussions.

       

      Third, I saw this put on Twitter and there were plenty of responses defending this type of drill.  That's what really is disturbing.

    3. NUance

      NUance

      Poor kid.  That's hard to watch. 

  18. Watching NW beating OSU by running the ball and short and intermediate passing is upsetting. Why can't Frost get out of his own way and do the same?

  19. Curious if the sentiment around the program would be less negative, if we hadn't been so adamant about playing

    1. admo

      admo

      Maybe? :dunno

       

      But I think it's when you find a way to go 2-10 on an 8 game schedule.  And one game was cancelled.

    2. Enhance

      Enhance

      Probably, but fans wouldn't be feeling this way if they had played better, so it goes both ways.

  20. Frost needs to make some changes to his offensive staff.

      At this stage, I would not renew or extend anything with Scott.  Yet, Scott will get an extension in a year that won't make sense but will justify Moos' choice of him.  Probably 2024.  It's just the way it works.  Then the alumni will need to pay off millions for 3-5 more years after he is gone.  I'm like B.B., I want it to work ... But this looks to be the trend.

    3. SECHusker

      SECHusker

      I would like for things to work with Frost, but I can't point to one area on the team that has any level of consistency. And looking at Northwestern and Indiana, I am at a lost to what Frost needs to be successful.

    4. Loebarth

      This conversation frustrates me...

      Those whom can't see the changes are blinded by hate or just plain angry people!

      Watch interviews of Frostie's players and compare them to interviews of previous staff players.

      Also, how many of you eternal complainers actually listen to real experts (though you make think you are, you're not). Be a fan, accept the truth, be patient and rather than looking for the negatives, look instead for the positives. Remember also, Duval literally had to teach basic lifting and weight training in the beginning. The time is coming when we'll look back at this and for those knucklehead haters, we positive minded will remember!!

       

      It's coming, slower than I'd like but it's coming and I'm excited for the future!!!!

  22. All this we want to play for 1-3...

  23. Frost is getting a vote of no confidence

  24. Weird, I know we got outscored, but it doesn't feel like we got beaten up. Kinda like watching a boxer who just wants to outpoint his opponent to win, rather than go for the KO.

    1. ZRod

      ZRod

      The score didn't really reflect the game. One garbage time TD that most coaches would have took a knee. Two gift wrapped by bad officiating. 31 - 21 is what the game felt like and what it should have been.

    2. SECHusker

      SECHusker

      Agree with your analysis, which in my mind means no we are only a few pieces away, considering Mills and Robinson didn't get that many touches.

    3. ZRod

      ZRod

      Yeah, this will be a fun year. We have physicality on all sides, and guys who want to ball. We just need some guys to step up in the receiving corps and at Safety. Those were the glaring he's yesterday.
