Im not sure anyone is as bad as Rutgers, but unfortunately we don't play them this year.
Boilers open up a 3 point favorite
- Thread starter scarletred
- Start date
Until Frost says to media that “Purdue is a game we should win” and Purdue players have started using it as bulletin board material.
Bulletin board material no less. Says there that Brohm is saying “what’s said is heard”. Just countering that the chance Purdue is in a trap game or will be sleep walking probably left the building once this was brought up in the locker room.
You you didn't just take what he said out of context, you completely misquoted him.
I am not in any way criticizing Frost for those comments but opposing teams and coaches are going to bend over backwards to twist any comments an opposing teams coach makes to use for their purposes. It doesn’t matter what was actually said or meant - it only matters what an opposing coach can convince his team was said or meant.

Here is my view: Scott Frost is our last best hope to save this program from oblivion. We are on a fast track to becoming like Kansas. So we had better rally around this guy and give him the time he needs, or we are most likely just ****ed.
Permanent Kansas or Minnesota is staring us right between the eyes. HCSF is almost certainly our last real hope.
I too grew up in Lincoln and was spoiled rotten with years & years seeing Devaney & TO steamroll opponents into dust. Great HCs simply don't grow on trees and especially after the previous Beaver coaching our smash-mouth tradition was then finally totally & completely erased.
There's no easy way to return & we're damned lucky to have a decent chance.
I agree with this except the Kansas and Minnesota part.Im glad you didn't say Hawkeye. That's right... they've never won anything.
In a perfect world your team shouldn't need "bulletin board" material to try harder. I would expect them to give max effort regardless.
That is true - but the reality is that NFL teams assign people the job of finding bulletin board material for each upcoming game. Part of the reason Belichick goes to great lengths to say nothing.

Rondale Moore. Every team should get one.
Wandale Robinson would be nice. Getting Moore to flip from Texas was a huge recruiting win for Brohm. We need some of those.
We are beneath Purdue........PURDUE. WHAT THE F????
We should have never fired BO. DAMN IT!!!! Maybe god is punishing us because we are so entitled and we need to be humbled by being the worst team in the big ten for the next couple of decades.
It’s embarrasing when we talk about winning shit 30 years ago. This country is about PROGRESS. Not getting worse every year

I agree Frost is probably the last hope to get Nebraska to winning conference championships and playing to national titles, but Nebraska will never permanently be Minnesota or Kansas. I think Frost is the right guy in the fact that if he doesn’t win 10+ games every year, he won’t get kicked out of office in 4-5 years. Consistency at the helm is what will keep Nebraska from permanently being Kansas or Minnesota.
Why would we care what a nobody iowa fan thinks about Nebraska football? Frost is our last hope? That's just stupidaf. There are plenty of good coaches who would love to lead NU for $5mil a year. You better stick to what you know, whatever that is. mustabeentheshoes
He's actually a pretty decent poster.
Don't be fooled, he's been in ass-kissin mode for a while now. The fact is he's a nobody iowa loudmouth who doesn't know the first thing about Nebraska football, yet he constantly runs his mouth on a Husker board. If you want to listen to his bs, that's up to you. I won't.
That's fine, I just sort of know his posting history, and even when I visit their board he is not over the top. I don't mind him
Again with the big program from when I was 17 years old elitism ... what Brohm is building would not have been an underdog to Pelini by 2020 ...
So long as Brohm stays, and I doubt the LSUs of the world are going to try to steal him after the 1-3 start... Nebraska will only be where he is in 24 months if they do everything RIGHT.. no better.
I do view this Nebraska team as a beaten down dangerous dog if they don’t fold
Based on what? By 2020, Purdue will be better than a 10 win team? Nebraska has to do everything right to be where Purdue is in 24 months, WTH? Based on what exactly? Recruiting? Your great start to the 2018 season?

I don’t think Nebraska is a ten win team by 2020 if they do everything right. Both teams would be doing well to get 9 wins by then. Remember.. in year one with Brohm we were much much
More competitive with Michigan than you just were .. and the team you have in year two .. just like us, will be younger with seniors and juniors that are worse than these ones

Ok, that's your opinion, you can have it. But you said in 2020 Purdue would not be an underdog to a Pelini team and Pelini's teams at Nebraska were consistent 9-10 win teams, so you obviously think you are going to be better than that. Or maybe you meant a Pelini Youngstown State team. And Nebraska can't be a 10 win team by 2020, but Purdue will? How do you know enough to say that? We are bad now, but had 8 4-star recruits last year and our HC has done it before. Kind of hard to understand how 1-3 Purdue with a second year head coach, can be so far ahead of 0-3 Nebraska with a first year head coach. Is it last years #49 recruiting class (we were 21)? Do you think this years Purdue team has made alot of progress, since going 7-6 last year?
There are two posters here that have an extreme hatred for anything with the word Hawk in it and SOHusker is one of them. It’s to be expected and I’m ok with it. As with most fan bases, the majority of fans are ones you can have a conversation with.
As to where the conversation went after my post, I’m sorry Boiler but Purdue probably won’t be anywhere near Nebraska in 2020. Brohm will more than likely leave by then but Frost isn’t going anywhere.
I liked his post not because I thought he was saying that was exactly what he thought Frost had said but because his "paraphrasing" would definitely give them bulletin board material. That said, IMO I believe Frost could be just a little more judicious with his choice of words publicly. I don't care if he tells his players that Purdue is dog doo and that we better kick the crap out of them but publicly he should probably toe a different line. He's still pretty new to the media manipulation game.
Not trying to come off as arrogant, but I follow pretty close with both programs. I don't think Purdue has made a lot of progress since last year. I know that sounds insane, but Brohm lost 9 starters on defense and 3 on offense. We were bound to start slow and get better as the year gets on. We aren't going to be world beaters this year, but the defense is mostly underclassman and both O and D are getting some really nice recruits coming in next year. So yes, my progress is looking at how far this team has come in 4 weeks knowing we are building the base of the team.
