The Message Board Fallacy

[BluesBucksNHuskers]

Even before the OSU moral victory, I’ve had a few people give me the take “Well we should give him more time, do you know how many years it took TO to get his first national championship?”

To which I always responded “How many losing seasons did TO have?”

And the response was either, “Well the big 10 is tougher than the Big8” and “We’ll TO took a team from Delaney, Frost took a team from Mike Riley”.

So I agree, I think we’re going to have to deal with some staff shakeups and this whole rodeo with Frost again next year

Thanks for reminding people of how above it you are, and superior to the rest of us.

I love when people like him consider themselves so above the fray but lack of self awareness to realize how douchey they come off.

Has mini SIA apologized to you yet since you were right and he was wrong? This is the only way to make it right.

I bet if someone did a document request under the freedom of information act we'd find out that he is sponsored by Summer's Eve.

Turd better consider how difficult it was to keep the sellout streak this year… and then realize how impossible it will be next year. It will get bad.

For every person who shares your opinion and says stuff like “if Frost is retained I am done with Husker football,” there is another that says “if Frost is fired I am done with Husker football.” I don’t think a decision on Frost moves the needle much in terms of the sellout streak.

Again, we all think we are in the majority depending upon where we get our information. But someone has to be wrong.

I think the much more douchey thing is going to be when Frost isn’t fired (a scenario that id bet ends up playing out as it stands currently) watching this board freak out and talk about the exact same 3 things all off-season. Then it will have officially regressed to the mean.

I think there has been legit evidence to support one of those scenarios this year. Literally pulling tooth and nail trying to salvage the streak…

I don't think it's a "message board fallacy" at all. I have a couple of buddies that aren't on message boards, but think Frost should be done. I have another friend that is an Cockeye fan - he laughs at the idea that Nebraska will likely retain Frost for another year.

I think the retain-Frost crowd is made up of two people - casual fans and people who have lost all objectivity because they want Frost to succeed. Just my thoughts...

Has been for a looong time. More people are just noticing now

I’m not everyone’s cup of tea. Sorry that I’ve rubbed you the wrong way in the past. Have a good rest of your weekend.

Nope. I’m not good enough yet to drop that type of money. Getting better though!

I can’t help but notice how passive aggressive the anti True Colors folks in this thread are. Very effeminate on their part.

I don't live in Nebraska currently. All of the CFB fans I interact with straight up pity us and think we should've dumped Frost last year. Nebraska fans are just blinded by their love for Frost and refuse to acknowledge the reality of the situation.

Its pointless to engage directly. I wasted time over on the scrolls trying the direct and open discussion route. If anyone acts like a woman its the "guy" who never man's up on all the topics she's been wrong about. All of her posts are low level passive aggressive attempts to troll. I get it, you all are super happy that we get one more year of the same just because Frost. Lets all hope your smug satisfaction is justified in a year.

Did you start sliding up a box or add a couple more hybrids?

You are openly admitting that you are unwilling and incapable of engaging people directly. Direct communication being the masculine form of communication. Instead, you immediately engage in low level passive aggressive trolling, whilst accusing others of doing the same, which is a feminine form of communication. And in your final two sentences of this post, you attempt to engage in some form of psychologizing/mind reading, which are also common forms of communication used by women.

Some of you people need to put down the whiskey and take a deep breath. This is a message board for God's sake, and we are discussing SPORTZ BALL. This stuff is meaningless in the grand scheme of things.

Why are you posting if you feel the way you do in your last sentence?
