The idea that a coach needs to be a "alma mater" man is why Nebraska is falling behind. Frost hasn't been able to get the players he needs to put in the system he wants. He's also stuck up for a QB that hasn't been able to progress the way he should have by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, Frost was the hottest coaching prospect anywhere. It's not like Nebraska was hiring Brady Hoke. UCF went winless the season before he took over, and two years later they were national champions* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, I thought at the time the winless to undefeated thing was overblown. They won 31 games in the three seasons before going winless. I don't know what the hell happened in 2015 but it was an anomaly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Madison is likely the only team that could play with them this year. Next year JMU won't be in the playoffs since they're prepping for FBS football. I'd be interested to see if Jackson State skips the Celebration Bowl, if they qualify, just to see how much improved they'll be with the incoming players.

I hope the Dukes find success down there in the good ol' Fun Belt. (Total sidebar but: having been down through that part of Virginia about 1700 times over over past two years, from Blackburg clear up to Front Royal, yes, that Blue Ridge down there is absolutely some of THE most beautiful scenery in the country...rivals anything out west.) *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since you'll be on a bike, you can take the Blue Ridge Parkway (which actually starts clear down in North Carolina, but doesn't go all the way to Winchester), or I-81 if you want the express route from Bristol on up to Winchester, then head back south on 81 and then cut back west across I-64 back toward Beckley WV. That 64 has some absolutely breathtaking views, especially since it cuts through/across the Appalachians. It is for that same reason that the WV Turnpike can be a nice scenic drive as well--if you don't mind paying tolls from Beckley to Charleston. Also, if you do make it to Beckley, be sure to stop at the Tamarack Travel Plaza off the 45 exit of the WV Turnpike. There's several hotels right near there if you want to make a weekend of it--and good whitewater rafting near the New River Gorge, all near Beckley. It's one of the nation's best-kept recreational secrets. *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
