State Champs is interesting

The 1906 Nebraska Cornhuskers football team represented the University of Nebraska in the 1906 college football season. The team was coached by first-year head coach Amos Foster and played its home games at Antelope Field in Lincoln, Nebraska.[1] The team competed as an independent.

Prior to replacing the retiring Walter C. Booth at NU, Foster compiled an 11–4 record in two years coaching Cincinnati. Foster left Nebraska following the season and was quickly offered his old job at Cincinnati, but declined, instead accepting an offer to coach at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio.

Following the 1905 season, United States President Theodore Roosevelt urged Among the new rules adopted in 1906 included the legalization of the forward pass, an increase in the distance required to get a first down, the abolishment of the dangerous flying wedge, and the establishment of a neutral zone between the offense and defense at the line of scrimmage.[2]

2 questions, 1 statement


1. Crazy ironic how we used to beat up on Big 10 teams being in the Big 12 even post-TO.....now we get beat up on lol


1. How would Jamal Lord have fared in Frost's offense?


2. Jesus if our talent right now can get 8-4, how in the hell do we manage to get the talent to be a top 12 football team? Feel like our current roster aint too shabby. 8-4 I guess puts us probably #20 at season's end if it shakes out that way?

Diamonds. Ice Storms. Chinese Algebra. All of 'em.


Also - serious but probably stoopid question: Does anyone know what became of "Antelope Field"? I'm sure they built some kind of a Gender Studies building on this hallowed and sacred ground, but I'm just curious about what became of it.

We need more depth, a true pass rusher and a dynamic offensive playmaker
