  1. 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

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

  3. 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.

  4. 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?

  5. 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 

  6. 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. 

  7. We need better captaining from our captains.

    1. C N Red

      We need better play from some of our captains

  8. 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)

  9. 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.

  10. 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

      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.    

  11. 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.

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

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

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

  13. @fauxpelini: Internet sportsman of the year!

  14. 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.

  15. For those of you in St. Louis, Channel 5 is doing a piece on Jack Hoffman after the game. He is in St. Louis for some reason. Pretty cool.

  19. I'm starting to get a really good feeling about this team. I don't know what it is but I think there is something special going on. I haven't had this feeling in about a year so it mustbe legit.

      AGREED. GBR!!!!!

  21. Is I-29 still closed between St. Joe and Nebraska City? Anyone know what the best alternate route from St. Louis to Omaha is?

      Thanks for the info. I'll probably go through Topeka then.

      Im headed to the STL area in a couple of weeks. Im gonna take hwy 75 route to Topeka also. But have been told that there is alot of construction on that road, but none are closed. Solution- leaving at midnight with a monster energy in the cup holder and pringles in the passenger seat.

  22. 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....

      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...

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

      I'll buy a round.

      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!!

  24. Is it possible to play with a swagger if you also have to stay humble?

      Thanks_Tom RR

      Stay humble enough to know you have to take preparation seriously always which will allow you to play like a beast on Saturday.

      Swag is nothing more than confidence. Being humble and having swagger are not mutually exclusive.

  25. 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.

      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.
