Alternatively, be Minnesota and people don't care and we're well on our way to checking that box

Maybe Benhart will learn how to bend a little if he's having to puke all the time...

I think you're missing the point. It's not about if they puked or not, it's about the head man saying dumb shit to the media. Nobody cares if it was some joke meant to be funny, it was still dumb as fuck and got national attention for precisely that reason.
Frost's record is a big enough disaster, we don't need him hopping up to the podium saying stuff like this.

If you listened to it on the show it definitely sounded like he was just making some shit up. I still hate how he talks in absolutes like “best we’ve ever had” or “they’re doing “X” as well as I’ve ever seen”, “more guys that love football than we’ve had.” Those phrases piss me off way more

Fair point but it was said on a radio show that Harold in Aurora listens to on his tractor at night, only blew up because of the way Sam titled his tweet, he knew what he was doing.

Or at least make it an obvious joke. Like literally say "I'm just kidding. Nobody is actually puking."

That's like blaming a snitch for the crime instead of the criminal

We also need to consider if this is strategy. If a Defensive End beats you around the corner, just projectile vomit on them. They will either be so grossed out they stop, or they’ll slip and fall in the mess. Giving CT valuable seconds

Sip on damage control, craziest part of this is that Sip was an athlete?
Nebraska coach Scott Frost said during an appearance on Husker Sports Nightly on Thursday that Donovan Raiola has his offensive lineman working hard.
Really hard.
"I laugh with the guys because there's about probably 15 to 20 vomits every day from the offensive line," Frost said. "It's not because they're not in shape. He's just working them hard. I think they love it."
I covered this radio appearance, but didn't hear that particular comment -- perhaps because I was hurriedly writing a story about Frost naming Casey Thompson as his starting quarterback for the Aug. 27 opener against Northwestern in Ireland.
However, I did immediately notice Frost's offensive linemen-vomiting comment because it was being tweeted by colleagues, and I have a confession to make.
I didn't think much about it. Maybe that's because I'm 56 and was sort of an athlete in my junior high and high school years, and later was a fairly serious runner.
Vomiting during or after workouts wasn't exactly foreign to me. It didn't happen regularly, but it happened.
I recall vomiting after a few long days of detasseling in 90-plus degree heat as a high school kid.
There's something else to consider here.
Times have changed, I know. I confess to being tone deaf at times. It's something I probably need to watch more closely, as this is the second instance in the past month that I failed to recognize a story that might blow up into something bigger than I could've imagined.
The other instance was "Opening Statement-gate." I was at Big Ten Media Days in Indianapolis. I saw first-hand Frost decline the opening statement. It never occurred to me at any moment that Frost skipping an opening statement would become a major story in our realm.
I criticize Frost plenty. He knows it. But it never for a second occurred to me to take him to task for failing to make an opening statement.
A David Feherty quote comes to mind here. The 63-year-old Feherty recently left the PGA Tour for LIV Golf, and talked about one reason why.
It was a reason that struck a chord with me.
“An opportunity to be myself again,” Feherty told the Toledo Blade. “It’s become more and more difficult, especially in sports broadcasting, to have any kind of character. Charles Barkley can say pretty much anything he wants, because it’s, ‘oh, that’s just Charles.’ And it is just Charles. But I have become more and more guarded over the last few years. There are people waiting around every corner hoping to be offended by something."
Bottom line, I wasn't offended by what Frost said Thursday. My first thought was that he was probably exaggerating.
My second thought was these are 300-plus pounders who are told to drink a ton of water before practice and maybe that becomes an issue at times.
Something else comes to mind. I've covered Nebraska football for a quarter-century and have always been impressed by the importance the program places on player safety. Frost just last week noted that all of his offensive linemen go through all practices wearing GPS devices to track workload.
Frost cares about his players. I have zero doubt about that.
At any rate, the fact I wasn't offended (or didn't see the red flags) I'm sure will draw harsh rebuke from certain quarters of the population.
Maybe there's good news in all this.
Harsh rebuke has lost a lot of bite because there's so much of it these days and it's so visible.
Have at it. Enjoy the day

Crowd : Lardass! Lardass!
Lardass Hixson : Done!
[Lardass prepares to dive into his sixth OL drill, but then his stomach starts rumbling]
Slowly, a sound started to build in Lardass' stomach. A strange and scary sound, like a log truck coming at you at a hundred miles-an-hour. Suddenly, Lardass opened his mouth, and before Coach Raiola knew it...
[Lardass barfs all over RG Broc Bando]
: ... he was covered with five pies worth of used blueberries. The media in the audience screamed. LG Turner Corcoran took one look at LT Teddy Prochazca and barfed on RT Bryce Benhart. RT Bryce Benhart barfed on the RB that was next to him. Coach Frost barfed on his wife's tits! But when the smell hit the crowd, that's when Lardass' plan really started to work. Cheerleaders barfed on boyfriends. Kids barfed on their parents. A fat lady barfed in her purse. Sharpe and Benning barfed on each other, and the Waterboys barfed all over the Tradition Coalition . And Lardass just sat back and enjoyed what he'd created-a complete and total barf-o-rama!
