early games will really be about tuning up with the new staff and new systems both sides of the ball

the results could be rough to start

Baptism by fire!

In year one, Scott Frost draws King Barry's nightmare crossover schedule, with Michigan, Ohio St and Michigan St all in the same season.

Two of the three are on the road, on top of it... and so is the Wisconsin game... and the Iowa game!?




Pffft.

If it was King Barry's nightmare, they would be all lined up in a row. This is cake.

So Alvarez would have rested easier if he had to prepare for the Illini during the bye week that he got to enjoy instead?

I'm pretty sure he didn't prepare anything since he's not a coach, but in all honesty I think bye weeks hurt more than they help - especially if the kids are mostly healthy and even more so if they come early on.

They will tell you themselves that they don't like bye weeks. Coaches don't either.

There is certainly a sense by the locals that the BIG is going out of its way to make life difficult on UNL.

I'm not saying there has been intent by the B1G, but there certainly has been a difficult life for Husker football since joining the conference

I'd say mostly the fault of UNL

now the last couple seasons in the Big 12????............  I'm certain there was considerable intent to make life difficult on the Huskers

and it has been argued that beginning the inception of the Big 12 there was plenty of intent to make things difficult for the Huskers

Hey, if you're gonna have a run like the one in the 90's, ya might have to pay for it sooner or later

When is the SEC gonna gang up on Bama?

Making it hard on Nebraska? I don't think so. Nebraska has made it hard on Nebraska, but I think that's all gonna start to change now with the hire of Scott Frost.

I remember the mediots and a lot of UNL fans telling us the Huskers were gonna come in and dominate. It may happen someday, but so far not so much.

the Huskers haven't had a program that could dominate any conference since the Frank Solich days

and you didn't hear that from any Husker fans still posting here

Yeah, Frankie could have kept the train going. 

Instead he is wasting away down in Athens.

I'm not suggesting that Fearless Frankie would have dominated the Big 12 or the Big Ten

just that the last dominant Husker team was 2001

BWT, back in 1997 when I began posting on CFB boards the Fearless F obviously stood for Fearless Frankie Solich

now that has been changed to reflect Fearless Frosty (Scott)

That is correct. That post you made on the UW thread made me curious so I went and looked at the comments on it.

Some need to learn that 1997 was more than two decades ago. I lost brain cells over there, but I'd say it's 70-30 on the decent-stupid ratio as far as posters go, which is actually pretty good for a homer board.

There's no conspiracy. The crossover schedule is on a rotation. Weather you are Wisconsin or Nebraska, you don't get to play Rutgers and Indiana every year. 

Speaking of which. Think how Rutgers and Indiana feel? They'd have to put together one of the best teams in school history in order to even have an outside chance of winning their division.

Think how Michigan feels too.
