You could see on TV a handful of empty rows at the top of the SW corner the last few years.

 

It doesn't seem like that long ago freshmen had to enter into a lottery to get get tickets because there was way more demand than supply.

Um the rich seats under the press box would literally be 25 percent full after half. Blaming the students for wasting their time standing to watch this trash product is such an easy go to.  When the actual "supporters" of the program don't bother to sit in their section.

Yeah, those guys that gave Saban and Belichick another shot have really regretted it.

Wait wait so your using a coach that had already won a national title and one that was actively being courted by 2 NFL teams as your reference to Rhule?  They aren't even close in comparison and it's hilarious that you think the situations are similar.  Rhule would suck, but you can go and try to convince yourself the store brand tissues are as good as Kleenex.

I 10000% wanted Frost to work, seemed like the perfect choice at the time.  But, here we are, looking at a potential coaching change.  So my question is, who do you realistically want Trev to go after?  Gundy?  Campbell?  Just curious of realistic names Husker Nation wants to go after.  

All those guys are worse then Bo

Can't wait for the explanation of Rhule is going to turn this around.  Hiring fired guys doesn't work very well. Do not care if it's freon the NFL or not.  No he's not the next Pete Carroll.

I hope we roll into Rutgers and win. But I hope more that Mickey can keep their heads up after Michigan. We have a shot with everyone else. GBR!!

Well they are going to the win west so they will be fine

How absolutely incompetent the coaches are after they put Tommi Hill back on the field.  And how incredibly awful thre rest of the players at that position are if that is who you are starting. 

Frost was a way bigger butthole then Bo ever was.  At least he had accountability.

But 6 different coaches...

Ya this same story is all over only with different coaches and or university reps.  I was at bowling last night and heard the same thing with 2 different coaches,  and it was the exact same.  Went to state to recruit, got drunk, player didn't come.  Was in Scott, in Arizona, with a margherita, with Raolia.  Or was Rudd in .. blah with blah. It's like that game clue, Was Scotty in the closet at country club, with a knife!   From your brother through a mother, I'm sure there was about 5 more degrees in there but sure bud.  No one cares if you don't have any reason not to believe.  The question is if you really should.

And boom…proof of a systemic problem

Lol this is the exact same story told with 6 different coaches with 6 different recruits in 6 different states.  That is why I know it's BS.  It's like telephone where the state, coach, name of recruit, and alcohol of choice change but the story is the same.  Systematic problems maybe do exist but this is laughable. 

I think this is more of along the lines of if you don't want to talk to frat boy Davison then you don't have too.  Any of Frosts support people can be dismissed at any time. 

These threads are so dumb with people thinking that this is even remotely possible.  These should be deleted

I'm really thinking(hoping) his accuracy issues are from rust since he had that thumb injury so long and then missed time after surgery. I feel like he looked more accurate with the injury at times even last season so it's either rust or mental. 

His accuracy are because he isn't that good.  He also already reinjured the hand.  People need to come to grips with the fact that he is a mediocre quarterback that was replaced for a freshman at a different school.  Unless he beats Oklahoma then he's great and I take back everything. 

They have the better head coach

I understand the angst retaining SF has caused for some. Many were ready to move on after last year. To be fair I don't think the pieces have been in place in the four years Scott has been here. We all hoped he could turn a sows ear into a silk purse over night. Scott has never had running backs, receivers and quarterbacks this talented since he has been at Nebraska. The defense is less than effective it seems so if we are going to win games it will have to be the offense.....with an O line that still has issues. We definitely miss Cam and Noueli and I don't think Prohaska is anywhere near full strength. The line will be a work in progress to get them to average. I hope the truth is that Scott and Whip are on the same page and there is not division amongst either of them. 

Everything you wrote here is controllable by Scott Frost

It helps to read a lot and have spent 50 years watching, listening and so on.  I am doing some interpreting and guesswork admittedly.  But, quite often, coaches cite the highlights at this point.  In the context of recent years’ results, it feels about right.  Agree or not, that’s my reaction.  MJ may be trying to motivate his room with plenty of less than complementary remarks.  That’s his approach and I hope you’re right if you see the other way.  I don’t know but I generally find - no news is rarely a good thing.  It’s only the first scrimmage, apparently since the spring scrimmage before the red/white practice. (That doesn't qualify as even a real scrimmage imo).  With only a couple more before Dublin game, these ‘reports’ are all we have.  
 

Maybe ‘shock and awe’ are coming 8-27, in a good way.  I’m still bullish that a better Big Red experience is upcoming.  GBR.  

