Kool Aid drinkers are scrambling right now.  Should call them the spin doctors as no matter how crappy the performance is by players or coaches, all is good.

Air  Mail Martinez..we had 3 incompletions last week and he can’t throw or run,  kripes 

Hey even a broken clock in right twice a day.  2 bad teams at 11am on a cold and crappy day, sounds about right.  NU come out ahead (somehow) in a 1 point game:  28-27

Why do you bother writing full posts.  It would be more efficient and you'd make the same point by just posting three words on every thread. "I hate Frost"

'

But, you still feel compelled to call me out.  Why do you keep reading them?  For the record, there is not any hatred towards Scotty Frosty.  His performance speaks for itself.

What if we lose? No one would really be too surprised and we would get the same, boring post-game report from Scotty Frosty.  If we play like last week, it could be a true reality that we very well could lose.  Have not done squat on the road under this staff.

At least when he was asked how he looked this week it was he has dark hair and about 225......I’m guessing he’s tired of being asked. Something he said he wouldn’t address since he’s been here.  I’m sure the season not going as he had hoped,team issues etc is wearing on him.  Kudos he still trots out and speaks every week.

He gets paid pretty damn nicely to trot out and speak every week.  That is his job and why he gets paid to do it.  I am sure there are many of us that have aspects of their jobs which they don't really care to do, but have to do them.  Same with Scotty Frosty, can't have it be all unicorns and flowers.  The whole Bill Snyder/Bill Belicheck thing gets old on who may or may not play.  Hell, even at the stadium last week Adrian Martinez was named the starter on the video board prior to kick off......who is he foolin?

When he says fans weren’t happy with the results of past coaches he means fans that he knows.... his co-conspirators.

I was good with Pelini’s record.

 

Truth is it could be like 1991 now or we could stay a conference bottom feeder for a long time.

I don’t think Frost will let us stay a bottom feeder.

As far as expecting Devaney and Osborne results.... may not happen, that’s asking a lot.

I don't think Frost has a lot of say in it, honestly.  If the last couple of years have shown, he needs some serious "buy in" from his guys to make things go forward, and that is harder than he thought.

What husker fans need to realize is that just because you were once a great program, that doesnt mean you will be again.   Minnesota was once great, Yale was once great. The other bluebloods are all in fertile recruiting lands.  Nebraska is the lone outlier in that, which is part of what makes what Nebraska did in the past so special. 

 

Its not to say we cant be great again, but us fans expect it, and that is a lil bit loco.   The only way we may ever be a consistent top 10-15 team again, is if we can land one of the best coaches in the game, and if he has a passion for this place strong enough to stay here for 15+ years.  We may have that in Frost.....time will tell, if he turns out to be an average coach we may never get back to anything consistently better than where Bo had us.  The more time that passes, the worse our chances are.  Thats why if Frost doesnt pan out, our tradition may be a thing of the past.  Does our up and coming generation have a passion for Nebraska Football? If our state loses the passion of the fan base, we lose the one thing keeping us relevant.  And this young generation isnt going to be passionate about a team thats never that great.  They have 100 other teams to choose from , most of which play most of their games on TV.  These next few years are huge....but we need to be patient.  If we ever let go of Frost, im not sure anyone else any good would stay here for long.

I think you hit it on the head.  Anyone born in the last 20-25 years knows nothing about Nebraska being anything more than what they have seen.  I know my own kids are not overly excited or thrilled to go to games, watch them on TV, or even care about them.  They are in HS now and don't have that passion as they have never had anything to be passionate about.  We are on the cusp of never being able to reach the apex again.

What has stood out to me with both Devaney and Osborne, is they were both willing to look "outside the box" and try some things which were not too common during their eras.  From going towards strength and conditioning, to nutrition, to sports psychology, to the types of systems they ran to even bringing in Prop 48 guys, they figured it out.  They figured out you could win at Nebraska and do it consistently.  I don't think too many people would not like to see that today, but you may need to think outside of the box to be different, to be unique, to be something that works here and be the best at it.  I am not sure what edge we can get in this era, but the groundwork has been set in the past that it can be done here.

Intentional or no, this is a Bo Pelini reference, i am both impressed and offended.

