Rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic





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.
I'll agree that right now we are in Bill Jennings territory. No denying that. We are still with a coach that made Riley looks like a winner. And that makes me puke in my mouth as a I type......

To Joe Burrow, had he come to NU, he would have done nothing of note. Freshman AM and Joe 2018 at LSU, AM was better in every category. The difference maker besides the obvious talent at LSU was Joe Brady....That was the dude that stirred the drink that year. Coach O, had Brady and the OC tailor a game plan to fit Burrow's skill set. Coach O knew he had a winner in Burrow....Sound familiar? He just had a staff, team and passing coordinator to make it happen......

Out of curiosity, what makes you think that Verduzco could develop LM or any QB at NU? IMO, that dude is the weak link in the drive train of NU. And sadly, our O is either all gas or all no depending on the QB play. AM statistically was much better this year, but that was lessened when you realize his average pass was like 3 yards (sarcasm not sarcasm). As long as our QB's continue to be TO machines, we will continue to struggle. Unsure if LM was the answer, but obviously he did not feel he was the future. Looking at Logan's HS stuff, he doesn't appear to be "much better" on paper. And I personally think we will see his best effort sooner than later. Once Veruzco gets a hold of him, I feel he will regress.

Hopefully Frost will take a more active role in the development of AM per his own admission. Of course this means another area of a struggling team will suffer, but better QB would probably pay the biggest dividends considering we really have no experience at WR or RB so QB, OL and TE play (and the D) will have to carry the O until the receivers and RB's catch up. Tons of potential, but unfortunately with 3 years of potential our record is still 11-20....Potential not meeting production....

The problem with basketball is recruiting, but we just landed our first 5 star recruit since what, ever?

I've always liked the underdog role. Much better than the hype. Right now things look like they are falling apart, but this might be better than the hype and not doing anything after the big talk. The team just might pull together and do something special. Let's see how the story goes, because the ending has not been written yet.

Wow, you need to go slit your wrists or start your car and close the garage door and breath deeply or something. :Sarcastic:
Seriously life is too short to be this depressed about a game played by 18-22 year old kids. Switch to decaf will ya.
 

Man someone needs a really big hit of Kool-Aid. I would suggest just opening a pack and downing it or snorting it.
