I'm in a wait and see mode...I hope frost does well, but I understand the villagers have the pitch forks out and are halfway up the trail. I think the players have bought in, the pieces are there, and the schedule is fair.
now it's just a matter of executing..I think frost should be winning 3 games for every defeat...but I spent 20 some years waiting for dr. tom to win a nc...so hopefully reasonable expectations abound

This was literally written like last week:
Which way you guys want it? If you hate Frost, it doesn't matter which version of him shows up to talk, you are always going to clutch your pearls and gasp about something. Stop being little bitches about everything.
"14. Scott Frost - Nebraska
I'm honestly not sure how Scott Frost recruits players. Not only has he been bad on the field in Lincoln, he barely seems to have a personality. While up on stage he didn't put much of an effort into the event and looked bothered the entire time. He gave no opening statement and very short answers whenever he was asked seemingly any type of question."Which way you guys want it?

I think it was slightly dumb on Frost but end of the day I really don't care anymore if he says the sky is green or we are beating Bama next week. All that matters is wins right now. Nothing else. Lose and he's fired. Win and tell people to suck it.
Yeah I'd be fine with it if we locked him in the Memorial Stadium basement, and let Mickey run things this year
I was ths same age going through hard military training. I saw dudes blow chunks, pass out, **** themselves too. We all lived , no serious injuries. I say no big deal.
I’m not upset I just thought it was a stupid comment and frost is great for putting his foot in his mouth, nobody would give a crap if Nebraska had winning seasons
Look at the obsessed iowa losers crawl out of their caves. Quite the irony.
How many players did pos Kirk and his neo Nazi racist buddy put in the hospital?
Dork boy flick and the swiowaliar should probably worry more about getting to band practice and a Huskers Anonymous meeting.

Scott Lost was part of the strongest and toughest football squads ever. He was coached by some of the toughest guys ever to coach. The fact that he is coming out in year FIVE making these statements versus year ONE is one of the hundred reasons this dude needs to GTFO of leading the Husker program.
I suspect he got the idea for relaying this dramatic detail from a cable movie about a Bear Bryant team that won one game.
After watching the video of his interview with Greg Sharpe, this is exactly what it was. He used a little hyperbole to get the point across that Raiola is working the guys hard.
My outrage is because prior to the last couple weeks, the OL was staying status quo.
Rumor is, the puking ramped up when Frost started helping Raiola, and introduced new protocol.
All OLmen being required to have a big chunk of chew during drills. Frost led by example.
I played. Larry Frost was my coach. I puked once in a practice. Yes, it happens. I am not naive. But in this day and age of “woke” ***** culture as a head coach you have to be savvy about what kinds of “good ol’ boys” shenanigans you can get away with and those you can’t. This is a day and age where some pundits are even saying football should be abolished due to brain injuries. A day and age of surreptitious cell phone recordings and trigger warnings if your bulge is too evident at the company picnic. The days are long gone when you can just line the practice or weight area with puke buckets and then have at it. My deepest concern therefore isn’t that guys are puking here and there. My concern is that Frost is too arrogant and incompetent to know that you just don’t brag about **** like this publicly anymore.

"Puking! There's no puking in football" I know that is not how the line really goes.
As an aside, I don't ever remembering puking when I played FB but I did puke running the 440 in track and later in life when I ran road races. Not every time but every so often.
We occasionally had kids puke on the practice field but not often, it was rare. So those that imply it is normal, I would say it is not. In some cases it is a combination of hard work and what they ate or didn't eat, especially with HS kids.
So no, I doubt this is an every day - 15-20 kids kind of thing and as I said at the start, it is Frost trying to be kind of cute to emphasize how hard they are working but it kind of backfired in the day of many Karens.

At the very least, and this is actually a ****** way of looking at it. Frost bitched and moaned that first year about how weak and out of shape the Riley players were.
Throughout college football history, coaches before and since Bear Bryant, Frank Kush, Urban Meyers and maybe a hundred others pushed their players to the extreme and beyond. They found out WHO wanted it, and who was willing to play the price. Those unwilling to go to that level, quit the game or transferred. The thing these coaches had in common is a lot of W's.
Not all hard *** coaches win, and not all keep their jobs.
But, when Frost took over the program he should have found out who wants it and who doesn't. If a lot of kids left, it was not that damaging to an already damaged program. When you rebuild, you have to begin with the foundation. The foundation being, "we are going to work your *** off."
But, like you say scarlet, why now in Year 5 has the level of effort suddenly been turned way up? It has to do with a paycheck and continued employment. When Moos was here, and it was fun and games with no accountability it was acceptable.
When Frost is eventually no longer in the picture, and people list the many things he failed to do in order to give himself and the program a chance to succeed, it will be one long *** list.
In another thread I mentioned the science of supercompensation in athletic training. The premise is: muscles are stupid, they will do what you train them to do. You train slow, they react slow. You train fast, they respond faster.
Everyone is born with a determined number of fast and slow twitch muscles.
You can't increase the number of either you have, through training you break down the fibers and make them them thicker and they grow. I know this to be fact.
In order to achieve supercompensation, you must "trick your muscles" in order to break through physical plateaus. If you do the same mundane exercises you will get stuck in areas where you cannot break through plateaus.
I think we will see a slightly leaner, possibly a better OL athletically, and without a doubt a better conditioned offensive line than we have for quite a while.
The key is going to be to not deaden their legs in the run up to the game and have a bunch of physically flat linemen. The rest and recovery aspect of getting away from the rigors of fall camp is where the actual growth will come from.
Take it for what it's worth.

Ha. Maybe I have! I clearly do not like Frost. I try not to let it push me into troll status. And maybe I am wrong about this puking thing. But his comments honestly pissed me off as him being his usual arrogant self in public. Furthermore, this isn’t the good ol’ days of people admiring Bear Bryant style abuse in practices. Players do die from **** like this. Back in the day nobody gave a f$ck about concussions either. Now where are we on that issue in terms of greater knowledge about their dangers? If Frost is not exaggerating for effect, then having 15-20 of your 300 pound players puking at every practice is not a good thing. Sorry… it isn’t. Puking during workouts is part of any sport. But it should not be something every single one of your offensive linemen does at every single practice.

This is classic...
We jerkoff when the "old players" talk about puking, fighting, swearing and hazing...beating the **** out of freshmen, hitting dudes after the whistle...

Thanks. And maybe I am hand wringing. I just don’t get Frost’s total lack of PR sensibilities.
I was listening to 590 Omaha and I’m sure they said its ok if a assistant coach says something like that but it’s inappropriate for the head coach and I agree
Seriously, you guys all need to find something else to ***** about - as does the press.
i have vivid memories of an O lineman a year older than me who was really really strong, but super out of shape and basically worthless at football because of it. He would puke so much at practice, he just stopped bending over and it just came out like he was spitting. Helmet on, puke through the facemask, whenever, wherever. Super gross.
I also played with a kid who for whatever reason made puking his calling card
real gross
I don't find it either good or bad. I do though find it humorous that the head coach has to brag about puking to impress the fans. C'mon, really can't he find something more substantive to talk about on his radio show.
