VIDEO: Scott Frost campaigning for Nebraska to jump Michigan in final 1997 poll
Something I will never forgive or forget, and neither will any other Michigan fan who followed that season:

UPDATE: For those in the comments who say "what's the big deal; he was just pulling for his team"—no. The relentless badgering of the pollsters and the media was something that only Nebraska, not Michigan, did. Maybe in this BCS/playoff era we're now accustomed to that sort of electioneering. But in those days it was considered profoundly distasteful and unsportsmanlike. You did your talking on the field, and let the pollsters make up their minds. That was the majority ethos then.

getting nervous. Central Florida might replace them as a hated rival. Beat the Knights! All of them!!
September 5th, 2016 at 6:09 PM ^
Can we let both Knights teams combine and play them at once? Then we can have an extra by before an important game.

I was 12 at the time. I don't know that I will ever forgive this snub.
September 5th, 2016 at 6:03 PM ^
his Mom comes to the game.
September 5th, 2016 at 6:07 PM ^
The elephant in the room is...does Harbaugh view this as "a shot across the bow"? Cause if he does UCF can expect boot to the next treatment. If he doesn't then the second half will be a training exercise for us. Frost better hope for door #2.

Jim seems to have a pretty encyclopedic knowledge of football/sports history, and he doubtlessly knows the backgrounds of all the guys he coaches against. I think he'll make sure Frost leaves Ann Arbor bow-legged.
September 5th, 2016 at 6:07 PM ^
In my mind there was no split championship .
I have a few items that say Michigan was the National Champion. It doesnt say anything about Nebraska .
Fuck Scott Frost and his Mom and anyone else who says differently .

team or program that remember the Frosting Michigan took from Frost's politicizing the final vote.
So, I think stepping on the accelerator and not letting up till the game is done makes perfect sense with our coach's general outlook and this team's pursuit of enthusiasm for passion and glory uknown to mankind.

This is my first ever content post, so keep that in mind:
Who gives a fuck about Frost and why do we need fifteen threads about him and his mother? It just seems petty and small to even care about him, her, or nebraska; everyone knows we were the best team in college football that year.
September 5th, 2016 at 6:30 PM ^
is apparently the devil. And his Mom is the she-devil. Just get on board with it, jdon! Quit asking all your questions! Are you with us or not??!!?!

Because we need to manufacture some reason to hate on UCF for the next 4 days.

and Frost was a 22-ish year old kid when he campaigned just like Tom Osborne.
If Harbaugh sees this as a way to keep his team motivated, then fine. But I don't think we want to spend TOO much "revenge" attention on an 0-12 team from last year (albeit w/ a new coach).
Keep the focus on getting better and don't get distracted by the trolls.

I had endzone seating, maybe 40' from Duckett when he caught the winner. Havent been back to that shithole since.
September 5th, 2016 at 9:45 PM ^
September 5th, 2016 at 6:22 PM ^
So why are we worried about it?
Besides the coaches gave the Huskers the split title.

That's what really blows. A tiny margin in just one of the polls turned into "Michigan and Nebraska split the championship."
I will never be able to listen to Sean McDonough (a competent broadcaster) without thinking of that Nebraska - Tennessee game.

Go back and look at the end of the Mizzou game vs Neb from '97 - I'm sure it must be on YouTube...
The Huskers DID NOT GO UNDEFEATED in 1997. Check it out, to call that ND level "luck" is a complete misstatement of what acutally happened. Given the replay system of today they LOSE LOSE LOSE that game.
And I forgot in my previous message:
F**k Peyton Manning too, for playing so shitty vs Nebraska that his pathetic drunken cheating coach had to vote us 4th just to make Peyton's choke job look less Fugly!
September 6th, 2016 at 9:58 AM ^
I watched that game and saw it happen live with my Mizzou fan relatives who were beyond pissed. Yes, it was illegitimate, but it was luck to have the play count and all anyone saw on that by the end of the season was a W, so yes, Nebraska went undefeated that year.
They also played better in their bowl than Michigan did and given the bowls were being used as a data point by then, I remain confused as to why everyone is so pissed off.

How did you find this, were you invited to the wedding, and if not, why did you find this?
And if you were invited, just wondering what you selected from their bridal registry???
September 5th, 2016 at 7:27 PM ^
Found it on a UCF board...it's a scandal !!
I would never attend a mail order bride wedding.
September 5th, 2016 at 7:38 PM ^
....but what if you were the Groom???
In all fairness, she is hot!
