Suh conversation was moved, don't bring it back to this thread please. It's in Nebraska football now.

Please stay on topic folks, we've talked about Riley ad nauseam.

It was a tangent in the recruiting forum. Look at the tags.

I'm branching this conversation about Todd off to the husker forum. I'm with the knife in that I went to the second page and was reading about people being pissed about a KU jersey. Trying to stay as on topic as possible.

I'm more or less an unabashed liberal. I'd love to hear the viewpoint of anyone who supports this. I live in a bit of an echo-chamber. It also seems as though there's a relatively high level of bi-partisan position on being against this move. When I talk to folks (either side of the aisle), there seems to be concern over the influence of money in politics. Everyone has their own solutions, but is this an issue that we could actually get behind on a bi-partisan basis? Not looking to pick a fight or anything, just some perspective.

Yeah, it's clearly a perfect storm of events. It's interesting that it took this much going the democrats way to sneak out a win. I don't know if they'll ever have it happen again.

Right now, the write in vote explains the margin of victory.

My understanding is that this belongs here. Anyone with VIP who can correct me, shoot me a message and I'll move.

Conversations in this thread will focus on the recruit. Under no circumstances are we here to make comments on recruits parents. Especially physical appearance.

Post to the Scott Frost Megathread, because I'm a mod and I can.

Yeah, my students are going nuts. It's kind of amusing. I wouldn't mind it snowing every day JM is supposed to visit elsewhere.

We're also going to work on getting rid of public service loan forgiveness again. Give breaks to the top, take it from the middle and tell them that by doing so it'll trickle down to the middle and they'll have more money. http://thehill.com/homenews/administration/363175-gop-bill-would-eliminate-student-loan-forgiveness-for-those-who-enter#.WidAxF70icM.facebook

Alright folks. That's a wrap. As the one that merged all the threads initially, I think it's fitting that I be the one to close the door. It was a fun ride. I might continue to sift through and copy rumors and stuff just so we can have it documented what the rumor mill said, compared to the posted time line.

I'm going to pull in what I said in a different post (where it didn't belong). I don't think he was a plant. I think he was a guy who thought he knew the right way. As such, I think he ended up putting a lot of handcuffs on a coach who MAY have been able to do some good work. For better or worse, I don't think we ever got to see what FHCMR was capable of. As I understand it he was forced: To maybe not recruit JUCOs To use Billy Davany (who could veto recruiting offers?) To implement rugby style tackling To hire Bob Diaco I might be missing some things. The long and short is, it sounds like FADSE micromanaged Riley. My impression is, this played out poorly rather than helping FHCMR. I think this is potentially an important asterisk to FHCMR's tenure. He is without a doubt a man of high character. I would hate it if FADSE cost him the opportunity for future jobs where he could be successful even if his time with us needed to be done.

Yup. I think we're all behind him. I just wonder if we can stand the growing pains. He asked for a 7 year contract for a reason. If we as fans get impatient, it's going to be rough. He went to UCF because it was the right fit, he went to Nebraska because it's home. Getting fit the way it needs to be has the potential to take a bit IMO.

I don't know how true this is. There's only so much you can do when your boss, the guy that officially gives the schollies says you gotta do something. I think the more details that come out, the more I buy into the idea that Riley was handcuffs.

All N. Forever and ever.

To your credit, you also toned it down a ton.

Your sources were spot on it seems. You gained a lot of credibility with me over this hire.
