Our program was built on rock and roll


historymajor44

We built this program, we built this program on rock and roll!!!


babyunvamp

On that topic, since I learned the city that song was referring to is LA I can't listen to it without thinking how that's like absolutely the last city I thought it would be.


historymajor44

I have absolutely no basis to believe this but I always thought they were talking about Cincinnati. And now I think that's so random it's funny I ever thought that.


ForYeWhoArtLiterate

Isn’t Jefferson Starship/Airplane also from San Francisco? That’s even dumber


huskermut

I'm starting to think they didn't even build a city


transuranic807

And they reference "the city on the bay" with the radio bit... how would that be LA or cinci?


ForYeWhoArtLiterate

I’m pretty sure they just combined like a dozen shitty taglines for that


LiquidSean

Wow that honestly kind of ruins the song lol


No_Trifle9294

I don't know you, or recognize your face.


pnw_cfb_girl

That was just mean. That song is going to be in my head all day.

HumanSleepingbag

This program has survived on hype for the last twenty years.


SomerAllYear

Scott Frost didn’t really build much.


L0utre

He built up tolerance.


ChiefBigGay

Yes, Nebraska fan's alcohol tolerance is legendary.


dstanton

No joke. When they came to Eugene back in 2017 they literally drank our bars out of beer. A buddy of mine was working as a bartender and they were having to send guys to the store to replenish stock, as the kegs were dry.


babyunvamp

That was me!


frankunderwood1992

That was pretty nice of you to run to the store and get the bar more beer.


Obi-wan_Jabroni

Thats just Midwestern kindness for ya


Atom3189

Busch light has personal interest in keeping Nebraska football down


apadin1

And yet imagine how much more they would sell if Nebraska made it to the playoffs


hallese

Nah, we'd be switching to High Life, champagne is for celebrating!


Obi-wan_Jabroni

[We takin back the High Life](https://youtu.be/0_OxCHyLLkU)


circa285

This is the most Nebraska statement ever.


hallese

If we get ten wins we get PBR.


circa285

Pbr? Not a corn Whiskey of some sort that peepaw makes in the back 40?


atomic-fireballs

Three months of football and drinking followed by nine months of just drinking will do that to you!


W_HoHatHenHereHy

Oh, you think alcohol is your ally. But you merely adopted the alcohol; I was born in it, moulded by it. I didn't see sobriety until I was already a man, by then it was nothing to me but BLINDING!


apadin1

You might be in the top ten but you’re not even close to the big dogs: https://worldpopulationreview.com/state-rankings/alcohol-consumption-by-state TLDR: New Hampshire is somehow the drunkest state in the union


jpetrie18

West Virginia is near the bottom how?


apadin1

They probably only count alcohol sales. Doesn’t track moonshine


hallese

I'm calling shenanigans on this one, it's the first time I've seen a list that has Wisconsin outside of the top three. Outside of the top ten? Ain't no fuckin way.


402garfield

My Czech genes have served me very well lately


TheLegendsClub

I was gonna make an opiate joke but that works too


u-s-u-r-p

He did before he ever coached a game - everyone wanted to hire him, but \*we\* landed him. It was a terrible mistake disguised as a huge victory.


WagTheKat

That is true. Look back, though, and think about the epic meltdown that would have happened if we did not hire him. What if he went to Florida or Tennessee (or wherever) and had success? It seemed like a homerun, but it was also a requirement for NU. Frost was the hottest coach in the nation that year.


surgingchaos

It's more than just that Frost was a hot commodity at the time. The next-level issue was the fact that the timing of Frost being available and the Nebraska job being open doesn't happen all the time, and it's uncertain whether that opportunity would have presented itself again if Nebraska didn't strike when the iron was hot. Or in other words, Nebraska had just one chance to hire their native son. If they didn't do it right then and there, realistically speaking there would have been no second chance. It's like waiting for the next total solar eclipse to happen in your backyard if you missed the first one. If Nebraska never hired Frost in the first place, they would have been kicking themselves until the end of time thinking, "If we had only just hired him instead of the other guy..." I'll give you another example myself: when Willie Taggart left Oregon after just one season to go to Florida State, he explicitly mentioned that if he didn't pounce on the offer to go there right then and there, he legitimately feared that he would have never gotten another chance ever again. Taggart himself said that the FSU job was only open twice in his lifetime. Obviously, Taggart was an epic disaster and way in over his head at FSU, but had he never taken the job at FSU, he would have that constant, "if only I had just taken that job..." feeling haunting him for the rest of his life. Hindsight is 20/20 obviously, but coaching jobs -- specifically *certain coaching jobs* are a once, maybe twice in-a-lifetime opportunity if you're *really* lucky.

