So, last night, i went to dinner after work with a co-worker out here in PA. This co-worker has told me on a number of occasions that she follows the Huskers because her dad was stationed at Offut when she was in grade school.
Me: You heard that Nebraska has a new football coach by now, right?
Her: OMG, REALLY? What happened to the old one!??
Me: He was terrible and they fired him.
Her: Was everyone shocked?!!!
Me: No - most of us wanted it that way.
Her: Where'd they get the new coach from?
Me: UCF - they were undefeated last year, after being winless 2 years ago.
Her: Oh, well then he'll turn it around for Nebraska, too, then. I know they didnt do very well last year.
Me: It's Scott Frost
Her: <blank stare>
Me: He was the QB for the 1997 National Championship team
Food arrives, subject changed to "oh, that looks good"
I didn't expect her to know every detail, but as a self-proclaimed follower of the Huskers, you'd think she'd at least have known there was a new coach.
