The list of extremely ethical, squeaky clean coaches is extremely short.  It's not a profession you should lend blind reverence to.

 

For example, the Fellowship of Christian Athletes Coach of the Year Award is named after...Grant Teaff.  One of the biggest cheaters you'd ever find.  Tom Osborne despised the guy.

 

Anyway, don't worry, we probably will end up with Lance Leipold, who by the way is two months older than Urb.

I know that coaches aren’t squeaky clean but Urban smells like he lives in a portapotty

No need to worry about Urban sprawl.  While driving east on I 80 Tuesday morning, just past the 56th street exit, I passed an SUV with personalized plates that read STOOPS1.  They weren't Nebraska plates.  Couldn't tell the state.  Wasn't a plate on front of the vehicle.  Tinted windows, but looked like a female.  I'm guessing either Mrs. Stoops was country club shopping or Bob has a nice collection of wigs.

That there was likely Betsy Stoops.  She runs a House of Prostitution near 40th and South Street.

 

I wasn't joking. I'm guessing you aren't either.  Does your wife know?

I’ve been thinking it’s gotta be Leipold for a year now. He just makes sense.

I wanted Liepold after Bo was fired. And after Riley.

How many people are hearing Urban Meyer rumors that seem like there's real smoke and not just fans exhaling marijuana?

 

This is the origin of the rumors in case you missed it:

It’s over.  It has to be over.  Will anyone want to come here to coach?

If Frost has shown the outside world anything, it's no longer a narrative of "Nebraska football fan expectations are 'toi' high". It's not "Hey, I can do better than what he did!"

Yes. And I have at least 5 million reasons per year I believe this

So is anyone ready for basketball season yet?

We should've listened to the Brits and stopped playing football for 10 days.

I chatted with Sam Griesel very briefly last night at the husker game…. Dude…. He’s a really big dude lol. I did not remember him being that big.

I severely underestimated Scott  Frost.

 

Last season I had a betting system where if Nebraska was favored in a game I bet money line against us because between Scott, Adrian and the special teams we would find a way to lose.  I did very well (sadly).

 

This year I broke protocol because our opening three games were so bad there was no way in hell we’d lose these games. Outside shot of losing the first one because of all the moving parts (overseas, new QB, new OC, etc) but on paper very unlikely because Northwestern was a massive hot mess (but have a very good HC).  I thought I might as well throw money out the window than drive to the casino to bet on these games.

 

I felt like with Casey Thompson and Busch running special teams two of the three major issues were corrected.  And they really have been.  But the biggest issue is still there.

 

I am still kicking myself for not even dropping $20 on the moneyline.  Moneyline payout are crazy for even a 7 point underdog.  Originally I did this as insurance against us losing as I never had much faith in Frost.  If we lost at least I didn’t walk away empty handed.  Now this gambling window of opportunity appears to be closing, because I can’t imagine Frost surviving past Oct 1st, and I can’t imagine us being favored again this year.  Then again, I couldn’t imagine us losing to Georgia Southern….

If his measureables are to be believed, he is a specimen and extremely different than Fred’s PG’s to date.  I am excited to see him play.

I’d guess closer to $8 mil, I agree.

 

A lot of fans go to the notion that nobody will come here.  Of course someone will.  There are a lot of pros to coming here (money, tradition, brand, blah blah).  People were concerned hiring a coach after canning a 9 win guy.  Well, that problem is solved in spades.  

Our problem isn’t people won’t come here.  It’s that we have a bad picker.  Just like me dating.  I know what I want in my head, but I always end up with a mess and have to cut bait and move on.

 

i never thought it would get to this point, but Frost is pretty much John Blake.  The talent doesn’t appear to be near as bad as the putrid performance of the team.  Get a good coach in and we can get things turned pretty quick.  Hopefully Trev has a good picker.  We’ll see.

I was gonna put 7 mil, but I decided to go with what I think is the floor. My guess is the amount is tied to what choice Trev gets. 1st choice 7 mil+. Then scale it down from there.

On the video screen he looked to be about the same size (weight and height) of DW...

I’m mildly shocked but also not shocked.  As much as it felt like it had to happen— the buyout threw a wrench into things.

[Silverbacked1]

Heard some talking head say that we should be able to get somebody good just because there are a lot of coaches that will want/need to coach in one of the super conferences that are being formed.  Just a thought.
