Serious question @.1. do you cuss this much on a message board because it makes you look cool?

It helps to make people see your most important gotdamn points. Because sometimes you got some ignorant mothaf#&%as on here that want to try to act all oblivious in this sum b!^@h like they didn't catch what the f#&% I had said the first time I typed it out. So when you say it to them like THAT it makes it to where the only thing they can do is either sit back and shut up because you made too much damn sense or it forces them to have to acknowledge your most trenchant points you made in their NEXT gotdamn post. 

You see I don't like to f#&% around when I type. When I say some s#!t I mean it. I already type to gotdamn long as it is for mothaf#&%as to sit here and act like they don't know what the f#&% I'm talking about or like they didn't catch what the f#&% I had just gotdamn said before in the last messaged I typed. 

And any freaking body that knows me from ANYWHERE..... on ANY gotdamn forums.... on ANY gotdamn message boards...... already knows this is how the f#&% I gotdamn type. Because I say s#!t coming from the heart. I say s#!t with some damn passion in it but I also like to make got some gotdamn sense when I type too. You see I'm always up here making some damn sense don't you? Well alright then. Sometimes the only thing you can tell somebody is to have a coke and a smile and shut the f#&% up. Enjoy the show.

Conveniently you left out the 2012/13 seasons which were both double digit years. So it's stillt so different scenarios.

Do they matter? I mean s#!t man how much does even matter if you have both programs regressing from 9 wins to fewer wins in the 2 seasons before Frost took both of them over? How a program performs for the last few years is most indicative of who they are. Period. When a program is trending down, then they are trending the f#&% down! Doesn't matter how great they were doing before. Doesn't matter how many wins or "double digit" victories they had before. When they are trending down, it's hard hard haaaaarrd to bring them back up. Conversely when they're trending up, then you can gain some momentum and keep it going if you're a good enough coach. It tends to get "easier" when the program is already gradually progressing up from the last few years you inherited them. Let me give you some examples of what I'm talking about.

Here is USC, FSU, and Oregon respectively and their last few seasons before their down periods:

Now when you look at this, notice it didn't matter what the f#&% they did before they regressed in win total. It didn't HOW many gotdamn wins or "double digit wins" they had before they started to trend down. When they started trending down it became hard like hell for them to be revitalized after they start trending down. So going back to the Nebraska and UCF scenario, both programs already started trending down in which it was already hard to bring that back off of that downward spiral. It didn't matter what they did before they started trending down. It didn't matter how many wins UCF got a few years before they started trending down and neither did it matter for Nebraska. The point is that they were in fact officially trending down to where it became a tough mission to bring them back. That's always the case when you have that happening. Frost even said after his Auburn victory to his players in the locker room right after "I inherited a group of guys (in UCF) that didn't even want to be in the damn building...." which tells you how screwed THEY were when he inherited them. So if anything, they were more f#&%ED than when he inherited Nebraska going by his words and definitely going by their record.

What makes you think it's not happening already?

Oh we know damn well it's happening already. We aint got to point to all the sources and players we know who have been paid for already. But at least we shouldn't legalize the s#!t. It's not good. Weed, yes legalize it. Paying players? No sir wee! There's too much "negative consequences" with that happening versus legalizing marijuana which wouldn't hurt nobody.

First, what I’m saying is it’s a tougher grind to go through the big10 than the aac.  Pretty indisputable and is different than beating 1-2 good teams a yr, think Boise st.  I’m not dismissing the accomplishments of that team but there is a reason a 1 loss pwr five school would have been in the playoff instead.  Do they go undefeated, 1 loss, 3.... I don’t know but would have been much harder.  My other point was momentum was easier to come by as you faced much easier schedule with UCF having better athletes.  Also, did UCF lose 60-70% of their prior class to transfer, or their first class....likely no.  Way to hard to compare the two.

 

on the recruiting side.  They’d been talking to a number of them just many of the hire rated players liked the staff but wasn’t going to commit to a g5 school, Nebraska changed that.  I know they were on Smith, legrone, and mo as well as others.

