On ESPN now. Hideous blue smurf turf.

Any body else notice that stat ESPN had up about Frank solich bowl games. Said he only had 2 at Nebraska. That's not correct. Started in 1998. Coaches until being fired in 2003 which his team went to a bowl but pedey shine canned him before bowl game

 

[HUSKERFAN66]

Really packing them in the stadium

 

[Spectrumalaska]

Still remember him as my Driver's ed teacher along with being coach.

Back to back titles 1977, 1978. Go Knights!

 

[Captain Nick]

I don't mind getting to watch extra football but why is this a bowl game? Having to go to Idaho in Jan. is far more of a punishment than a reward.

 

[Spectrumalaska]

It is Boise trying to be relevant. Their field is butt ugly, and stadium is like high school.

I disagree...I like their stadium.

 

[Nebraska_Reality]

I disagree...I like their stadium.

Plus they've been winning....

This game decides once-and-for-all the whole Solich-Callahan(Norvell) debate

 

[Tarheelhusker]

Frank loves the option. Nevada hasn’t been able to stop it as yet.

 

[Captain Nick]

This game decides once-and-for-all the whole Solich-Callahan(Norvell) debate

Why is Norvell not just out scheming Frankie? This makes no sense.

 

[Baxter48_rivals204143]

Frank might choke this one away

 

[Charlie Marlow_rivals363743]

That one play just might turn this whole game around

There’s nothing that everyone on this board will agree with, lol.

 

[Baxter48_rivals204143]

Typical frank coached game

 

[Husker_AMG63]

Typical frank coached game

Yep......he won!

 

[Charlie Marlow_rivals363743]

Typical Norvell game.
Why that reverse?
Why not kick a FG?

Once had beers with Frank. Guy could slam beers and slam women.

Must have been after Crouch ran over your DB, huh? That would have been the only time Frank would have been in Iowa City.

 

[Baxter48_rivals204143]

Yep......he won!

Yeah he won lucky he didn’t coke it away

 

[WHCSC]

Games on that field are unwatchable

 

[phoenix4nu]

At the same time?

 

[Bigred_b1624]

Ohio won their 3rd straight bowl game. Nebraska misses a bowl for 3rd straight season, coincidence?

 

[Spectrumalaska]

I still feel as if Frank Solich was more talent we bled after Osborne retired.

 

[SeaOfRed75]

Yep......he won!

Yeah that approximate 58% winning percentage at Ohio proves you right.................Barely.

 

[Anon1725817592]

Lol

Yeah the most wins as a MAC coach is kind of a dubious honor as well. Good coaches dont usually stick around long enough to get that many wins cause they get upgrade job offers and split..

Reminds me of Crash Davis from Bull Durham quietly setting the minor league record for home runs... just not quite good enough to make it to the show...

Imo, Pedeyshine is the main reason NU cfb dropped to the bottom of the bucket. Truly the worst AD ever.

Has he been racking up losing seasons everywhere like we have?

 

[RedSea_rivals91325]

Congrats to Frank and his team on the Bowl win!

Haha. Yeah that about sums it up.

 

[Charlie Marlow_rivals363743]

No it doesn't.

Great smaller stadium. I’ve been to two games there. Boise in a fun town. Too many damn Californians moving in so like a lot of places it is growing too fast. I am glad Frank’s team won. When the game was being played I was out in sagebrush country hunting quail. I was keeping up with the score on SiriusXM. Got home in time to see them wrap it up. Frank like the rest of us is looking old.

We are going to have to disagree. I’ve been to two games at the Boise stadium and I think they do a first class job. It only seats 36000 but it’s well run during games and has good seating. Another great smaller stadium is The University of Montana’s stadium. Even smaller, but built by one of their fat cat alumni, Denny Washington. I love going to Missoula too. Very cool town.

The blue field needs to go for TV's sake. Man it's almost impossible to watch a game played on that field.
