That's true.  I mean it's vicious over there no doubt, but it's just a board.  There are great fans at UCF I'm sure.

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.

Yes, this.  Horrible fans.  They turned on Frost immediately.

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!!

I'm having trouble finding the UCF AD giving SF 24 hrs to decide in the NEWS. Did that really happen, or is that a board rumor from somewhere? That seems like a bad look for UCF forcing their own team distraction when trying to secure a championship & Big Dollar bowl bid. It seems to me that UCF has an economic incentive to give SF until after the championship game, at least. SF's contract gives him a $200K bonus for winning his championship & a major bowl game.

 

The way the dominos have fallen, it is crystal clear that Frost is coming to NU, S if the UCF AD is sitting on his hands instead of searching for his next HC, that is incompetence on HIS part.

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.

Hey @ATS Knight What are the UCF Fans thinking about this? Is it a sign he stays at UCF, or is he N?

 

What are your percentages at now?

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).

I think the whole "Frost is the only hope" idea is based on more than just coaching.

 

Moos hit on fan apathy and a fracture within the fan base during his presser yesterday. Frost is probably the only coach at this time (realistic coach anyway) that 90% of Husker could both be excited for and patient with. He's the only option that grew up in rural Nebraska and understands the fan mentality of Husker fans - "its definitely about more than winning, but don't lose to Illinois and Purdue, ever."

 

If we hire Campbell or Fuente or whoever, it's going to be a long apathetic of season. Leach is really the only other realistic option that would generate major excitement, but it'd probably be the wrong type of excitement for over half the fan base.

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?

I can agree that he’s from Nebraska or somewhere. 

 

Never even heard of the guy. But, I can believe this. 

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

Nebraska nice, right?

Disclaimer: The only UCF game I've watched this year is the UCF-USF game on Friday. From looking at the seasons box scores and what I saw of their defense the other day I'll be quite content if their DC stays and gets promoted to interim HC.

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 still think Frost is on way to Lincoln- like 225%. Friends? 

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.

You nailed it

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.

He has never said that.  He said that there was a verbal agreement, which there is, and that it is up to Scott to sign the contract when the time comes.  That time has not come.  Hedley can't control if Frost changes his mind.  This is why the verbal contract has went away.

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.

Thanks. I've lurked on different boards for many years, but when I found myself here, I finally found a board that seemed worth actually joining. The rational to crazy ratio seems better than elsewhere. I don't often have much to add, but I hope to stick around and chime in when I do.

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

Congrats ATS.  Hope you continue to post on this site.  Really enjoyed the game, when I did come back UCF scored as it changed.  So I stealth watched, can I get +1's for that.

 

The defense seemed similar, body blocks for tackles and arm tackles.  I would want something a little more hardcore Nebraska, but the offense, actually both of them were fun to watch.

 

I hope for your sake he stays home, but for all of us, he can not get here fast enough.  All of us will feel your pain, well for at least a couple of seconds, when he leaves.

 

I truly hope he comes home, but if he doesn't would really like to see him stay there and prove things not thought possible can happen.

 

Great game!!!

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.

Flowers does this to just about every defense he plays. Absolute stud and a once in a generation type talent that USF couldn't get to a conference championship. SAD

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.

I feel you.  Look at Purdue.  We barely beat them and they beat Iowa who destroyed us.....

 

Y'all are undefeated. First time a team has never won a game to being undefeated in year 2.  That's no small feat. Enjoy.  But like all fans, y'all want more.....

 

I follow Clemson as my other team and look at them losing to Syracuse......

 

I just don't like the 3-4.  Thats just me.

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.

Flowers went off.  Hard to stop a guy like that with a 3-4 and no spy. DB's have their back to the QB against the spread, LB's in coverage.  Usually rushing 3, maybe 4 against 5, any crease in the LOS, a guy like Flowers is gone.  Would love to have a guy of his caliber at NU if we ran a spread option O, throw in some RPO and he'd be lethal....\

 

I'm not a fan of the 3-4 unless you have real horses up front.  Especially against aspired team, their formations pull the LB's out of the box and usually have less hats on hats.... 

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.

Only gave up 42, and to a high powered offense -- massive improvement over giving up 50+ to the bottom dwellers.  

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.

Are both UCF and USF's players that much faster than ours?   The game looks like it's moving at an entirely different speed... and I don't just mean time between snaps.  

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?
