Nebraska played host to FOX College Football’s pregame show on Saturday before its game against Oklahoma.
The matchup was the first since Scott Frost was fired Sunday after going 16-31 as Cornhusker coach.
The timing could not have been more perfect — or awkward — in Lincoln as one of the people on the FOX panel was former successful college coach — and failure as an NFL head coach — Urban Meyer.
Before interim coach Mickey Joseph had a chance to take the field, the Cornhusker faithful were in full throat: “We want Urban.”
Some folks never learn.

Meyer imparted wisdom on what it is like to take over a program, too.

Garden hose? Fire hose? Meyer was doing nothing to douse the fans’ dreams of him as Cornhusker coach in 2023.
All love for @HuskerFBNation Head Coach Mickey Joseph ahead of today's game 🤝❤️ pic.twitter.com/lwRgew5QE5

The Cornhuskers scored first but Oklahoma responded with 28 straight points. That’s going to do nothing to quiet the throng.
