Nebraska gives Scott Frost much deserved extension to only fire him.

This doesn't explain it all, but here are a few factors:

Cheap pasture land in the sandhills has created a lot of wealth for cattle ranchers.

It's not oil, but the ogallala aquifer provides a valuable source of water to croplands in the Platte River Valley. The benefit is consistent crops every year. Alfalfa deep roots directly to the water table and row crops always have a source of irrigation.

Many small stakes investors in the state have evolved into millionaires largely due to buying a share or two of Berkshire Hathaway in the 70's & 80's. The local influence makes this more common than in most other states.

Didn't know this but one in 20 Nebraskans are millionaires.

Similar delusion on their message boards. Campbell isn’t good enough for them.

Only in America could a despicable human being like Urban Meyer still have millions of supporters, and keep getting numerous second chances.

Where have I seen this before in America?

I'm hoping and praying they hire Urban Meyer.... he's made for that place.

Nebraska has a lot of things in it's favor, but it would still require living in Nebraska. Might as well live in a remote outpost in the ocean.

 

[Acylum]

Good.

Kinda what I thought. I wouldn’t want to leave for a job where 75% of the fan base doesn’t want me.

Its a heck of a predicament if Nebraska beats OU and goes on to having a half way decent season. You have to hire Mickey Joseph at that point, but these interim coaches generally can do pretty well but then generally drop off the following years.

 

[Clark]

On the bright side, Nebraska fans won't have to worry about suffering through another one score loss today. Yeesh.

Lol Huskers. Get the second half kickoff, fumble and OU recovers and scores a few plays later

This team is way way way worse than we all think. This is a baaaaaaaaaaaad team.

The entire program is exactly as bad as WE think. now if only the media would be honest about it and obviously their fans are in a cult so they will NEVER get it.

Even after last weekend I thought they could get to 4 wins. This may be a 2 win team.

OU can get to 70 if they want to. I hope they do.
