Scott Frost - What is he talking about?

Scott Frost just said, "Expectations around Lincoln have been low for far too long"...what in the hell is he talking about. Your knucklehead fanbase had you winning the B10 Championship to start the year last year. In one press conference early last season during an 0-2 start, you, Scott Frost, stated you didn't want to schedule a make up date for your postponed game on the date of the B10 Championship game because you planned on playing in it.

Expectations have never changed in Lincoln...your fans talk like it's 1997, and 22 years have passed. Not one time since Nebraska joined the B10 has anyone outside of Lincoln thought Nebraska could win the B10 Championship. Your only entry in the championship game...Wisky dropped 70 on you.

It's no wonder their fanbase gets their undies all tightened up this time of year. If you listened to that B10 Network segment tonight, you would think Nebraska has improved so much and is playing so fast that no one in the B10 stands a chance of beating them. Reality is a dish best served cold...and it's coming to Lincoln.
 
Frost is just babbling. He doesn’t have any purpose or meaning behind what he is saying. It’s just his version of “everyone is competing totally hard, and everyone looks good and I’m really excited”
 
If Nebraska wins that season opener against Colorado last year perhaps they parlay that to a 6-6 or 7-5 record. But they committed a stupid personal foul on fourth down when they were ready to go into victory formation and it cost them the game. Frost dribbled the Northwestern game down his legs as well with bonehead coaching. And neither Frost not his players could stop flapping their gums. Frost with his choice comments after the Purdue game. Their linemen Reuben Foster saying he couldn't wait to beat Iowa. Foster was a senior. His wait will now be til eternity unless he beats Iowa as an assistant coach.

It's like LaVar Ball. Both believe that if they yak about something long enough and often enough they can will it to happen.

They get people talking, and in Frost's case it may be helping recruiting, but in sports you still have to deliver quantifiable results at the end of the day. It's not like Howard Stern who built his career by actually attracting listeners who hated him more than loved him, but who couldn't stop listening because they couldn't resist what he might say next.

If anything, it’s the reverse. They are way too high in Lincoln and boringly low in Iowa City and has been for many years.

Agree. The expectations were never low, it was the execution and production of the team.

The BIG 10 network was in Lincoln and on this morning. About puked in my mouth. They were just gushing over Nebby and "how they look so different and bigger from last year. It's just shocking." Blah Blah Blah. Nebby will start out 4-0 then really start playing competition and end up with 4-5 losses.
 
I think Lil Debbie will be much improved, but the issue is their DEFENSE. Can they stop anybody? They really didn't last year. If they don't play great defense, they are still staring at 6-6 or 7-5 in a tough West Division. 7-5 may cut it at other places (Iowa?), but it would be a huge disappointment for the nutty fan base at Nebraska.

It's apparently not helping him recruit...they are in 12th place in the B10 right now ahead of Rutgers and Illinois. 64th best class and only have 8 committed...where Iowa has 22, I believe.

You are entitled to that as a fan. But if Kirk can average nine wins a year (over the next five seasons) with a low key approach while Frost averages seven a year being a rock star then I am taking the low key approach. Problem is too many people today will prefer the Frost approach or the PJ Fleck approach and that's what the talking heads gush over.

You get the feeling that media people want Nebraska to be relevant again so badly that they think they can will it to happen. A similiar phenomenon has been going on with Harbaugh for five years now but with Urb out of the picture perhaps the substance will finally measure the hype over there as well.

I could care less about Nebraska and I could care less about the number of wins kirk gets as that is like measuring strictly a batting avg in baseball. It only tells part of the story. I care more about who you’ve beaten and where and under what circumstances. To me, that’s more the measure of a coach and program. Just like the guy that hits 300 in baseball but can’t get the job done with runners in scoring position or when the game is on the line in a big game or the postseason
 
He’s doing the Patriot bs where they have to strain to portray themselves as underdogs and “nobody believes in us!”
 
You have to realize he has to appeal to that living-in-the-90s fan base. Those words is like music to their ears.
