C N Red Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 Tom Osborne: Nebraska's hire of Scott Frost saved school's home sellout streak Quote LINCOLN, Neb. -- Former Nebraska Hall of Fame coach Tom Osborne said Scott Frost's arrival as coach has "lifted the mood of the entire state" and he thinks the Cornhuskers' hallowed streak of 361 home sellouts -- an NCAA record -- would have ended had Frost not returned to his alma mater. http://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/24382194/tom-osborne-says-nebraska-hire-scott-frost-saved-school-home-sellout-streak 2 Quote Link to comment

OH HSKR FAN Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 Having a lame home schedule did not help either. 1 Quote Link to comment
Pedro G Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Good article except Missouri won that 1962 game 16-7, not Nebraska. Quote Link to comment
RunMickeyRun02 Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 I liked this quote Quote Osborne said Frost's return has "heightened my engagement and level of interest." Quote Link to comment
Hayseed Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Yeah, it saved a lot more than that....ad revenue, gear sales, night life. Quote Link to comment
ZRod Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 It wouldn't be the off season without a sellout streak thread. 2 Quote Link to comment
BoSolich Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 if i turn in my season tickets 5 seconds before the first game starts, does the sellout streak end? Quote Link to comment

No they have sellout streak insurance for this exact situation. So if you turn in your tickets the geico gecko comes personally to purchase them before the game starts. 1 Quote Link to comment

What @Zacharias said about the gecko is nonsense so don't listen to him or the sellout streak could end. If you turn them in to me I have a way to make sure it doesn't end the sellout streak. 2 Quote Link to comment

He went from giving up his skybox to now attending practices with regularity and coming to the athletic department every week. He may have said giving up the skybox was for the AD to realize some revenue because he wasn't doing anything specific for the department, but, I have a feeling he wouldn't have given it up if Frost had been the coach. I'm not criticizing. It just goes to show the difference in people when they feel like something is heading in a strong direction. Quote Link to comment

Hmmm... didn't you pay for them back in March or April? I am accepting all tickets for those who want to turn in their tickets. DM me for more details. 1 Quote Link to comment

Don't do it! Every time a fan cancels their tickets, Vals adds an extra layer of grease to their pizza at Memorial. Think of the old people!! Quote Link to comment
