That is still a distant second to the Eagles. No fanbase can demean opponents, or their own players for that matter, better than Philadelphia. Throwing batteries and having a court inside the stadium to adjudicate criminal behavior at games will always reign supreme in this department. 1 Quote Link to comment

Nothing beats the waves you get when driving through philly. The middle finger is the state bird. My wife is from just over the bridge in Jersey haha I could never live in a place like philly.

We demolished Northwestern and haven't played Purdue yet. The Minnesota game was frustrating, I'm looking forward to our remainkng games.....and I'd really like it if we could get the right side of the OL figured out someday. Sincerely, enjoy the games for what they are worth. I was winterizing gardens on Saturday and had honestly forgotten that the Minnesota game was even on. Stats and highlights are about all I could tolerate these days. Quote Link to comment

Philly is also the only airport that I successfully ran through in under 5 minutes without shoes! Made my flight to raucous applause by all the gate personnel! Quote Link to comment

Basic Gardening Lesson #1 - Avoid watering or sprinkling plants during times of frost or freeze. The result could be a pipe burst or blown gasket. Come to think of it, a blown gasket is a perfect descriptor for those watching Husker Football these days. In terms of being fair weather, I know you can do better than that. Now your title in reverse, that might stir me to the core!!! 1 1 Quote Link to comment

You are the prototypical fair weather fan. A glass half empty kind of guy. Nobody gives two s#!ts about what you do or don’t do on game day. Or your gardening. The fact that you rant when the program is in shambles tells us exactly what you are — a fair weather fan. I’m sure you keep your mouth shut like a good lil boy when we’re winning and ranked hmm? 1 2 Quote Link to comment
Hooked on Huskers Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Tommie Frazier was a great player and at the same time, Tommie was a horrible HC. He tried but failed .... just like SF. Without McKenzie Milton, UCF failed too. Quote Link to comment

I have not watched since CU (2018). Incidentally, congrats to Mel Tucker on defeating Coach Frost while at both CU and MSU. Both schools got good value with their hire. Thanks for responding as I know you do care. I was moved when I read your insults. I know they originate from a place of purity, a garden variety inferiority complex. I knew I could incorporate your hatred of gardening into my response! Be well my friend and use Xanax if necessary. 1 Quote Link to comment

cheekygeek Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Here is part of the equation that no one is considering: At Nebraska, the AD is judged by the quality of the football head coach that he brings in. Pederson and Eichorst were both let go for "a lack of success" (clearly talking football program). They were both hung by their choices of Football Head Coach. At Nebraska, the AD's length of term is inextricably tied to the success of the Nebraska football head coach. Given that indisputable fact, why would a new AD want to come in and make a change immediately? Because the boosters want him to? Face it, Trev Alberts isn't just new to a job at this level, he's still getting the "lay of the land". Other than the power of being able to write a big check, does anyone really think he's ready to choose the coach that HIS legacy as AD will be judged by? No. He wants to put that day off as long as humanly possible. Every year he can justify putting it off, is another years salary in the bank. And, frankly, hopefully his list of possible candidates and backdoor communication channels can be established - putting him in a position to avoid the mistake that Pederson made - letting a coach go without having a solid plan for getting a QUALITY replacement. Similarly, a head coach is defined by his choice of QB. Frost has been loyal to only ONE (perhaps to a fault). I have the feeling that Adrian will be encouraged NOT to come back for another year, just because the fan base needs to see somebody new (just like we need to see changes at Assistant Coach). EDIT: Hilarious. I'm not a big Twitter guy but I go there just now and find this. Quote Link to comment

Keyboard warrior indeed. Brains over beauty. Glad to see you have a good sense of humor. I left my physical garden earlier and am now in my virtual garden. Here I cultivate a crop of realism and pragmatism amongst a disillusioned fanbase. I will send the Webster's link for "disillusioned" tomorrow. Quote Link to comment
In the Deed the Glory Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 @Redux I hate to break it to you but the bad hires have been two in a row, with Frost being an awful one. It’s obvious at this point. He doesn’t go to a bowl game he is done. 1 1 Quote Link to comment