I made no statement either way on how I feel.  Frost should have been fired last year.  I just found it hilarious on how you just randomly pulled this entire thing out of thin air.  Watch I can do it to.  Ervin will be the number 2 back and ascend to number one by the Oklahoma game.  The defense will be in the top 10 in passing efficiency in the nation based off of what I saw on the Twitter.   I am glad you can read though.  I wouldn't have come to that conclusion on a text message board.  They probably will suck.  Frost isn't a good coach so far and turning it into a success is borderline impossible.  The odds are in the favor of them being terrible.

Not worked up at all.  Disappointed maybe.  The position groups doing well tend to get the positive recognition by coaches and teammates alike.  I’ve seen almost nothing about the WRs beyond the recruiting hype and the pre-camp assumption that the receiving corp is a strength and loaded.  
 

Our season rests squarely on our passing based offense becoming great instead of average as has been the case for a decade.  Those of us (there are many btw) who prefer a run based offense, are impatiently waiting for the offensive juggernaut to show up.   We’ve seen quite a few passing yards but not many points scored.  
 

I’m hoping that in about 17 days, the new and improved Frosty Whip fun n gun shines brighter than the North Star.  I am expecting our Blackshirts to be VERY good (great is possible) so our offense may struggle vs our defense.  But, we are not hearing much about the offense (except good news on the RBs).  There are many unknowns, mostly on the offense, imo.  STs issues have been, imo, mostly a lack of focus and lack of coaching attentiveness. That sounds fixed. I’m not worried, but maybe I should be, I suppose.  
 

I view 2022 fb season as a watershed one - the most important in decades perhaps, relative to the future of the program.  I want it to be VERY successful.  DONU eschewed the running game in favor of ‘air Nebraska’ 20 years ago.  I’ve given up hope the dominating run game is left to collect dust in the championship trophy cases and my memories of back in the day.  
 

Therefore, yes, I want some good news to give me hope!  Disappointed, yes. Angry - not anymore. 

Dude you didn't get to watch it.   That is an incredibly in depth opinion for something based on what coaches say after and tictok videos from the scrimmage.

That is not bad at all. I believe fans that aren't on the rolling train are doing the wait and see results before they spend their money on tickets. The sellout streak I don't believe is gonna stop any time soon.

Well it already has after they gave away tickets last year to make it a "sell out "

I'd be thrilled with 8-4 regardless. And being in the top 25 would be a cherry on top but far from being necessary. But I'd be happy with 6-6 and going to bowl too.

6 - 6 and Frost should absolutely be fired the day after the season.  He will be playing in a 75 percent stadium at that point

Tom started this.......

First statement is correct imo.  Whether he is good enough remains to be seen.  A pile of coaches who can evaluate better than the members of this board can thought he was sure good enough to pursue though.    

Our coaches evaluation techniques have been incredibly under whelming, their hit ratio is beyond terrible.  The record shows that, and no we weren't better then our record. 

On 6/5/2022 at 12:18 PM, Huskerfollower4life said:

What????? Can you please give me a good reason why you don't think he will come close to 10 sacks?? Different league, not good enough ability wise, SF sucks at developing something?????

Better linemen in the big ten.  And no he is not good enough.

40 minutes ago, Huskerfollower4life said:

Does anyone else believe that he will have double digit sack totals by the end of the season or does everyone not have believe that there is a reason why he only got 4 sacks total last season regardless of what scheme he was used in???

He won't even get close

Pretty sure they are saying that is it more likely that Nebraska will have 8+ wins since that is the "favorite" at -140.  7 or less is the "underdog" at +120.

 

If you bet the over you have to lay $140 to win $100.  If you bet the under you have to lay $100 to win $120.

Yep read it wrong, but my explanation still stands just the opposite.  I must have read switched those in my brain

Not being a gambler can one of you high rollers explain to me like I'm 5 what the "-140", "+120" & "+500" actually means?

Minus money you have to bet 140 to win 100.  So you lay 140, payput is 240.  Plus is opposite so lay 100 to win 500.  So 100 would pay you back 600.  

So they are saying it's more likely Nebraska will have 7 wins then 8 wins so you have to pay a "premium" of that to make that bet.  You get a premium on the over as they deem that is the lesser scenario. 

Nebraska wins 10 games is 5-1 odds bet.  Which in my opinion is horrible odds and wouldn't lay a dime on that.  A 5-1 horse in any horse race has a better chance to win then Nebraska winning 10 games.

I'm sure they won't hit on the most sophisticated PED program in the entire country.
