Lets Not Forget

No.

Read the post again. The part that says "this game was good for the program." 

According to my intel, the OP was considerably more positive than a lot of the post-game chatter, and 100% more positive than the pre-game chatter. 

And I'll just go ahead and stop mincing words: 

The University of Nebraska looked into the possibility of replacing Oklahoma with an 8th home game. Scott Frost knew about it. When the exploratory venture leaked, it was bad PR for the program. The idea was dropped and statements to that effect were issued. 

Conventional wisdom around here said the Oklahoma bloodbath was going to be bad for the program. Turns out it was good for the program. 

Get upset with whomever you want. I'm actually feeling better moving forward.

So, why do we need to remember it?

A lesson we don’t even know the real story of. 
 

why exactly again in a week when there’s so many good things to talk about?

One last time:

This IS a good thing.

Fans thought it was going to be a bloodbath. Thought it might further embarrass the program. Many on here agreed it would be nice to ditch Oklahoma for a sure W that might nurse Scott Frost to six wins and a bowl game. If it makes you feel better, I apologize for thinking Scott Frost might be one of those people. Whatever you think about the controversy, it brought the non-con issue into focus. 

I wanted to stop and acknowledge that stepping up to the big game challenge was a bigger positive for the program than notching another Fordham win. Turns out the person who got the Huskers up for that game was Scott Frost. 

You try to put a pin in this stuff because it comes up every year and people forget it.

There are some genuinely revisionist and less-than-positive posts currently trending on HuskerBoard if you want to mosey over there.
