This part seriously made me laugh. Devaney's gotta be rolling over in his grave given how soft Nebraska football has become.
This year? Next year? Year 5?
We keep waiting for the big fight after school that Nebby never shows up for.
Is this how Nebby fans cope with your dumpster fire?
They show up. They just end up face down in the mud after about 10 seconds.
Yep, all brought on by egotistical, history mongering nebby fans.
Funny, I could've sworn that it was brought on by getting butt hurt over an article..
As long as Nebby continues to fold to the tune of 30+ point losses to us, there's no butthurt here. You guys just keep being you. Please.
Hi. So you just joined "the Iowa Board" as a Nebraska fan. This is your first post. What is Frost going to do? What are your expectations? Conference Champions Year 1? 2? 3? National Champions Year 5? Tell us.
I mean, one of the most efficient qbs in the nation would be a good start
The only error was saying he modeled Wisconsin after Osborne's program instead of Devaney's. It's prettty simple, it's 1990 and Barry is just hired, does he model his program after the winningest program in college football over the previous 30 years (which is also his alma mater), or after one of the programs where he was an assistant that had averaged 7.4 wins a year under Fry. Wow that's a tough decision?
I love smack talk because hidden in it is a high level of fear.
The most truthful statement in this whole thread. Of course we all know where the fear is coming from, and its west of Council Bluffs.....
Completely agree. I see us being up by 40-60 points again late in the 3rd quarter. The only interest in the game this year will be if Ferentz decides to back off again for the 4th straight year. Or will he say screw it beat Neb by 90?!
Can’t wait
If I feared an opponent I would go hang out on their message board and make smart a$$ remarks.
I read the article and came away thinking that Frost knows exactly what he is doing. He is organized and energetic, which are both vitally important in this day and age. I think it will be a few years before he gets it turned around in Lincoln but it won't be long. As long as he loses to Iowa every year...
No, there are stories that I've read that prior to Barry taking the Wisconsin job when visiting their campus, etc., he noted the lack of student/general fan interest causing him to comment that Iowa (even in down years) generated good fan interest and played a tough physical brand of football. I don't expect you to understand/know B10 history, so I'll cut you a break. While Frost will likely do better than smiling Mike Riley, I'll expect an average of 7.4 wins after a couple of rougher years.
Careful - you might get called a closet Nebraska fan ;-). All the folks on here suggesting Frost is going to suck and the current Hawkeye dominance is going to remain forever are showing serious judgement flaws. I think Frost will take Nebraska a step further than Pelini. Ferentz has stepped up recruiting and has the best development in the country. In a couple years, I expect more back and forth contests than the cakewalk Riley gave us (and everyone else in the conference) the last few years.
Nile Kinnick spent nearly his entire life in Iowa. He lived in Omaha for only one year.
When you're a dumpster fire...ya gotta grab on to something....anything....oh the humanity.
Nebby being who they are... which is basically Peaked in High School Rob Lowe.
Holy crap 3 pages on an si article about Nebraska. This was an article about Nebraska not Iowa, not sure why you guys feel slighted for not getting a mention. Enjoy the beatings you’ve handed us over the years and I for one hope this hire gets us closer to competing for division titles and make the final game of the season something to look forward to again.
^ ^ ^Yes, hilarious frost and SI are pushing the narrative that Barry A came from the rich coaching tree of Tom Osborn's. As said, Barry played linebacker while Osborn was an offensive assistant, but then spent 8 years as Hayden Fry's assistant, starting when he arrived and rebuilt Iowa into a power from scratch after 2 decades in the desert.
Sure Barry rebuilt Wisconsin from what he learned in Lincoln, and not what he learned from Fry in IC. Sure he did. Just like Frost learned everything he knows about coaching and turning CMF into champions from playing under Osborn. That Kelly guy in Oregon had nothing to do with it.
These are the correct facts ~ Coach Frost is attempting to "re-write" history.
Nebraska has definitely been a dumpster fire for the last 15 years. Now on their 4th coach since Osborne, they've been way down from the prior 4 decades and only went 122-72 over that time frame. Iowa with its superior coaching staff and program stability went 121-71 over the same period. Nebraska and Iowa have won the same number of conference championships since Nebraska joined the BIG - 0 each. I don't think either program has much to brag about in recent history. Nebraska is still the winningest program in college football over the past 50 years but they'll begin falling down that list soon if Frost doesn't turn things around. We can talk all we want but the proof will be on the field over the next 5 years.
As has been well documented in other IA/NE posts...over the timeframe u selected (last 15 years), Iowas’s “highs” have been higher than Nebby, while a couple of Iowa’s “lows” have been lower than Nebby, hence overall record similar. However, in say, the last 3 to 5 years I would think Iowa’s record has been better. Also, in head to head match-ups Iowa has looked & played so much better than Nebby.
...and yet here you are on the IoWa board...the Irony.
I'm surprised you have the time to post here @H8FULLGR8...with your 6 pizza huts and 2 fine eateries that you allegedly own AND being a former SAC commander?
Wow.
I haven't seen him walk on water yet, but I hear there is video. If he can secure the 21st class in the nation in 2 months, while working part-time in Lincoln, I'm pretty sure he can almost always secure a Top 25 class when he and his staff are working full-time.
I'm pretty sure MI has a couple better in state players than braska does each year
Also pretty sure they already "out recruit" wiscy, lot of good that has done......
Gosh, you're still not aware that Mike Riley is no longer in town??? Read much?
Was playing a bit of football trivia with mostly Husker/Hawk fans last night. There was some debate on how many Titles Nebraska won without a convicted criminal on the roster. I'm pretty sure it's zero?
In 2 years, we win the West. It may take a while to win the conference though. But make no mistake, Mike Riley isn't coaching any more, and if you aren't nervous about Frost being in Lincoln, you're just not very bright.
That's no surprise. I doubt there is any team that has won a national title that didn't have a convicted criminal on their roster.
How are the VHS tapes holding out husked duh? Get them converted to high yech DVD yet?
