Winning percentage, not number of wins. Frost has to win 51 straight games to match Bo's win percentage at Nebraska.

I know, I can't believe his win percentage has been that low for that long. Now I haven't looked up either record, just going off of "vibes".

I visited one of the Nub forums last night and one of their fans said, "We're the new Kansas."

It's the turn of the century and you are at a Y2K themed NYE party. You find a slightly inebriated nubb fan who is living life high on the hog. In the last 10 years he has won 7 of the last 10 conference championships including 3 national titles, their worst season in that span they finished ranked 19th.

You tap him on the shoulder and whisper "Over the next 22 years you will fail to win a conference title, have a 5 season streak of missing bowl games. Your QB will even transfer to kstate for a chance to play in a bowl game...also you will go 6-6 against the wildcats"

He looks back at you and says "Ain't no way we would go .500 against those pussy cats, kstate is a flash in the pan"

You look him dead in the eye and day "No No No, not those wildcats, 6-6 against the Northwestern Wildcats"
Beautiful

From the facebooks [does it get more facebook-y than self-identifying as a "momma bear" in your post]:

Quote
Anchoring Hope for Mental Health: Jeremy & Bailey Koch

  ·
We Husker fans need to do better.
We are all the talk right now in college football, and it's not positive attention.
But I'm not here to complain about Frost, the players, the staff, the program, the way it once was...
I'm here as a genuine concerned fan.
A bit of a momma bear if you will.
As a college instructor, I am with 18 to 22 year olds daily.
These. Are. Kids.
Trust me, they think they're adults. Remember when you did too at their age? How'd that go for ya?
You are tearing these kids up game after game, expectation after expectation, pressure after pressure.
And now, we've managed to put a man's job, one he loves, respects, and works his butt off for, on the literal shoulder pads of 18 to 22 year olds.
Step up, Husker fans.
There has been a fall from grace, but it's not only on the shoulders of this coach, these kids, or this program.
It's on us, too.
So we either learn how to cheer louder, in both wins and losses, or continue watching the weight of the world crush a program we all love so much.
Let's take on some blame and become the world's greatest fans once again.
Go Big Red.
Nebraska Huskers

If Scott Frost won his next 50 games, he would still have a worse record at Nebraska than Bo Pelini.
Holy crap what a stat. How can that be real?

What happened with Bo? Was it related to Carl?

Fans were spelling his name with 3 Ls because he was good for three losses every year. Also, he was a pants-pissing piece of crap who couldn't get along with anyone.

Man I bet they would crawl over broken glass to have 3 losses a season again.  Current guy still pants pissing idiot who can’t get along with anyone either.

Or, said differently…Scott Frost could win his next 50 games in a row, and still not surpass Bo Pelini in either total wins or overall winning percentage.

HE'S 15-30??????

I seriously would have guessed he is like just below .500. Again, based on vibes.

Yes, but he's lost 21 games by one score or less, so he's really just very unlucky, needs more time, etc.

His 13-0 campaign with UCF is the only winning season in his six year career as HC.

Nebraska currently has the second longest bowl game drought in FBS. If Kansas can somehow go .500, Nebraska will take the top spot.

I think they are clearly the best program to miss a bowl game 6 years in a row of all time, regardless of what Kansas does.

Mike Riley was fired after 3 seasons with a 19-19 record. Scott Frost is in his 5th season and he still hasn't won 19 games.

There have been many delicious stats in this thread, but that one is scrumptious.

Note to self when I become a power five head football coach. Recruit at a high level according to the recruiting experts and lose all your games by single digits. Gives the illusion that prosperity is just around the corner
