  1. No more tip-toeing around this.  I'm just going to say it...the tunnel walk sucked this year and expectations were set pretty low after last year's version.

      I loved the red light effect, but that was usually in between the 3rd and 4th quarters wasn't it?  Also, why didn't they do that in the Iowa game?

      I say the tunnel walk sucks at the beginning of the year and get bashed for it. Another guy makes the exact same claim after the season is over and people actually agree. Strange

      I think they did go red with the lights but it was daytime. 

  2. Here's to hoping we see the same 2nd half improvement that we saw last year!

  3. I'm getting the sense that our 0-fer record is almost a badge of pride for the fans.  It means more than just winning and losing.

      @Cdog923 I do not believe the pride is for the record, but more for things moving in the right direction. I feel good about the progression, not the record, as you point out. That will come, just maybe not as fast as one would like.

      That showing at Evanston, Ill., shows that Nebraska fans have no equal. We're 0-5 and taking over somebody else's stadium to the point where they have to go to a silent cadence. WOW! Impressive!

      Keep showing up!  Really proves the best fan title is deserved. And for the record, I’d lose with you guys anytime    and anywhere 

  4. We need better captaining from our captains.

      We need better play from some of our captains

  5. I kept hearing how UCF didn't have any soft tissue injuries last season, but somehow we get one in the first game to our most important player. Frost has to overcome some serious bad mojo.

      Did UCF have Mike Riley's "workout if you really wanna" approach?

      I don’t think they fumbled much either.

      @ScottyIce Are there many knee injuries that aren't soft tissue injuries?

  6. I hope Pickering carries on our streak of good kickers.  We have made 82% of our field goals since '05 but our worst year was Drew Brown's first season.  That makes me nervous in a season that I think we will have some tight games.

  7. Chinander said there will be no more than 11 Blackshirts.  That should make some people happy.

      Good thing it's 11.  Because one more would draw a penalty flag

  8. I can't wait for the Megathread's '30 for 30'.  When will I be able to by the print copy on Amazon?

    1. VectorVictor

      VectorVictor

      Um...probably after the 30 for 30 film on the Scott Frost megathread airs.

       

      I'm doing my interview next Tuesday, and I'm probably in the middle of the pack as far as the posters go. 

    2. ScottyIce

      ScottyIce

      Sorry. There are 2 posters refusing to be interviewed. Production has stalled. Word on the street is that they can't locate Jessica or Jessica Jr. for comments.

      What if I was to tell you a poor season, a firing, and a rare Frost in Florida could capture the data limits of the heartland.    

  9. Going to my first game this year and I'm bringing my 5 year old to his first home game.  I have a pretty good idea of what to expect from the team, but I'm hoping the crowd and the experience don't let me down. Wear red, be loud! (even if it's just for my kid)

  10. Johnny Stanton is playing on ESPN2 right now.  It's good to see him doing well.

    1. TonyStalloni

      Just threw a couple of nice passes too.  I'm glad he is playing.

    2. krc1995

      krc1995

      I wish him well.  Still, the images of his lonely horsehead self at the Nu basketball game are what comes to my mind

  11. Has it been mentioned at all that not only did our O-line shut down Rolland-Jones, but I never heard him mentioned in a play?  I heard a lot about him leading up to the game, but it doesn't seem like any credit was given for shutting him down.

      I didn't think he got a sack.  Forget what I said if he had one.  I thought he ended with just a couple tackles.

      Caleb Caston got the sack. 26 second mark.

      Well darn it! That truth just doesn't fit the narrative some want to portray.

  12. Is it safe to enter or should I wait until after we beat Oregon?

    1. Huskerzoo

      Still a little doom and gloomy. Post at your own risk. 

    2. VectorVictor

      I'd wait. If we're boatraced out of Eugene, then you probably won't have to worry, as the board will melt down and chaos will descend upon the land.

      You should totally wait until we beat Oregon.

