The Corn Nation guy's take
November 12th, 2022 at 9:21 PM ^
Just think: we were in his shoes once.
November 12th, 2022 at 9:34 PM ^
I have empathy for his bpone
November 12th, 2022 at 9:40 PM ^
Fuck, I wrote this same stuff in HTTV once.
November 12th, 2022 at 10:42 PM ^
We never had it as bad as Nebraska. Nobody has it as bad as a Nebraska fan.
November 12th, 2022 at 11:57 PM ^
Well, there was a time when we were giving out football tickets to people who bought two Cokes...
...and had games like this to watch:
(And this was a game we won!)
November 13th, 2022 at 1:12 AM ^
Just us Lions fans...sigh...
November 13th, 2022 at 1:17 AM ^
Your sure about that?
RR selling his soul to the devil to get Pryor to come here was pretty damn nationally embarrassing.
November 13th, 2022 at 10:15 AM ^
We never had it as bad as Nebraska. Nobody has it as bad as a Nebraska fan.
I wouldn't say nobody has it as bad as a Nebraska fan (*cough*Rutger*cough*), but Nebraska right now is like if 2008 kept happening to us over and over again.
Last 5 years of Nebraska:
2017 4-8
2018 4-8
2019 5-7
2020 3-5
2021 3-9
Right now they have 3 wins with 2 games left. You're definitely right when you say, "we never had it as bad as Nebraska."
November 13th, 2022 at 1:48 PM ^
Rutgers fans don't expect to be good though.
What makes Nebraska fandom the most miserable fandom in cfb is you can remember a time when they were good and you have hope.
November 12th, 2022 at 9:21 PM ^
10-0, top 3: we have come a long way!
November 12th, 2022 at 11:02 PM ^
I feel this was not the takeaway from this video.
November 12th, 2022 at 11:42 PM ^
Twenty some-odd people disagree, but to be charitable, they may not have watched the video in its entirety. As a guy who had a heart attack two months ago, though, I could relate.
November 13th, 2022 at 9:02 AM ^
The very human message in his video was amazing. BUT... did anyone else feel it was a bit, I dunno, creepy or out of place? You know, "time and place" sort of thing. Or comparing two things that just don't belong together. His channel is about a freakin' college football team. Not life-and-death. I mean, this isn't the effing SEC....
November 13th, 2022 at 11:45 AM ^
Could be. But the thing about fandom is that you share it.
November 12th, 2022 at 9:25 PM ^
well dang, came for the fire and wit.
...now I feel a little bad and sadly can relate.
Good dude.
November 12th, 2022 at 9:29 PM ^
What in the hell did I watch.
November 12th, 2022 at 9:34 PM ^
Bpone
Depression

A majestic mane of silver hair.

