Things seem just as bad now as they were in 2017 when we lost to Northern Illinois and fired that Steve Einhorn guy. Now we are very likely going to be creampied by a team with a coach accused of harboring an abusive and low key racist environment. Very 2020 and very cool.
I honestly don’t even understand how you guys watch this dumpster fire every week. My life has been so much more calm and tranquil by not watching. I saw about a series each way in yesterday’s game and almost put a hole in my coffee table. I just want some shady shit and money bags to be flying around. Like a, Hugh Freeze at Ole Miss, type shit.
The thing with me is, the last few years I have continued to watch but its more just like a "I'm watching because thats what I am supposed to do" thing. I don't get mad about the outcomes anymore, hell, half the time I can't even get excited because I know the meltdown is coming soon (see the last two weeks). Maybe I am part of the problem, because sometimes I wonder if the fans being blindly loyal is holding us back. Not in a Bo Pelini way, but in the sense, Nebraska Football has continuously cashed checks even though the results are a complete embarrassment. Maybe when the money printer stops within the AD these losers will take it seriously.
I only watch now for comedy relief. I like to see what new ways Frost can outdo himself from the week before. This week it was not reviewing the obvious forward pass at your own damn 20 yard line to start the game closely followed by the fake punt where we only had 10 guys on the field. So much other little stuff you can pick up if you look for it during the game. God damn what do these guys do all week.
I had no idea this actually happened, but to credit Scott Lost himself, I'm not even shocked by that part. That clown can't get 11 dudes onto the field after a kickoff.
It’s always gonna hurt me I live 1400 miles away and still have season tickets constantly caution close relatives and friends about expectations still get miserable for 24 hours after games like that
As much as I don’t get mad during games, there’s still this weird disbelief after the game where the next couple of days I’ll think “I can’t believe we’re getting ran out of Memorial Stadium by Illinois”. Even though I’m not surprised, I still am a little bit. If Husker football wasn’t such a common thing that keeps me in touch with my friends and me and my dad talk about all the time, it’d be a lot easier to completely throw in the towel.
Once the thirty year curse flips in 2032, nobody will be able to say our generation is bandwagon. That’s for fucking sure.
I don't know about you guys, but I'm always rock-hard while watching Scott and the boys do their thing. Nothing gets me going like gross incompetence.
Spoiler A man accused of killing two Sonic Drive-In employees and injuring two others was lying facedown in the Bellevue restaurant’s parking lot before police arrested him, police body-camera footage shows. Two of the employees, Nathan Pastrana, 22, and Ryan Helbert, 28, were declared dead at the scene Saturday night. Two others, Zoey Reece Atalig Lujan, 18, and Kenneth Gerner, 25, were taken in critical condition to the Nebraska Medical Center for treatment. A hospital spokesman said Sunday night that he could not release their conditions. Bellevue police were called to the fast-food restaurant at 1307 Cornhusker Road at 9:23 p.m. Saturday. Someone saw wires and pipes sticking out of the back of a U-Haul truck, which was on fire, Bellevue Police Lt. Andy Jashinske, a police spokesman, said Sunday. About a minute later, Jashinske said, the incident was reported as a shooting. Arriving officers spotted three of the injured Sonic workers inside the restaurant building, pulled them out and began lifesaving measures, Jashinske said. The other wounded worker was found later, he said. (A fifth worker had minor injuries but refused treatment.) Minutes later, 23-year-old Roberto Carlos Silva of Omaha, who was lying on the ground with his arms outstretched, was put in handcuffs. Silva was booked into the Sarpy County Jail at 4:31 a.m. Sunday on suspicion of first-degree murder and first-degree arson. Roberto C. Silva SARPY COUNTY JAIL Jashinske said officers think that Silva drove the U-Haul to the restaurant but still were investigating. Bellevue police officers initially encountered Silva on Wednesday after Sonic employees called police to report that a man from out of state had reported that someone had been fraudulently using his Sonic app that night to purchase food at the Bellevue Sonic, including hamburgers and corn dogs. When officers arrived at the Sonic, they saw a Toyota Camry leaving the area, and the license plate matched the description Sonic workers had given to dispatchers. The officers stopped Silva’s car and interviewed him about the matter. They then arrested Silva and took him to the Sarpy County Jail. Silva was released from jail