With how much these things seem to get renovations so frequently, could totally see a freshening up of all facilities soon. It's one of those things that Nebraska seems to have done it at just a little early. Teams like Maryland and Kentucky have insane facilities now with great technology. To see what Nebraska could fashion with the space they have, B1G money, and increased interest in the program could very well be the most impressive in the country. 1 Link to comment

Maybe they should just go and hire him as a head coach (again) just to put this nightmare behind them... It's the only way to break the Fulmer Curse. Link to comment

Interesting read on how fast others outpace updating their facilities And, as an aside - the first picture shows Clemson's 18 hole mini golf course. I demand right now we get one of those.

People are trying to think up clever names to describe the defense/offense once Scott starts coaching. What I think will be fun is when we beat the crap out of another team (can't wait-I hope it's Iowa!) we can say, "YOU GOT FROSTED!" FROSTED CUPCAKES, ANYONE!!! 2 Link to comment

Today the football program is an embarrassing shell of days gone past. For years now we have stood unwavering by the Husker program. Hanging on to the small hope that the glory of champions are within their grasp. But only disappointment prevailed. Small slivers of hope throughout the years that never came to fruition. Its been hard no doubt. But we've been proud. Tomorrow my friends hope has a new meaning. Its real and it will sustain for years. We know it may take a while so no disappointments are in our future for quite some time. Tomorrow we all hang our heads high! He's coming home! And hope will be a thing of the past! I'm 25 and so I was 9 the last time Nebraska won a CCG let alone a National Title. I remember when I was a kid that NU was the best and supposed to be untouchable, but obviously don't remember the games. The vast majority of my NU football memories are The Bo/MR years.

One poster on this board claimed he heard Benning call SF a "creeper" back several years ago on the radio. The way I hear it, Benning was pissed that Frost blew up the only diamonds he had spent days trying to find. /If you don't get it, ask your kids 2 Link to comment

This would be the equivalent of TO interfering in past hires/searches which obviously I can't imagine. Maybe they should just give themselves the death penalty at this point. Put a stop to the football program. Wow, just Wow! 1 Link to comment

"By the time we're done ... we'll be right back behind them all again," said Stephen Ludwig, a member of Colorado's board of regents. "It's a never-ending arms race to build shiny objects that appeal to 17-year-olds, so they'll pick us instead of someone else." I mean, you could just stop trying and drop athletics entirely. We wouldn't miss you too much, I promise. 1 Link to comment

InOmaha Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 (edited) Facilities aside, we are still the only team in the country that can fill a 90,000 seat stadium with people to watch a 4-7 team. I noticed some of the top ten teams in the country couldn't fill their stadiums at times this year. One I think was even playing a decently ranked team. The last Miami home game looked worse then our spring game. We may be the only team in the country that can bring a recruit to visit any home game and the pregame experience will feel the same whether we're playing Arkansas State or Ohio State. If the team gets better, that experience will only get better. If you like playing for a packed house, you'll have it here, week in, week out. Edited December 1, 2017 by InOmaha 5 Link to comment
hskrpwr13 Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 I mean, hey, we can always rebuild the Ranch Bowl in Lincoln. I just assume we invest in player development and play athletics. Not sure golf and water slides will produce the results we're looking for. 1 Link to comment
