It is just a dumb comment.
You have to practice, and hard, in order to get into game shape.
Injuries happen. Sucks, but part of the game.
This really sucks. Can this program ever catch a break? Our biggest recruit in years and two ACL tears in two years on the same knee. My gut says he may never play another down for us. You can’t keep ripping up the same ligaments without scar tissue eventually forming. Hope I am wrong.
Unpopular opinion get rid of artificial turf. Could have happened anywhere though I guess.
Cursed for sure, tho.
Cursed for sure, tho.
Please explain why it was dumb to have him out there. He's almost a year out from his surgery. **** happens and nobody is to blame for this
I am as unimpressed with Frost as anyone here, and if I never saw him on the Husker sideline again it wouldn't bother me one bit. But I don't know of any coach who would hold a (essentially) first-year player out of spring practice because had an ACL repaired 12 months ago.

Simple. It’s because he got hurt. Had he not gotten hurt it would have been a great idea to get him out there and learn the offense
Maybe he is? Never has he had live action….. until he does something on the field for us it is what it is
I'm not a religious or overly superstitious guy, but maybe it's time to burn lots of sage in and around Memorial Stadium and conduct a few exorcisms. Also, find the Husker football voodoo doll that some a$$hole puffalo and Iowa sucks fans have been poking.
Enough is enough.
Would be curious to see how this happened. New trauma? Or surgical error…which is a common cause of retearing the acl. Not ideal. Return to previous function is very questionable for him at this point. Blaming frost/staff is idiotic. They don’t clear players for practice. Doctors do. As bad as we all feel for the program, the real shame is such a promising young player having to go through this before he ever had the chance to show his capabilities. I hope he can overcome and still have a long career.
I used to be on RSS. It was mentioned there, on Reddit, and Juan on Twitter. Too much smoke not to be something there.
sacrificing a virgin would probably be necessary. I heard it helped in the past.
Just the same old "I was at practice" that you can't trust. One poster said he didn't see Fidone another said he did. One poster said it was a knee to the thigh. Poster said it happened on Saturday which couldn't happen because no practice on Saturday. Posters asked for Dean's input. Dean said everyone is on spring break so nothing coming from football offices. Flip a coin. Could all be rumors just like game against NW being played in Vegas.
I've posted before how I feel Nebraska has had more injuries than other teams in the B10...not sure it is just a coincidence anymore. S&C or something has to be going on.
I've not seen any evidence that we actually have more season ending injuries than anybody else. We could always go back to the Callahan years where we didn't hit in practice. Of course, Fidone's original injury still would have happened because it was non-contact. The obvious thing to do would be to go to natural grass....but then people still blow out knees on natural grass. One has to remember that we have nearly TWICE as many players on our roster as many other college teams due to the walk on program. You would expect twice as many injuries given that fact.
are you sure we have had more? Or is it just that you pay more attention to Neb because you are a fan.
Difference maker? Maybe. Maybe not. A lot of hype which is nice, but I’ll reserve judgement until I see him actually do it on the field. I hope you’re right.
Maybe? Kid is super athletic, has the height, can jump, really long reach, soft hands.
And hasn't played a meaningful down. Look, I think the kid has all of the tools as well, but until we see it we don't know. Huge recruit, but if you never see the field it is the equivalent to a scholly on a kid who doesn't perform. Need other TE's to step up.
Coming off a major injury at a position we have no playmakers at.
I'd want him as strong as possible.
