No matter what happens this weekend and the rest of the season. The darkest hour is just before dawn.
We will get the right people and leaders in position to turn this ship around. I have so much confidence.
1) Harvey Pearlman is gone.
2) Eichorst is not making the inevitable coaching hire.
3) Our native son is coming home.
4) We are NEBRASKA.
I think what made Nebraska so special was that the football team emulated and embodied the character of the people of Nebraska:
tremendous work ethic, blue collar, self effacing, confident, yet humble. A People who make sacrifices for the betterment of the whole community. Descendants of homesteaders and farmers. We can't help it, it is in our DNA.
These are all traits that are missing from the current team. Something Callahan, and Bo refused to embrace. It is as if it was not cool to be Nebraska anymore. Well maybe it isn't cool, but Nebraskans get the job done, and they don't bi&ch about it. they put their heads down and go with 100% effort. Frost is a Nebraskan, he cannot fail. A good argument can be made that Scott is so successful because of his Nebraska upbringing and character. Frost embodies the characteristic that most Nebraskans have. His teams feed of that. I saw the UCF pregame locker room video. Frost came in the locker room, looked around at his players, and said "we are dialed in" The kids didn't yell or get too emotional, they just looked like they were ready to tear apart what ever was waiting for them on the field. It is the same look Osborne's teams had during the tunnel walk, quiet, confident, and determined to get to work.
Boys the storm is here, all we need to do is grab on to something with all our might, beyond the calamity we have a date with destiny, all we need to do is get through the storm, and we will, because we are Nebraskans!
