Things are going so poorly for Scott Frost and Nebraska that even fast food chains are trolling them.
That loud thud you heard earlier this afternoon was Nebraska hitting rock bottom. The Cornhuskers lost 56-10 to Michigan to fall to 0-3 on the season. This marks the worst start for the once-dominant powerhouse since 1945 and the expectations for the first year under Scott Frost have been lowered.
Things were expected to be a bit of a work in progress in his first year back in Lincoln, but I don’t think the die-hard faithful anticipated things being this bleak. Nebraska fans are among the best in college athletics so they’re not ready to jump ship or call for Frost’s head.
But the same can’t be said for a particular Twitter account with a penchant for handing out knockout blows on social media.
The Wendy’s Twitter account had a little fun at Frost’s expense when they sent out this tweet for Nebraska fans who may need a sweet treat to get their minds off that rout at the hands of Jim Harbaugh’s Wolverines.
Sure, there were some ruffled feathers from Nebraska fans who weren’t in the mood for jokes after the one-sided loss, but most of them took it in stride and laughed it off. Heck, a frosty is only 50 cents at your local Wendy’s so it’s the perfect sweet treat to cool you off after sitting in the stands for a Saturday afternoon.
And with so many options on their 4 for $4 meal, it’s such an economical choice when deciding where to eat your next meal.
Things will get better for Frost and Nebraska in the future but make no mistake, this was about as bad as it’s gonna get this year. Although, Ohio State looms large on the schedule so be aware of more carnage from Wendy’s that could be coming after that bloodbath.
