Why We Don't Like Scott Frost's Mom

Submitted by ypsituckyboy on

I feel bad saying we hate someone's mom, so I'll just take it down one notch. So, in addition to disliking Scott Frost, we also dislike his mother, former Olympian Carol Frost. Back in the day, Carol took it upon herself to write a pretty awesome letter to the staff over at The Wolverine for reasons beyond me as I'm a young pup. I'll let some of the older posters who know more of the history fill in those blanks, but I'll post the letter here because it's pretty funny:

To: Chris, John, Michael, Matt, and Josh

From: Scott's Mom

Re: Nebraska Cornhuskers 32 -- Michigan Wolverwhines 28

Thank you for reminding me which National Championship my Scotty won for Nebraska in the 1990's. At my age, 60, I get mixed up occasionally on which one of the three National Championships my Scotty won for Nebraska in the 1990's (It's hard for me to remember because they win them so often.)

Sometimes I find myself feeling sorry for the Wolverwhines who only win National Championships in Football every 50 years or so. I guess I didn't get so hung up on the National title that Nebraska won in 1997 because they won 3 in a four year span in the 1990's and 5 in a twenty-eight year span between 1970 and 1997. I remember the first one they one in 1970 because I graduated from Nebraska in 1966. I guess if we only won the National title every 50 years, I would have been upset, too, when Nebraska and my Scotty stole the show from the Wolverwhines in the 1990's.

By the way, Scotty sends his best. He's retired from the NFL now after 5 years. I think he said he was making about $346,000.00 a year while in the Pros, which is probably more than all of you poor misled Wolverwhines make in a year combined.

Sorry to hear that the Wolverwhines lost to the Cornhuskers in the Alamo bowl. Hope poor Lloyd doesn't lose his job. Seems like a lot of teams we beat this year lost their coaches. The maze, black, and blue will have other years. I expect you'll win another National Championship in Football around the year 2046. Hope you all find enough to write about between now and then.

Best Regards,

Carol Frost

1968 Olympian, Mexico City

I moved it to the diaries - that seemed like a better place for it, as it was a pretty good breakdown of Frost's comments and rather well-researched, I thought. 

I think people get so used to just posting here that they forget that the Diary section exists honestly. It's a highly underrated section and could use content like what Bursley Hall posted.

I would be interested to know that myself - the decision is usually an editorial one. The problem with leaving everything on the board is that while the good stuff will get a lot of reads up front, it can get buried very quickly. The Diary section is a way to preserve the better stuff even if the rate is overall much slower. Many diaries get about the same number of reads as the better threads, in my experience, so over time, it's a wash in many cases.

How's Nebraska doing now?

They have Howdy Doody as their head coach and can't make bowl game unless they run out of teams to put in bowl games.
