Flashbacks to Wric Crouch no-call.

Not even close. Crouch almost had his head ripped off, and that call cost us the game. The mask wasn't even grabbed just no, it was more of the top of the helmet.

That's because he hasn't, and he won't. Ric specifically said we should get kids off of scholarship that aren't buying in. There's really only one model of doing that in college football that doesn't involve medical/injury-related exits (read: the SEC model), and Ric has failed to provide an alternative to that model that achieves the same results.

 

Unless Ric provides this new model that allows Frost to kick players off and use their scholarship while maintaining our program's honesty and integrity, then it's a more than reasonable assumption he's talking about Nebraska using SEC methods to get players to leave our program and open scholarships.

 

 

Guilty until proven innocent. I took what he was saying a different way apparently.

A deflection, so much for being “very clear.” 

 

I have questions about the level ofeffort I’m seeing out there. I don’t have a list of players I consider cancers.

 

But there’s only one thing to do with cancer once you identify it.

Ask VectorVictor. He’s the one who thinks this debacle is the result of a number of players he’s called “cancers.”

 

Please quit playing dumb. We've heard the comments from players about teammates not buying in, about the players that were laughing and horsing around post-loss to Troy. 

 

If those types of players are in a locker room, they're obviously not buying into the culture and are a cancer. And while Frost can kick them out of the locker room, he can't pull his scholarship. Ric myopically proposed we should just pull scholarships for these players, and I've explained time and again that's not realistic unless we want to adopt a SEC model of running players off. It sucks, but we have an obligation to these players unless they decide to leave to pay for their education. 

 

And considering we treasured a coach and his staff for, among other things, his honesty and integrity, what Ric has suggested kind of runs against the culture Frost is trying to instill.

I keep flashing back to Bill Murray in Groundhog Day...about our great fans in the stands.. paraphrasing..  "This is pitiful, all these people sitting here to worship a rat (our D)"..

At the time I posted, the refs hadn't seen the replay yet. My stream is behind apparently.

I haven’t had time to design a new model for getting kids off scholarship who are team cancers. Maybe there is one. Maybe there isn’t.

 

Regardless, wanting to get rid of the cancers that are impeding this transition doesn’t diminish our integrity.

The players need to experience this.

If anything, it's a wake up call.  Forces a person to see reality, not their perception if it.  The kids who "get it" will use this as a positive moment and strive to improve.  Some, might realize this isn't for them and slide on down the depth chart....

Wrong.

 

Explain to me a model where Frost can get kids to leave and we don't have to honor their scholarships without going the SEC route of making a kid's life hell until he leaves. I'd seriously like to hear one that preserves the integrity and honesty of our program that people purport to value.

Wendy's Twitter is really good. Make fun of us while you can, because in a couple year you won't be able to.