Ok. Nooooow you're making somewhat of some sense. The Big Ten is obviously a tougher grind than the ACC, but let's be clear on something. 2017 UCF beat the next veeerrrry best team in the country that wasn't already in the playoffs and NOBODY from the Big Ten was that team. So that UCF team did the very best they could possibly do in beating the incredible Auburn team that destroyed the 2 best teams in the country that year. That's alllllll the hell they could do and like I said before, Auburn that year was obviously better than anybody in the Big Ten considering who they destroyed from the SEC that year. So it's easy to assume the UCF team that took them out would have beaten ANYBODY in the Big Ten that year too. 

Now with that said, I'll agree with your second point that of course it's more easy to gain momentum with an easy schedule, but you're missing the fact that Frost built an overall great team that year that could have contended with the very best in the country and win! You see they were good enough to beat Auburn. So if they had a schedule consisting of the Big Ten that year, there's evidence enough to say they "could have" won that conference. And they beat Auburn while making a ton of mistakes as well too where Milton was not even close playing to his best potential. 

And to your other point I got to ask, who lost 60-70% of their roster to transfer? Because I'm not sure about UCF when Frost inherited them but I sure as hell know Nebraska didn't. What could have caused it if that was even the case? Old coach getting fired? New coach getting hired? That happened when Frost took over UCF too. It's not like Nebraska had any "scandals" and such that would cause such a huge turnover. So what happened?!?!

We used the same damn clumbsy a$$ players in Frost's first year that got Mike Riley's a$$ fired - that kicker who had the ability to kick for negative yardage whether it was at kickoff or for punts, those bone-headed mistake making a$$ players Frost had to kick off the team his first year he was here, etc. They were all here on this mothaf#&%in team making the same mothaf#&%in 4-8 a$$ season happen again that got Riley's a$$ fired and ruined Frost's first season here. 

And You say Frost and staff have been "talking" to some of the recruits they brought onto Nebraska while at UCF? Well gotdammit man they needed to do more than just "talk". They need to do "VISITS" and "EVALUATION" of these players. Needed to see what kind of f#&%ing "PERSON" they are. See what they actual do on the field for 4 quarters with their own gotdamn eyes man. See what their criminal history is. See what their grades are. See their leadership (or follower) skills are, etc. Frost and staff didn't have time to do NONE of that s#!t while they were coaching the best 2 year turnaround in college football history! s#!t these mothaf#&%in coaches "talk" to hundreds of mothaf#&%in kids every year *pause* but they only sign around about gotdamn 25 of them. 

What the f#&% …. is "202"!?!?!?

Schools should be allowed to cut non-contributing players since they will essentially be getting paid once boosters figure out how to exploit this new rule.  That will allow them to buy a new player that could contribute.  I would be in favor of getting rid of the guaranteed 4 year scholarships.

What's to stop schools from literally bidding for the top recruits? The new perennial power houses would be Texas, Michigan, and other schools that have a ton of money. You'd literally have teams buying players off of other teams. Again,it would just get too messy. 

This is college football and not the NFL. I mean s#!t man, if that's the case, you might as well pay these damn kids in middle school and...... f#&% that..... kindergarten if we're so damn concerned about them getting injured or getting their "just dues" early. 

I don't care WHO the f#&% is on this team come next season. They better get to a damn bowl game or else Frost is fired.

And i believe his last 2 classes are very good.  Like i said however, they will be Freshman and Sophmores.  I agree that we should still make a bowl, but it sounds like your saying we have better players than Iowa? Freshman and Redshirt Freshman/True Sophmores are typically quite a bit worse than they will be when they are Seniors.  I would put my money on a 30th rated class of Seniors over a 19th rated class of Freshman or Sophmores....easily.

