The Husker football (and basketball) program is in a shambles. Players defecting, seemingly every week and the good news according to HuskerMax is always either Frost secured another walkon and 1970 was a great year. Adrian Martinez might be a good athlete but he has proven he can't quarterback a team to a championship. Frost was too in love with that kid...so in love he let Joe Barrow walk away right into a National Championship and Heisman trophy at LSU. And then he allowed AM to keep our program in the bottom tier while Luke McCaffery, with the right amount of coaching and snaps, could have brought a new skill set to the team. He just didn't really get a chance.
Don't look for much to change this year. Frost is a Peter Principle coach, having reached his peak at UCF and the other conference coaches love having him because they out coach him every week.

Men's basketball is in as much trouble although they have a great coach. Their inability to stay ahead of the Covid-19 virus ruined this season but they were not going to win a single conference game anyway. Their problem is recruiting. Every season it is a brand new cast of players...just like an intra-mural team. No cohesiveness, no real team work, nothing to cheer for. How Iowa and Wisconsin can recruit the way they do with team players who can shoot like Larry Bird and Nebraska at best gets rejects from other teams with one year of eligibility is a mystery.

Have you thought about switching to decaf?

LOL. I’m just messing with you, man. I get it. Fans are tired of the losses. I think it’s going to be okay but I’m an optimist I guess.

There are no less than 15 active threads on the topic so I won’t get into it here in another one, but there are some positives to go along with the negatives. Here’s to the rise of the Big Red! :Cheers:
