no, it was the 4th time UNL wore them..  Huskers are 0-4 in the uniforms.
I know they've worn black jerseys, but didn't they wear white pants?

Yeah, this is hilariously arrogant.

Issue #1: Player development

Issue #2: Culture / player fit

...everything else.
It was more tongue in cheek, honestly. Wasn't meant to be arrogant.

“Good game Nebraska,” read a since-deleted post from Illinois Athletics' official Twitter account. “Thanks for bringing back (Big Ten) football.”

NU lost by 18 to a 17-point underdog. Even if the burn was oddly sharp — Scott Frost talked all week about how much he respected Illinois coach Lovie Smith — there wasn’t much the Huskers could do after the fact to stop the sarcasm.


________________________________________________

I don't have a problem with the tweet.  but, thankful the Husker tweets don't do this

perhaps Frost was effusive in his proclocation of Lovie's respect, because it wasn't always like this?

the Hoosier coach didn't seem to have nice things to say about Frost last season

hah, Madison's location isn't much better than Lincoln's

Badgers probably have fewer Texans on the roster as well

I'd rather have a great QB and average WRs than the reverse.

Maybe gimme a good tight end.
Amen. Brady made average WRs household names for 20 years in New England. 

Great QB and good scheme and play-caller can get WRs open.

It was just a little joke, guys.  I think the consensus is wanting a great QB over a great WR, if you can only have one.

I don't know about that. Wisconsin has almost 7 million people. Lots more instate kids to pick from, and considering Minnesota is also instate, the pool is even larger.

I imagine a good OC with a great QB makes for a lethal combo, as a competent OC can mix in plays that compensate for more average WRs, and a very good TE is a duh help.  I suppose if the OL is porous if can render a great QB somewhat impotent.

I heard the term "Cover Zero" from the Dawg QB, I had not heard that before, I understand the meaning, I'm not sure why the term had escaped me, maybe they just call it man to man otherwise?  He was commenting that Miss State was in Cover Zero fairly often and that is why he went up top (duh).

It doesn't HAVE to mean man, a lot of teams run Cover 0 in goal line situations, or 4th-and-1, which is why you get so many long TDs in that situation - no one is back there to slow them down.

So going off the Harbaugh/Frost thing.....how are Husker fans feeling about the Frost hire?  I know the results haven't been great, but are you guys still optimistic?  
I feel a little bit like Tommy Lasorda when asked about Dave Kingman's performance.
