2019 Nebraska Season Thread

yes, or escalators

slides or fire house brass poles would be good, for going down

Yeah, probably escalators.
How about firehouse poles, and if you can climb up the pole you win a free beer?

free Runza sammich

no alcohol served on University or state property

[CWSooner]

I'm surprised you actually go to the games then.

it's merely a 3 hour break

I know many Nebraska fans are looking for someone to blame for the poor performance Saturday, but  in my opinion the blame resides in their expectations.

In 1998 when Frank Solich took over as coach, UNL was loaded with NFL talent and a future Heisman Trophy winner.
In 2004 when Bill Callahan took over as coach, he inherited a team that averaged 4 NFL draft picks per year over his first 3 yrs as coach (almost exclusively on defense and OL)
In 2008 when Bo took over as coach, he inherited a team that averaged 4 NFL draft picks per year over his first 3 yrs as coach (again, mostly OL and Defense)
In 2015 when Riley took over as coach, he inherited a team that averaged 2 NFL draft picks per year over his first 3 yrs as coach (final two years were only 1 each year)
In 2018 when Frost took over as coach, he inherited a team that had Zero draft picks in 2019. 

From 1994-1997 UNL averaged almost 7 NFL draft picks per year.    I realize NFL draft picks exclude people like Tommie Frazier who was a great CF player.  However, it is a good way to directionally review talent. Talent is nowhere near the 90's.  It has been slowly declining since Callahan was fired.  

Frost did not inherit near the talent his predecessors inherited.  He will need more than 1.5 yrs to fix it.

fans just hate losing to "rivals" such as the Buffs two years in a row in games that easily could have been wins

they also hate blowouts to anyone

they lose their minds, IF they ever had them......... and start blaming good coaches and good QBs

Frost and Martinez aren't going anywhere, they are both strong enough to stand up to the mindless fans

no alcohol served on University or state property

By whom?

[FearlessF]

by anyone legally

K. Davis suspended by B1G one game for something he did in osu game.  Does anyone have good video for this? Lots of clips which seem to be speculative. 

[FearlessF]

doesn't appear to be good video of the infraction, but Frost is not denying it. 

>> Frost said they found out about Khalil Davis’ one-game suspension from the Big Ten late Tuesday, early Wednesday. They didn't know about what had happened during the game, Frost said, or they would have acted on it then. Frost was pretty vague when talking about the incident itself, and the TV broadcast doesn't show what actually happened, but he added that Davis will also face internal discipline as well as the one-game suspension handed down by the conference.


“We don’t condone what he did on the field,” Frost said. “So I support and agree with the decision.”

Nebraska v Illinois in 2021 will be played at beginning of season, in Dublin, Ireland.

I get this and I agree, but I am surprised that Nebraska is looking THIS bad.  They have played four B1G games so far and in each of those they have done worse or as bad as every other B1G team to play that opponent:

• They lost to tOSU by 41.  That is as bad as IU and worse than MSU (24).  
• They lost to Minnesota by 27.  That is worse than PU (7) and ILL (23).  
• They beat Northwestern by 3.  That is worse than MSU (21) and UW (9).  
• They beat Illinois by 4.  That is worse than Michigan (17) and MN (23).  

The Cornhuskers need two more wins to go bowling and right now I don't think that is any better than a 50/50 chance at best.  I'm surprised, I didn't expect them to get to the CFP this year, but I didn't expect them to struggle for bowl eligibility either.  

[FearlessF]

agreed, the Huskers look like they have not improved from last season

strange

[MarqHusker]

My 6-6 doesn't look so bad of a prediction now.
