This is absolutely fantastic! To God be the glory!!!
I'm not one to usually support a particular religious view, but that's a great video in so many ways. I really like the message of putting other people first and not only how that builds a great team, but how it strengthens you and others when times are rough. Getting out of selfish type of thinking can and will change your life for the better. It's a great message. Scott's the right person for the job.
So as an agnostic can I still be a Scott Frost fan? Asking for a friend, don't @ me
University of Nebraska - Jesus
Jk.. You don't have to be indoctrinated into a religion to be a good player/teammate/coach.
Obviously we are all entitled to opinions, but I require peer-reviewed evidence before I can accept a claim that it requires 'God' to be good.

Thanks for sharing that. Sounds like he learned a lot from Osborne.
Jesus is the Rock the foundation of SF's faith. Wow, we are in SUPER good hands. Thanks for posting this video. It gives us a whole new perspective of where our coach is.
When Brook B died in the plane accident Scott said that is when he knew he had to strengthen his commitment to his faith. He said that was a major turning point in his spiritual walk.
...hmmm so you're not really sure if you can, and not really sure if you can't...
"and hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us."

To each one’s own, I always say. At the same time, I also wonder how these opinions will represent Nebraska. Don’t get me wrong, I will celebrate if/when Frost accepts the Nebraska HC job.
Having lived out of state for the past 7 years, I often get the impression Nebraska is seen as an isolated, extremely religious area. Almost like Alabama or Mississippi. Many people think Nebraska is in “the south.” And that may be due more to their lack of knowledge with geography.
All I know is religion played nary a role in my upbringing in NE. Again, to each one’s own...
About ten years ago there was a feature on ESPN (I think) about UCLA basketball and the Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA). At the time, it sounded like you were either "all in" with the FCA, or you weren't a UCLA basketball player.
I grew up in a religious household, and I have seen the kind of positive impact religion can have on a person's life. However, as Nebraska is a state university that should never have an official religious affiliation, I don't want recruits or athletes feeling excluded if they choose not to participate in FCA. Ameer Abdullah, one of our best athletes in recent years, was a devout Muslim. I'm fine, for example, with the players gathering in a circle to do a quick prayer before games. I'm not okay with it causing cliques, rifts, or division within the team.

Outside of atheltics, it also causes genocide, persecution, wars, etc. Bummer.
Depends on the religion. You cannot lump them all into the same bowl
The video was from when Scott was in Eugene, Oregon - one of the most liberal places in the country. Didn't seem to cause any issues with that team. Nor does it seem like there are any issues at UCF now.
Religions are all in the same bowl, especially if one is not religious. Ultimately, religion had been the backbone of virtually every war. If not every war. Perhaps not solely in the name of religion, a la, the crucades, but almost every instigator or actor has been proven to have acted upon his/her religious beliefs.
Think about it for a bit.
I am a Christian and I believe what you said is true and should be true.
If you’ll stop and think about it, yes, it was. Sorry.
Peoples’ religious affliations and disagreements have been the cause of wars since the beginning of humanity. Sure, some may say said war was due to imperialism. Deep down, we all know the imperialists just didn’t like the way or what another population believed. See Iraq, for example.
All religion is predicated on truth claims, not subjective motivations based on expediency...such as the Spanish American war.

One of the worst, most immoral people, I have ever worked with was a religious guy who managed to talk about his church in every conversation. He only hired people from his church. He had ten kids who were all home schooled by his wife, who was not allowed to drive a car. He also would lie right to your face, and when you showed a printout with definitive proof he was lying, he'd say "are you calling me a liar?" and threaten to fire you. I've never known a more underhanded snake in the grass, dirty, lying, unethical sumbich in my entire life.
So having religion, or God, in your life doesn't make you a good person. My wife has never set foot in a church in her life, and doesn't pray, and yet she is one of the most generous, kind, ethical people I have ever met. Too much, sometimes. I swear she was the hall monitor in school and never gave up the sash.
This is EXACTLY what Nebraska has been missing since TO. Putting others above oneself.
Don't know if this was to turn into religion is good or bad conversation. Just to point out what a committed guy he is to things in his life. God just happens to be one of those things. Also about putting others first. Which is what our team needs to do and hasn't .
You are reaching. You cannot actually factually prove anything you've stated. You really are going on gut feeling.
There weren't enough resources in Germany for the East India Trading Company to make money off of and coerce the British Crown and government to subjugate them for.
India however had a ton of resources and little resistance so its expedient to go after them and not Germany. People had prejudices and supremacist views based on the way God made others look, but going after India say was a very calculated move.
Great Britain would have subjugated India if those people were white. The differences really didn't matter as much as the benefit from control of its resources.
Again religion wasn't the cause, resouces, or the love of resources, were. Just like what God's Word says, "for the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil".
All wars are not religion based, they are sin based.
Democide has killed 100s of millions more people than any religious sect has in our very brief history. And now there is a good portion of the world's population that wouldn't mind replacing God with the State. For the atrocities that are committed in the name of religion, I will always refuse to pin them on God and Jesus.
Good job hijacking this thread though.
A “gut feeling,” eh? Like, faith, for example? Ok, then. This is why I try not to have discussions about religion with anyone. Nevertheless, my contention is that religion has made the world evil. And starts wars. And killing.
It’s cool that you recently read a book about The War of 1812. Perhaps you are or were a history major. Good for you. If, however, you are not able to think in the abstract, there is nothing left I have to say.
Logic will never prevail with humanity, it seems. That’s why the US has an idiotic, self-proclaimed sexual predator/buffoon, whose hair looks like it fell out of an old oak tree from a squirrel’s nest, “running” our country. A sign of the times.
I really didn’t mean to hijack the thread. It just seems I have pissed off some of the people who believe that Kenny Loggins is our savior.
