Hey, come on give me a break, I'm retired. By the way what's your excuse for sitting on the couch in the middle of the day playing with your......phone?
I'm hauling corn to Cargill in Blair. I work. If you saw some of the lineups, you'd understand there is some free time now & again. Somewhat same with field work.
Applaud Iowa trolls on one hand, whine about opposing fans being here on the other. Makes sense.
I don't think its a matter of playing that card. How many players do you believe we should take at the same position when its a limited class as it is? This is the same thing that happened to Brock. The young man wouldn't commit,(which is his right), Iowa had other options available that they considered at least as good, if not better. Brock ends up on the outside looking in, end of story. I don't see how that makes Iowa look pathetic. If they get players for that position that are of equal or possibly even better talent, the why does it matter where he went to high school?
I should have known better than to use innuendo when responding to a Hawkeye... SMDH.
About as much sense as you coming to our boards and calling us trolls. The ‘N’ does stand for knowledge I guess. Who knew?
Umm you might want to look at recruiting a little better. Oregon does not have hot-bead of instate recruits that you think they have. Over the last 4 years they had 13 4*'s, an average of 3.25 per year. Out of those 13 they signed 3. UCF has tons of in state talent, but they are at minimum 4th in the pecking order in state. I get what you were trying to say, but you are wrong.
Very nice cherry-picked result. You lose a lot of credibility when you spin something like this. The only reason you would have started with 2002 is because Iowa had three great seasons beginning in 2002, two not so great season before that, and if you had started in 2000, you would have had to include the Huskers national championship appearance and two top ten finishes and Iowa's losing season. It also would have made your point moot, given that Iowa has a poorer overall W/L record than Nebraska since 2000:
Iowa - 150-91
Nebraska - 159-86

Agree. It's a recruiting win today, and means nothing unless he performs. Probably won't hear from the kid for 2-3 years once he enters the program, so it's wait and see. He's not a can't-miss recruit at the moment.
Most talent in California is in So Cal, That is 860 miles away to Los Angeles. So once again what's the valid point?
When you say, "I also heard...", it doesn't mean you're speaking truth. You're speaking hearsay unless you can support it with verifiable information. I'm not saying its truth or not because I don't know the truth and I've never seen facts. Maybe there out there. If they are, do you mind supporting your statements?
Man it's pretty sad when you don't have one or two but one or 2 dozen rival teams fans gloating because they beat your school out for a recruit in the state. And yes Iowa offered but it's not like last year losing top guy in the state a 4* WR to Michigan. Does he look like a good player, yes. Am I happy with Hunt and possible addition of Fox from Georgia. Absolutely. Can anyone say that one is better than the other right now? No way. Every year Iowa will get guys surrounding schools like Nebraska, ISU or Minny offered and vice versa they'll beat them out for some kids so not like getting Newsom is some huge recruiting coup against Iowa. But to read threads and the extreme amounts of boasting about getting a kid 30 miles from campus or Newsom is honestly just kind of sad.
Call me crazy but when Iowa gets a recruit I go to Iowa sites to read about their commitment and insight on the player and not post on a Husker or Cyclone site. But then again that's just me.

Most of it yes, but plenty of talent throughout the state of Cali.....including the Bay Area....much more than in the Midwest...so the valid point would be you don’t need to make 5 trips to 5 different destinations to find talent out west....just two trips to see much more talent that could also play closer to home i.e. in the same time zone as their families....that, chief, would be the ‘valid’ point. And while we are at it...west coast winters, Florida winters ooorrrr Nebraska winters....? Pickin it up yet?

I assume you're asking for some evidence of the gambling part? The rest is pretty common knowledge and a simple google search will provide plenty of reading. Here's a snippet from an article about the gambling...
"Frost and Osborne have butted heads on other occasions, as when
Osborne learned last March that Frost had been patronizing one
of the casinos in Council Bluffs, Iowa, an hour from campus,
into the wee hours. Osborne phoned Frost at 8 a.m. to tell him
not to go again. As Osborne well knew, Frost isn't an early
riser. According to senior guard Aaron Taylor, Frost's idea of a
predawn pheasant and quail hunt is one that begins at 10 a.m."
This cannot be true.
What is true? This is the beginning of where Scott Frost dominates not just Iowa and not just the B1G but the Alabama's and Clemson's of this world. Nebraska will dominate the college landscape in 3 years. Mark my words!
We all should be shaking in our boots. Nebraska football is back. The black shirts are back. The Nebraska Football Dynasty (NFD) is back. So, watch your back!
You forgot the ending quote “ I’m glad that Coach put the casino off limits”Frost says.”You realize it wasn’t a smart thing to do”... Also Frost and a man visiting the apartment Matthew Roland tried to help wrestle her away from Phillips, he wasn’t in no closet.
If being completely off the mark is your idea of an innuendo, more power to you. Whatever helps you feel smarter than the average Hawkeye.
He did hide in the closet. Are you actually in denial of this? You Nubbers will defend your guy no matter how strong the evidence. It's true that he eventually came out when he had some backup. Too bad he didn't man up and prevent her from getting her ass kicked first.
Sorry I forgot you were there too see it all... were you the one hiding behind him in the closet..
I even given you his name from the book I read...Good day.

