As I usually do...taking my kids to their sporting events/activties.  It's been a great way to offset how the team as been performing.

Phillips wasn't going to come here, a full ride to Stanford is a fantastic opportunity.

I put Other because it wasn't just the NIU loss at home that hurt.  It was the Arkansas State near loss at home that hurt just as much.

Heard from a very very well connected guy that the UCF AD is N. This upcoming week.

They are gonna be pissed when we take their AD and their HC.

now THAT is Lack of boldness lol

didnt tommy throw a p6 on his first pass last year?? 

The boldness comes from the fact the he only stated one pick 6 would be thrown.

This is also if they stay unemployed or have a lower tier coaching job, correct?

It is all a moot point. He's gone. I know, he knows it, everybody knows it.

Having talked with my friend whose kid is on the team...the players definitly know it.

Lack of toughness and will to not lose is hardly a new thought, most of the people on this board have been saying this for over a decade.

I hate that I'm typing this, but just don't expect the Huskers to win another game this year.

To quote Jon McClane:  "We're getting butt-f**ked on national television."

Please no.

If Bert/Butt-Head gets tapped as HC, I may be done with NU football for a bit.

I've already ranted about this elsewhere, so I'll spare you.  This OTL report summarizes why the vitriol is being spewed at Alberts:

Thanks for making me mad all over again.

Wow, I actually like that most pick NU to not only win but win pretty handily.  

 

I just can't see Illinois scoring enough points, unless NU gets Tanner Lee'd out there.

History says that will happen at least once this Friday.

They don't deserve to.  What they did to Mangino was almost criminal.  As far as I'm concerned, KU football should never recover. 

Combine that with what they did to Gill and they deserve to never recover.

3-5.  Illinois, Northwestern, and Purdue look beatable.  I could also see us beating one team we shouldn't, but I'm not sure which one at this point.

Since I was not born and bred I will always be an "outsider" I suppose, but I am slightly nervous about this route if Alberts and Frost are both hired too quickly (HC being inevitable).  There is so much that goes into the right choice.  Would you say most within the state are overwhelmingly in favor of this? 

Because they are extremely short sighted and want a return to the glory days, something they feel can only be achieved with people that were a part of the program during said days.

The Wrestling Program ran on their own cash.  Denny is a decent guy and wrestling is a very tight group.  

The best way to describe Coach Denney is that he was the Osborne of wrestling at UNO.  When I was there in the mid/late 90s I helped him train his wrestlers in the  school Judo program that he taught.  Good times.

 Heck, even though Cally, Bo and Frank could not win the big games, they didn't lose to this kind of opponent in year 3. 

Whaaaaaat???? This kind of crummy performance has been a Husker hallmark since the Solich firing.  They may not have lost them all, but let's not pretend that teams the Huskers should have beaten handily haven't given them fits over the years.

No, I meant sanity, like when you you see play calls that are insane and you ask the coach how he made it out of PeeWee league.... as opposed to saying " darn, we'll have to work on that and maybe in three years we'll have the right players and calls."

Yeah, I was making a reference to Miles "Mad Hatter" nickname/behavior thus the "Insanity" comment.

At the very least Miles would bring some sanity to the program.

I think you meant insanity, but in a good way of course.

 

I would literally sh#t my pants if we signed him. It aint happening though boys

don't think we've forgotten about this. no empty threats.

 

or empty pants.

You guys have any other coop games? Most of the time I play Payday 2 and Left 4 Dead 2 online with my friends, but I recently branched out into a couple others the are neat. One that is survival crafting called the Forest and then kind of a silly coop submarining exploration game called We Need to Go Deeper.

 

Also just got CS:GO during the Summer Sale. I've been meaning to give it a shot.

I used to play Payday 2 and L4D a ton, but my group lost interest in Payday 2 a few years back. It would be nice to get in with another group.

Bookie believes Tate is the steal of the class.

Thanks Iowa!

 

 

 

 

 

Oklahoma is about to have a Tom Osborne like drop off. End of an era.

They had a drop off when Switzer left, too. It's nothing new.

 

 

Oklahoma isn't currently at the pinnacle that Nebraska was at when Osborne left so maybe the drop off won't be as bad as you are expecting. Also, some schools can actually handle a succession plan correctly or they can just get plain lucky.

 

I don't think I know of a school that hasn't had a drop off after a very successful coach leaves a team

 

 

Ohio State had one bad season when Tressel left. I hardly count one season as a drop off when you are considering a program as a whole.

 

LSU win total went up after Saban left and Les Miles took over. It then went back down once Saban went to Bama.

 

Wisconsin from Alvarez to Chryst has maintained success.

 

Iowa maintained when Kirk Ferentz replaced Kirk Ferentz.

I guess my Pats will have to take him. : )
