10/20/2018 Coach Frost & The Nebraska Cornhuskers Earn Their First Victory of The Season, The Foundation Has Been PavedRead NowCollege Football Today Fans Of The Year NomineeIntro by President Maddy Sperling ![]() When you think about what a home game looks like for an 0-6 team, a packed stadium of 89, 272 jumpy but focused fans is not the first thing that comes to mind. Looking across the stands of Memorial Stadium, you will rarely find someone distractedly gazing at their phone or gorging themselves on nachos and beer because in Lincoln, Nebraska, football games are about one thing– the Cornhuskers.The visible difference between the parents of players and the rest of the fans is almost nonexistent as every face in the sold out crowd is devotedly fixed on every move the Cornhuskers make. This is not to say Lincoln is filled with feverish or fanatic fans, in fact the atmosphere in Memorial Stadium was described as an “awesome environment” by the losing Minnesota Gophers fans as they walked through downtown Lincoln. For people who fancy themselves “football purists” should take a closer look at the Husker Nation. Rain or shine, sweltering heat or snow, Husker Nation has sold out their historic stadium for 365 consecutive home games. The last time the Cornhuskers played in Memorial Stadium without a packed house cheering them on, it was 1962 and a solid 20 years before college football was televised. What Memorial Stadium might lack visibly in flash or commercial fixtures it more than makes up for the rich history that decorates both i ts exterior and interior. From the walk of champions that graces the front facade to the sign at every gate that says, “through these gates pass the greatest fans in college football” reflect Lincoln’s attitude towards their team. Unlike the the cliché “win-at-all-costs” model, Nebraska fans’ approach to Huskers football could be best described as “play-at-all-costs.” The Cornhuskers are Lincoln and Lincoln doesn’t believe in failure when it comes to the Big Red. I was fortunate enough to attend my first Nebraska Cornhusker game the day they broke a 10-game losing streak, and the day Scott Frost earned his first W as their head coach. There was both relief and pride throughout Lincoln and a sense that their long years of unwaivering loyalty was rewarded once again within the historic walls of Memorial Stadium. Coach Frost now knows the exact measurements needed to start the framework for the Nebraska CornhuskersCoach Frost and the Nebraska Cornhuskers were able to garner their first victory of the season and the Nebraska faithful may now breathe a sigh of relief, as the house that Coach Frost has been contracted to build is starting to have many contributors. Who would have thought I would be traveling to Nebraska after staying up for two nights straight, as I was ranking the 2019 Top 300 FB Recruits and Top 2020 FB Recruits with our new S.T.E.P FB Recruit Algorithm to go watch a 0-6 Nebraska team take on the Minnesota Golden Gophers. Having seen the Land of 10 article that decided to talk trash on another opponent, instead of talk about all the great things that I happen to know occur in this great state, I decided to run some wire for my electricity. Having ran my program for three years and from having become a better athlete from coaching athletes in detail oriented football/combine training, I realized what they were attempting to accomplish rather quickly. Negative recruiting should not have to be a tactic in College Football Today and I damn well know Coach Frost did not authorize you to attack Coach Jim Harbaugh. Your website did not reflect the fine people I know from the great state of Nebraska. When this is one of your main problems with the system today, a point had to be made. The Phoenix begins to rise from the ashes, as the Huskers Black-Shirt defense is able to deliver in crucial momentsAm I happy the Huskers lost their first 6 games of this season? Do you think I was happy about this coming from the team I admired so dearly growing up as a child. I learned mostly all of my power option package from Coach Tom Osborne and the tactics he used to play dominating smash mouth football. Am I happy that the first Nebraska Husker game a once little boy from New Jersey would die to be at, was won by Huskers Nation? I watched another sold out crowd make Minnesota feel their wrath of having to watch the Huskers struggle the first half of this season and costly penalties emerge from the immense distraction they were able to create. I watched a Pheonix begin to rise from the ashes in the once historically known mentally tough Black-Shirt defense and I watched a team shutdown their opposition when every man did his job. As I stated to my friend Joe Mazour, the dynamics of this Husker team are very special and this moment in time should be noteworthy, as the next stage now begins in "building a house 101".
