Scott Frost lays down a salvo....
...and so the Frost era at Nebraska begins. I hope he brings better ammunition to his next comments about Michigan.

I also could be wrong on the nothing interesting within 500 miles claim. If you head a couple hours West on I80 you run into this across the freeway near Kearney http://archway.org/
It is interesting in a what the hell is this doing here kind of way.

Best part of Nebraska is the Sand Hills golf area...really unique and fun courses.
January 7th, 2018 at 5:25 PM ^
Nebraska, especially if seen only from Interstate 80, is a pretty boring state. The Sand Hills are not boring (also nearly completely unknown).

Frost has a big mouth and a "what about me complex". So he thinks they outhit Michigan? 51-14 baby...read it and weep.
Central Florida was a cute story this year but they will fade back to anonymity quickly....
January 7th, 2018 at 1:03 PM ^
way to deal with peeps poppin' off in the media is to go beat them on the field. Frost seems intent on making his public position right up there next to Corntonio.
I guess its good to get a few headlines when you're a new head coach in a new location so recruits at least know who you are 8-) Its going to be a trick to get some of those Central Florida recruits to come to Lincoln and play for 4 years.
Maybe we should unleash rabid Devin Bush on them in the fall...
January 7th, 2018 at 1:08 PM ^
Frosty is just jelly about us going undefeated the same year he did. He doesn't like sharing.

Well, I think a strong Wake Forest program is good for college football. I also think a strong New Mexico State program is good for college football. So, there.

Harbaugh's response should be:
We are proud to have #NFLPlayoff weather in Ann Arbor. #Patriots #Steelers#Eagles, etc.
Something Scott Frost would know nothing about with his 12 career #NFL tackles in 7 years.

but only because that's where the zombies are amassing before the final apocolyptic march on humanity. and everyone has hepatitis. twice.
(st3, you have really grown into this recruiting job. major kudos to you)

back in '86 a buddy of mine was getting out of the Navy and flew me to Reno to help him drive his car back to Michigan.
We drove mostly on the I-80 and one early morning while it was still dark, we were still in Wyoming and I had to take a shit and made my bud stop while I ran into the woods and did the deed, many hours later as we were driving through ultra-boring Nebraska, my buddy looked at me and said "hey Mick, you should have shit on Nebraska"
I agreed with him!!!
January 7th, 2018 at 1:29 PM ^
Ignore him. Take care of business on the field
2018!

wait, people are upset because he said Nebraska is a little warmer than Michigan?
/shrugs
meh
January 8th, 2018 at 9:23 AM ^
Pretty much my reaction too.
But to be fair, it's a sports board and if every perceived slight or joke didn't receive its own post for everyone to show their outrage this place would be pretty dead for about 8 months a year.

That they won't play all their games in Lincoln?? Moron.

"There's no reason kids should want to go to Ann Arbor and not Lincoln. It's colder there," Frost told reporters.
Typically speaking, that's not true, and beside, we're far better at outhitting the weather here.
That, and at least Ann Arbor has access to a major metropolitan area. Lincoln has corn....maybe some wheat here and there. Mostly corn though.

I went to college in Ann Arbor and took a job for one year in Nebraska and traveled frequently to Lincoln. To even compare the two is laughable. The ONE college town that I would say rivals Ann Arbor is Madison, that is a nice place and the lakes add a unique setting but we all know which college town reigns over the B1G SCOTT.
January 7th, 2018 at 3:07 PM ^
next year for Michigan. In addition to AT Notre Dame, AT Michigan State, and AT Ohio State, their non-division opponents include Nebraska, AT Northwestern, and Wisconsin. Michigan may have trouble making a bowl game based on their bowl performance.

Is he already claiming that Nebraska has the No. 1-rated recruiting class this year?
January 7th, 2018 at 3:39 PM ^
Frost may get a bigger bump in recruiting than Harbaugh did when he took over 2015. I thought we would get a lot of the late kids who decided but we ended up not doing well with the 2015 class. I don't count the 2015 class as Harbuagh's first class anyways. But Frost may end up doing well raising NE 2018 class.

Out there claiming to win championships he didn't win, making up facts about weather...
I have a feeling this guy is going to catapult to the top of the list as far as most annoying B1G head coaches once he's out there on the sidelines in Lincoln.
Can you imagine a more loathesome crew than the group we'll have out there in the conference next year? Fleck, Dantonio, Meyer, Frost, Fitz, Franklin... These freaking guys.
January 7th, 2018 at 4:18 PM ^
January 7th, 2018 at 4:20 PM ^
I'm sorry, did they win the playoff (a system they're willingly a part of) while I wasn't looking?
Sure, criticize the system. But begging for a championship you didn't win is, well, very Scott Frost.
January 7th, 2018 at 4:31 PM ^
January 7th, 2018 at 4:45 PM ^
Bringing up anything related to Harbaugh is an easy way to keep Frost's name out there.
