    Scott Frost

    Might have been others with more talent/ability than Frost, but as the saying goes, availability is one of the best types of ability. We've had other quick twitch, talented QB's that got derailed because they didn't have the build to stay healthy as running QB's in the option or spread offenses...

    Scott Frost

    I think Steve Taylor was a pretty talented guy and he played on some very good, but not historically great NU teams. His era at NU was right before Osborne/McBride figured out that they needed to retool the defense with more speed to compete with the warm weather schools. Virtually all the...

    Anyone old enough to remember the Powder Blue Puffs?

    Lots of people blame that color scheme on Chuck Fairbanks. While he ran the CU football program into the ground and helped put the schools entire athletic budget in trouble, I believe the UCLA-look decision came from higher up

    Best musical entertainer of all-time

    Springsteen could put on a helluva show in his prime.

    ***New Commit*** BREAKING: Nebraska lands three-star IOL KD Jones

    Not that I disagree with this, but, I can't recall many assistant hires over the past decade (maybe longer) where the initial sentiment wasn't the new hire being an upgrade over the old one. Butler replacing White is the main one I can think of off the cuff. An indictment on the crappy initial...

    ***New Commit*** BREAKING: No. 6 IOL Jordan Agbanoma commits to Nebraska

    I miss the days when a commitment actually meant that. Today its about like making a rental car reservation without a credit card on file.

    RIP Mark Fuhrman

    The cops bungled alot of things during the murder investigation and so did the prosecution (having Simpson try on the glove in the courtroom). The OJ jury was 75% black and the black community in LA at that time had essentially no trust in the police following the Rodney King situation and the...

    RIP Mark Fuhrman

    The lingering influence of the race riots in LA just a couple of years before the murder/trial and OJ's celebrity really set the stage for that outcome. Fuhrman gets a perjury sentence and OJ walks free despite all the evidence - crazy.

    1983 vs Divorce / Breakup

    If you could have combined the '84 offense with the '85 defense, it may have been the best college team of all time. Frankly, the '94 Orange Bowl loss ranks about as high on my heartbreak meter as the '84 loss.

    1983 vs Divorce / Breakup

    I see how alot of coaches would have made the decision to throw, just not Tom Osborne.

    Subaru’s

    The best thing about Audi is its easy to find the right parts when you go to the auto parts store. You don't even need a part number, just find the most expensive one and that's going to be the part that fits your Audi.

    Subaru’s

    Living in Colorado, I'm pretty sure 90% of the vehicles on the road are Subarus, lifted pickups and Tesla's. No wonder driving here is so bad.

    I was wrong about Fred Hoiberg

    Record was 2-17 before taking over at NU. Hard to make that turd look worse, but he has done it.

    Big 10 payouts. đź’°

    Time has a way of wiping away the bad memories. Being Texas' whipping boy both on the field and in the Big 12 Conference offices wasn't a real fun experience either. There are bullies wherever you go.

    Athletic Directors

    I'm not claiming NU wasn't more successful in the Big 12 than the Big 10, and I can understand your dislike of the Big 10. I simply don't agree with your premise our football program got "torpedoed" as you stated by the move to the Big 10 conference. I think that Osborne made the best decision...
