Some fan if he didn't recognize coach Walters.

I don't know if many NU fans would recognize our assistant coaches outside Nebraska.  Only the super dorks who obsess over NU might recognize them right away.

I’m guilty of being one of the super dorks.

I'm a super dork, too.  But, most NU fans aren't.

A Pappadeaux and a Pappasito's next to the river where Rick's Boatyard used to be might be the panacea needed for the Omaha riverfront.  Never a bad meal there.  I think the location in Marietta, GA probably prints money as it is always packed.  I always stop at the Pappadeaux on the way from Denver to Colorado Springs.

Mississippi schools are basically the anti Nebraska. They have 7 conference championships between them, but Mississippi and its bordering states are ranked 6th, 8th, 11th, and 13th when it comes to # of college football recruits. And they just chant "SEC" whenever a recruit visits. A lot of people like to see Nebraska should be able to be top 10 and top 5 and completely ignore distance as a factor, when it is one of the most important factors there is. I think Nebraska's recruiting will improve but teenagers don't get excited when they think of moving to what they see as a corn field far away from what they know.

That offer counts list has a lot of schools who recently got new head coaches at the top, which makes sense as they're probably going through a lot of roster overhaul like we are. I'm curious about UCLA being second from the bottom, though - Chip Kelly was new this season as well. There's certainly some comparisons that can be drawn between us and them, with Frost being a former Kelly assistant and both getting off to a crappy start this year (they finished 3-9). Right now, their class is ranked #60, with just 12 commits. Anybody know what's going on there?

Man, talk about about a buzz kill. Complacent, poor me attitude that brought our downfall as a program. Perception is reality and Frost won’t just whine about how recruits just see this as a cornfield bla bla bla. He’ll find an opportunity where others find a disadvantage and in turn make kids want to come to these “corn fields.” I’m not saying we’re not at a disadvantageous but saying something is factual based on yours or others negative perceptions isn’t productive and needs to stop.

Why is it a buzz kill? It's the reality, but it doesn't mean any of us should think Nebraska isn't going to get a lot better.

This has nothing to do with my post.

Did someone say that Frost would whine about how recruits just see this as a cornfield bla bla bla?

Ya, he's doing a good job at recruiting. I think we can win championships if we regularly get top 15 classes. Getting top 20-25 classes is a good start.

What are you talking about here? Many people outside of Nebraska think it's a bunch of cornfields. That is a fact. It's not my perception, it's outsiders' perceptions.

Why? This is a message board. Stating on this forum that our location is difficult to recruit due to perception or # of available recruits in the area does not have an effect on the recruiting class.

Ok ok. You didn’t have to handle it all mature like.
