This has been going on for a while though. I posted about this months ago and I got ridiculed. So much for being an insider  I will definitely think twice before dropping info on here in the future.

Info will likely get leaked as official Saturday and then we will "officially" announce Frost as our HC after his CCG. This is going down exactly how 2007 did. Pelini flew up after SEC CCG and on Monday, December 3rd he was introduced as the HC. We are currently on the same exact schedule with Frost. He'll be here on Monday to meet with the players, and the press.

Does anyone know what this Football Excellence Fund is for?  I was under the impression that it was extra pay for the assistants not for Scott but has that changed?  Why would Scott give his own money for himself? 

The FEF was founded by the guy (Google can't find his name) who founded Kresge's 5 & Dime stores in the Midwest. It was and still is the retaining pool of funds for the Nebraska County Scholarships (NCS) for UNL football. Kresges store re long defunct now, but the NCS remains.

I didn't say anything else that others on the board didn't post as well.  That you become so irritated over someone's opinion is concerning. This is a discussion board.  You are entitled to your opinion and I am entitled to mine.  I suggest you read more than one post on a topic before blowing up on people.  

Kb's response was unnecessarily snarky. No more cough drops for you, Kb.

With Scott it seems to be all about Scott.  I dont really think he gives two craps about NU over another University.  So if he does come here it will be all about money.  Because there are no real good football reasons to come here.  Much better sich at UCF

last rant, everyone remembers the best fans booing Scott as a player? right? hypocrites

 

Would you like to show us how to be the lowest common denominator?

yeah like the best fans gave Frank and Bo the great send offs- oh, yeah that was ok because one was perceived to be an ahole- f- the greatest fans BS already

He was asked if he and his reps were going to meet with FU (sic) tomorrow. He said he wasn't. I took it to mean, nope. Why would his reps meet with FU? No idea but that tweet doesn't worry me at all.

How did you take that from that tweet?

Parella.   It’s addition by subtraction. You get rid of Riley and it shows fan base you care.  Right now it appears that moos will wait irregardless of how this team or coach performs.  It screams apathy.  They don’t care so why should we???  

Your premise is wrong from the jump. Moos is doing exactly what he said he would do when he was hired, and the fans who heard that understand why he is waiting.

Irregardless is not a word.

To the bold: That's rich.

 

But just look at your post. You shoot down any sort of non-supporting evidence for Frost but then back up your claims that Frost is 100% with the same weak, heresay arguments. It is reading way too much into the tea leaves at this point. 

Look, you need to walk away from this. Your obsession with Jessica_0 is kinda weird.

The OP's point is valid.

Whew, thanks HuskerMav11. You saved this board from possibly 20 minutes of anti-Riley bowel movements. You're such an inventive soul.

my point exactly, look how demanding the fans were then when we were relevant!

This ongoing yr after yr after yr with the woodshed beatings, the the embarrasment on national tv just about every time we go national

They would have strung up riley and crew and every other debacle of coaching staffs we have had in the last 15 yrs

Not my point tho. The fringe fandom has always had irrational expectations for the teams.....the difference between now and decades past is that internet gives them not just a chance to post immediately but to try to be cute at the same time. NOTHING has changed, and that was my point and the common denominator I referred to. Irrationality then and irrationality now.

Dude we were LIGHT yrs better then  we played and competed and won against the best in the country. We were always ranked in the top 15 and most the time in the top ten

If this piss poor excuse of play would have been around then how long do you think TO would have been around?

And do you remember TO almost going to Colorado due to unrelenting and largely unfair criticism directed at him, his staff and players? C'mon man, tell you can see the common denominator here......

Why are people using the same excuse that they did for Bo?  Remember the old "TO always won 9 games"  and "People wanted TO fired too"

Just spitballing here......because it's valid?

might be "reasonable" but not probable  and as far as TO's limits, since you cite no details of meaning, I'm not sure you can prove those "expectations" were false- unless of course you're talking about the "fans" expectations- those same expectations that almost got TO to go to Colorado.

Except that they were both coaches for Neb, kind  of a bad analogy 

I can help ya with that. TO reached his ceiling with the passing game after Devaney. He pushed a passing game with Devany (Ferragamo says hi) but then reached his limit. Oh wait, then he went to the run option game. OTOH, for years he only recruited big bruising players....shoulda been fired. But then he began recruiting speed in the 90s.

In case it escaped you, TO was on the back end of the curve in the minds of a few savants......until he wasn't. Good thing Devaney was the AD back then and not the wizards on this board, otherwise TO would have been called Timid Tom and fired.

They have something else in common.  Ass-kickings.  TO gave them...Riley got them

Welp, Switzer gave them.....TO got them. TO shoulda been fired.

you're welcome-anything I can do to clear the equivocation in the situation and make it a reasonable analogy 

Let's you out of the convo.

Hey I realized I wasn't done talking and edited a smidge. Lol

All I'm saying is it's better to be a realist than overly optimistic. 

Or, one could say that it's better to be fair than reactionary.

So you think that because his entire

coaching career was spent coaching at .500 that it means nothing? Facts are facts, and they don't care about your feelings, just saying.

Not putting words in Red's keyboard but I think he is saying that he is more focused on what Riley accomplishes here rather than OSU. Just saying.... (can we agree to knock off using that dumbass phrase?)
