At first I was against them, but they’ve grown on me since then. I think they will look better once they get on the field and score a s#!tload of points.

NU 38

CU 24

Pass 206

Rush 245

Nebraska 52 - 6 Akron

Rush for 271

Pass for 227

2012 Wisconsin by a mile.

I’ve never been more dumbfounded by a performance and I witnessed the 2009 Iowa State game in person.

I like Billwinkle so far, he has followed thru w phase 1 of his job:  sending Riley and Fiasco packin`

 

Just has to complete phase 2-today most likely-hiring Frosty, and he can put himself on cruise control, disappear, whatev, dont even need to hear from him again.

 

BTW, Mike Leach says Moosy is THE BEST AD in the country and I respect Leach`s opinion.

+1 for Billwinkle

Revival of the Victory Bell?

We should rotate one of our non-conference games every year with a different Big 8 team.

We’ve already got Colorado and Oklahoma lined up.

I’d love to eventually see us start a home/home with Missouri, Iowa State, Kansas, Kansas State, and Oklahoma State.

Preeeeeetty sure the fans would be down for that.  Amirite?

Yes!  More speculation about the true feelings of talk show hosts!  It was so fascinating the first time around!

My guess is he's going to rip the bandaid off.... That's a tough situation.  But after that game his team is the 2018 Nebraska cornfhuskers....and he probably wants to meet with his team asap.

Yeah, I guess there’s zero chance he coaches in the bowl game, so I’m not sure why I thought he’d need to be with UCF players for that.  He needs time to assemble his staff, evaluate the staff, recruit the current and future players to stay/come, etc.  You’re probably right

Yeah, it won’t be the #1 thing, but I’m just suggesting they’ll pull the trigger at a more opportune time than Sunday.

If UCF wins, you’ll want him to be able to celebrate with his team for the rest of Saturday at least, right?

So would it be Sunday morning then?  I guess the early signing period really accelerates things.

He'll be introduced Sunday...not Saturday

You’d think he’d want to be with his players when the bowl matchups are selected on Sunday.

I’m guessing, because of this, we won’t find out until Monday morning or later.

I’m sure we’ll want to dominate the news cycle.

1620 was reporting that the camera crew at Frost's parents house was made up.

IIRC, Josh said Matt Reynoldson of HuskerOnline reported that Frost’s parents were contacted via a phone call, but the reporter took it upon himself to make it sound worse.  At least that’s the impression I got from everything.

That our children should be eaten by gators.

 

Note: they actually said that.

To be fair, one person said that and the mods deleted the post.

Just keep chip kelly out of the picture.  the thought of him having his nike contacts come in and turn the team into a bunch of track stars makes me wanna vomit.  run the damn ball!

Chip Kelly ran the damn ball.

A lot.

At a pace that defenses hated.

We would be lucky to have him.

Colorado State is doing a lot of good things.  Definitely a smart marketing move to go with the state flag uniforms.

Chris Del Conte was appointed TCU's director of intercollegiate athletics in October 2009.

Since his arrival on campus, Del Conte has overseen a series of historic moments for TCU Athletics that include the Horned Frogs' July 1, 2012 entrance into the Big 12 Conference and over $300 million in construction projects that were all donor funded.

The momentum around TCU is evident in its donor support. The 2017 fiscal year saw a new record-breaking Frog Club Annual Giving total of $13,231,727 with $31,876,783 in overall athletic giving. The three highest totals in overall athletic giving at TCU have come in the last four years.

The partnership between TCU, Fort Worth and the Metroplex has never been stronger. In 2016, a sellout of football season tickets occurred for the fourth time in five seasons. During that time, in addition to football, baseball, men's basketball, women's basketball, soccer, men's tennis, track and field and volleyball have set either season ticket or attendance records.

The Horned Frogs' success story extends to the classroom. In each of the last three semesters, dating back to Spring 2016, TCU student-athletes have posted the top-three cumulative grade-point averages in program history. In each case, it's been over a 3.0. In 2016-17, 120 student-athletes earned their degrees.

Under Del Conte, five TCU head coaches (Gary Patterson, football; Jim Schlossnagle, baseball; Karen Monez, rifle; David Roditi, men's tennis; Haley Schoolfield, equestrian) have been named National Coach of the Year in their respective sports.

During Del Conte's time on campus, two national team championships and five individual NCAA track and field titles have been won. In its opening five years of Big 12 play, TCU has captured conference team championships in football, baseball and men's tennis. Overall, 10 sports (baseball, women's basketball, football, women's golf, rifle, men's swimming and diving, men's tennis, women's tennis, women's indoor and outdoor track and field) have won conference titles under Del Conte, who has seen 17 of 21 sports represented in NCAA postseason play.

Other milestones on the playing fields under Del Conte include the football program winning the 2011 Rose Bowl, as part of back-to-back appearances in a BCS game, and the baseball program reaching the College World Series in four consecutive seasons (2014-17) and five times in eight years. Men's basketball won the 2017 NIT Championship in its first season under Dixon.

Del Conte was the recipient of a 2015 NACDA Under Armour AD of the Year Award and the 2010 Bobby Dodd Division I-A Athletic Director's Award. In February 2015, he was named to the NCAA Division I Baseball Championship Committee.

T-C-U!

T-C-U!

Come on up, Del Conte!

Scott Frost/Chip Kelly

I've cooled on Coach Dub quite a bit myself.  I, like many others, bought right into the hype, but he really hasn't produced results warranting the praise he gets for recruiting since he's been here.  

What if we reunited Chip Kelly and Scott Frost somehow?

I would love to see us revert back to an option-based offense.  Those two have proven to be pretty good with that style of offense.

It's a pie-in-the-sky notion to float out there, but there you go.

I don't hate the defensive staff.  I think we can improve in some areas, but as a whole, I like the personnel we have on that side of the ball.

The bigger question, in my opinion, is who would replace Shawn Eichorst?
