    Listened to Will Compton's podcast yesterday

    Perlman?! Please. And Eichorst would be a technicality given how little support he gave Pelini (he was brought in specifically to get rid of him.) By leaked tape, are you referring to the one from after the Ohio St. win? I seem to recall that he called out a very specific subset of fans -...

    Listened to Will Compton's podcast yesterday

    :) Just been livin' life. Been kinda hard to hang around a Husker site the last couple of years when hope of a good season gets dashed so early. I so want Frost to succeed, but he's making it very hard to justify.

    IF Frost gets canned…

    IF Frost were to get fired/let go/mutally agree to separate, I'd like to see Willie Fritz. He's succeeded everywhere he's been. He's shown he like a strong running game (might even throw in some option) and develops players.

    Listened to Will Compton's podcast yesterday

    I haven't listened to the podcast yet but I plan on it sometime soon. With that, and some hindsight, a question and my thoughts.. I agree with the first part of ECH's post (more in a moment). However, please provide some documentation on what 'stunt' he pulled, exactly? From what I remember...

    Can we be real?

    Fair enough, but I believe where the focus was, was misplaced and deserved a rebuttal. Impatience wasn't the culprit. And I don't feel that Riley's temperament is all that similar to T.O.'s. More similar than Pelini's or Devaney's? Sure, but I always saw T.O.'s demeanor as one that was...

    Did anyone notice the Offense?

    That, and the line needs to get better. I've been told that a lot of the problem right now is that they are too stiff - caused by better S&C putting on weight but leaving them stiff. Hopefully, the next phase of 'getting more flexible' starts soon. Plus, I want to see more smashmouth. I...

    Can we be real?

    I agree with you here. We were spoiled after the previous 2 coaches, but the big problem was at the AD level (and above). More care needs to be taken when hiring for this position. Because it led to... It wasn't just lack of development. It was also because he abandoned the culture that...

    That was really my only concern with the hire of Frost and the one thing I think he'd have to adjust to - the physicality of the B1G. I'm hoping that his *marriage* of Husker Power and Oregon Speed leans more toward Husker Power as time goes on. But with the emphasis on S&C again (and...

    I watch Husker football with the Roku, either the FoxNow or ESPN app, then use the TuneIn app to get the radio broadcast. With this method it's the other way - radio broadcast is up to a minute or 2 ahead. So, I hit *pause* on TuneIn and time it so that it's synced up. It might get out of...

    Michigan vs Wisconsin

    I vote both. I did think, once I heard that Harbaugh handed off the offense to someone else this season, that they were ripe for a letdown. I'm also sad to say that I'm hoping that the injury bug hits the Badgers hard between now and November....

    ESPN GAMEDAY IN LINCOLN FOR NU vs tOSU

    Here's hoping that this team plays to the level of their competition.

    Let's Thank Mike Riley Once Again

    This. Wisky is definitely the team to beat in the West this year. Hopefully, NU is close now and by the time they play, experience (and injuries) will even the playing field. I do think that the changes that Mich put into place this year (Harbaugh handing off the offense) that they were...

    Hot & Cold---S Alabama

    I agree with this, especially since I also agree with the notion that players may have believed too much of their own press. I think they (like a lot of us thought) that they could just go out and steamroll South Alabama. The system hasn't been in place long enough. Hopefully, this sets them...

    For those of you nostalgic for the Bo Days...

    And I tire of efforts to put down Pelini's coaching ability based on his interactions with the administration and the media. Was he the wrong coach we needed at Nebraska - yes. Was he FAR from being the coach? I'd say not. 1) He did win a bunch of games. While 9 wins (and 4 losses) don't...

    This offense

    While I hope you're right, even gurus miss or make a mistake from time to time. Miles got fired from LSU because he couldn't find the right guy for QB; some say the Harbaugh has finally found a guy who can run his offense; heck, even Meyer and OSU is struggling a bit this season because their...

    This offense

    Got my card right here! That's one big reason I opposed the hiring of both Callahan and Riley; their philosophies ran the opposite (throw to open the run). Still, I am impressed with AM, his maturity and ability. My only concern is: what happens if/when AM gets hurt or graduates? A robust run...

    This offense

    I think the B1G will force him to go that route; I'm sure SF occasionally thinks about the OSU v OU NC game.....

    Actually, your last sentence should read, "She just had someone at the helm who made a grave mistake" I'd say that'd be more comparable. Why We're Still Learning the Lessons of Titanic Notable quotes: "simply furnished another example of the well-established principle that if, in the...

    For those of you nostalgic for the Bo Days...

    Exactly. While he showed himself to not be the right guy for this program, he was a much better fit and a much better coach than a lot of people give him credit for. He just had a couple of critical flaws. I still think he could end up being a very successful D1 coach - he needs some...
