I shudder to think what would happen if we went to war with China and were actually defending our homeland.
Vomiting in Practice
- Thread starter Pennsyhusker
- Start date
A scenario such as that has already been war gamed out.
None of us look forward to that possibility, yet, defending your actual home, family and way of life would bring out the very best in many, many men and women.
Without personally knowing just a handful of guys on this board, I can say with full confidence, guys like Dragonraider, Redinwashington, Nikki, and many others with a military background could be formidable, despite some of our advancing in age.
As young men, we took an oath that has no expiration date. We did not go looking for a fight in the 70's, 80, 90's, etc., but to protect our OWN land would be the only hill to die on. We have no place else to go.
Folks can riot and pilfer in my town, down the street, across the street, but when they step on my property or try to enter, out of necessity it will be game on. We did not live our entire lifetimes building our legacy to come out with Kool-Aid colored hair and nose rings...at least I didn't.
If and when the ptb decide to make a play to take away our 2nd Amendment rights, I would love to see the response of some of them "good ole boys" in the hills of Kentucky and Tennessee react.
Sorry for getting sidetracked.
Probably looking at where the comment falls in the agreed upon 2022 season metrics.
I don't give a shit how many times they puke as long as they win
Any competent CEO - heck even crappy ones know that when speaking it isn’t about what you say it is about what others hear
Frosts comments have been picked up nationally - there was even a column on the golf digest website - and with the huskers visiting Ireland the story has been run in the UK - each column reviews Frosts incompetence as a coach citing his record - something that I would think he would take great pains to avoid highlighting - as well as citing the idiocy of his comments
worse yet - they paint Raiola (someone just starting in coaching) as incompetent along with the strength and conditioning team and the “best in class” athletic performance center.
you have a former player on the national title teams with a medical degree stating how stupid the comments were stating they never had players puking at practice
you have long time NFL lineman stating in 10+ years he hasn’t witness a total of 15 times a player has puked in practice in his entire career
you have a current players mom attempt to come to the rescue stating that puking as a result of working out is the body’s way of getting rid of things it doesn’t need - an extremely ill informed view
all Frost had to say was the oline is working extremely hard and he is super happy with Raiola’s performance rather than further opening his mouth and potentially torpedoing the guys career
But alas Scott Frost is going to Scott Frost
I wonder if all the assistants are meeting with him and instructing him that in the future keep their names and position groups out of his mouth

That 4th string LT doesn't enjoy the vomiting nearly as much as the top 2 units.
The original is the best, of course
I don't see how that's obvious at all. In fact, the fundamental issues we see year after year is more indicative that they don't do enough group work, either that or the group work they do is highly unproductive.
In the event the 'skers find a way to lose in Ireland, not only will Frost and the Huskers be the laughingstock of college football in the USA, they will have become an international punch line as well. The jokes will be enough to make us puke.
Frost best hope the fcdk NU wins, cause he is becoming way too well known as a source for foot-in-mouth, comments that continually bite him in the ass, and a loss overseas that will follow him all season.
Probably the best, and only way, for Alberts to get Frost to shut his trap and think before speaking is to suspend him next week.
Name Whipple interim head coach during Frost's one week suspension.
Causing what may be a distraction to the team before the first real snap of the season is a great way to distract from what may have been a real productive fall camp.
If there was ever a case for an AD to make a power move in getting rid of a coach, national perception now provides it.
I'm saying this with the realization it will never happen. But, when is enough Scott Frost enough?
I still love how she blasted Nebraska as absolutely sucking...complete with a huge list of stats on D-linemen from Nebraska not succeeding compared to other schools. But as soon as Nebraska upped their $ bid and her son accepted, she acted as if she never said that LOL.
Do you wear a mask while you drive?
I’m sorry, but you are running this into the ground and then some, don’t ya think?
Time to let this go…
Use the ignore button keil. I may make this a weekly topic. LOL
BTW, I don't like Chevy Chase either.
Don''t be afraid to post what you think, Pennsy
I, for one, am 100% behind any strategy to make the lines mort physically dominant. It was disgraceful a few years back to hear our coaches make comments about how the Hawkeye practices must be brutal. These kids are tough. We have heard of zero medical issues. Let’s trust the staff here.
Your clips are awesome.
Do you actually ever have an original thought of your own or do you need to borrow your creativity?
