Frost on Jim Rome

Someone posted that recently. I hadn't seen it before but it looked staged.

it happened and it was very real.  I think he was trying to make a name for himself.  It's been strange how much he's expressed his respect  for Nebraska.  He just doesn't seen like he and us have anything in common but he's tooted our horn clear back to before Crouch won the Heisman.  

 
Once you've heard everything on the football boards it just sounds like a rehash of obvious stuff meant for the casual observer. Not very interesting.

And that video was a publicity stunt. Jerry Springer.

Rome has been a guilty pleasure of mine for car listening for a while. He has always been unabashedly pro Nebraska. I think it’s just a result of him coming of age career wise when we were such a force. 

 
Seemed like Rome had Pelini on his show two/three times a year. Only heard Riley on once, BC never(?)...

I’m confident Rome is a ‘Sker guy. Omaha was one of the first affiliates when he started out in the 90’s.

 
This was a genuine conversation, Frost acknowledging that he was emotional,  telling his (UCF) players ‘goodbye’ and his players respecting and understanding, even encouraging him to go back to Lincoln. 

Not exaggerating when I say I got goosebumps listening. Definitely a leader of men.

I stand corrected. Crazy, as the whole thing seems entirely contrived and fake.

Rome gained notoriety in 1994 for an incident on his ESPN2 show, Talk2, when his guest was NFL quarterback Jim Everett. Rome previously referred to Everett as "Chris" (after Chris Evert, the female tennis player), suggesting that Everett was less than a man whenever he shied away from getting hit. Everett appeared as a guest on the show and warned Rome about repeating the insult. Rome continued to address Everett as "Chris" and Everett overturned the table between them and shoved Rome to the floor while still on the air. Their confrontation resulted in no legal action, although Rome publicly apologized to Everett. Rome considers that event one of his early career mistakes.[8]

Personally I think his respect for Nebraska stems from the knowledge and skills of the callers from "Bugaha".  He is a coneseuer of smack-talk.
