Stewart Mandel Prediction

[ChocaEgg]

That's a 25% improvement over the previous season. You have to keep riding that sort of a rocket ship.

That will no shit be presented as part of the justification for keeping him. Then you'll have the taters clamoring for another year to let Frost, Whipple, and Mickey gel.

I think Turd expects more than 6 wins myself. I’m guessing he might expect something like 8 wins. We will see if his nuts are still clipped if Frost wins 6-7 games and gets abused in 2-3 games.

Tbh, I don't think it really matters what Turd thinks. Only matters what the taters with cash want.

I think Frost is fired at 6-6 (as he should be)

Not sure about 7-5 (not sure what Alberts would do)

He's back if he goes bowling.

Easily. Would not shock me to see a contract extension given as soon as we hit six wins.

I want to disagree with you but I can’t. Logic tells me he is fired, but our boosters are a joke.

I think this is a very real possibility. The fact that we hired two assistants that are highly regarded nationally, plus Frost is still a TC favorite. TC is going to be out in full force as long as our season isn’t over on Black Friday. I think 6-6 brings frost back. Not because of what Turd wants, but because of what the money wants.

Guess he has us beating Rutgers & Indiana in conference play?

Is Nebraska closer to breakthrough or breakdown? For Scott Frost, a lot is on the line

If Huskers hold up in the trenches (and special teams), they could reach a bowl game with a manageable schedule. But those are big ifs.

Interesting note: "Frost, while handing control of the passing game to Whipple, maintains oversight of the ground attack."

I didn't know this, is this correct or just old/bad info?

Would explain us hearing so much about how good our run game looks/run blocking is better. Of course - Scott is overseeing the ground attack.

 

[Tsakoi]

How happy will the other Big 10 coaches be if we go 6-6 and keep Frost?

the sooner we all learn that these national media pundits are all smarmy graduates of Northwestern or Missouri or similar schools that I hate and just ignore them completely, the better off we'll be.

I agree this is veryyy possible. BUT looking at the sequence of the schedule, ending up 6-6 would most likely mean the back half of the season is a miserable slog.

I'm assuming if we lose to NW it means the wheels are off immediately and we wouldn't even make it to 6 wins in the first place. So let's say 3 of our 6 wins are NW, North Dakota, and Ga Southern. A 6-6 season after a 3-0 start means we'd go 3-6 the rest of the way, with our best shot at wins being the stretch of Indiana, Rutgers, Purdue, and Illinois, which ends on October 29... with four games left.

Long story short, 6-6 FEELS like it would be enough because people could say it was progress, but the actual route to ending up 6-6 most likely means we stumble our way through most of the season, and probably lose at least our last four games. I don't think there would be much goodwill or patience left from the fanbase by that point.

 

[vailhusker]

I think he confused North Dakota and North Dakota State, but it is going to be a quick turnaround to play a game.

GBR shitheads!

What a dummy

Holy shit that is funny. Never seen Stewie get ratioed like that.

You don't want to piss off the NDSU fans. They are a proud bunch. NDU was 5-6 last year and had to replace a lot of talent.

Mandel also predicted FDONUQB 2AM and KSU to go 10-2 and win the Big 12.

I didn't catch that. That's interesting.

If NU stumbles with Thompson and KSU is cruising with Martinez whoop, look out boy. That will crash RSS.
