Frost can eat my shorts.

Nope he is not coming back for that anniversary. I mean he really might not be "welcomed" back...

Thinking about this more... there have been rumors about things during his college time here for years. Something/things happened, and they still are not forgiven today. Doc Holliday alluded to those things when he was active here. If this is the case, it probably would have been best if Scott had stayed at UFC. Because judging by Jay's clip here, I'm not sure a fix can be found for whatever happened.

Yeah, you're correct on that. I will say that he raised an eyebrow on me in his presser after his hiring. About the first thing he did was put ever reporter on notice that his family was off limits. That did strike me as a bit paranoid but I didn't question it at the time because I just assumed I didn't have all the facts. No one knew his first child's name for criminey's sake but whatever floated his boat.

I will not believe that his family was unfairly treated. I know, from living in GI, how people pretty much bowed down to Larry (father). That man could do anything he wanted in Wood River and no one blinked an eye over it. Oldest brother was a mechanic for years at a dealership here in town. Larry would come in and they gave him a brand new car. He would run it into the ground, bring it back in and I'll be damned if they didn't give him another damn car to trash. All for being SF's daddy. :shake my damn head:

Now, tell me again how horribly his family was treated Scott. BAH!

From what I have gathered from people in Wood River, I don't think they were sorry to see them move... I was put aback several times asking about Scott and family. I guess they had it figured out.

We all didn't want to see it but the clues were there all along. Live and learn.
 
When he said he "didn't really want to do it" (take the Nebraska job), I think he made an honest statement. He didn't really want to put in the work. He didn't really want to navigate all the relationships. He didn't really respect the challenge.

Although I'm a long-distance Husker fan, I was in Lincoln at the beginning and at the end (Akron and Georgia Southern). I still have pictures of all the signs around town that read "Welcome Home!" And I still remember the utter shock and disgust of giving up record yardage and points to a .500 Sun Belt team.

No one had a better resume for this job than Scott Frost. He played QB for TO and won a share of the national championship. He played defense in the NFL for several legendary coaches. He grew up in Nebraska and understood the people and geography. His father played for Bob Devaney...on and on we can go.

But it really all comes back to being a lazy know-it-all with a reputed substance abuse problem. Sadly, he apparently learned nothing from the experience, but he does enjoy generational wealth that will see him through if UCF gets tired of his nonsense in a few years.

A simple "I learned a lot from my time at Nebraska, and I'm ready to move on to this challenge" would have been appropriate and classy.

Frost is neither.

No, Larry was not well-liked in WR. Same brother's good friend happened to live next door to Larry and Carol. He had to put a lock on his shed as Larry would walk in, help himself to whatever yard equipment he needed (mower, trimmer, etc) and, if he bothered to return them, they were broken. I cannot imagine living next to someone like that. Sheesh.

At least I slept through my colonoscopy so I didn’t have to feel the probing.

The colonoscopy isn't a big deal. It's the freakin' prep that blows large chunks. Fortunately, I no longer have to have them, unless I would have issues where they would need to rule out something. I had my last one 2 years ago, 2 polyps, etc so I'm in the 10 year category. Once you turn 70, unless you have problems, no more Colonoscopies. YEAH!!!!!

Well that quote just as likely can apply to his vaunted return to UCF. It is hard to go home again.

I can attest that it is possible to go home (we returned to our hometown of GI after 30 years). You can forge new relationships, revisit old relationships and make it work but it takes effort (something which Mr. Frost did not exhibit at DONU) and he's liable to find out that it's not at all the same. I actually like it better as an adult than I did growing up in GI and graduating from GISH. I can promise Mr. Frost that things will be different in any case. I also expect that the fan base won't be particularly forgiving of him should UCF crash and burn under his helm. The fans who are cheering his return were ready to burn his effigy when he deserted them to return to his motherland.

I wish he would have remained at Stanford backing up Stenstrom and Butterfield. In my head brain I erased everything he did in Lincoln. We win it all in '97 (and maybe '96) with or without him.

Yeah, that's pretty much what I was thinking. Deets about Colonoscopies are not necessary.

Fun fact, the first time hub and I got reamed, the doc who performed it gave us the pictures. He's retired now and the guy who did our reaming last time doesn't provide pictures afterwords. I was kinda bummed. Thought about having it framed as a conversation piece. ;scared

Quite literally, for sh!ts and giggles, I bypassed the pre-op prep and instead had Taco Bell the night before. Good times!
