There will be more and more empty seats-

True because he went 12-0 at UCF and quarterbacked us to half of the 1997 National Title. False because this team is worse than it was last year against the easiest schedule we will have for the next five years and quarterbacked our two time defending national champions to that horrid 19-0 shutout loss at ASU. Flip a coin and check back in 2026.
PS My 17 year old Rivals account got messed up a year ago and mods said simplest solution was a new account. So it looks like I am a relative newcomer due to a technical glitch. What’s your story? Previously banned? You surely didn’t just start posting a month ago, did you? I only ask because you seem to be the most combative poster and they don’t last long here.

i disagree, this team has definitely been up and down but I wouldn’t go as far as saying worse then last year. Dudes dead on right, Frost will have us winning soon enough. He’s the right guy for the job and he WILL Get R Done.
We can truly hope Frost is the right guy for the job. However I challenge anyone to show me how accepting Husker Nation would be of anyone else coming into Lincoln and going 8-14 in his first 22 games. Also nobody knows if Frost will get the job done. It is hopeful and one would think he will give it his all but there are no guarantees here!
I feel I have said this thousands of times over the last few year, but here it goes gain. People are confusing sell out and attendance. The 2 are not the same thing. Sell out means every available ticket has been bought and paid for. This is 100% in full affect and accurate. It doesn't matter if 90,00 individuals buy them or if 1 business buys 90,000. Every ticket has been bought, IE Sold out.
Attendance means every available seat has a butt sitting in it. Nebraska has never claimed an attendance streak. I would bet there isn't a stadium in the world who could do this for even a few games as life event happen and people can't attend games.
Absolutely. No guarantees anywhere. Actually, Ohio State is the only team north of Norman that has a chance of replicating the 90s.. even they won’t do it. Alabama and Clemson maybe... Nebraska’s ceiling is a playoff spot every 10 years or so with the floor being bowl eligibility 90% of the time starting in 2021....
Have you been reading Uber's comments? He seems to think he knows everything...and very arrogantly.
I also point to Frost not having accomplished anything on a "long-term" basis. Feel free to show me where I'm wrong on that. He also seems to think that Wisconsin fans are scared of Nebraska, despite the average margin of victory for them over the Huskers has been by about 20 points.
I also made the comment on another post that the Colorado team we all think is garbage could also be 7-3 right now instead if 4-6 because they too have lost 3 games by one possession.....in other words, who cares?
Every football game in which a team loses by 7 points or less is a "one possession" game....and most fans, regardless of who they root for, don't go around yapping about it.
Don't be stupid. Next September the fans will be brimming with optimism and the stadium will be full. Of course when you're 4-6 and facing a near certain loss to Wisconsin, people can find other things to do than drive 3 hours for a football game.
bowl eligible starting in 2021??
kirk Ferentz had a top 10 team in year 4
Alvarez rose bowl in year 4
Dantonio big ten champion in year 4
Oh you’re dead right there. No one knows if he is or isn’t. Myself, I’m going with IS because if he’s not, our Huskers are in a world of hurt for the next 4-7 years (if not a decade or longer). So yep, I’ll definitely assume he is...because the ladder is a lot worse.

