Steven M. Sipple: Excitement of Frost's hire distorted reality of mess he inherited

My job is to try to make sense of the world, particularly the world of Nebraska football.

Sometimes I look to other writers (or bloggers) for wisdom.

"I long for the days when the characteristics of the Nebraska team we put on the field on Saturdays exemplified the characteristics of the hard-working people of our state," Scott Frost wrote in a blog post in 2005, a year before he became a graduate assistant at Kansas State.

Don't stop me if you've already read his bit of wisdom. It's applicable today.

"We used to have the Taj Mahal of college football programs," Frost wrote then.