Man, I had completely forgotten about that from Bozo.....cringing now with that memory surfacing again

Even if I know the team is bad I still will want to come to the games. My husker fandom isn't based on performance. I want my team to win every time, every national title. But no matter what they do out on that field I will still support them because I love college football and I love the Huskers. There is no one else to support. 

I used to feel much the same way.  Season tickets now for going on 25 years.  What I realized, life happens and it becomes harder and harder for me to put life aside to go and cheer the team on in person.  I go to 4-5 a year now, but as life continues to happen, I see that decreasing to 2-3 a year going forward.  I do enjoy going to volleyball and have had season tix since they moved to Devaney.  It is a quicker game, with a lot of action and very talented athletes competing.  It is also not a full day commitment, which is also a bonus as life continues to happen.  Hit me up next season as I know I'll have tix to sell for football.

Keep your tickets, even keep paying the donation.  There are PLENTY of Kool-Aid drinkers out there, eating up what the media is spewing, drinking up what the coaches are spouting off about.  They will gladly pay TOP DOLLAR for tickets.  My guess, with a little leg work, you could turn over about a 50% profit.  Key is, sell the tickets early in the season, hopefully before the first game even happens.  That way, the con job is still running hot and the Kool-Aid drinkers are guzzling at a feverish pitch yet.  You will get top $$$ then for the seats.  My grandfather once told me.....there is a sucker born every minute son, just don't be one of them !

Did they fix the snapping issue? Did you watch Farniok when he came in? Or are you just constantly throwing darts at your agenda hoping someone will agree with you?

No agendas, but also no blinders on either.  #51 might be a player, but he was "off limits" to discussion, as per Frosty himself, with the media.  That is true accountability.  Say one thing, and do another.

What do people want?  More of what you are drinking....Oh Yeah !

Not only has that problem apparently been fixed, Jurgens is one of our best O Linemen as a Redshirt Freshman.

 

Sounds like some pretty good coaching to me.

 

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Fixed or better?  Yeah, there were still a few snaps rolling on the ground at the QB's feet Saturday, one Vedral did a great job to turn it into a decent play.  Saying you are the "best" lineman at Nebraska does not hold much weight in the CFB discussions taking place.  Im the best ice hockey player in Barbados......

Maybe he should watch the part in Remember the Titans where coach threatened to break his foot off in the player's butt, and then make them run a mile.

 

The coach in your show held players accountable for their mistakes. Or are we forgetting that part of the movie because it's inconvenient?

 

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Hold guys accountable?  Like #51 who spent the better part of this season snapping the ball to kingdom come and back...yeah, Scotty held him accountable alright !

He has praised those in deserve of praise.  Those that need called out, don't get a pat on the back.  I'm fine with this.  But by all means watch your movie.

Maybe instead of chucking guys under the bus every press conference, maybe...just maybe.....he could point the thumb back at himself and his staff and how they are getting schooled week in and week out.  That would be refreshing and that is more reflective of a true leader.  Pass the popcorn

He should make his players accountable, they are playing like s#!t.

Remember the Titans.......team attitude is directly related to leadership.  Maybe Scotty Frosty needs to re-watch with his coaches.

Its proven first thing in the morning is when you have the most focus, brain power and will power.

A). That really makes me question our results and B) why is it not widely done?

Yes, the time we practice is totally the issue.

One of many issues, not THE issue.  Ok Mr. Kool-Aid, how many of the top programs practice at 6am?  I remember college and how much attention to details I was aware of at that time of the day.  As bad as we are, a full review is needed.

At this point, who is a Scotty Frosty fan?  Unless you like big, fat eggs 

Obviously, the whole mornings practice thing is not working either.  Again, force feeding a square peg into a round hole.  Why not have normal afternoon practices and maybe attention to detail will be there.  If this is carrying over to Gameday walk through, maybe that is on the coach?  Stubborn Scotty Frosty at his best

Since McCaffrey will have two seasons of eligibility after Martinez' eligibility expires, I'd say you're a sharp cookie regarding the future.

You are assuming that I was hoping/wanting Martinez to stay at the helm until then.  We had the best QB play of the season Saturday, even with the same crappy team surrounding them.  Neither had the deer in the headlights look and were gamers.  Refreshing to finally see

We saw our future at QB vs Indiana and it was not Adrian.
