Caustic Culture

[lo country]

I remember when Frost was hired.  To paraphrase, if you want to work hard and put in effort this will be the most fun playing football you will ever have.  If not, this probably isn't for you.....With the roster flip, comments and performance, it would appear that Frost's way was not for a lot of guys.....

Did he start a change.org post on Facebook?  Those seem very effective.

Sorry, I can't quit laughing about the thought of a player petitioning for shorter/easier practices....on a Scott Frost led team. If that actually happened...

I know the new era hasn't been as swift a turn around as we wanted, but I've heard that the culture in the locker room continues to be something that might shock a lot of fans. "Leaders" calling for mutinies during cold practices, "leaders" partying too much, "leaders" spending too much time with the dopey smoke. I'll admit, after last year I wanted to pull the trigger on SF and Co. But after hearing what I have, from a credible source, I'm willing to give this staff as much time as they need to clean house. It may be a long haul...

Thoughts?

On a positive note, Ozigbo apparently had a peace pipe attached to his hand during the Riley years. Once Frost came in, changed his attitude and focus and we saw how his senior season turned around for him.

I think that new posters should have at least 100+ rep before being allowed to post a thread.

Well, to Tyrin's credit he probably needed to go see a house or meet with a contractor to talk about sink options in a kitchen.

QUESTION:  Why do college football teams have "19 and 20 year old kids" and the Armed Services have "19 and 20 year old MEN"?

ANSWER:  It's a matter of expectations.

 

 

Have you met young service men? They are crazy as s#!t

Maybe the team should start an internal organization...or even a club, dare say, to address this.

 

I mean, it's time these kids should hold each other accountable and start by asking "do you really want to hurt me"? And each mister, man...I bet they would move away like a runaway train and say "yeah, I'll tumble for ya." And when that happens, our karma, chameleon-like, would change instantly.

I wonder if OP will ever return to this board?

The change would be easy if their favorite colors were like my dreams; red, gold, and green.

The army still has 18 and 19 year old kids.  Insisting otherwise doesn’t make it so.
