Damn psychics... They just make predictions that apply to everyone...

I'm not saying that UCF fans are the most mature (there's a reason why I'm here and not there), but there are much worse fanbases out there. They are just a bunch of young fans that have never had a coach leave and are now attracting gloaters from Nebraska and other schools.

Let's be fair, the loudest part of one message in the middle of a coach being hired away is not a great reflection of an entire fanbase. If people judged Nebraska fans from the ones on the UCF board, what would they think?

Ok for whom?

I might have to create a Twitter account to keep up. The suspense is killing me. Somebody outside of Nebraska fans tell me whether they're stealing my coach!!

It's from Ryan Bass from UCF 247. So somewhere in between board rumor and legitimate news site. Edit: I apologize, I can't find anything actually from Bass about an ultimatum, just last ditch effort for Frost.

I've been out of it all day. I'm guessing y'all know more about UCF fans than me at this point. My percentages now are 85/15 Nebraska/UCF. I'm still catching up on everything, but if White actually gave Frost 24 hours (or anything similar), that means he hasn't made a decision yet. But if White is giving an ultimatum, that means he's not very confident Frost will choose UCF or that he has some good replacements lined up that he doesn't want to see poached (unlikely).

Ok, so I keep hearing about fracture(s) within the fan base. What are the fractures? Is it fans that wouldn't like a non-Frost coach? Or different philosophies about how to move forward (spread v. power)? Geography? What would Frost be uniting?

If there's even the possibility of him being from Nebraska, don't you owe it to him to hire him? Nebraska nice, right?

Boo! We think that y'all should really grab Chinander. He's from Nebraska or somewhere and so you should really take him if/when Frost comes.

I've not wavered, I think 60% Lincoln, 35% UCF, 5% somewhere else. How could I not be friends with Husker fans? They're nice and they don't troll. It's like being in an AOL chatroom before they got creepy.

I think Muhlins and Phwentes are good secondary options.

I get where you were going, because I was sensing the same shift. And on this topic, it's a zero-sum game between Huskers, Gator, and UCF fans. So if I'm feeling better about Frost, that means a bunch of Huskers fans are feeling worse. I like Fuentes.

I think what KRC is referencing is Hedley's attitude, not necessarily his words. I don't think there is a conflict between how much of the contract can be done ahead of time, but I've also noticed a shift from "Don't worry, Frost is N" and "It's done, it will happen soon" to "We'll see if he's a man of his word" and "He has a choice to make". I don't think Hedley is a liar or trying to lead anyone astray but I think there is some nervousness about the perceived shift in confidence.

Me too! I'm converting to associate Nebraska fan status because of the fans/board.

It's hard for UCF fans to be sad about Frost after everything he's done for the program. I wouldn't mind at all if he rebuilt Nebraska. Appreciate the post. Yeah, the USF fans have been pissed all year about how misused Flowers has been. I agree. If a guy like that is not in the Heisman conversation, that's on Charlie Strong.

Yeah, sorry. This is kind of me eating in front of the starving. But it feels like sometimes y'all forget who you are. I wasn't born a UCF fan, I was raised a Gator fan. And all I knew about the Cornhuskers was that they were the team that humiliated the Gators in the Fiesta bowl and were to be feared. So don't pine after the scraps from anyone's table (especially a G5) or anyone that is better than terrible. You were a program that terrorized other teams for a long time. How many other programs have that kind of history. The potential is still there. The history never goes away. It might feel like a window is closing, but all you have to do is find the right guys and the "Nebraska is Back" narrative will come whenever you're ready.

Yes, Flowers went off. But you know who was able to hold him and USF in check better than us? Cincinnati, Tulane, Houston, UConn, Tulsa, and, wait for it, STONYBROOK. We did just as well as Temple and San Jose State, so there's that consolation. Yes, they it was a rivalry game, so it was different circumstances, but I know the horses we have on this team, they are capable of far more. I don't know a single UCF fan that disagrees with me.

What I'm hearing is, "Our defense is terrible, we should upgrade to a frighteningly inconsistent DC. The fans of the undefeated team he coaches for should be happy about the results, but instead are wondering how much better they could be without him." I get that your DC is terrible, but less terrible should not be the goal.

I see there is a lot less interest in Chinan(d)er after the War on I4. Good decision.

Yeah, they're fast in Florida. Can they tackle? Sometimes.

Fantastic game, brutal for UCF fans. We have some great players on defense, it feels like they're being misused a lot of the time.

Now it's looking more like Frost football.

Where in Hawai'i are you?

Keep flipping and I'll plus one for every score.
