  • NU’s time messing around by not sending Riley out the door is going to cost them Frost. Forever.

    @ZRod Yeah, I realize that but it just isn't an option for them to get it wrong again.

    @Coach Power'T   IF (and it is an outrageous "if") your post about winning out happens, I think I would be happy to keep Riley.  Even though his style isn't anything to get excited about, that accomplishment would show a lot of how he can pull a team together and save them from collapse.  I don't want to see it used as an excuse, but this is a pretty young team.  And if they finish 8-4 with a finish like your post describes, I'd be pretty excited for next year.

    If the impossible halpens and they finish 8-4, Riley still gets replaced.  But, if he manages to stay another year, I promise you Nebraska plays a different style of offense in 2019.  So either way, next year this team will be different.

    The documentary on Netflix "Oklahoma City" is fascinating. I've never known much of the story of the bombing but the backstory of the Aryan Nations, Ruby Ridge and Davidians is nuts! I never knew anything about any of this. I was only like 5-8 years old during this whole thing.

    Ruby Ridge and Waco really set some people on edge.

    There is another documentary on net flix about Ruby Ridge that is very good. The name of it escapes me right now.

    Oklahoma City isn't really a destination city, but if you ever get the chance please go to the memorial. It's extremely sad, disturbing, and yet fascinating.

    I remember the Waco being all over the news, and not really understanding any of it at the time.

    I have never been so excited for a season to end. Oregon's basically done. NU is just waiting to fire Riley (thank god). I really want Frost to be the coach at NU. After that, I've got a handful of guys that I think would be great options but are more risky. 

    Since the Frank Solich firing, Iowa has 2 losing seasons. NU is on the verge of its 4th.

    That tells you all you need to know. West Coast dudes responsible for all 4. Combined 7 Seasons, potentially 4 losing...That's unacceptable

    Stability with a competent coach goes a long way

    Wisconsin has three different coaches since 2012 and they're still competing for conference championships just about every year.  The stability comes from coaches who understand their system and how to maximize the talent they have on the roster.

    I was listening one of our local sports folks on the radio yesterday and they said the same thing, Knap. Even though Wiscy has had different coaches their identity has remained the same. They play the same kind of football they played since Alverez (sp?) came there. When Frank was fired NU started losing their identity and it's been downhill ever since. 

    I still think Nebraska will win 8-9 more games. I'm staying with my projection of 10-2 (had NU losing to Oregon) and I said it was only going to be because of defensive struggles early as the transition takes place. As the year goes on, the defense will get better. OSU is not invincible, NW is worse than originally thought, Iowa isn't great. Penn State is the real tough one in my opinion

    We certainly could win that many.  Lots of football to be played.  I still fell good with 7-5, 8-4 is the top of the ladder IMO.  No debate with you or anyone else.   I sure hope we can begin to put pressure on these passing downs.  I think we are still three draft classes away and there isn't time for that.

    We would have to beat 2/3 teams of Wisconsin, Penn St, Ohio St ....along with the winning all the others. Not gonna happen

    Yea, that's not going to happen. 

    Oregon "GUN CONFISCATION" signed into law. I'm sick of seeing misleading bs uber-right sites with these head lines on my facebook! 

    People! Please read the real information! I'm not even an anti gun person but I'm not about to side with morons.

    I think I saw this one on FB a few days ago. I only started FB to see my family's pics.  It is such a wasteland now!  Polluted by far right and left garbage.

    The truth to falsehood ratio on those so-called alt-right news sites is about 1/10, and that might be pretty generous. It is so discouraging to see them be shared as much as they are, by people who *really* should know better. Are people really that stupid, or is it that people are simply no longer interested in truth as long as ideology is served?

    Yup, as an avid gun owner/shooter, I hate that stuff. Misinformation (or actual FAKE NEWS) is the worst.

    Not a fan. The last time a message board I loved changed its format. It died.

    That is not the case, ATB. This is basically an off the shelf message board software.

    As noted on the site footer, we run Invision's message board software. Support for versions 3.x.x, which we had been running for some time, ended a few months ago (at least?), which made a jump to 4.x.x, which was first released in 2015, inevitable. IPS is currently on 4.2.

    It doesn't "force" an upgrade, but it's a little like when Microsoft for example stopped supporting Windows XP with security patches. So we chose to upgrade, but it was long, long overdue.

    I was just curious, that's all. I don't remember seeing that footer on the old site, so that makes sense. 

    The prevalence of confederate flags in seeing on Facebook is disturbing.

    Dude, that's awful. It's definitely not limited to the South. Those cowardly asswipes are everywhere. Makes me sick.

    OWH had an article about a month ago who lives in Omaha area and flies a confederate battle flag in front of his home. Of course he tried to say he wasn't racist and had a lame reason why he flew the flag.

    Who here makes their own salsa and cans it?

    I had a relative from Texas make some and gave it to us this last June, my wife makes homemade burritos and freezes them and I've been eating them with that salsa and homemade Guac as well...My god, its good!

    Salsa made with fresh ingredients is so much better than the jarred stuff in the store.

    Your first problem was you made a bet with someone who has "teacher" in their name. There is no money to be found on us.