Look. You could in all likelihood be right. I'm not mad at your proposal. But the thing about it is that Frost apparently is soooooooo damn good at evaluating talent that HIS "freshmen and sophomores" at UCF went mothaf#&%in undefeated capped off with a victory over Auburn (team that destroyed Alabama and Georgia that year). So s#!t. Apparently Frost has got the "magic touch" when it comes to these recruits. But to be fair, no I won't be mad at him thaaat much if he doesn't beat Iowa … at Kinnick Stadium at that. But I'll be mad like holy hell to Kingdum Kum if we don't make not even a damn bowl game in year 3 of his tenure. Then it's like "What the f#&%!?!?" That's all I expect though really - Just a damn bowl game. And I'm mad that I even have to expect JUST only that but I'm reasonable. However, if this coach is any of the kind of "special" that we think he is, that the "nation" thinks he is, that he was when he won all those "coach of the year awards", that he was when he created the first and only "winless to perfect" 2 year turnaround in CFB history, that he was when he won all those championships at Oregon and took them to the national champions beyond their first playoff game, then when the f#&% are we going to see some "special" s#!t come out of this guy? Like you got to figure when will it happen?

Frost is a good coach and I believe he has what it takes. But if this "1 extra damn win of progress" s#!t keeps up, then I don't know if I'll be sane or even alive when the s#!t actually does come to fruition. It better NOT take 9 damn years to beat Iowa. I mean I'm just saying that it will based off the kind of progress we've been making lately, but it holy hell BETTER not. I expect (yes EXPECT) Iowa to be taken cared of within at least the next 2 years or so. Maybe this year. But if not then defo next year for sure. They are NOT invincible like some people are trying to make them seem as Bo Pelini literally took care of them 90% of the time he was here with no problem. 

Alright good. Seems like the only damn guarantee for Nebraska every year is our sell out-streaks. We've got the nation leading sell-out streak in the regular season and a bit of a streak going now in spring-game sell outs. 

Let's keep this thing going. There should be plenty of interesting enough players showing up from this supposedly "very talented" recruiting class to make it worthwhile, but this time let's not take too much out of a spring game because we never know about how it'll actually translate onto the field on gameday. 

Last time, I actually thought that since Martinez was so damn good in his spring game, then he'd be all "lights out" and what not in the real games. NOOOOOOOOOOOPE! And we all thought that since Fields was like 4/17 in HIS spring game he'd be all "like a bust" in the real games. Again NOOOOOOOOOOOOPE! So let's just enjoy this scrimmage. I don't give a damn what I see this time in performance. There's no expectations from me this time. I mean hell, I don't give a damn if A QB goes 0/100 or 100/100; If the defense gives up 100 points on both sides or 0 on both sides. It just matters what the hell shows up on the field come real gameday. Period.

But let's all enjoy this.

You can’t begin to compare the situations at UCF and NU.  For starters, ucf was only a few yrs removed from double digit win seasons, not the case here.  Our culture had been eroded over the last 20 yrs, UCF 3-4 yrs.  also, getting some wins early, this starting to build confidence leading to buy in, is much easier in the AAC then the big10.  You put those same UCF squads in the big10 and they have, minimum, 2-3 losses.  Recruiting wise......many of the kids they’d been evaluating while at UCF, it’s not like they had no idea who these kids were.  I think bigger than that the kids followed frost, and the recruits didn’t have a chance to evaluate the school/location.  MW was a unique situation that I think the coaches were well aware of the red flags but took a leap.  It backfired but just as easily could have worked out.  As pointed out many transition classes struggle more times than not. 

You daaaaamn right you can't begin to compare UCF and NU. For starters though, I need to correct you on your:

" ucf was only a few yrs removed from double digit win seasons, not the case here."

Bruh, UCF was 2 years removed from a 9 win season before Frost took over there just like Nebraska was 2 years removed from a 9 win season before Frost took over at Nebraska. Don't believe me? I'll show you! 

So as you can see Nebraska may have regressed from 9 wins to 4 wins right before Frost took over, but UCF regressed from 9 wins to 0 wins! And 0 wins is waaaaay mothaf#&%in worse than 4 wins gotdammit! So I don't care WHAT you say about "Frost inheriting a better culture or team or situation or whatever at UCF than Nebraska". These numbers simply just don't lie. A team coming off of 0 wins is waaaay gotdamn worse than a team coming off of 4 wins. Period! 

