When you look back on it, he actually did us a favor by proclaiming Frost to Florida. He really raised even more awareness of his talent as a coach.

Reading the new recruits statements most of their comments are about coach Frost and how great it would be to play in his awesome offense. I Think Herbie really added to Frost's value, even though he never intended it to benefit Nebraska. LaughingLaughing

Herbstreit is paid for his opinions and to anchor his show.

In reality, many, if not most, rivals boards have people on them far more "connected" to what's going on than is Herbstreit. Gotta sift the wheat from the chaff.

I know Hubstriet is much younger than myself but when he said "did the 1971 team even pass the ball"
showed he knew nothing about the 1971 team with Johnny Rodgers...He must of been thinking of OU wishbone.

What was sad is Barry Switzer was on the sidelines during that 1971 classic and he could have straighten Hurby out but sat there and said nothing.

One of the great butt hurt moments in ESPN history thanks to Nebraska fans. Eat it Herbie!!

Go check the All Time Sagarin rankings. 1971 NU and 1995 NU - top of the list.

Refresh my old memory, did he actually say "Frost to Florida" or that there was a rumor that they had talked to him? I don't recall seeing anything that said he was going there, but I could have missed it as much as was going in the last couple of weeks.

I believe he said "I would be shocked if Frost didn't end up at Florida."

Yes, would have posted this point earlier if not for being banned temporarily again. Herb said the same thing about Florida State. FL HS recruits now have an elevated impression on Frost . Both fla and fla st. #1 target lost to the land up north, ice and snow.
