Nebraska Cornhuskers (corn)

I never wanted them in the conference, but I have to admit the corn have grown on me. Hopefully Frost manages to unfuck them and give Wiscy some competition in the West because a once every four year run by Coach of the Year and Minnesota never being able to turn the corner as a program sure ain't filling that role.

Corn is a "class" school with "classy" fans, I'm glad they are in the B1G.

Needless to say NW, Purdue,and Illinois will never even get to the intersection; let alone turn the corner. In hindsight Sparty should have been placed in the B1G West with NW, Purdue, or Illinois in the B1G East.

In hindsight, it's pretty obvious that it's nearly impossible to predict future results, even supposed powers like PSU and Nebraska.

No one saw:

- MSU not only becoming consistently good, but owning OSU (briefly) and Michigan (extensively) during that span.
- Nebraska becoming a basketball school
- Penn State winning at a purdue clip for over a decade
- Michigan becoming a laughing stock almost overnight
- OSU taking over the conference with a no name coach from y-town*
- OSU replacing that legendary coach with the 2nd best CFB coach of this generation, and the one that pantsed Tressel's best offense (and sent them on a 2.5 year tailspin).

* - some saw that one coming, but not many

Sparty in the west makes sense, but you couldn't predict that, and you also risk cancelling the only consistent opponent on OSU's schedule for a few years. Just like you'd do if you moved PSU to the west before last season.

I'd rather have the East decently stacked as it is.
I don't really care what happens in the West... so long as they can consistently prop up a top15 opponent in December. I used to think we needed to add OU and TX to fill that half out... but I'd pass on both now. Texas is poison and OU doesn't fit the conference.
Rutgers and Maryland are junk, but it's nice being able to recruit out there... the East has benefited quite a bit from Jersey talent in particular.

Still here, man....

I was doing a PC build at my church, so I was able to catch Purdon't and Nebrascan't on TV.

As painful as this is to watch, it wasnt totally unexpected by most here. This group of kids (minus a few) are the most self destructive bunch we have ever had here.

Twice, had close to or over 600 yards of offense and lost BOTH games.

All about discipline and pride at this point. That ain't coaching, that is character.

Are there some things that are coaching? Yep. Going for it constantly on 4th down kills me.

But we had a play on Saturday where a kid had a pick that would have turned the game around. What happens? Holding, then the same dumbass who holds, gets a PF Unsportsmanlike on himself.

Frosty no likely. Frosty grabbed kid and sat his ass down on the bench. Kid may never play again (sure as hell didn't play anymore on Saturday).

This should tell you where Frost is at right now:

Kade Warner (Kurt Warner's son) played Saturday.

"The 6-foot-1, 210-pound redshirt freshman saw several snaps Saturday, and made his first and second career catches just before halftime. He also set the edge on Ozigbo's first touchdown.

Warner's rise to starter Saturday was a bit of a surprise, especially considering he started the week working with the third team. By Wednesday, he was getting reps with the 1s, as Frost and offensive coordinator Troy Walters looked for more playmakers."

Dude didn't think he was playing Saturday. Sold his tix to the game, then found out he was playing so they had to scrounge some up.

I am with Frost on this one. I would rather lose by 10 with kids not committing stupid penalties rather than lose by 40 because we had 4827472882 yards in penalties. Pisses me right the hell off.

I’m all for Wisky having zero competition in the west. When they come to Indy with a glass jaw makes breaking them that much easier.

And another one bites the dust. Wonder if him and Lindsey went half on the bus out of town:

Nebraska football dealt another offensive blow with departure of Greg Bell

If the loss of Tyjon Lindsey wasn’t bad enough, the Nebraska football team has just lost its second-string running back just ahead of the Wisconsin game.

Just when you thought the Nebraska football team was going to escape with only one player leaving during the first four weeks of the season, we got more bad news. JUCO transfer running back Greg Bell is reportedly leaving the program as well.

The news is hardly shocking. There had been talk that Bell had not handled the fact that he lost the starting running back job well.

He had just two carries against Purdue. At the same time, anyone who shrugs their shoulders and decides this isn’t that big a loss is fooling themselves.

Rivals was the first to announce the apparent departure of Bell, who started the year by rushing for 104 yards on just 13 carries against Colorado. He ran for 64 yards on 14 carries against Troy.

Since the Huskers have started Big Ten play, Devine Ozigbo has taken over the reins as the starting back. While Bell and Ozigbo tended to alternate drives in the first two games, Bell has had just eight carries in conference play.

The timing is not a surprise either. Had Bell gotten even one carry in the game against Wisconsin, it would have meant he had used up his year of eligibility. Thanks to the new redshirt rule, he can transfer to another program and still be a junior next season.

Despite the fact that he lost the starting job, Bell is still a talented runner who would have been a good backup for the rest of the season. The decision is also a bit odd, because there’s no doubt he would have had the inside track for starting running back next season, as Ozigbo is a senior.

The departure is also a bit of a blow simply because Scott Frost and company are hemorrhaging talent at the moment. Going back to the beginning of the fall, the Nebraska football team has lost a starting caliber quarterback, two starting-caliber running backs, and a receiver which provided solid depth to the group.

Bell’s departure is quite a bit different from the others. While some had dismissed Gebbia, Lindsey and the others as being Riley recruits who never bought in, Bell was one of the first recruits that was hand-picked by Frost and his staff to come play for the Nebraska football team.

Troll on: Iowa bar stocks fridge with free beer for Nebraska fans… when the 0-4 Cornhuskers win first game

nebraska-iowa-fan-e1538788548998.jpg


Leave it to a rival to beat a team while it’s waaay down.

Under former starting quarterback Scott Frost, Nebraska and its very loyal fan base entered the 2018 season with sky-high expectations for the first year of the prodigal son’s ballyhooed return to Lincoln as head coach. Through four games — a fifth, the opener, was canceled because of Mother Nature — things couldn’t have possibly started off worse for the Cornhuskers as they stand at 0-4, the first time the storied program has lost the first four games of a season since the year World War II ended. Stretching back to last season, NU has lost eight in a row, the second-longest current losing streak in the country. It’s also the first time they’ve ever lost eight games in a row.

With that as a backdrop, enter the Iowa fan base. Or, more specifically, Barley’s Bar.

Earlier this past week, it was reported that the Council Bluffs, Iowa, drinking establishment had stocked a locked refrigerator full of Budweiser beer to be given away, free of charge, at the bar close to the Iowa-Nebraska border to Big Red fans when (if?) their beloved Cornhuskers finally claim their first win of the Frost Era.

Frost and Chip Kelly winless..I remember a certain Coach stepped into a team with 6 wins and NCAA sanctions and i think they went undefeated. Just saying.

Just sayin': In 1979 Earl Bruce almost pulled off something similiar. He took over a 7 win team and almost went undefeated which would have very likely won a National Championship (they were #1 in the AP going into the Rose Bowl game). Unfortunately he came up 2 points short in the Rose Bowl losing to USC 17-16.
