...2009 Nebraska Football... Greetings, Children of the Corn. Are you ready for Memorial Stadium to roar to life on Saturday, September 5th? If not, you better check your pulse! Coach Pelini and Portland's own Ndamukong Suh are well on the way to building a dominant Blackshirt defense, and to returning the Huskers to their rightful place among college football's elite. Join us at The Refectory for the season opener on September 5th at 4pm, as Florida Atlantic experiences the Sea of Red (pay-per-view, $5 each). Watch all the bone-crunching action on one of several large-screen HDTV's, and enjoy great food and drink specials all game long. The complete line of chapter merchandise featuring our new logo will be available. Great raffle prizes will be given away as well. Just a reminder, watch party attendance has increased dramatically in recent years. In fact, last year's season opener drew an estimated 450 Husker fans. Actually, we lost count!!! The house will be rockin' again this fall, so be sure to arrive early for good seats. Doors will open one hour before kickoff. All OR4NE watch parties are now completely smoke-free, so children of all ages are welcome. We'll see you on opening day, and every game day this fall for Husker watch parties. Wear RED, and be loud! The OR4NE Board |

...What's Happened & Upcoming Events... Hi Husker fans! Its been a while since the last update and there is lot to report. The University was a busy place in mid April as the Husker football team held their annual spring game and UNL hosted the NCAA Women's Gymnastics Championships on the same weekend. In addition, there were concerts, plays, special museum exhibits and more. The weather for the spring game started out cool and cloudy, but the sun came out and really warmed things up. Almost 78,000 fans showed up and they were not disappointed. If Zac Lee can stay healthy, I think the offence will be in good hands. LaTravis Washington also looked good for only playing QB for a couple of weeks. Helu did not play due to injury, but Castille looked strong and fast Receiving is still a concern, but Chris Brooks and Antonio Bell both had good games. Another bright spot was the play of the tight ends. As we expected, the defensive line looked great, but the linebackers and defensive backs need some work. I think the kicking game is in good hands with Alex Henry handling both chores well. The NCAA Women's Gymnastics Championship meet was a real treat. Unfortunately, the lady Huskers just barely missed getting into the meet. At first, it looked like a three way fight with Utah and Alabama going toe-to-toe with Georgia. However, the Georgia Bulldogs pulled away in the end with nearly flawless performances on floor and vault.
OR4NE has reserved the picnic shelter at Dabney State Park in Troutdale, Oregon. Located on the Historic Columbia River Highway, Dabney offers stunning scenery, extensive walking/hiking paths, disc golf, horseshoes, swimming and a boat ramp. The shelter is equipped with a sink and electric outlets. The Children of the Corn will definitely be fired up for Ndamukong Suh's senior season as the Huskers run toward a Big 12 title and a BCS bowl game. There will be plenty of good food, fun and games, so bring the kids to this family-friendly event. Guests are requested to bring their favorite side dish or dessert to share with others (OR4NE will provide everything else). The picnic is also a great opportunity for members to renew their OR4NE membership and purchase the complete line of club merchandise. Remember, all renewals or new memberships will receive a free raffle ticket.
WHEN: Saturday, August 22, 2009, 11am-4pm WHERE: Dabney State Park, Troutdale, OR COST: FREE

Save the date now, and we'll see you there! ...CORNHUSKER KUDOS... On behalf of the entire Board, I would like to thank all the 'Children of the Corn' who worked so diligently at the Letter Carriers Food Drive on May 9th. We sorted and packed more than 18,000 pounds of food, obliterating the old record by 22 percent! The afternoon got off to a rocky start without a truck and totes, but once they arrived we worked with the efficiency of the '95 National Championship team!!! Husker Nation also salutes the many mail carriers at the Clackamas/Gladstone Post Office who collected the food as part of their normal mail routes.
Chuck Mussman Community Service Chair OR4NE ...Ducks Add Scott Frost to Football Coaching Staff... Courtesy of Ducks.com Scott Frost, who served as co-defensive coordinator and linebackers coach at the University of Northern Iowa a year ago, has been named wide receivers coach at the University of Oregon, according to the Ducks’ head coach Mike Bellotti.The 34-year-old Lincoln, Neb., native and six-year NFL veteran was elevated to co- defensive
coordinator for the Panthers in 2008 after serving as
linebackers coach in 2007. He also quarterbacked the
University of Nebraska to the 1997 national championship
and a 42-17 Orange Bowl win over Tennessee.Northern Iowa finished tied for third in the Football Championship Subdivision in takeaways (40) and ninth in the country in scoring defense a year ago (17.7 ppg), dropping a 21-20 decision to Richmond in the national championship semifinals. In 2007, the Panthers’ defenders finished sixth in the country against the run (91.0 avg.) and seventh in scoring defense (16.9 avg.). UNI completed last year with a 12-3 record, leading the Missouri Valley Football Conference in rushing defense (107.1 avg.) and scoring defense, after posting a 12-1 mark in 2007. Frost (1/4/75) was tutored by some of the legendary football coaches of all time, including Stanford’s Bill Walsh, Nebraska’s Tom Osborne and the New York Jets’ Bill Parcels. He brings with him a wide array of experience as a standout collegiate quarterback and a coaching background that encompasses the defensive side of the ball, as well as special teams. “Scott was one of the most impressive young men I have ever had the opportunity to interview,” Bellotti said. “I felt his passion and knowledge for the game was extremely enlightening and believe that will carry over into his ability as a coach and a recruiter.” After quarterbacking the Huskers to an unblemished 13-0 record in 1997, the second-team all-Big 12 Conference standout broke into the coaching ranks as a graduate assistant at his alma mater in 2002 before filling the same role at Kansas State in 2006. He began his collegiate career as a two-year letterman at Stanford in 1993 and ’94 before transferring to Nebraska in 1995. The Huskers’ two-year starter and 1997 Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award finalist quarter-backed teams to a 24-2 record while completing 192 of 359 passes for 2,677 yards and 18 career touchdowns. Included was a senior season in which he became only the 10th player in college football history to both run (1,095 yds.) and pass (1,237 yds.) for 1,000 yards in a single season. His 2,332 yards of total offense fell one yard shy of what was then the school’s single-season record set in 1971. “I’m absolutely ecstatic about this opportunity to coach at the University of Oregon and am excited for the chance to work with Mike and Chip (Kelly, Oregon’s offensive coordinator),” Frost said. “They have some unique things to offer and the ability to attract some of the best athletes in the country. I feel the offense at Oregon is the best in the country and their potential to what they can accomplish is unlimited. “I feel blessed to have played and been around some really good coaches and have benefited from some of the best offensive minds with the likes of Bill Walsh and Tom Osborne,” Frost added. “Before his passing, I had the privilege to get counsel from Coach Walsh regarding my desire to break into the coaching profession. He advised me to get in wherever I could. He actually began his career coaching defense, which I didn’t know until then.” Following his collegiate career, Frost was selected in the third round (67th pick) of the 1998 NFL Draft by the New York Jets, where he played safety and special teams from 1998-2000. His professional football career included stops in Cleveland (2001), Green Bay (2001-02) and Tampa Bay (2004). The two-time first-team academic all-conference choice and 1997 second-team Academic All-American graduated with a B.A. degree in finance from Nebraska in 1997. He replaces Robin Pflugrad, who had served as Oregon’s wide receivers coach for the past three seasons. Frost’s appointment is effective immediately, with his contract to run through June 30, 2010. |