  13. Major lack of excitement at the media day press conference. Didn't even have enough questions to fill the time. Even Brohm at Purdue used the whole time.

      The thing is that the side sessions are SO HARD to hear. Like insanely difficult - and somehow they made it worse this year.

       

      That's definitely where the more interesting stuff happens but unless you stand there for an hour with a recorder and then listen through the audio later, you can barely hear a word spoken by anyone popular.

    3. Landlord

      Trying to get to Riley, Fleck and the NU players today to ask about the chair. If I can accomplish those three I'm not even going to bother trying to hear anyone else it's such a chore.

       

      The big room is intimidating, the individual podium stuff is an overcrowded marketplace. Weird dichotomy.

      Honestly, I've never really paid that much attention to the live press conference. I just read the quotes online. I was bored at work and decided to watch. It's all making sense to me know that the good stuff is coming out later.

  14. The Bud Crawford fight will be the biggest event the PBA will ever hold. Is there anything that could even compare to this?

      His last fight was a headliner at Madison Square Garden. This is a bigger fight than that.

      I guess that's a pretty big deal. I didn't give it much credit initially because boxing is only a fraction of what it used to be and I'd never heard of the guy before. How'd they get a fight like that in Lincoln?

    4. Savage Husker

      Savage Husker

      He's a local kid who takes less money to fight in his backyard to promote Omaha, NU, even CU, and now Lincoln. He has fought in MSG and in Dallas too, but mostly fights out of Omaha after becoming world champ.

  15. Is it just me, or has very little been made about the change to a 9 game conference schedule. I didn't realize that happened this year.

      For some reason I thought it was next year. Maybe that changed when we added Maryland and Rutgers? I lost track somewhere and was surprised to see 9 conference games this summer.

      Next year the B10 can no longer schedule FCS opponents. Yes, this was made before the IA loss....

    4. JJ Husker

      Pretty sure Indiana is our 4th non-con game this year. They can't be in the B1G or surely we would have played them before...

  16. Oregon is wearing some butt ugly uniforms tomorrow. Advantage us!

  17. So it's ok to give athletes laptops, but it's an NCAA violation to give optional textbooks. I don't get it.

      We're not currently on probation, that ended in 2014, but the "repeat offender" window lasts five years after probation ends, so if we have another such scandal before 2019 we could be hit with harsher penalties.

    3. NUance

      Well I hope we don't get caught giving out textbooks again. We could get the death sentence!

    4. JJ Husker

      JJ Husker

      How dare we help educate our players. Football players don't need no stinkin' textbooks. You go NCAA. Keep us in line with your well thought out and fair rules and stuff.

  18. I bet Michigan St. wished they had practiced more during their bye week.

      Bye week curse could hurt us too

  19. Any idea when they will announce the time of the Iowa game?

    1. ColoradoHusk

      ColoradoHusk

      They usually announce the game time the Monday 2 weeks before the game weekend. So, probably next Monday.

      I completely forgot we had a bye week in between. Thanks.

  20. Is it ok to drink the kool-aid on our basketball team?

      Ya. Just be ready for inconsistency like TTRR said. But there will be some exciting bball actually played. It will be fun to watch win or lose IMO. Future looks bright though!!

  21. Will we go a month without wearing red?

      Flat black, duck tape gray, and trash bag black.

      We aren't worthy of wearing red right now.

      We'll wear them against Michigan State.

  22. If this is some kind of test, keep it coming. I'm not going anywhere. GBR!

  23. No TWOS for Miami week is one of the biggest disappoints of my life. My actual life is the biggest.

      Didn't get one last week also. :(

      He said he wasn't going to do one every week, but it would have been nice to get one for a big game this week.

    4. STL Husker

      STL Husker

      He said he wasn't going to do one every week but if not Miami, then who? Maybe it's bad luck.

  24. Maybe it's just me, but I don't think you can tell who the suspensions from the depth chart.

  25. @fauxpelini: Internet sportsman of the year!