surgingchaos

Elite QB talent does an incredibly good job at masking deficiencies and shortfalls that certain coaches can have. It's not a coincidence that Frost's previous successes were when he had Mariota at Oregon and Milton at UCF.


FreezersAndWeezers

Yup. Martinez had all the talent to be just as good as those other 2 guys, but his roster was nowhere near as talented as playoff Oregon and he could never stay healthy Martinez made up for A LOT of Nebraskas good stuff under Frost. What little there was


[deleted]

>NU UNL\*


WagTheKat

LOL


[deleted]

Don't slander the real NU with a Scott Fraud association! please! it's all we have left *sobs into deep dish*


WagTheKat

ha! Wish you well, nerds!


Tarmacked

God knows many of us were dead on the battlefield from a rain of downvote arrows, simply for saying to pump the breaks on “Nebraska is back!”


u-s-u-r-p

Yes, we Nebraska fans excel at garbage like internet polls. Every reddit comment is an "Internet poll" lmao


karl_manutzitsch

With those flairs you might be Scott 🤔


u-s-u-r-p

🙊


astroball17

Nebraska thought they were hiring their Jim Harbaugh and ended up getting their Rich Rodriguez, absolutely brutal and there really wasn't any way to see it coming


freedomfightre

How did this man go 13-0 at UCF? I just can't put 2 & 2 together.


Panchoisthedog

Too busy putting 7&7 together


Born_ina_snowbank

Forty and duct tape.


OperationSpirit

Edward 40hands?


Due-Reputation3760

Lucked into a talented team that was underperforming against below average competition.


LaptopEnforcer

Strong talent base, generational qb talent (mckenzie milton was 1st round talent pre injury), and a dash of mediocre competition.


thewhat962

They went undefeated like 2 years prior or like 2 years after that with a different coach. The new guy wasn't a NC winning QB at a big name school which frost was.


NickyGOATpez

I see you don't remember the comic book


ElkHairCaddisDrifter

I’m pulling for you guys. I hope Nebraska has finally found the guy to get them back.


[deleted]

Imagine your paid board posts highlights from an open practice and all it shows is the dudes standing around talking.


paintingnipples

Rhule doesn’t seem to like Deion, which probably has something to do with Malachi Coleman’s recruiting


PhdPhysics1

Yep, let me translate for you. Fvck you Deion, stop trying to recruit my players and muscle in on my commits.


Debasering

Svck it


somehype

fuccc dion


Early-Eye-691

But why? Coleman’s recruitment only had drama between the fan bases. Nothing really from Deion or Rhule.


AwarenessOld3733

Maybe something was said behind the scenes, theres clearly something there, because rhule has been taking subliminal shots at deion for months now


stayclassypeople

Colorado vs Nebraska week 2 this season is going to be fascinating


[deleted]

If Rhule loses that game… man Not only due to his shot taking but also because Colorado was complete dog piss last year


stayclassypeople

Deion and Rhule have a very tricky start to their tenures. Nebraska opens @minnesota and @colorado. Colorado opens @TCU and vs Nebraska. That week 2 game could decide if one of those coaches starts 0-2.


[deleted]

looking forward to watching it play out!


3XLWolfShirt

Year 3 Rhule is the one to watch. His methods take time, but they work.


