Nebraska Fail

Owen 6, but Minnesota can’t football.
It worked better prior to today, but I only heard it this morning. Sad I missed out on it all season so far. Here’s hoping for another fun year next year to revive it.
I know Frost was loosely discussed on the board, but was he even an actual candidate for the position?
I won’t lie, I was really big on Fleck and slightly disappointed when we didn’t hire him, but I couldn’t be more happy to be wrong about something.
Frost never would have come here...I hope he did not use the entire candidate and interview process for his self-promotion....I don't think he did. I will give Pollard credit for just hiring CMC instead of letting it become the career public relations campaign tool and circus that the Chizik hire time period was.....Agents putting names out there like Harbaugh and such which were TOTAL lies but good publicity for the coach. I think things have changed....at least I hope they have...and people embrace authenticity over fake branding.
I love Dan McCArney and he will always be welcome at my gamewatch parties, but he was always in career-promotion mode it seemed at the time....always looking for the next job and career advancement that the self-help book he read or psycho-babble seminar taught him to do. Hard to believe Chizik was actually here collecting paychecks.....so weird.
PJ Fleck might be a future seminar giver....but man, that team was coached like hot garbage yesterday. Minnesota football is toast again for another coach-hiring/recruiting cycle....5 years maybe. I should have went into coaching.
Really? McCarney is the exact opposite of someone looking for the next coaching job. That dude would have been content winning 4-6 games and riding out to retirement with ISU.
Didn’t DMac interview at TCU the round that Patterson was hired?
I guess I don't disagree....he would have stayed, but largely because he never got that "next offer". He always had his name out there and Never dismissed coaching rumors publicly.....again, this was in a different age 15 years ago where I hope we all embrace authenticity more than coy public relations moves. I like the guy and think he was and still is a Cyclone (as well as being a Hawkeye and a Badger...I'm OK with that).
The thing he did that I don't miss too is the constant praise of our opponents. He was always paying homage to the coaching fraternity to the hilt...always putting those coaching fraternity bonds ahead of maybe calling out a cheater. You could interpret this as not burning bridges for the next job....I always did. This was discussed in a recent thread....you never hear CMC waxing eloquently about how awesome Oklahoma coaching is and how great they are after we won a third quarter. Mac would.
Has PJ Fleck been fired yet???? Fire his ass and hire Tony Robbins.
If we lose one recruit to those Lincoln Low-lifes, I am blaming the entire state of Minnesota and your former senators.

I don't know if the Big 12 was biased against Nebraska for Texas. I don't know if the Big 10 is biased against Nebraska for UM/OSU/PSU. I do know that I can see one thing in common between the two situations.
The hold call that broke the streak was iffy at best if not outright bogus.
Well it finally happened, NU got its win against an even more crappy B1G school. It was bound to happen.
But living here in Omaha, this is what is really aggravating. The local sports talk guys are always referring to the "defense-optional Big 12." As if the B1G really plays tough defense but in the Big 12 we just don't have any good defenses at all.
Well, let's see, just yesterday you had 1,085 yards of offense between Purdue and Ohio State. Penn State and Indiana had 971 yards. Wisconsin and Illinois had 845. Nebraska versus Minnesota combined for 1,133 yards. Looks like a lot of "defense-optional" games right there. Where you don't have a lot of yards is in a Michigan game which actually has an outstanding defense, an Iowa game which has an above-average defense or when two sub-par offenses collide as in Rutgers versus Northwestern.
So, congratulations to the Huskers on that first win, but stop pretending that your conference plays defense any better than the Big 12. Come on back and let's see how you can do, stopping Oklahoma, Texas, Texas Tech, Okie State, West Virginia, Iowa State (now that we have finally figured out our best QB option we have gained 465 yards and 498 yards our last two games against ranked teams) or even Baylor. It's all very subjective and dependent upon the teams on your schedule, where the B1G teams get the advantage of avoiding some opponents every year.

Didn't we have something similar going a few years back? Although with Rhoads' defenses in the last years there was probably no need to be holding us to begin with.
P J Fleck??? Still employeed????
I guess on the good side, that win probably just prolonged the Scott Frost experiment and extra year before they fire him and buy out his contract.

Frost will get a longer leash than most at Nebraska. He’s a home grown boy. Look at allied Kingsbury. He’s gotten twice the number of seasons as Tommy Tubberville at Texas Tech, without even having a winning record.
Saw this posted on facebook. No mention of win loss records
Purdy is averaging 286 passing yards and 61 rushing yards per game if you take away his two snaps vs Akron
The narrative about the defense is just so weird from B1G fans.
I have a co-worker who uses the same thing but didn't seem to want to discuss how poor of defenses PSU and OSU are. Answer was that OSU hadn't played anyone before last weekend...their defense was also bad then.
Nebraska radio has Martinez in the running for next years Heisman. I must admit he is the best freshman QB west of the Missouri and east of Lincoln. They all say that they are so welcome by Iowa fans to the BIG. They don't realize that Hawkeye fans could give a rats *** about NU, they thought this would end the BIG 12 and kill ISU.
