Great message, We keep hearing the message of the players aren't bought in. We can't get where we need to be until the players mentality is right. Until they give 100% of their time and energy to Nebraska football. They must continue to believe even when times are hard. Until they believe without a doubt that they can have success.......
Maybe that message shouldn't be just for the players!

That's no kidding. The stuff I've heard from some of our fans and "experts" around the country is almost sickening. Three games into his tenure here and some people sound like they've already thrown in the towel.
The mentality side of things is very very hard to fix. Especially when it is negative. Some of the players have had to deal with 3-5 years of negative emotion. Us fans have had to deal with 15- 20 years of it. So when we start heading down this same path of seeing crappy football. It is very easy to get sucked back into the mind set of, well here we go again. So I don't fault people for being negative this mentality is going to be a hard thing to break away from. The only thing that will break it, is success. The players need this first win badly, but the fans may need it even more.
The video is all fine and dandy, but it just masks the disappointment of another losing season, no bowl, scrambling to fill the recruiting class in February, and watching a team every week that appears to have a fair number of players who aren't real interested in the game.
I wasn't expecting a West championship this year. I just hoped to see a team more motivated and fundamentally sound than a Mike Riley team. I'm not seeing that. I was hoping that unlike a Mike Riley team, the product would get better as the season went along. i'm not seeing that either.

I would say that is my biggest disappointment as well. That basically zero has changed since last year. I thought we would see a least a tiny bit of improvement from last year or at least week to week. We appear to be going backwards.
So many of the players are soft, period. It is strange. At some point personal pride and testosterone should take over.
Mike Riley affect. If I hadn't seen his wife and kids I would have guessed he didn't have an ounce of testosterone in his body.
I bought that to some degree when he was the coach, but even then, at some point personal pride and testosterone should be enough for a college kid playing D1. The psychoanalysis going on is comical.
Hold the phone. Who didn’t watch the game against Colorado and come out feeling like “hey, we look back on track”?
Then we throw in a walk on QB against a good defense and then go into the den against a far superior team.
We may be 0-3 but I can tell you what I saw in the CU game was a team that reminded me of Husker teams of old. Now the team just needs a win to start feeling a reward for their efforts or yes it does get worse. But this is not zero change from last year. Martinez is the real deal as a TRUE FRESHMAN and the future is bright.
I said a Riley would be a loser the day I found out he drove a Prius...when he wasn't riding his bike with handlebar streamers.
Totally agree. Everything that could go wrong has. We know frost is a good coach, it’s gonna happen.
I was feeling pretty good during the middle two quarters of the CU game. Seems like a long *** time ago.
Through in the fact that this team lost its starting center (and best line general) this summer and is transitioning from a pro style attack.
We had issues before Mike, issues that have been lingering since 2001 but Mike was not the answer. The time to make a splash hire was actually right after we fired Solich. I don’t think the Pelini hire was bad but we should have made a splash hire after Bo. He won 9 games for 7 consecutive years and we fired him so that the next guy could take us to the next level. Still don’t get the Smilin Mike hire.
Thank you Eichorst and Alvarez!
We've got the man we wanted, he understands the "Nebrasks Way" and will get the talent.
Reading the cubskers post mentioning the CU game, I also saw a glimpse of the future, it felt good.
Coach Frost is a winner.
GBR!

I agree, the CU game we saw a glimpse of what Neb should be. Yes I believe Frost is the guy and we are heading in the right direction. All teams face adversity , the great teams find a way to overcome and work around. Right now Neb is not at a point to do that. There is no sugar coating it, this team looks like crap. Outside of the first half against CU there has been no change from last year. It just is what it is, people just need to accept that for now and hope things get better as the year goes.
