We're a punchline in Fargo, ND. Which is frustrating on two levels:

 

1) The FCS team that North Dakotans get all puffed up about was created by Craig Bohl to be Osborne era Nebraska-esque in style and mentality.

and 2) We're being made fun of by people who's only claim to fame is an awesome movie and a woodchipper.

 

FML...is it basketball season yet? Wait crap, the basketball coach got his start at NDSU too. WHY IS A FCS TEAM MAKING MY HUSKERS LOOK STUPID?!?!?!?

Erstad was from ND too...

Question: I heard an Omaha radio show where it was said that the former players are against Scott Frost coming back? Anyone know why? Was he not popular with his team mates as a QB?

There have been a lot of stories about Frost/his parents being in the middle of "difficult situations" over the years. The only one I have seen widely documented is Scott's involvement with LP's girlfriend (he was with her when LP went bats**t crazy). TO documented some of this in his books. Google is your friend...

I have heard from some of his NU teammates (at tailgates, golf tourneys, etc) that they wish him success in his career but don't want him on NU's staff. Never got any more detail tho... I don't think he should even be an option until he's duplicated his success (as an OC or HC) on his own post-Oregon...

Yeah, I'm sure the online petition is really going to be the tipping point for Eichorst. insert heavy sarcasm here

 

 

 

Maybe if it gets sent to him with a $10 million check. Anything else is just a bunch of people bitching on the internet.

 

Seriously... If someone started a crowdfunding project along with the petition, that would be the best chance for traction... Kickstarter or Indiegogo anyone?!?

Isn't Nebraska the "new Nebraska" and Wisconsin the "old Nebraska"? The "new" Nebraska just got panties-down prison-raped by a middle-of-the-pack (B10) team, which never woulda happened to the "old Nebraska" but has happened many times the last 15 years... Need more apostrophists on this board.

If this only happens "once or twice every season", does that mean we only have 1 more bad loss coming? That seems awfully optimistic at this point, imo...

 

 

If there was someone out there like Urban Myer. You know, I feel like we could lure in a top-tier coach from the SEC. Because, it's tough to make a NC game in their conf. Too much competition. If they came here (and kept recruiting) they could compete for conf/NC more often.

Remember urban said there was no way he was going to a school who just fired a coach that won nine games.

True, but I would have to think that people are smart enough to understand why he would be fired. We are a laughing stock, even at 9 wins. Everyone sees us get em abased on national tv every time. People now expect it, it's our Mo under Bo. A new coach would understand that

 

I don't think so. Assuming the coach is rational, this is where the school offers a big buyout and the HC steps down citing "Personal Reasons". Everyone wins and NU starts a new coaching search. Problem is, neither Bo Pelini, NU AD, nor Husker fans are rational enough to get this done...

First person who says Kiffen gets banned

Can we get a Mod to confirm?!?

Jim McElwain he has really turned Colorado State around. Also he coached with Nick Saban so that cant hurt.

Has worked so far with Tim Miles... Let's make CSU NU's "farm team", would be awesome!!!

SE is a coward, he'll never fire Bo

^^^This. I think Eichorst is a good to very good admin, but he's not going to "own" this issue. He'll wait until the decision gets made for him (i.e. team wins 5 or less OR major boosters demand a change). Can't blame him. Personally, I don't think Eichorst/Perlman have it in them to hire anyone better. Would love to see BP gone at this point but don't see it happening...

Still up & listening to postgame...