And which UCF team are you saying would have went 9-3 in the Big Ten? The one from last year that literally just went 9-3 in their own conference or the one from 2017 that beat the Auburn team that destroyed both Alabama and Georgia (the two teams that played in the national championships that year)? Listen, I don't give a damn WHAT you're assuming with that one right there since it's irrelevant. Hell, you can throw "this and that" assumption all around the place but at the end of the day that 2017 UCF team that went undefeated beat a better team than anybody in the Big Ten that year! You're always more than welcome to say "this team would beat that team" since that's always a possibility in ANY game played in college football on ANY given Saturday, but I'm telling you now there's no clear "evidence" to back up your claim in regard to sticking with facts just from the 2017 season that UCF would have went 9-3 in the Big Ten. None. You can say that, but I won't damn believe you. And there's no evidence to back that up. Therefore, you might as well drop it since you can't win that argument and neither can I really. So enough with the "assumptions". I like to stick with straight fa...fa...FACTS when I debate and argue with people. 

And how the hell is Frost going to "evaluate" players in the middle of coaching a team to an unprecedented undefeated season (which is a veeeeerrry hard thing to do) from being winless just 2 seasons before? Literally ALL of his and his staff's focus was on their team that year keeping them focused and ignoring all the outside noises. Frost was not worried about no gotdamn recruits coming onto Nebraska that year and by the time he was even hired to Nebraska he STILL wasn't as you've seen he still went off to coach UCF's last game. He wasn't thinking about carefully evaluating "this 4 star" and "that 4 star" for a top 25 recruiting class at Nebraska. The ONLY player there's any proof and evidence of him recruiting before he got to Nebraska was Adrian Martinez which was the first player he gave an offer to literally the day he got hired at Nebraska and was the only player really offered that day. THAT'S how you know he was sure of a player he evaluated before he got to Nebraska. But MOST of his first year's players were recruited simply just in time for the early sign date which gave room for NO evaluation then, and due to the Auburn bowl game, NO evaluation even at the national sign date. 

And I don't give a damn about MW since they have nothing to do with Frost or where he's been.

Your point still stands.  ZERO All Conference  since 2015? If i understand corralecticly.  That still says ALOT.  I mean people here think we have more talent than Iowa lmao.  Not even more than Purdue.

 

Edit:

Ok maybe a bit of exaggeration, but fact is we have lacked talent to a serious degree.  We might have equal talent to slightly more than Purdue, but we have had far less than Iowa has had.  This is why Iowa makes fun of our fan base.  We look at Iowa as a manure field, but truth is two-fold ;   One- Iowa isn't as average as Nebraskans perceive it (as a football program that is!  As a state they truly are a manure field).  Two- Nebraska has had talent on the level of Minnesota/Kansas State/Missouri/Purdue Etc..., but our fanbase still thinks we have top 25 talent due to our recruiting rankings.  We HAVE finished around 25th in recruiting rankings for a while now.  But we have lost more to attrition/coaching changes, and simply busts than almost anyone.  After all that, what is left on our roster is very weak talent levels......less than Iowa and less than 80% of the BIG.

Frost has had 2 "non-bowl" off-seasons now to carefully recruit some damn talent on this team. I understand most of his first class was a bust due to lack of careful evaluation as he was busy coaching UCF to a fully perfect season and the early sign date worked against him at the worst time possible, but if we suck more than Purdue, Maryland, or any of those kinds of teams then Frost has GOT to go. We really should even be better than Iowa since not only are we perennially recruiting waaaay above them but now it should be Frost's "careful" gotdamn eye that can fully SEE which players are for real actually talented, have good morals, good grades, etc since again he's had 2 damn non-bowl game making off season (so pleeeenty of time to carefully "evaluate") to put some talented as players on this damn team. So we should be whooping Iowa and plenty of others teams this upcoming season as well.

I don’t have have sympathy for universities. Check out those endowment funds or the preferential tax treatment universities are given on the returns on those funds? 
 

Take a look at what power 5 administrators are compensated. Power 5 football coaches? Talk about costs that are out of control. Take a look at the top 30 coaching salaries out there and compare that to how the NFL compensates their coaches. Want to save some money? Seems like a pretty good place to start (talking more about reform

on this - it’s not professional right?)

