    For those of you good at digging up info. So Bookie basically said he was not positive on his commitment starting back in May. Is there anything publicly traceable that happened back in May possibly or late april after the spring game? What is evident is that his decommitment has nothing to do with the homers that blame it on the media publicly saying its because riley is getting fired. He decommitted now but starting wavering in the spring.

     

    Watching the results of the Spring Game maybe?

    This is just an attack right here. 

     

    Let me ask you: If Sullenberger was riding the controls down to the Hudson, would you be there in his ear screaming "Well Chesney, you're really doing a great job getting us to 30,000 feet today!"

     

    If a Mod notifies me what I posted is unacceptable I will defer to their judgment.  As it is, I'll just apologize to you for my opinion/statement hurting your feelings.

    Why am I a Husker fan?

    I didn't grow up wanting to play or even watch football.  Due to my size my Dad thought it would be safer for me to play soccer.  When I started running my mouth during soccer games, he got me into martial arts.  His reasoning was that I'd either gain wisdom from my instructor and learn to shut my mouth on the field, or be able to better defend myself if I talked smack to the wrong bigger player.  Fortunately for me, both happened and I never needed to use what I learned because of my.....youthful exuberance. 

     

    My Dad was the only football guy in the house at the time, which is really odd in retrospect as he had three sons.  Anyway, he was HUGE into Husker football, he went to Lincoln on a partial gymnastics scholarship during The Devaney Years and now and again would talk about classes he shared with team members, training table stories, going to home and away games during their championship seasons, etc. etc.

     

    The 80s were particularly rough for him because he had witnessed first-hand what success looked like in The Devaney Era and was eager to see it again with Osborne, but time and again he (along with all of Husker-nation) was let down.  In 1990 he talks me into playing football my first year in high school, to help my understanding of the game I start watching football with him and I was hooked on the Huskers (and the sport in general.)  

     

    I was always a "Daddy's boy" and football only cemented that bond further.  I'm fortunate to not have had to wait as long as some fans to see what football dominance looked like, and I'm glad that I got to share all three National Championship seasons with him (shooting off leftover fireworks in the snow after the Miami game was fantastic!!!!). 

     

    From what he tells me, this is what it felt like before the Devaney hire, a lot of directionless uncertainty.  Hopefully, history repeats itself and the next coach for the Huskers gets them back on track.  Because as much as I'd like to see this team win titles again, I know it would mean more to him because it's been his team much longer than it's been mine.

    Gary Sharp Says On Twitter Frost To UF Is "Close To A Done Deal"

    You just have to let the season play out and let Moos fire MR and see what happens.  If Florida has been in contact with Frost in some back channel way, I would assume that Nebraska and Moos have also been talking through back channels.  

     

    I personally have always had my doubts that Frost would come back to Nebraska and coach.  If he does great but he only has one option at Nebraska and that is to be wildly successful. Anything less and people will be disappointed. That is a lot of pressure.  It is a much easier recruiting area at Florida we all know that.  I would not blame him nor would I be upset if he chose not to come back to Nebraska.  

     

    He's going to have that kind of expectation placed on him regardless of which P5 school he ends up coaching.

    What Did We Learn?.....Purdue

    I learned that watching the Creighton Men's Soccer team finally score 2 goals at the end of their game was more exciting and enjoyable than seeing the Huskers stumble their way to a win against one of the worst teams in the B1G.
