Roundball Shaman Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 Here’s some comments that America heard from the broadcasters about Nebraska during the national TV coverage broadcast of the Northwestern game: “From the Heartland of America”...“From the Land of Corn”... “Lincoln. It’s something special, isn’t it?”...“Took a walk around the campus. It’s magnificent”... “This Nebraska team is just an inch away from being...better”... “I think Scott Frost thinks he’s the modern day version of Tom Osborne”...“Scott Frost is the right man to turn this thing around”... “This game today is the most important to his (Frost) program.” And here are the most poetic comments: “When the leaves begin to turn, the Boys become Men in the Heartland of America”... and then, the game winner: “The Limbo Field Goal! How LOW can you GO!” Quote Link to comment

broganreynik Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 I’m pretty sure Tim Brando said he thought Frost is the modern TO, not that Frost thinks he is. 2 1 Quote Link to comment

I believe Tim Brando earlier in the year said Scott Frost was the best hire since Nick Saban. Might be a little bit of hyperbole in there and too early to say for some, however I think Mr. Brando always enjoys his time in Lincoln and has fond memories of calling games in Memorial Stadium.

dvdcrr Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 In the corny land of corn, lets go watch a 13-10 game and absorb its comfort like a small shot of morphine in the recovery room, and.... when the hell does the plane leave? Quote Link to comment

As such, here I am googling it two years later and very glad someone else caught it lol lol Quote Link to comment

Roundball Shaman Posted October 24, 2021 Author Share Posted October 24, 2021 Interesting ‘rollin’ that you remembered this after all this time. Sometimes it’s useful to consider what outsiders say about you. That doesn’t mean what they say is true or that you should believe any of it – just listen and consider a point of view from outside the bubble as was said in those words back then. Let’s look again at these comments: “From the Heartland of America”...“From the Land of Corn”... (Yes, it still it that.) “Lincoln. It’s something special, isn’t it?”...“Took a walk around the campus. It’s magnificent”... (Yes, it still is that.) “This Nebraska team is just an inch away from being...better”... (That’s been the problem. Two years ago... ‘just an inch away’. Some still think it’s that close now. Others see not an inch here but a mile). “I think Scott Frost thinks he’s the modern day version of Tom Osborne”...“Scott Frost is the right man to turn this thing around”... (The first part might still be the case – remember this is about what Frost thinks. And Husker Nation still wonders about the second part.) “This game today is the most important to his (Frost) program.” (This turned out to be a big NO for that game back then. But today, the most important game now for Frost is always his NEXT one.) “When the leaves begin to turn, the Boys become Men in the Heartland of America”... (The leaves still turn... Boys still become Men in the Heartland... and dead threads can magically come back to life in the magical days before Halloween.) Quote Link to comment

Boredom brings the worst in this board. There has been a few threads that make you wonder if people are not high… 1 1 Quote Link to comment