 

Kids need to be compensated fairly and should be able to make money off names etc. These coaches and administrators are paid like they are running a minor league team/business. Giving a kid an education is money, but anyone arguing that is fair market value for their services, especially for some of the elite athletes is out of touch. 
 

This isn’t the 70s/80s anymore. Look at what these athletes/coaches make now.

Dude, these kids are already getting a free education off of their skills and name anyway. If they didn't have the skills and name they wouldn't have been recruited to go on scholarship at their dream school in the first place. And if these kids really build their name and skills up, they're going to make a ton of money in the NFL anyway. You also got to think of the fact that "what if a kid is a bust in talent, does an unforgiveable crime, plays absolutely terrible in game, has terrible grades, transfers, etc. Would you like the fact that that player drained your school, fans, community, etc of money if that ever happens? That would lay cause for the fans to reeeaally berate the "players" and not the "coaches" then knowing those kids are doing horrible while sucking their money up. You can see it now:

"This damn guy (kid) is sucking our money up while losing every single freaking game that's important to us, while throwing interceptions, can't rush the passer, can't block to save his life, etc"

I mean these coaches getting paid as much as they are is part of the reason why we're so quick to blame and dispense hate onto them the second they mess up. 

"This dude (coach) is getting paid THIS much and can't even win a freaking division, bowl game, beat our rival, etc."

It would just get too messy. These kids are getting enough in the free education they're getting now where the rest of us have to pay back tons of thousands of dollars in loans when we go through the same schools they're going to. They don't then need to get more money just for playing. If they get injured they can get surgery and come back. But if they keep getting injured then they won't make it in the NFL anyway since they're too soft. And they can't make a "living" off of just their college playing days. 

AAAAAAND just as I told you all. Right on que! Bo goes to LSU but it was a "done deal" likely a few days ago already anyway.

Well Frost tends to only increase very slightly in win total by 1 damn win a year. So by that estimate let's see:

 

First year: 4 wins 

Second year: 5 wins

third year: (should be) 6 wins

Fourth year: (should be) 7 wins

fifth year: (should be) 8 wins

sixth year: (should be) 9 wins

seventh year: (should be) 10 wins

eighth year: (should be) 11 wins

ninth year: (should be) 12 wins or UNDEFEATED

 

So actually judging by this system it should only take NINE YEARS for us to become relevant again. You're a year off. So strap in boys it's going to be a loooong bus ride to the top.

Wisconsin loses a ton. Maybe this is the year we beat them.

Nope. Not in Camp Randall. Let me tell you something.

These teams in the Big West are the same.....damn....team they are every year. Doesn't matter what the f#&% these teams lose. Doesn't matter what the f#&% these teams bring back for the most part. They're the same damn team eeeeeeevry single freaking year and if you don't believe me then look at what Wisconsin lost before last season and they still put on the field a damn "ground and pound, 2,000 yards Jonathan Taylor, Winning the West" type of as team like they normally do. It's no different no matter which players they use. They're going to have yet another Jonathan Taylor just like they replaced the f#&%ing Corey Clement as player from before J.T came in. It doesn't matter what they use. Same thing goes for f#&%ing Iowa, and the rest of these "same team different players" a$$ teams. 

What's important more than anything is if Frost gets Nebraska to functioning at our best in order to be able to beat these "obstacle course" type teams in the west who never get any better or any worst than they are every season for the most part. But the best Nebraska team WILL be good enough to beat these "obstacle course" Big West teams, but who the hell knows when that'll happen for FROST at Nebraska. Not MIKE RILEY's best team(s) at Nebraska. Not BO PELINI's best team(s) at Nebraska. But the best SCOTT FROST team(s) ought to whip every single Big West team's a$$ and challenge for the Big Ten overall. Point blank period. 

However, judging from the very slow a$$ progress under Frost we seem to be having it looks like it'll take 9 damn years for that'll happen since we've gotten so damn weak as a program that even a coach of Frost's caliber (and he is in fact a VERY great coach) can gets us just only about 1 extra damn win a year. So hang on for a while before you look at us beating Wisconsin. I'm telling you right now that s#!t is going to take... a MINUTE! (very loooong minute) But it's coming.
