It’s funny to make fun of him and Nebby about this but he’s right - there is no rhyme or reason behind cross division scheduling in the B1G. It’s really odd.
Nebraska’s schedule too difficult for Scott Frost
- Thread starter awd4cy
- Start date
As a fellow wrong side of the Missouri River person, I corrected your statement. Their isn't a living "average UNL fan" who thought they would win less than 8 games, most expected 10-2. Now this point in the season, reality may be setting in. However, come next spring they once again will be planing their trips to bowl games and the B1G championship game?
Actually, after reading the linked article above, I think it may be apathy that’s setting in. Which is far worse.
Yeah, there were times in my Cyclone fandom when I thought ISU would never escape the cycle of apathy.
Couldn't happen to a nicer guy or a nicer fanbase. I hope they continue to lose every game, including their spring game.
it is because the east division has all the best and strong teams , west really sucks they need to send Penn St. and Michigan Sta. to the west
I disagree. I would rather they go 1-11 every year only managing to hang a loss on their nearest big 10 adversary.
Frost want to bring the team back to the glory days of the 90's. When players were tough and didn't wear hoodies during warmups.
“I told them ‘just OK never existed in the locker room that I was in when I was at Nebraska,'” Frost said. “I want guys that live and die for it that want to be great and are tough. I don’t want guys that go out in Minnesota with hoodies on everything for warmups. That just says to me that ‘just OK is enough.’ You got ridiculed or beat up when I was playing if you did that. We gotta keep getting tougher. We gotta keep getting more talent in here. And we gotta keep working. We’re just OK right now, and I’m not going to be happy with ‘just OK.'”
Frost has received criticism from some over his comments. Some pointed out what they felt was irony in Frost’s comments because the coach was wearing a hoodie indoors while commenting on his players wearing hoodies in pregame warmups.

I'm not sure why these bigger conferences don't have a mechanism in place to re-balance divisions every 5 years or so. They never release conference schedule till the year before anyway.
You seem to think that UT and OU will get some special treatment if they join another conference, and I think that is not what would happen.
It didn't happen for Nebraska, Colorado, Missouri or aTm, but these conference will do it for UT or OU is what you are saying.
Have to disagree, once in the conference, and the promises do not happen, are they going to leave their new conference and then join another one?
My point all along has been that UT and OU need to look to what is happening to Nebraska and realize just how good they currently have it in the Big 12.
It's funny you think any of those 4 schools are on the same level as Oklahoma or Texas.
Exactly. You don’t live around the worst kind of Husker fan...”Husker fan that lives in Iowa.”
Not nearly as funny as you thinking the UT and OU will get special privileges by a different conference.
Exactly. They can take one or two run of the mill West teams and, by manipulating their schedules, make them appear much better than they actually are.
Nothing about the culture inside the program appears to have changed since he's been there. I've seen nothing that leads me to believe they're gonna take some giant step next year either. Maybe he should just play all the young guys now.
Their first four years in the B1G were 9, 10, 9, and 9 win seasons including wins over MSU and Penn State and Michigan. Pelini was their best bet.
Hell even Mike Riley won 9 games in one season.
That was about what they were doing in the Big 12 prior to leaving and some of their worst losses were in the Big 12 in the early to mid 2000s.
This all goes back to late November 2001 when Nebraska football was changed forever by Colorado. Never been the same since.
BTW I think I read or heard somewhere that Frost refers himself in the 3rd person quite often. Not exactly shocking.
Thanks a lot for the visual. In my mind's eye I just pictured Scott Frost in the Borat mankini.

The success of those first four years were mostly due to, IMO, recruiting inside the Big12. And #1 NU getting blasted by #15 CU in 2001 was special.
