this weekend about the 90's era of Husker football. I think Bookie and Mike Brown have alot in common in their style of play.

Is the university doing anything for the 20yr anniversary of the 97 championship? Other than hiring Scott Frost, that is.

Well, since they weren't even born, they probably will wonder who these "old dudes" are! As for Jason Peter being excluded by some, sorry, you take the good with the bad. Jason is certainly outspoken about all things Husker football, but he was one of the greatest D-Linemen to ever play at UNL and he certainly gave more of himself to the program than any fan can boast.

Yea, why are they celebrating the 90's anyways? Osborne has a lot of nerve too if he shows up, what with all the shady things he did as a coach and AD.

The former player will be prohibited from talking to anyone about the virtues of playing at Nebraska. They are to just show up and look pretty so we all feel good about what once was.

Sheeshish

When we do the 20th anniversary celebration, is there any chance we can get Scott Frost to provide a message on the big screen since he can't be in attendance? The crowd would go wild!

Get 'er done, Guppy!

Totally forgot about that. The decibel level would probably break records after that speech played on the screen.

Which would be a classless thing to do to the current coaching staff... I get it that people are excited about Scott Frost potentially coming home, and I have no problem with that. But last home game for the huskers, these coaches were booed. Cheering euphorically for Scott Frost the very next home game is not something the brass should want to encourage, unless they truly have already made up their minds about the current coaching staff regardless of outcome.

Scott will have his day in the sun if we fire Riley and bring Frost in. Let the cheering happen then.

So do we ignore the fact he was our quarterback and leader of that team? Do we ignore an impassioned speech that influenced some voters? Do we make sure he doesn't get mentioned...his picture doesn't get shown...he is little more than an afterthought? Where do you draw the line?

You went full tilt on showing the video... I said I didn't think that was a good idea. Sorry you disagree. Where did I say don't mention his name? Don't show his picture?

Here's an idea... Let's show the video of Frost... Oh, wait, this is a limited time frame to honor the TEAM? I thought we were celebrating the 20th anniversary of Scott Frost. Oh, yeah, maybe we shouldn't post videos of individuals... That's my two cents.

Since this is a TEAM accolade, if they are going to show a video of any kind it should be of Tom Osborne, not Scott Frost.

I am sure you would at least be fine with that...

Do we ignore the fact that "the greatest fans" called for Frankie London just a year earlier, called Frost a traitor when he took a grad position at K State. Cheering wildly for his Orange Bowl speech would be just a continuation of the tradition of the classless " Greatest Fans" tradition. Do you ever wonder why it may be difficult to attract top talent for the AD or coaching positions?