Lay off EVH. Have you seen him lately? He’s clean, lean and mean. And his playing is as good as ever.
Riley was a neat guy,but a bad head coach. You'll miss him dearly. Hell, average Pelini teams kicked your a$$es for a few years. Imagine what a Frost coached team will do over the next 7-25 years
I've seen this referenced a few times by Iowa fans. Not surprised as it's an old rumor and there really isn't anything you all can point to to bemoan Frost as a coach. That said I'm not going to defend rumors of an incident from 20 yrs ago with college kids. Neither of us know what exactly happened. Although I wouldn't be surprised to find out a lot of Iowans know a lot about hiding and then coming out of the closets
I think we all understand why you Nubbers would like to sweep it under the rug.
I'll continue to point out facts...yes. Riley was a bad head coach, made the team soft, and Iowa whooped them for 3 years. However, when Pelini was coach he was 3-1 against Iowa and Pelini was an average head coach.
Frost has shown to be an excellent head coach and a great hire, so far, for NU. Heck, Iowa might beat NU this year again. I think it will take a couple years to rebuild this thing the right way, but after that look out.
As much as you want it to be a bunch of nothing...the Frost hire was huge and bad news for Iowa.

I know Kinnick - I still have a burr under my saddle about unceremoniously ditching Michael Anthony 14 years ago!
And how does it have any impact on today or the future at all? I understand it's all you have against Frost, but come on. How is it relevant?
It's relevant because it's the truth. How is coming to our board and declaring that you're going to be good again someday relevant?
I don't have an opinion on anything nebraska does. As long as KF & BF have their boys amped up to win this game, I could careless the jargon being spewed in Lincoln.
The Pelini 3-1 is a huge misinterpretation. Anyone who digs a little deeper finds it two plays away from being 3-1 in Iowa's favor. Only true earned win was 20-7 and even that wasn't very impressive. What is impressive is Iowa's three in a row goes by the score of 162-61! Absolutely throttled a hapless UNL program.
Yes. Got it. Thanks.
Side note: Anyone know of someone who has shot birds prior to 10 am legally? Or is that a state by state thing that maybe doesn't apply in Iowa or Nebraska? I know in South Dakota, you're not shooting before noon or 11 am, depending on the time of the year. Strange sentence about the early riser thing.
The only true earned win? You're making excuses. 3-1 is 3-1. I doubt if outcomes were reversed that you would say, "oh but two of those games were very close, so actually we're only 1-3 vs Nebraska guys, not 3-1." If you wouldn't say that, then you shouldn't say what you just said either.
South Dakota does that because pheasant hunting is a major part of their tourist dollars and they want all of the folks who are visiting to go out to the bars and restaurants in the evening and spend their money. Since there is no reason to get up early to hunt pheasants, it encourages late night money spending. Iowa is not that way.
They knew he was going to Nebraska for a little while now. Best of luck to him. From what I have heard he’s a great kid.
Your reading comprehension needs work. I didn't call anyone but one person a troll. It was the person who made trolling comments who was called a troll.
So, are you insinuating that a college kid going to the casino to play cards and gamble means he has weak character? And he was college kid that liked to sleep in, so he has weak character also because of that? Sort of funny that you bring that up, given that he has early morning practices for his players now.
Regarding the Lawrence Phillips situation - I have no idea what actually happened. Here is what a Washington Post article from 1995 says:
"Running back Lawrence Phillips, an early Heisman Trophy contender, was arrested Sunday after allegedly assaulting a 20-year-old former girlfriend. According to police records and witnesses who spoke to the Omaha World-Herald and the Daily Nebraskan, Kate McEwen, a sophomore guard on the Nebraska women's basketball team, was the subject of a tug-of-war between Phillips and backup quarterback Scott Frost. Phillips and Frost each were pulling on her, and McEwen allegedly was dragged down several stairs and hit during the fracas."
I've googled quite a bit, and the only place I see references to Frost hiding in a closet is in non-reputable sights and sources. All articles that reviewed the police report make no mention of it. They only say Phillips broke into the apartment at 4 am, found his ex-girlfriend who was now with Frost, and threw her on the bathroom floor then dragged her down three flights of stairs. Then Frost and another person pulled her away from him. Do you have evidence that he hid in a closet? Or is that rumor that serves as fact for people whose biases it confirms?
If by hiding in the closet you mean pulling Phillips off of the lady, then you are correct.
Frost, a transfer quarterback from Stanford, was responsible for pulling Phillips off McEwen during the assault.