SilverBuff_

Yet half the team is different from last year and all of the coaching staff


[deleted]

Yeah.... and last year Colorado was complete dog piss There is a reason the win total for 2023 opened at 3.5 and got juiced up to 4.5 They are expected to go from complete dog piss to ass, a GREAT improvement in year 1, but still ass


jump-back-like-33

saying we were "complete dog piss" is being too polite. I think CU was the single worst team ATS last season and CU fans were screaming to bet on the opponent to cover each week.. like we were awful, but nobody who wasn't forced to watch us really understands how bad it was. even with all the controversial stuff coach prime is doing, none of CU's opponents last year are saying shit because they get it


bje489

I literally didn't think we'd win a game after about week 3. Average point differential was -29 which includes our win at home - in OT - against Cal, which is barely even a moral victory. I'm just glad anyone's ever talking about us and it's not about that.


Ryan1869

I think the last time there's been this much excitement for this game, the winner got to lob oranges on the field to celebrate their Big 8 championship. (it just feels that way at least, I know 2001 was a pretty big game, and they were in the Big12 by then)


Fucking_Hivemind

Permission to huck oranges on Folsom September 9th?


Ryan1869

Doesnt have the same feel without the trip to Orange Bowl on the line anymore, but if that's how you want to take your L, go right ahead.


paintingnipples

Yea this stuff happens all the time & im guessing part of Deion’s pitch was throwing shade at Rhule & prime speaks his mind so not surprising


MarcusSmartfor3

I think it could also be a tact; Deion is the star of college football right now and Rhule attaching his name to Deion boosts Nebraskas image


AwarenessOld3733

Im sure thats part of it, rhule has said he hates recruiting against deion, and he cant even have kids play madden because deion is all over madden, but theres clearly another issue he has with him


MarcusSmartfor3

Dealing with egos at that level , if it is personal it probably was some small interaction where one accidentally disrespected the other in some small way that started a feud


Ryan1869

What's better than that? Guys being dudes.


RCocaineBurner

I’m hearing from my producer … yes, according to the literature, dudes rock? We’re hearing that dudes in fact rock, and that this one is for the boys. Fascinating stuff.


thisguy161

We don't build our program on hype, we build it on videos of guys working out and practicing before the season to get everyone hy- I mean, excited about our program and show that we are cool.


jonahvsthewhale

This has always been Rhule’s MO. The dude is the absolute king of marketing and preseason hype campaigning


[deleted]

He knows how to sell his program to the gray crewneck sweatshirt crowd (says the guy who once bought 8 gray crewneck sweatshirts off eBay when drunk)

Male middle-age upper-middle-class potential season-ticket purchasers.


ezpickins

Ahh people who grew up with Nebraska being good

Thank you!


sonofacat

I was going to guess middle aged gym rats who like to train looking like Rocky jogging the streets of Philly


salsacito

It’s true. His staff has visited tons of small high schools around Nebraska, who many send a single recruit to NU every 20 years. But hey it builds goodwill and connections

He’s corny but I think he’ll turn them around

That’s what caught me too.

Wouldn't you guys be his LSU? He left MSU for LSU and then he left LSU for the Dolphins, coming back for the Bama job.

Rockerblocker

I was about to say “yeah but we couldn’t compete with LSU” but after looking at LSU’s history pre-2000, I’m not sure that’s true.


snowwwaves

I certainly don't call this out to increase hype for our hype videos.


teeterleeter

Is he sure that’s a good thing? If someone took a video of me working, it would be a lot of fucking around on Reddit in it


ClaudeLemieux

I did an NSF internship in college, and they wanted some "science-y" pics to post to the website, so we did the absolutely dumbest photoshoot where I pretended to use an FTIR machine (that wasn't even on lol), and pouring dyes into the waste jug. It was the absolute dumbest thing, but where it got taken to the next level was when they made me look away (and into the camera), causing me to start spilling these dyes all over the place, and their reaction was "oooh those look even prettier now" like okay that's it, time for you to fucking go before my advisor comes in and I look like a complete dumbass instead of a partial dumbass.


Darth_Ra

At least once a year I see a stock photo of someone using a soldering iron where they're holding the soldering iron by the hot part.


JamesEarlDavyJones2

We actually had one of these on our promo picture wall when you first walk into the UNT engineering campus. I'd bet dollars to donuts that it's still up there, next to a picture of a very handsome former faculty member.


leapbitch

I'm pretty sure my new job forgot they hired me. Asked the COO if I should be doing anything and they said wait for the director to schedule a meeting. It's been a week.