Probably still similar. Probably began the transition during the Clinton, "don't ask, don't tell," era.
thanks for the link, but it didn't really help Scott's cause.. he even paused before saying the number.. I'm just kind of left shaking my head
Having spent a year in Asia, (not China, but SE Asia in general) I can say that these people, if pressed into war, will fight without a second thought of sacrificing themselves for the greater good. That is the way their culture is sort of setup to begin with.
You won't see that kind of dedication out of a western society, where the individual is more important than the group.
That said, China would not stand a chance against us militarily and we wouldn't need to put any boots on their soil either.
Listen, your distain for Scott Frost has been made known, over, and over, and over. We get it, you do not like him as Nebraska’s head coach, and you wish for him to be fired. You normally have some good write ups, and I appreciate you taking the time to post them. But the last 48 hours of your regurgitation of how you dislike the head coach and your hopes for him to be let go, especially if he loses to Northwestern right out the gate, is tiresome.
And continuing to ground this “puking scandal” into the ground is tiring, especially when no player is complaining and no player ended up getting injured or taken to the Hospital (thankfully) over this hyperbole.
Is this original enough for you?
First of all, when you use the word "regurgitation", you feed into the topic. Best case for you is just put me on Ignore, no big deal.
I did NOT say Frost should be fired if he loses to Northwestern, I said Alberts should suspend him for the opener as a method of reeling in Scott's dumbass comment(s).
Please help me understand that I'm the only one advocating for Frost to get fired? I join a long list of those who would agree.
So will I, or anyone else play a viable part in Frost being fired, of course not? It does appear its unanimous around the country that he is incompetent, based on record.
By the way, try not to expand on what I "actually" write, okay? You have no basis for saying that I've written Frost be let go for a loss to Northwestern as "tiresome." I said it ONE time last night. Most of us are big boys and can consume a comment more than once.
There are 3 different threads about the Puke incident, none of them originating from me, so as you've indicated, I do share my opinions on a lot of topics, and since this is an opinion forum, I'll continue to do so, and of course, some will agree, others will not.
Between Open Threads/Husker Board, there are probably 75% of thread topics that I don't read because I have no interest even though a lot of members do.
Since us fans are soon to be treated to some actual football, I'd rather not get into a pissing contest on what I post. There are many guys on here who I enjoy reading. This room, and the Open Board have some smart, talented people, many of them with expertise in a lot of areas that surpass me.
If I didn't like what they wrote, or felt they were redundant, or carrying on unneccessarily, I simply would not read what they write, or I tend to make liberal use of the Ignore button.
I do appreciate you posting your "original" thoughts to me. I do. I think we have arrived at an agreement that's easy enough to abide by. Yet, if I feel as though I will post on the vomit issue again, I will do so. As a very long time NU fan, it has pained me for decades the amount of disrespect this program has endured due to low quality head coaches and other factors.
There was a day when us fans were connected to the program and there was a huge respect factor that had been earned for decades. Now, we get Frost with an ill-advised comment shining a negative light on the program again.
I posted the Huskers could go 10-2 this year, yes, a very long shot based on recent history, but love, (or pick an adjective), springs eternal. Maybe one year NU will have the ball bounce right and we can have a fun, successful season.
Thanks for your response keil. Peace out.

Went to a practice earlier this month. Yes, there are guys throwing up. Not 15-20, but Raiola does work these guys very hard. They are also very physical up front in the run game. Just need some work in pass protection.
I hope you're right, but if we continue to run woke recruitment ads while Chinese and Russian ads are testosterone fueled gems which attract men who are attracted to being pushed to their limits in defense of their country, we won't have a superior fighting force for long. Combine that with an administration that will leave billions of our military equipment to the enemy in a country we wasted 20 years of talent and treasure in and about a million other things, we be in trouble.
Of course we're destroying ourselves from within so all our enemies have to do is sit back and wait.
That was the point I was trying to make. And it's telling that an offensive minded coach would lament the fact that his linemen were a little fatigued for the 11 on 11 work that he values so much.
"We won't have a superior fighting force for long" due apparently to "woke recruitment ads"? LOL.
He's been here 4 full years and I think made in the area of 20MIL for 15 wins, give or take a rounding error in his contract.
I'm all for anyone making as much dough as their company or organization is willing to pay them.
Results matter though.