He’s been successful at everything he’s done. He understands that it takes hard work to be successful. What proof do you have that he won’t be successful long term?
I could be wrong and am a lot, but if Frost isn't the guy I am going to say most of us on here will not see another NC or maybe even a BIG10. If Frost isn't the guy the program will more than likely be a bottom dweller BIG10 school for the foreseeable future.
that’s exactly my point. So yes, I’m banging my chest very hard about Frost being the right guy and he will get us winning again. Because if not, boy are we in for a long road a head of us and bunch of losing.
I don't knwo for sure he won't.....and I'm not pretending I do. I'm just taking issue with someone that seems to think that everything will happen through Smurf magic simply because it's Scott Frost. Some things I have spelled out many times on here...and apparently need to do again:
1) UCF was 47-19 in the 5 seasons (with bowls wins over P5 teams) prior to the 0-12, with 31-9 in the previous 3. UCF wasn't in the toilet as much as people want to believe. His last UCF team is 9-4 in the SEC or Big 10.
2) Having been a QB for a legendary coach means nothing, and guarantees nothing. Uber seems to think it does. If it did, Bart Starr would have been the greatest Packer coach after Vince Lombardi, and Tommie Frazier would have won several NAIA NCs while at Doane.
3) Oregon went downhill after Chip Kelly left...even with Frost still there.
Go read Uber's posts...especially the thread he started on Wisconsin not stopping Nebraska's offense...with stats and all. That's who and what...and the attitude that has come with it....that I primarily have been responding to.
"You know how I feel about stats. Stats are for losers. Final scores are for winners.”-- Bill Belichick

Hey, something we finally agree on. But good news is that Frost will get it rebuilt. There nobody else better suited for this job.
Someone at Notre Dame FINALLY realized that they could never catch up with Nebraska if both schools kept up with these fake sellouts
What does it matter??? Nebraska has out-ranked Iowa State, Minnesota, Baylor, Iowa, Wisconsin, Purdue, Indiana, Colorado, and most other D-1 schools in recruiting over the past several years, but we still have the least talented team of most all D-1 programs according to many posters. Superior coaching in scheme and technique and superior s&c cannot overcome perennial top 25 recruiting.
well technically they aren't "fake" as long as we have a booster/business willing to buy up the unsold tickets. The problem will arise when there isn't a booster willing to buy those left over tickets. Winking I remember trying to sell an extra ticket to the NU vs KSU game when NU was ranked 2nd and KSU was undefeated and ranked 7th. It was a beautiful day and there were tons of KSU fans at the game but I could NOT sell that extra ticket. I think it was the pheasant or deer opener or something as well as harvest being in full swing. TV game to boot. I finally gave it to a kid outside the game AFTER kickoff but told him he had to find a place to sit somewhere else. Half way through the 1st quarter some dude comes walking in and plops down in the seat. The kid has sold it for $5. Ever since then I just put unsold tickets in my pocket and enjoy the extra room.
And you’re going to be dead wrong. Frost has done nothing but succeed at every level at everything he’s ever done. He will win here too. Barry Alvarez went 1-10 and then 3-8 his first two seasons while rebuilding Wisconsin...it also took him 4-5 years before he had Wisconsin competing and winning games. True rebuilds aren’t pulled off in 1-2 years. That only happens when taking over a team full of great players and talent.
Some of you guys are so blind it’s not even funny. I’d get it if Frost had a bunch of talent and good to great players all over the roster and was still struggling, hell I’d be right there agreeing with you guys but he doesn’t...he has a horrible roster full of juniors and seniors. It’s so clear it’s crystal clear what are actual issue is...talent. In a year or 3 from now, about the time Wan’dale Robinson is a junior we will have a sold football team and that’s when things will be flipped for good.