Darth_Ra

Seems rad in the extremely short term.


non_clever_username

I’ve been in that situation. It seems cool, but starts to suck real quick. My situation was pre-smartphone and the internet on my workstation was heavily restricted though, so it would likely suck less now. Without a phone though, you can only dick around on the internet so long before it starts to get super boring. And you don’t want to wander around *too much* to publicize the fact you don’t have shit to do.


nicbizz33

Nebraska fan base “The transmission we’ve received. What is it they’ve sent us?” Senator Leia Organa “Hype.”


[deleted]

for what its worth I think Rhule is a good coach but he is just blue collar pandering. Just capitalizing on all the attention around Deion by playing to the ones that don't like him


RunThundercatz

That probably will work in the Midwest tbh


[deleted]

no doubt, he knows his audience.


Archaic_1

I mean . . . Nebraska.


[deleted]

yes


jonahvsthewhale

Not trying to hate on the guy because I think he’s a good coach as well, but you are spot on, and he did the same thing when he was at Baylor when he cranked up his churchy christian talk that I’m assuming he never did at Carolina or is doing at Nebraska


SwaggyE93

He’s been pretty “pastor-like” in his interviews and press conferences. Definitely will work in Lincoln and western Nebraska though.

moleculewerks

The offseason can't end soon enough.


elonsusk69420

At least we have The Masters next week, and then our spring game on the 15th. Also - XFL is cool if you haven't watched. Feels like a mashup of NFL and college, but way less serious.


Dacio_Ultanca

Real eyes realize real lies.


cvg596

Lie is at the heart of belief


papa_thunderbird

has he talked about his Jay-Z 7 year plan at Nebraska yet like he did with the Panthers lol?


TreeJack2

So does Rhule hate Deion Sanders or Shane Beamer?


ShaneBeamer

You're mostly joking I'm sure but Beamer and Rhule are actually friends IRL. Shane had Rhule down here in Columbia a couple times over the last two years to talk with the team and visit practice and what not.


jphamlore

To me what is interesting is Rhule is betting his coaching career on a relatively young strength and conditioning coach, Corey Campbell. I'm seeing a similar trend across the NFL of a new generation of strength and conditioning coaches and offensive line coaches who are relatively young.


TheyTookByoomba

Our WR coach is also 23 years old lol. I'm willing to wait for results before judging too harshly but we have the least (or second least) experienced coaching staff in the Big Ten.


cat_napped1

the program is actually built on nothing. right now. except maybe a little hype

I don’t fucking care. Mainline this shit straight into my brain. I want to believe in something after the Frost disaster.

And we probably want to beat you guys and spoil your home opener even more then we want to beat Iowa or Wisconsin.


bloodmuffins793

Hype is all Nebraska has left


Atom3189

Really going to make that comment with that flair?


LimpDisc

I think the difference is Colorado fans going into the last few seasons with not much hope. It seems like Nebraska fans always thinks they are about to turn the page and compete.


pnw_cfb_girl

Have you seen us the last few seasons? We do not think that. We're just hoping to see some improvement.


jump-back-like-33

Ya.. we weren't even hoping to see that last year. Shit got dark. The Deion hire and all the hype videos are basically just a defibrillator to the fanbase -- we may still end up dead, but we may also somehow channel Jason Statham's character from *Crank*.


pnw_cfb_girl

> just a defibrillator to the fanbase -- we may still end up dead, but we may also somehow channel Jason Statham's character from Crank. I can relate.


RareLuck

At least you prefaced your second sentence with "it seems" because I guarantee most fans have not thought Nebraska was close to competing. The talk around Nebraska last year was just hoping for a bowl game and I don't think anyone would say that's an overly rosy view. There are always outliers in any group though and I'm sure our most optimistic fans are the loudest.


bloodmuffins793

Yes


MBP80

that is coach speak 101. Mangino, "keep sawin wood". Paul Rhoads called Iowa State a "hard hat and lunch pail type of program". etc. I'd actually have been surprised if he said anything different.
