I was a student at DONU when Gill, Rozier, and Fryer were tearing it up. I have to disagree here. TF led his teams to two nattys and came within a makeable 45 yard field goal of three staight. Teammates would say yes he was an a## but he was their a##. Tom Brady, MJ, Kobe, and Terry Bradshaw were not super loved but teammates loved the titles and notoriety that came with it. Tommy admitted in interviews he was not trying to be anyones friend.
There he is!!!
I don’t think it was Tommy being a leader that got them those championships, I think it was an incredibly strong roster, both mentally and physically, on both sides of the ball. Tommy sulking on the sidelines when we had to gut it out against CU or KSU wasn’t leadership. And you might want to chat with some of the guys privately about who they wanted to play harder for. TF was a heck of a player, but being a prick, no matter how talented, doesn’t make people want to play harder for you, it actually takes stronger personalities to look past that, and we were fortunate to have those types of people playing on a team with TF. Had we not, the season would have failed, so I credit those players easily as much as I do Tommy.
In Saint PaulNot true.
Every other year Nebraska shows up,or not

The oddest thing just happened, as I’m sitting here watching the kindergarten cop, I decided to open HuskerMax and see what’s new. And the first Gif I saw was this one. I think I may go play the lottery.
Maybe in 94 we don’t win it but we would’ve in 95. I don’t necessarily think he was a good teammate or even likef but he was probably pretty well respected for his talent. I agreed with Lars because I think the players would’ve rather played for Brook and he didn’t behave like a team player when he got benched. That’s why I was so proud of how Adrian Martinez took his benching in 2020. With that being said his talent was undeniable.
Piggybacking on what @HuskerNash said, 95 wasn’t reliant on TF, and while he had some big moments in 94 late against Miami, was that his superior leadership, or was that the intense pounding the line and Phillips and company put on them?
I honestly cannot believe the Tommie bashing here, and especially the revisionist history. Look, I met Tommie at a Hy Vee on a Sunday morning. Was he kind? Nope! Did he answer my question? Yep. Did he shake my hand? Yep! Did he have to? Nope! Does it matter? 1000% NO.

I love Brook, but holy cow. No way win win those NC's without Tommie either year. There is a reason Tommie was the starter. There was a reason Tommie was so sought after. There was a reason TO said:
From the archives: Tommie Frazier's surprise signing provided a Big Red boost — and shocked his own mother
On Feb. 4, 1992, a young quarterback from Bradenton, Florida, shocked the nation — and his own mother — when he chose to become a Husker.omaha.com
I found this in like 2 seconds. You know, you all should read this article because times haven't really changed as much as one might think. I am sure I could find many quotes from TO that support my words here, but does it really matter? Frazier is nationally known as one of the greatest college QB's of all time and I have to argue that on a nebraska forum with people who probably loved the firing of Frank and the adoration of Billy C. It sickens me, quite frankly. Frazier was about as great as you can get. I call BS on your opinion, quite objectively. And if I stand alone in my support of Frazier's history, so be it. Flame away.
I wasn't saying you were a blasphemous Husker fan.
In fact, I wasn't even referencing your post at all. I did notice that you preferred Gill, tho. I understand. I was on the fence with that myself, but I'm assuming you saw previous post as to what led me to my current conclusion. What a joy to have had them both, wasn't it?
