Wrapping the flag around sports is always disrespectful to the military. Trivializes their experiences and sacrifices.

Unlike last year, a very favorable schedule. If NU wins the games it should, it only has to win 1 of 4 against the tougher opponents (Northwestern, Ohio State, Iowa, Wisconsin). I like those chances.
Reply
attitude and preparation are favoring the team. In addition if the team takes inspiration from Coach DeWitt and his personal; challenges off the field then look out.
Reply
I'd think 7-8 games is more reasonable but the favorable schedule gives them a win or two.

Darrion Daniels is the reason why we get to 9. Before his transfer announcement, I had us at 7. This young man will make THAT much difference. He will allow the ends to get in the backfield.
Reply
The schedule and a better D. They lost five games under 5 points last year. This year will be much different. Go Big Red!
Reply
The first 4 games are key. Not only wins but some convincing victories will go a long way towards scoring an upset along the way. Anything less than 8 wins would be a disappointment. 10 wins is doable

I love this university and all of it's student/athletes/coaches/instructors. I feel this team is on the right path. Keep hopes high but know that growing pains will still rear their ugly heads. GBR
Reply
Lack of experience in O line, lack of running back and wide receiver depth and big questions still remain on D. I see them at 5-7 or 6-6. Jack, Omaha, NE

Things look very promising, but I'm not ready to ramp up my expectations until we see the results on the field this season. GBR!!
Reply
We will be better but the team is so young. I think 6-7 wins is where we land. I hope we get nine, just don't want to get my hopes up. Just beat Iowa!!
Reply
The staff walked into a mess. I expect improvement...but 9 wins is out there but it will be tough.
Reply
Not enough depth to reasonably win 9+ games. We'll need outstanding discipline and execution with precious few injuries to have a shot at 9+.
Reply
Unknown commodity or lack of depth at way too many positions including RB, WR, OL, and LB.

Spielman should easily be top, but Wandale Robinson may be the season surprise with many exciting plays.
Reply
Spielman will be more of the go to guy. I'm looking for Warner to do some really great things this year along with Stoll. Adrian's running might have more of an impact and that could open everything.
Reply
although depends on what you consider as far as stats to be the top receiver. If it's yards - then JD Spielman, number of catches may lean to Jack Stoll

