I hadn't realized until Callahan's article this morning how much of a failure Big Red Blitz was (2 Viewers)

Frost only drew 60 people? Some crowds were less than 20? I know you have sunshine pumpers trying to talk about bad promotion and/or it taking place during business hours, but come on. Those numbers have to mean something else, don't they? I can't imagine coaches ever drawing such a paltry showing. What are you guys hearing or thinking?

If you look at Deab’s comments in that thread one can also learn that:
1. Deab is a better marketer than UNL
2. He gains more attention at events than Frost himself.

You shouldn't be surprised. I am the best thing to happen to sports media since the post game press conference.

Sean outdraws Frost? Where is this article?

Frost cant be feeling great about that.

It’s how I read his 2nd or 3rd comment on the board when responding to the article he wrote this morn.

Thanks. Just read it.

Sean showing no mercy in those comments. Probably won't earn him Gerrod's favor unless he is angling for a job in North Stadium running the PR machine up there.

Something tells me this is a result of just incompetent planning, community engagement, Covid changing some people’s lifestyles, all wrapped up with a bit of a lack of excitement for 2021.

What was the event? This is the first I've heard of it

Callahan eyeing to become Frost’s replacement.

Rise to Power takes a quick left turn... will Clouse be there to wreck his dreams though?

Callahan eyeing to become Frost’s replacement.

He’s, at best, the third most popular Dean (faux and black are 1 and 2).

We've had four straight losing seasons. Four straight years without a bowl game. Nebraska fans are some of the most loyal fans anywhere, but even the most diehard fans have got to be suffering from a case of fandom PTSD with how the offseason is going. Lots of culture talk, weightroom videos, a few hyped transfers...only to be let down in the fall. It all feels so cyclical. At some point I think people just step off the hamster wheel because they don't have the emotional energy to invest anymore and are just waiting for the shoe to drop. My gut tells me that is where most fans are right now.

“The first time I did something like this was out in Columbus, and I think there were about 4,000 people there,” Frost said. “This tells me I better start winning. I’m starting to feel like the Charlie Daniels Band. He used to be really big, and now he plays at county fairs.”

Sean outdraws Frost? Where is this article?

It's probably true. I once saw them talking with each other at Hy-Vee when someone approached me and asked "Who is that man talking to Sean Callahan?"

 

[huskerj12]

Whoa was that a real quote??

 

[jw3]

how many times in that thread can Dean mention how many people his events bring in? I fucking adore that little guy.

or the hastings blitz is at lochland of all places….no youre not drawing a 4pm crowd there

 

[Mavsker]

Whoa was that a real quote??

Yeah that's a quote from Frost in Kearney, as quoted by Sean in his weekly rundown article. Apparently there were ~60 there to see Frost in Kearney. Sean clarified seven or eight times in the discussion thread that he regularly draws many times that amount for his events.
