He added another kicker to the roster in March. Unless there was a great transfer kicker available in the portal after spring practice then I’m not sure what you would expect him to do.

I agree that we need to find a kicker, but that’s not always as easy as it sounds, especially when you have injuries at the position.

Go buy a good kicker. We knew Alvano was shaky. Spend some NIL $ at a position of obvious weakness.

Currently on pace to finish the regular season with the 5th most passing yards in a season by a Nebraska QB, and 3rd most TDs in a season. Great start. (Knock on wood)

Don't get me started on the refs. This is a fraud on all of college football. This is an embarrassment to our conference. We were getting ready to win this game. Frankly, we did win this game.

We beat UTEP. We beat Colorado, we beat Colorado by 18 points and didn't even try in the second half. It’s also clear that we beat Illinois. We’re up by 7 points with only a quarter left. All night the refs were gifting Illinois points, gifting them illegal points. All season even. If you go back to the beginning, Tony White has probably only given up 10 legal points all year. Then Illinois comes along with their fat little coach and we're expected to believe we gave up 24 points? No. If you only count the legal points this game it's 24-10 Nebraska. Heck it probably should be 31-10 Nebraska. It's a disgrace and I'm sick of it.

Reffing is really bad in a lot of places (and TBF, it's a crazy hard job that's gonna have plenty of human error on a good day).

But I thought for sure with a super personable and friendly coach like Rhule that we'd stop getting the shaft or vendettas on a regular basis after the prickly or arrogant demeanor of some of our past few coaches.

For some reason, though, we seem to still regularly be getting the short end of the stick at a rate that defies it being random. Gotta overcome it, but just one more thing that makes the build more difficult.

That post was mostly sarcasm but yeah we will forever be screwed by refs apparently.

I'm not gonna blame this loss on the refs. But there were some bad calls/ no calls that went against us. We got away with the obvious facemask, but otherwise that was about it in our favor. We still beat ourselves, though. Had some real dumb ass decisions that got penalties. Can't win liike that.

As far as the seeming long term reffing bias against us on the whole - I think we have gotten generally the short end of the stick for a decade and a half of more. Seems like a sign of disrespect by the refs in general for us. We have to earn respect, and going total turtle mode in 4th qtrs of games for at least a decade running doesn't generate respect.

Maybe there’s a reason good teams will put up 60, 70, 80 points a game when they can. Their good players play 3-4 quarters of football early and know how to do so when it matters. Ours were trained to play a half.

Yeah, I'm not blaming this one on the refs either. Just another game where things were tilted and that much more difficult.

What outside of the last one in OT....what calls on NU did you feel like were unfair? It looked to me like every PF call was correct.

Let's face it, we shit the bed on Friday. Had nothing to do with the refs.

In the first half, their DB was draped all over our WR in the endzone. Should have been DPI and a first and goal for us.

Yes, nut up. Train your soft, pussified, lazy 1st teamers how to play 4 quarters.

When you go to the past everyone likes to live in around here Dr Tom was always rotating in once the game was in hand.

I actually thought the calls were pretty much the same in both directions - ie they allowed contact both ways.
 
I was at the game club level right where that 4th and 1 happened. It was so obvious he was short in person. That and there was a pass that the IL defender had his hand around the receivers hip and was turning him and it wasn’t called. Those are the only two egregious ones I can think of. I was also pretty drunk.

For a team that made their entire offseason about doing the little things right that lead you to winning these types of games how am I suppose to conduct myself? They just pretty much showed that none of it mattered.

I’m having trouble reconciling posts like this with the fact that you were as patient as can be with Frost, defending him and expecting him to turn the corner deep into his tenure. Am I remembering wrong about that?
