LINCOLN, Neb. -- Scott Frost just wanted some wings.
Easier said than done, of course, for the celebrated, first-year Nebraska football coach, basking in the 36-week-long glow spawned by his hire nine days after Thanksgiving of last year. For more than eight months, the people of this state have counted the days -- minutes, in fact -- until Sept. 1, when Frost is set to run through the tunnel at Memorial Stadium before the 362nd consecutive sellout at this proud place.
They also counted the days until Frost's first open-to-the-public scrimmage, for which the announced crowd of 86,818 shattered a Nebraska spring-game attendance record in April.