Thursday after posting 10% of $1,500 bail. Officers found three firearms in Silva’s car during the Wednesday traffic stop. The guns were taken as evidence and Bellevue police still had them Sunday. Jashinske said Silva has a Nebraska concealed-carry permit. Police found four other firearms Saturday near the Sonic, Jashinske said. Silva didn’t have any weapons on him when police handcuffed him, he said. Jashinske said it was too early in the investigation to say whether Silva had interacted Wednesday with any of the people he shot. Bellevue police had not had any contact with Silva before Wednesday, Jashinske said. Community members gathered Sunday evening to mark the tragedy. Flowers, candles and a makeshift sign were displayed in a parking lot near the Sonic. Madison Purdy, 18, said she has eaten at the Sonic many times and passed by the restaurant shortly before the shooting. “This is just really sad,” she said. “I just graduated from Bellevue West (High School), and I knew people who worked here.” Amanda Keene and her husband, Adam Arvesen, stopped at the vigil Sunday night to pay their respects. The Bellevue couple frequently stopped at the Sonic and knew some of the workers who were shot. Lujan, one of the wounded workers, served them most nights, they said. “They’re always sweet,” Amanda Keene said of the workers at Sonic. Bellevue Mayor Rusty Hike said the community would continue to pull together. “Bellevue is still a pretty small community, everybody knows each other, everybody in town probably has a connection to someone who was a victim here,” he said. “There’s a lot of prayer and hoping for the best.” At least two fundraisers have begun. The Bellevue First Facebook page provides information on a plan to split donations equally among families of the four victims. Donations to Bellevue First can be made at either Bellevue branch of Great Western Bank, according to the site. Even though Bellevue remains safe, Hike said, this kind of shooting has robbed the community of some of its sense of security. “A lot of people have been affected,” he said.

SARPY COUNTY JAIL A person inside the southwest Omaha home where Silva lived with his parents declined to open the door when a reporter knocked. A man who arrived at the home as the reporter was leaving acknowledged that it was the Silva family’s home, but he declined to comment. Anyone with information about the case is asked to call the Bellevue Police Department at 402-293-3100 or Sarpy County Crime Stoppers at 402-592-STOP.

Why didn't we run the ball with Scott more? I just looked at his statline ( 8 for 22 yards) and thought about deleting my comment, but I thought he looked good when I was watching. He fought for yards and I thought he averaged 4+ YPC. Instead we run the I formation with Wandale back there. Why wasn't that initial fumble/forward pass call reviewed? Last week I had said that we were so mentally weak that we may actually think we're good now and play like it. I forgot the fact that one faulty play can completely deflate a team lead by the king of neadrathals.
Yeah I remember texting my friend during the game asking WTF happened to Marvin Scott? It seems like the personnel decisions are just baffling (have been for years). Also seems like we give up on things early on and kind of panic to chase points (except swing/screen passes). Your second question is answered by just remembering it’s Big Ten officiating and they are an embarrassment (see the Purdue OPI on Friday).
Wandale will have one good run and the coaches fall in love and think he should play RB the rest of the game. The personnel decisions on offense rarely make any sense
If you look at everything else they are doing that actually looks like one of their better decisions. Like inexplicably putting Jacob Hickman in on the goal line and thinking he is going to block a DL.
I'm fairly convinced frost has no idea who is in the game when he calls plays. the fly sweep to Betts 2 games ago was probably mostly a matter of luck that our fastest WR happened to be in the game at the time. really wish he would take a step back, let Lubick call the plays and take more of a CEO approach during the game. I think he's missing the forest for the trees as he tries to dial up perfect play calls. at UCF it was easier to get away with--he had more talent and was coaching against inferior staffs. very elementary things continue to fall through the cracks because Frost is focused so much on offensive play calling.
Yeah, based on our inability to get the correct people on the field after a kickoff or timeout, it’s obvious there are serious issues when it comes to straight up organization/fundamentals of coaching. I think a lot of the stuff that failed Pelini are extremely evident with Frost, at least up to this point. Might even be worse since at least in the Bo era the AD/higher ups seemed to hate him. Now we have a bunch of yes-men/buddies of Frost.
