Year 1 of a rebuild but bet he does better than some people expect
April 21st, 2018 at 12:33 PM ^
And worse than some other people expect
April 21st, 2018 at 12:35 PM ^
And meet the expectation for everyone else.
April 21st, 2018 at 12:37 PM ^
Did we just come full circle?
April 21st, 2018 at 12:47 PM ^
The circle gets a square.
I still enjoy reruns of Hollywood Squares when they are on Buzzer or GSN.

"That would be 'Inherit The Wind'."

Finkel is Einhorn!
Einhorn is a man!
square, but to respond to the original comment he might not meet expectations for the Nebraska faithful in year one but based on the job he did in Central Florida, he's going to meet expectations in the succeeding years. I think he'll have Nebraska as one of the teams to beat in the West in no time.
I agree. It might take a year or two but I see Wisconsin having to fend them off in the coming years.
stays in Vegas.
Stayed there...was a weird couple days.
Flight got in superlate..like around midnight. Got to the hotel, noticed the person with a full ashtray next to their one armed bandit yoinking for all it's worth. Take the elevator to my room and see a guy passed out in the hall near my door. Call the front desk so they can drag him away and go to bed.
Go down for breakfast at around 6 am and the same person is at the same one armed bandit still yoinking it....they had been there all night staring at it, yoinking it, drinking and smoking. OCD redefined.
Got back to the hotel around 6 pm after a day long snoozefest of longwinded corporate powerpoints that said very little with many words. Noticed a pack of hookers entering the casino and making their way to the gambling floor to spread out...some climbed up on the tables to dance for a while.
Went up to my room and, across the way, two drunk lesbians are singing to each other trying to unlock their room....and failing badly. Now, you may be thinking my how lucky are you to go help them out. Oh no my friends...one lady weighed about as much as I do...but she was a foot shorter than me. The other I couldn't see because she was hidden behind the mass of the first one. But judging by my massive soft on reaction I knew this was a scene I didn't want to disturb...that and there was a strange funk in the air.
I do believe there were some other incidents there but the late night drinking made some of the trip a bit hazy.
On my way home I was fortunate enough to get an emergency row seat upgrade. The seat next to me was empty and I jokingly said to the attendent to put a pretty girl there. Well after I boarded I saw this 6'3" tall long haired brunette come down the aisle, and sure enough, sat next to me. There was something odd about this girl but I couldn't put my finger on it. After a few minutes of polite talk I went to mp3 nap mode until landing.
I realized later the 6'3" tall long haired brunette wasn't a girl. I bet that airline attendant got the biggest kick out of that.
Be careful what you wish for!
No other option for the weekend you were having. And my money tells me she was in drag, not due to sexuality but instead in disguise because she was the one guilty of committing the murder in that hotel that weekend. No, you didn't hear about it but i can almost guarantee one occurred and he/she definitely was the one that used the pillow for the smothering. Ah Good Times!!!!
Are you actually the ghost of Paul Lynde?
I met Paul Lynde and LSA is no Paul Lynde
Circle in the sand
I think that’s called a Circle Jerk

It was expected...

I'm sure he will I just don't think his team will be ready by the time we play them. If I remember correctly their schedule looks pretty tough this year for a team who was in the gutter last year. I could definitely see them as a contender for the west in a couple of years which is good because Wisconsin needs some competition in the west.
They will probably be division winners in a couple years, competing with WI. If Frost can recruit well they may compete with the big boys OSU, UM, PSU in the east during the B1G championship game.
The B1G needs Nebraska to be Nebraska! again. No more cake walks to the Championship Game for Wisconsin. No more strength of schedules deranged by who from the Western Division is on your cross-over schedule (or at least reduced substantially). No more questions about whether winning the Conference Championship Game is a quality win.

(this is an exercise in 'completing the sentence', right?)

Braska will be sneaky good this year. Notre Dame Spring Game has started as well. Wimbush is a guy that could give us problems...
Switched the channel from BTN to NBC and you could just see right off the bat how much more physical and athletic of a team Notre Dame is.. ND will have a physical D.
April 21st, 2018 at 12:48 PM ^
Wimbush is a poor mans JT Barett he has no accuracy at all. Their defense will be very good though
April 21st, 2018 at 12:49 PM ^
If he's their starter he will be one of the three worst QBs we face this year. He's absolute trash. I'd actually expect Book to start.
No doubt or the incoming freshman they have. I hope wimbush is the starter, stack the box and force him to throw with his arm and its over
Yeah I'd hope so too, but I do expect it to be Book. Book is a B- QB anyways, they just don't have any good options there. They'll struggle to get to 14 on our D. Don't give them anything on offense and we will win comfortably.
Dr Mantis Toboggan with a good diagnosis like always! ahah
After finishing that Amazon series, it reminded me just how good our defense was, and it will get even better/faster this year. That's scary. Don Brown gave us a chance to win every game last season, save PSU. I imagine the margin for error on offense this season will be even more forgiving.
That said, a healthy Black, Warinner, play calling, and (hopefully) Patterson will make the offense worlds better. We're going to be a tough team to beat and I see a win in South Bend to start the train rolling this season.
think the oline is going to surprise people on how much better they will be. The interior line is looking really good
Agreed. It will just come down to pass pro, and we'll have a little more wiggle room there if Shea is playing. We will move people in the run game, we've alerady been doing that.
May I remind you that it’s UM vs ND and that the game is at ND. Nothing is easily predictable about these matchups. Also, for the most part Kelly usually has his annual new starting qb playing well at the start of the season. Then as the year goes on it falls apart to set the stage for a new starter the following season
Assuming their qb is wimbush it should be a W for Michigan. It will be a hard game but if they pull off the win at notre dame at night that would be a huge win from a nation wide standpoint
As long as we can keep him from throwing with his legs we will be golden, if not, it is all over.
To be honest, I'd rather he throw with his legs then his arm.
as i said that he threw a terrible interception. Pray that he is the starter
The weird thing about him is it’s not like he can’t throw it. When they went up to EL, Wimbush tore State up through the air. This is a Brian Kelly team; you know he wouldn’t bring in a QB who can’t throw.
His completion percentage last year was 49% and his passer rating (121.4) would have been 10th in the Big Ten (Thorson was 121.3). He's so bad.
Much better than anything we put out there last year
April 22nd, 2018 at 11:18 AM ^
Eh debatable.
His completion percent was worse than all three of our QBs. While his QBR was about even with Speight. Put him behind Michigan’s OL and have to throw to freshmen receivers that can’t get open and his numbers wouldn’t even come close.

Nebraska's very own saviour comes home to right the ship. This seems like a familiar story.
April 21st, 2018 at 12:49 PM ^
Hopefully he’s as underwhelming as our savior.
The floor is 8-5 again and that's with the youngest team in FBS. I'd say things are right on track.
Floor is 8-5 with the youngest team in FBS, injury to the starting QB and top WR.
is very lame. The record looks okay when just looking at the number of wins and losses. Doesn't look nearly as good when you consider the 8 wins were against teams without a pulse and all 5 losses were to the only teams with a pulse. So we really went 0-5 in games that mattered last year. When put that way the floor doesn't look so good.
The 8 wins were all winnable games, the 5 we lost were not winnable. I mean, we were a 5 loss team, so we lost to the best teams on the schedule because they were good and we had backup QB's, injured starters, and an underwhelming OL. We won every game we were supposed to win, so I don't know what you were looking for...
Hey, look - I can cherry pick games, too!
The 5 we lost weren't winnable?
We had the lead in all of them except msu and that was still a one score game?
