  1. This season will be a blessing in disguise. We face all the powers of the East, exception PSU, and Frost truly gets to see what it'll take to win the conference. 

  2. This team will only get better when winning isn't the goal, merely the outcome. Their sole goal should be getting better if down by 50, up by 20, or 0-11.

      We need to stop comparing this team to past records and 'ask the question are we getting better?' I've seen upgrades at near every position from last year, and truly believe we are a pass rusher and DB from getting to where we want to be.

      The offense is progressing as fast as Adrian M is maturing.  It won't go any better till he can read defenses and  go through his progressions smoothly.  The O side of the ball is improving slowly but not fast enough to overcome the deficiencies of the defense. I feel sorry for Chin.  He knew what he didn't have the first week of spring ball.  Sadly they have only recruited one D back for 2019.  Maybe they can find juco help.

      Tony you are spot on. 

  3. Watching the PAC12 Championship and something doesn't seem right. Don't know if it's the look slow or they aren't physical, but I'm unimpressed...

      Well, in all fairness, they were 9-3 teams.  I think they played like 9-3 teams do.  Decent, but not great.  The empty seats is not a good look, especially considering how long each of them has waited to win the conference.  You'd think there'd be more excitement from fans.  Guess not enough to buy tickets.

      PAC12 just isn’t very good.

      That was way worse than our Sparty game, and weather was not a factor. Good defenses, but it was pretty bad offense. With Utah's starting QB i think they win that game going away.

  4. 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.

      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.

      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

      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.

  5. What happened to "Sharp" from Sharp and Benning in the morning?

      I tried listening to this show.   Wasn't a fan of both but still appreciated the Husker talk.  :mellow:

  6. While, this loss isn't completely on them, I really hope the D gives up their BLK shirts to show they have taken a step forward in accountability.

      I don't care if they turn them in or tie them around their waist as a sarong.  I only care about seeing improvement on the field.

      Symbolism doesn’t matter here. We are not at that level. We need a few years. They can wear them as underwear for all I care but we won’t be black shirts without talent and we lack it. In every level of the defense. 

  7. Why in hell do you keep A. Williams on that player, when he is getting beat like a drum?

  8. Will Frost stop being so cute in offense?

  9. With all of the recent departures, and future ones, I fully expect this team to become closer and stronger as a unit.

  10. With all the negativity that's been going around, I can't help but think some folks are just fire happy.

      Not going to happen, no matter how hard and loud the drums of “can’t beat them, bring everyone else down” are. HCSF will have the required time to develop this program. He is the beloved prodigal son, intelligent as heck, and has been successful at all levels.

      Anyone who legitimately wants Frost fired is an idiot.

    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.

  13. 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.

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

  15. 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.

  16. Defense has nothing to be ashamed of.

  17. 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.

      :woo

       

  18. 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?

      Nope. I am still too poor to go.  

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

    1. The Dude

      The Dude

      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.

    2. commando

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

    3. JJ Husker

      JJ Husker

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

  20. 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.

  21. 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,

      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.

       

       

  22. Frost is getting a vote of no confidence

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

      Watching them gash our defense right now and starting to agree with you.

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

     

    For me 9 wins starts the convo.

      10

       

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

       

       

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