    Walter McCarty files Chapter 11 bankruptcy

    15 million in career earnings and he’s got nothing. It goes to show you that personal finance is 95% spending and 5% income. It’s also tough being surrounded by people much poorer (family and friends) and people much richer (more successful teammates).

    Outsider’s perspective

    Covid threw off the offseason. Young teams and teams with high turnover will be most effected. Calipari hasn't forgotten how to recruit and develop players The game hasn't moved past Calipari's system Might be a terrible year, but all is going to be ok

    Outsider’s perspective

    I mean I shot some squirrels when I was desperate on the Oregon trail. The computer told me I got a pound of meat. I’m unaware if that was associated with my daughter dying of dysentery 3 days later.

    Outsider’s perspective

    Trotters are good, never done squirrel in any capacity. I’m adventurous but we haven’t bred diseases out of squirrels.

    I will be willing to donate to buy out Frost

    You'd owe him 5 million a year for the 21-24 seasons and 2.5 million for the 25 and 26 seasons. That's 25 million by count. I'm sure there are some millionaire and billionaire cornhuskers... I'm also sure they don't spend time on message boards... so I'm guessing you don't have 25 million to...

    Nebraska thoughts from an outsider.

    Florida State has to share recruits with Florida, Miami, a host of non-power 5 schools. There’s really only enough talent to keep two of the 3 power schools in the national title hunt. Florida and Miami are top 10. Georgia is neighboring and has been great too. Same deal with the Midwest...

    Nebraska thoughts from an outsider.

    Does Nebraska routinely have the best recruiting class because they’re the best recruiting class or does Nebraska routinely have the best recruiting class because you have a giant rabid fan base and Rivals makes lots of money keeping you happy with favorable ratings? Northwestern wouldn’t win a...

    Curious if Frost is on the Hot Seat?

    Aww... thanks. I've always found Nebraska fans to be reasonable to talk to. I'm happy get in the mud and talk trash and all that. I'm happy to reasonable conversation. I tend to let people choose and meet them at that level. If you want an adult conversation, great. If you want a knife...

    Curious if Frost is on the Hot Seat?

    You see, many fans think that they matter. They don't.... unless your name is Pat Ryan, ie Ryan Field. There is a reason why one of Fitz's kids is named Ryan. It's not coincidence. Fans don't matter. Big donors do. The big donors are old and remember what we call the dark ages and Rick...

    Curious if Frost is on the Hot Seat?

    If Fitz is 14th on the list, the list is BS. To misquote the President, Fitz could stand in the middle fifth avenue and shoot somebody and wouldn't lose his job.

    Curious if Frost is on the Hot Seat?

    I don't put much stock into star rankings, but I do see an uptick looking at the commitment list. I think it's pretty difficult to change offensive styles from coach to coach. I mean Rich Rodriguez couldn't play his system with Lloyd Carr's players. Then Hoke went on and was great year 1 when...