Willie Nelson on mushrooms

He was funnier last year, when his faith in Frost (and Adrian Martinez) was slowly slipping away but he hadn't reached the full BPONE.
November 12th, 2022 at 9:35 PM ^
"Outlasts" is an interesting choice of words
November 12th, 2022 at 9:38 PM ^
He says it's a joke at the beginning of the video.
Gotta cope somehow
November 12th, 2022 at 9:47 PM ^
True, he also goes onto say "We had the ball rolling until..." and detailed how Purdy got injured. In reality, there were other teams we played against that had the ball rolling against us this year as well and it lasted exactly one half only thankfully.
EDIT: Admittedly I didn't know really anything about this guy and his historically jaded humor about Nebraska so I made the mistake of taking his words at face value. He is pretty funny and it's disparaging to hear about his health issue battles.
WELP.. now I just feel bad.
November 13th, 2022 at 11:48 AM ^
How many of these games have followed precisely the same script? It's crazy. They all seem scary in the first half, because a ball control game--combined against their best scripted plays and line energy--is only going to yield so many points. Then we roll the backhoe out again and plow them under.
November 12th, 2022 at 9:35 PM ^
Yeah I posted a comment on that video. I watch a bit of their material. They are good people. That look on his face was just like ours during the RR and Hoke days.
November 12th, 2022 at 11:13 PM ^
What days? I can’t hear (read) you!
November 12th, 2022 at 9:37 PM ^
Well I wasn't expecting to tear up watching that but here I am.
Fuck cancer and heart attacks and brain injuries and party on Jon Johnston.
November 12th, 2022 at 9:38 PM ^
This guy looks like what I'd expect a Cornhusker fan to look like.
November 12th, 2022 at 9:38 PM ^
I feel for this guy. Very sorry that he’s had to deal with those health issues. Given that he‘s had a heart attack and a traumatic brain issue I don’t know why he would want the agita of watching this ugly Nebraska season. He could do without all of the anxiety and pressure. I guess the blame for this rests squarely on Scott Frost and his mom for putting this poor fella under the gun. He deserves better.
November 12th, 2022 at 9:44 PM ^
They need to hire a HC that was once a beloved former player who then became a red hot head coach….what’s Scott Frost up to? He seems like a home run hire.
November 12th, 2022 at 9:48 PM ^
I read an interesting fact earlier this week. Since the 2017 season, every single P5 team has been bowl eligible at least once except two:
Kansas, who finally became bowl eligible this season last week. Aaaaand…
Nebraska.
With this loss today, Nebraska is not eligible for the post season. They are now currently the only P5 team to not be bowl eligible since 2017 (5 years!!!).
November 12th, 2022 at 11:27 PM ^
maybe if they played in an easier div--
shoooooooot.
November 13th, 2022 at 10:02 PM ^
This is actually their SIXTH consecutive year not being bowl eligible.
November 12th, 2022 at 9:48 PM ^
Husker nation. You're not alone. Buck up boys and girls.
November 12th, 2022 at 10:00 PM ^
He is in the the murky depths of BPONE holding the hand of Henry the Otter
November 12th, 2022 at 10:01 PM ^
I mean, there weren't many hires that were more of a home run than Scott Frost to Nebraska. For that to fail as spectacularly as it did just had to be completely devastating for the Nebraska fanbase.
Could you imagine how devastating it would be if Jim Harbaugh went .500 over his first 4 years at Michigan? (For the record, Harbaugh was a more for sure of a successful hire than Frost) Fans here were disappointed in Harbaugh's first 4 years, and he was 38 and 16. Frost was 16 and 31!!!
November 12th, 2022 at 10:52 PM ^
Word on Frost at the time was "not ready for primetime." Nebraska ignored that conclusion and hired him into a big-time job anyway. Not surprised he failed. Dude wasn't ready. Compound that with some serious personality and (allegedly) substance abuse issues.
RGIII put it pretty well on the air today: Nebraska CAN still be a Destination Job.
November 13th, 2022 at 3:10 AM ^
Not sure about that. Kansas-level recruiting environment with Alabama-level level expectations.
November 13th, 2022 at 12:38 PM ^
I agree there are environmental and institutional limitations inherent to Nebraska that make it highly unlikely they will ever return to the heights of the Osborne or Devaney eras.
The CFB ground has shifted beneath them in ways that make it much more difficult for them to adapt to the current CFB era than a place like Michigan.
November 12th, 2022 at 10:52 PM ^
Double post
November 12th, 2022 at 10:59 PM ^
I mean, Frost built UCF into a monster. He looked like a can’t miss coach. I think Nebraska’s problem is way deeper and more structural than it appeared.
November 12th, 2022 at 11:18 PM ^
Frost was only at UCF two years. The coach before him (O'Leary) was successful until team chemistry got shot to hell in 2015 and the team quit on him. Frost just basically got the talented players he inherited to care again.
You can't compare that to Harbaugh winning at three different jobs (including the NFL) before he came here.
November 12th, 2022 at 10:10 PM ^
That was a refreshing dose of humanity and I completely empathize with him. I'm certainly rooting a little bit for Nebraska now that Frost is gone. Feel fortunate that we somehow turned the program around after Rutgers 2020. Could have been us...again
November 12th, 2022 at 10:14 PM ^
Not as funny as he used to be. Guess he is tired and tired of losing. Buzzkill.
November 12th, 2022 at 10:27 PM ^
If the Cornhuskers never win another game...no skin off my nose. Didn't like them back in the day, will never like them. Don't think they even belong in our conference. Think other than Minnesota I prefer every team in the West over Nebraska.
November 12th, 2022 at 11:06 PM ^
Fuck Purdue and their bullshit excuse for medical facilities.
November 12th, 2022 at 10:28 PM ^
He looks like Frank Gallagher from Shameless.
November 12th, 2022 at 11:01 PM ^
He must have quit watching early because he said the score was 31-3. Maybe he just wanted Nebraska to cover the spread.
November 12th, 2022 at 11:07 PM ^
I’m stunned how long it took someone to comment on that.
That’s real bpone…didn’t even wait until the end of game to broadcast his sad.