Have you not seen or watched at all, all those top players have left, transferred out or didn’t make it at all. Go look it up, go see how many 4 stars are left that are juniors and seniors? If you actually do this, that’s where you will see where our biggest issues lay. And the few 4 star guys we have on the team that are juniors and seniors have all been busts (minus a couple). But if you take the time and go take those guys out that didn’t make it, didn’t qualify or transferred out and then refigured out what our recruiting rankings would be like without those 4 stars on the team, I’m whiling to bet we wouldn’t be ranked above most of those teams you mentioned.
Edited: just because I know you won’t bother, I’ll do it for you. I’m sick of this “ We have more talent and out recruited said teams”.
2015 class 4 stars
Eric Lee Jr Bust
Avery Anderson Bust
Khalil Davis decent to good
Stan Morgan Jr gone NFL
Jalin Barnett Bust or left program
Jordan Stevenson Bust and left program
2016 class 4 stars
John Raridon Bust
Lamar Jackson good player
Pat O’Brien Transferred
Marquel Dismuke solid player
2017 class 4 stars
Tyjon Lindsey transferred
Tristian Gebbia Transferred
Avery Roberts Transferred
Jaevon McQuitty Bust so far
Elijah Blades didn’t qualify
KeShawn Johnson Jr Left team
Guy Thomas Bust and left program
Thats 17 possible 4 star players we signed and only 3 of those 17 4 star players stayed and every played a snap. Again that’s 3 4 star players from the 2015, 2016 and 2017 recruiting classes. This has KILLED us this year and last year. We have lost our biggest and best players and we feel it bad now. And I didn’t even count the high 3 star players that didn’t make it or left the program. So again, if you take out all those 4 star guys, we are equal to or below those teams you mentioned. So sorry, I agree with the guy, once Frost gets our talent level up (which he will, he’s been recruiting at a decent to high level) then we will start fielding solid to good football teams. But as of now, we are most definitely lacking on talent.

I get it, but many of the schools I listed recruited few to ZERO 4 star players to begin with.
Its real alright. Do post a pic at game time with all the unsold seats...its just Husker fans make far too much of it.
Mr Positivity stirring the pot again. He must be a miserable person. I can not remember reading one single positive thing ever that onechase has posted. I'm so happy I don't have to deal with him in real life. He seems like the type of guy who sucks the life out of anybody he's around.
Those of you who are "set" on the must of one or more coaches being fired this off-season might as well save yourself and everyone us the tiredness of your rants and move along to something or somewhere else. Coach Frost will not be getting rid of or replacing any coaches over the next year (imo). He has said numerous times, even recently, that he has full faith in everyone on his staff and he has also said (my paraphrase) that he doesn't listen to the opinions of the naysayers. The administration has shown that they have his back and he's very sure of his, and his staff's, abilities.
I also agree with those that say that you don't make changes because you're worried about the sellout streak. You make decisions for the long haul. Bringing in the third DC in the last 5 years (and the fourth in the last, what, eight years) isn't good for the long haul.
Oh I agree a lot with what you say. I am just not as blindly optimistic as you come across. I go off what I see in the here and the now. Im not afraid to be realistic and to stat the bad when I see it. I agree Frost is the best shot we have and I think he will get there, right now he isn't. No amount of excuses will change that. The product on the field is a direct result of him as a coach now, when it is struggling. Just as he should get most of the credit when he is winning championships. He is the coach it is his team.
The old saying "all good things come to an end" is not quite accurate wrt the sell out streak. The sell out is an "all things come to an end". I don't really care about that streak, but I do care about starting streaks again like consecutive winning seasons and bowl appearances. Those are good things.
This. I will be at the Maryland game which will be our good luck charm. Lol.
Seriously... I predict we will beat Maryland. That means the Iowa game is HUGE. The stadium will be full for that game and the crowd will be into it. If we beat Maryland as I think we will, it will give the team something very tangible and important to play for. I think we will, therefore, also beat Iowa and go bowling.
We will end on a high note which will create momentum and excitement for next year. The stadium will be full next Fall.
Now... if we look terrible again next year and lose more close games to teams like Purdue, the seats might start to empty out. Also, we could be a much better team next year and still lose four or five because the schedule is brutal. The key for attendance will be how good we look even in our losses.
The sellout conversation pops up when someone just wants to b!tch about something....anything. I understand that message boards wouldn't exist without nonsense, but my goodness.....it makes me miss the 10+ Taylor Martinez thread days.
Totally disagree, that's the difference between coaches like Urban Meyer, winners, they hire top notch assistant coaches and hold them accountable. This is a business not a United Way charity where you can hire your friends. Keeping a bad DC for the long term is a recipe for disaster.
Now, if we lose to Maryland, the Iowa game will be at least half Black & Yellow. People aren't going to waste 6-7 hours of their day watching us lose big.
