  1. That is not at all the same since Frost wasn't just the head coach of a Super Bowl winning NFL team...
  2. seaofred you are talking about all the things they do poorly but I haven't seen any credit to the things they do well. You couldn't complain about how we should have beaten Ohio State or Kansas if we didn't compete in those games to begin with which a lot of teams in the country can't say they have. Do I think Miles is the best coach out there? No, not by a long shot, but I think he deserves the chance to see how this season plays out and what he can build from that as this season has had huge sparks that look like something we can be proud of. Every coach has head scratching decisions and certain Achilles heel type tendencies but not many coaches have gotten Nebraska basketball to where Miles has previously and could this year. I'm an eternal optimist and while I don't want the losing seasons we have had, we have to give and take a little and hope what we are seeing now with current players and this season can move the curve to the winning side continuously. Late season losing streak this year though and the chances are over...
  3. Maybe someone could point me to where I am wrong but haven't we heard these exact same lines for previous strength coaches and workouts Nebraska has had and brought in? I know we have done the Navy Seal stuff multiple times and I know we had a huge thread about how pumped everyone was for Philipp to come in and change the strength culture.
  4. Look for news here that Jordy will no longer be with the team. I believe this is due to him leaving but am not positive on the specifics.
  5. I never get Runzas at the actual Runza (mostly because their burgers and chicken strips are awesome) but a Runza at a football game is amazing. Not sure why.
  6. Hate Eichorst all you want (I'm neutral) but he is obviously working really hard to improve all athletics at Nebraska and I think that deserves some appreciation.
  7. From my understanding they are having the fan fest and opening up the field to people but no camp will be going on.
  8. I didn't see anyone doing autographs and I was there for the fan fest from about 5-6:30 going in the stadium about 6. Some players might have come over to the fence to do some signings but nothing official.
  9. First week with fan fest was awesome and unfortunately/thankfully (as it got cancelled and had some crazy storms) I had my two young girls with me so had to leave early and didn't see much of FNL. Free pizza, chicken sandwiches, sub sandwiches, hot dogs, snow cones, face painting, balloon animals, games, then go watch some high caliber talent light up the practice after.
  10. Yes Minnesota may be improving their commitment to football with the revenue but that doesn't mean they are jumping ahead of us in recruiting rankings just because they are closer to some higher talent. We have a few more down years and they keep improving, then yes this could change, but the fact of the argument is, it hasn't.
  11. My wife and I are bringing our 2 year old and baby out tonight and we'll watch some of the FNL stuff after the fan fest. We came to FNL last year and just enjoyed getting out of the house and sitting in the stadium but this seems like it will be a lot of fun. Anyone have a guess on how many people they might get each week? I'm guessing a lot more of the hardcore fans will come next week as the list of attendees has multiple stars compared to a few this week.
  12. Maybe I'm not looking at this from the same perspective as you are but I'm not seeing how we haven't been treated fairly with our initiation and scheduling compared to any of the other schools. Yeah, not getting full funding until now kind of sucked but we knew that coming in and agreed to it as we eased into the Big 10. Our television coverage has been decent, not great, but that's also because other schools have played better than us and you put better teams on better coverage.
  13. This is a big point that stuck out to me for two reasons: 1) ever since Will Bolt left, we have yet to find a quality replacement and our hitting has suffered since then, and 2) IIRC, Erstad is taking base minimum as a coach, which is why we're able to pay top dollar and keep Silva on. We have the money to go get a quality, proven coach that's going to work with Erstad and improve the cache of this program. It just requires Eichorst actually getting off his sorry *** and helping to do something about it. How does Eichorst go out and find us a good assistant coach? Isn't that supposed to be Erstad's job which should be a bit easier taking the pay cut to offer a bit more than other schools? The investment Nebraska (Eichorst indirectly) has in baseball is much more than many schools who perform well in post season games and don't go 1-2, 0-2 BBQ.
  14. Nothing against anyone here doing the old switcheroo with season tickets as I would be doing the same thing, but based on what I'm hearing with ticket policies won't there be a lot of season tickets coming available in the next 10-15 years? People will be unfortunately passing away and the ticket office will get wise to John Smith who has been alive with season tickets for 70 years and start charging everyone donations and a lot won't want/be able to pay the high costs. I had thought everyone paid these donation prices as my parents were never big live game people so they never had season tickets but hearing that (a lot?) of people are grandfathered in scares me a bit for the donation levels and if the University can keep up the sales?
  15. I would argue that none have made a ton of "progress" in the B1G compared to where they were the last few years of Big 12. There seems to be an uptick for one reason or another in all sports but I wouldn't say any have made actual progress until they have some continued success outside of a few big games or small stretches.
