This explains all the confusion about this game. Apparently we had previously been under the impression that the players could just vote not to go.

Kind of upset that Nelson didn’t wear his cowboy hat.

I can relate. Cashier at McDonald's asked my 11 year old daughter what she did to get grandpa to take her for ice cream.

Nebraska head coach Scott Frost, EDGE Garrett Nelson, tight end Travis Vokolek, and cornerback Quinton Newsome kicked off the 2022 Big Ten Media Days in Indianapolis on Tuesday morning.
Here is a quick rundown of what Frost had to say during his interview session at Lucas Oil Stadium…
***Frost said Nebraska’s fall camp schedule was designed to maximize the time NU had leading up to its trip to Ireland, providing ample opportunity for rest and recovery between practices.
***Frost said quarterback Casey Thompson (thumb) and left tackle Teddy Prochazka (knee) were both “full go and will be ready to go” for the start of fall camp.
***In opening the season with a trip to Ireland, Frost said the Huskers needed to “handle it well,” “be mature,” and approach the game “as a business trip.” He stressed that NU wasn’t looking at it as a bowl trip. “We didn’t earn a bowl trip,” Frost said.
***Frost said he would wait as long as possible to release a two-deep depth chart going into Week 0.
***With all of the one-score losses last season, Frost said Nebraska needed to develop “a killer instinct” and “ability to finish games” in all three phases. Frost said special teams were obviously a priority, but beyond that, it was a matter of NU developing a “mentality” to win those games.
***Frost said the player leadership this season was as good, if not the best, he’d seen since taking over at Nebraska. He said Nelson might be the best leader NU has had “in a long time.”
***On what makes Nelson such a good leader, Frost said the junior was “a little crazy” - in a good way - and had taken the reins and stepped up as one of the best vocal leaders on the roster.
***Frost said he didn’t pay attention to the talk about his job security, saying there was pressure at every program in the country like Nebraska.
***Frost was very complimentary of new offensive line coach Donovan Raiola. Frost said Raiola's emphasis on attacking and blocking techniques was precisely what he wanted from the unit. He praised Raiola for developing a “brotherhood” within the o-line.
***Frost talked a lot about his role with the offense after adding new offensive coordinator Mark Whipple. He said his involvement has “changed a bit” because he trusts Whipple to handle more day-to-day responsibilities.
He admitted he was a little “sad” to relinquish some of the control, but Frost said the offense would still be “a collaboration” on offense.
***On the recent comments made by Pittsburgh coach Pat Narduzzi regarding Whipple’s commitment to the running game, Frost said Pitt had one of the top offenses in the country last season. So if Nebraska scored that many points this year, he didn’t care if they ran, passed, or kicked it.
***Frost confirmed that Thompson would take the first reps with the top offense on the opening day of fall camp, but other quarterbacks would also get first-team reps and compete for the starting job.
***Frost complimented the Big Ten’s leadership for being “proactive” in the changing landscape of college athletics with conference expansion. He added that he didn’t expect the changes weren't done yet.
***Frost said Turner Corcoran could play all five spots on the offensive line if needed, and they would likely work him at multiple spots during fall camp.
***Frost said Bryce Benhart had benefitted from working with Raiola as much as anyone on the offensive line. Frost said he’d seen Benhart make “some huge improvements” over the spring and summer.
***Frost said the most noticeable difference he expects from the offensive line under Raiola would be how they “come off the ball,” especially in the running game.
***Frost said defensive lineman transfer Devin Drew was still finishing up academic work at Texas Tech and would be in Lincoln with the Huskers “very soon after we start” camp.
***Other player leaders Frost had seen emerge this offseason besides the three Media Days attendees included Nick Henrich, Luke Reimer, Trent Hixson, Alante Brown, and Myles Farmer, among others.
***Frost said Ochaun Mathis may have been a little “surprised” with how much work NU put into the weight room when he first got here this summer. But with Mathis, Nelson, Caleb Tannor, and other guys like Blaise Gunnerson and Jimari Butler, the EDGE position might be one of the top strengths on the entire team now.
***With his new role since Whipple’s arrival, Frost said he’d been able to be in the locker room, and weight room more often than in years past and spend more time with the defensive and special teams coaches. He also has been able to get out around the state more and spend time with supporters of the program.
He made it clear that he never wanted to become just “a figurehead,” so he’d always been heavily involved. But now he’ll “have my hands on everything (with the offense). Now there are just more things I’ll get to touch.”
***Frost said he worked with quarterback Chubba Purdy a bit this summer on his mechanics and saw very good progress. Frost said Purdy looked good this spring once he got healthy and expected him to compete for the No. 1 job in camp.

He walks to the mic with school fight song playing.
He eschews opening statement and goes straight to questions.
He emphasizes that Nebraska WAS competitive last season.
He reiterates Nebraska is close to getting over hump. He's consistent in that sort of answer. Has been since last season.
Integrating new players is clearly a priority. One of the biggest challenges facing the staff.
Turd, by the way, is looking on as Frost speaks.
Frost expects Nebraska to be one of best NIL programs in the country. He's been consistent in that message as well.
Frost talks about Turd Alberts and the fact he and Turd are both ex-Huskers. "It's been a good collaboration," Frost says.
He's asked about college football playoff expansion. He said he's sure "it'll land in a good place."
"Personally, I'd love to see it expand a little bit."
Having more teams in the playoff can help the game, but expansion has to be done intelligently, he said.
What can be done to reverse the close losses into wins?
"It'd be easy if it was one thing," he said. But it often was something different in each game, he said.
A stronger killer instinct would help, he said.
He said special teams has been an emphasis. He believes the specialists should be better and overall team athleticism should help coverage units.
He said he'll still have his hand in the offense, but will be able to step away more easily to focus on other aspects of the team.
Dang Ol' Sip must of had a tear in his eye when he was watching Frost speak.

If we didn't get Wynn I'd have been more worried. We've got enough in the bag to get through the first few games and make sure he's up to speed.