That blogger is mad that Barry Alvarez wasn't a SEAL. Emulation of Navy SEALS is to honor the SEALS not cast aspersions at them.
ReplyThey are respecting the SEALS by trying to emulate them!
ReplyScott did this with the utmost respect for the Seals. The Seals live a standard to which he wants the Huskers to aspire. That's about as good as it gets. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
ReplyIt shows respect for our heroes and want to strive to their example.
ReplyGet the players motivated
ReplyUmm... Great form of flatery. I also think the group that conducted the training has a few special opps guys running the show! My best friend is a die hard Bucky fan, but the Homer.. Wow!
ReplyIt will make the Huskers tougher, more disciplined, more capable of winning and better conditioned than their opponents. It will add to the win column and they will be able to block & tackle(!)
ReplyThat's ridiculous! Seems like Supreme respect.
ReplyHe's a badger fan. Of course he's going to find any way possible to manipulate this into a bad thing. If Damien is more than cool with it then so should everyone else be. Wiscy fans must be scared.
Reply#GBR
ReplySNOWFLAKES will be offended by anything. This is a motivational video HONORING the SEALS. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery that one can pay to GREATNESS!
ReplyUmmmmm........we have a SEAL on the team. Does Wisconsin have a SEAL on the team? Didn't think so...
ReplyWhat is a what is a wisc guy watching this?? They in wisc don't do will with knowledge
ReplyI've worked with Navy SEALS. Not one of them would have taken that video as a slap in the face. The blogger is full of BS.
ReplyIt shows that men need to do the job 100% of the time and that cutting corners will lead them to inadequate results as a man in life and on the football field. Doesn’t say they are Navy Seals! C’mon!
ReplyGBR!!!
ReplyTeaching young men how to be successful in all they do.is never disrespectful..
ReplyIf someone is offended by the mere fact that a former SEAL thought his brother's can be represented this way, then I suggest that offended person take that sand on the beach, and pack it.
Replyi think it shows a respect and admiration to the SEAL community. The SEAL community is the greatest warriors of our military. Huskers training similarly, aiming to be the best in college FB. GBR
ReplyNo doubt this guy is a wimp.
ReplyFormer Marine. I see no disrespect. And Navy Seals do not exclusively own this type of training or frame of mind.
ReplyShows massive respect to what navy seals do to prepare. No where did I hear they are better than seals. It shows hard work.. perseverance can get you to that elite level on the field and in life.
ReplyI am a retired veteran. Scott is trying to instill leadership into his team and players, to play as one. This has been lacking in the Husker football program for the past few years.
ReplyThis is just a Wisconsin pansy crying because his team didn’t think of doing This. That a former Navy Seal didn’t think it a slap in the face by suggesting it, then it isn’t.
ReplyAs a former Marine who has done a fair share of boat exercises, I didn't take it as disrespectful. They got a few hours of work in. We did that for years. It's good training and builds teamwork.
ReplyIt may have offended Wisconsin fans and or anyone not wanting to see us grow as a team. The goals Frost and Co. are trying to achieve are so much bigger than football.
ReplyI'm a Vietnam era vet. Damn proud to see something like this in today's society. No disrespect......
ReplyCalling it disrespectful is a joke. As a veteran of the Marine Corp I took it as a positive sign and respect to the Seals. Why do we listen to bloggers any way? Any hack with a computer is a blogger
ReplyThis was filmed while working with organization called The Program. Maybe you need to look up who makes up that organization. There is a UCF video showing the same training. Ex-Navy vet here.
ReplyThat "well-known blogger, and rabid Wisconsin fan" failed to consider AND acknowledge.. a former Navy SEAL who is currently on NU's roster came up with the idea! I trust Frost & D Jackson's judgement
ReplyNavy Seals are the only ones goal oriented, focused, implement a work ethic and commit to excellence?
ReplyIf I remember correctly, the guy who runs this training is a former SEAL himself and he does it for other sports teams too. It's a way to build bonds and foster greater teamwork.
ReplyThat was out of respect on what they go through everything should strive to be in shape like the Seals
ReplyThis i the stupidest commentary ever to emulate the Seals is to honor them. Perhaps the writer is jealous.
ReplyWhoever thinks this is disrespectful to our navy seals clearly is looking for a story where this none to be found... get a life, and of course this is brought up by a ignorant Wisconsin fan.
ReplyIf anything it is honoring the Navy Seals and the message in the video is powerful and I just spoke with my boys about the message. GBR
ReplySimmer down now Bucky badger! If anything this video makes me even more inspired for what the Seals do. GBR
ReplySome folks just look for something to *itch about.
ReplyYou can't do anything without offending some snowflake out there. Sick of it.
ReplyAs a combat vet I am proud to see this type of passion passed on to the young men of husker football. How can a flake who has never served even know what disrespects or offends those who have
ReplyI’m a Force Recon Marine from Grand Island and this video is not an insult to us, but a salute to the warrior spirit that bonds men together whether on the battlefield or on the playing field.
ReplyScrew Wisconsin
ReplyThis stuff has gone one for years.
ReplyIt was no way improper!
ReplyI thought it was awesome and even if these were not athletes, it would still be a great thing for a lot of guys and gals to be going through.
ReplyWhat is wrong with people the video was great. Why do people read things in to some thing that isn`t there. Frost is bring back the culture that we lost. GBR
ReplyJust absolutely remarkable, respectful, and heartwarming to see this video. It makes me so proud of our team to work and associate their goals to be in alignment with the Navy Seals. God bless.
ReplyJust a Wisconsin shmuck...trying to put our team down. Go Navy and Go Huskers
ReplyNo it's not--but if the Huskers go 4-8 again?! lol
ReplyIt's a leadership training course, nothing more, team building. Never once did they imply anything different.
ReplyI thought it honored the SEALs.
ReplyThe Wisconsin blogger's account is totally homer (and he admits it!) but for Squareoffs to do this article is legitimizing a person who is not a legitimate "blogger". He is a tool and admits as much.
ReplyI have seen the hype video on many sites. And many comments from those that have served. Or currently serving and they think it's awesome! And so do I Go Big Red
ReplyI observed no disrespect from anyone in the video. Special Operations units do not have patents on specific training. "Winey Wisky" fans are mad their team doesn't look as good as out land lock boys
ReplyWhere is this Wisc fan coming from? If anything, it is a great compliment to our Navy SEALS.
ReplyRabid: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/rabid 1a : extremely violent : furious. I could give a rabid rat's ass what someone thinks from Wisconsin... or from any other school for that matter
ReplyStupid. If anything it shows MORE respect to the SEALS. Nebraska respects them so much it wants to pattern aspects of culture-building in its' program after them. Somebody needs to get a life.
ReplyAsk Damian Jackson!!! He is a SEAL
ReplyWhy are we even wasting time with this showflake?
ReplyGo Big Red That What I Say
Replyjust because an opponent's fanatic says it is disrespectful does NOT make it so
ReplyRetired military here. A nice tribute to the hard work Seals put in preparing and training even in peacetime.
ReplyWisconsin has snowflakes this late in June?
Replyjust sour grapes by an opponent
ReplyGet out of here
ReplyThis video was recommended and helped to design BY A SEAL! If nothing else, it's a compliment to our Navy warriors.
ReplyRidiculous unfounded assertion by this Wisconsin “fan”.
