No matter how many Frost interviews I see, I still can't believe how much he looks like my brother.  I often have to do a double-take.

Quick aside:  my brother competed against Frost in state meets.  Once my mom thought my brother would do well, and my dad quickly shot her down and said, "Well, that Frost kid's mom was an Olympic athlete, so, no, he (my bro) isn't winning this thing".

Agreed. Most hope I've had in years.....On a complete random  tangent. One of the partners of the company I work for in Omaha was in Vegas a few weeks ago. He saw Frost playing at a black jack table. Told me that he was so incredibly intense at the table playing cards..... A good sign about the drive he has as a person who wants to win.  I'm hoping this translate into some much needed success coaching at Nebraska.

Maybe it was Dilly Dilly's brother.

This is fiction. It’s not gambling if you know you’re going to win.

Going off on a tangent, I work for a company that does a lot of work on accessibility for websites and media. We've worked with some other universities on getting their various sites and such up to spec. (I don't think I can name names, but some pretty well-known ones - Ivy League, even.) This is an area that's problematic for us: most social media sites don't provide a way to attach a soft subtitle (closed caption) to a video, which allow it to be toggled on & off as needed. So instead, we have to do a hard sub (open caption), which is part of the video itself and thus always visible to all users. Being a state agency, the University almost certainly has some legal requirements to make things it puts out accessible, which might even include videos like this.
