Corn Nation on Nebbie Loss to UCLA

[GopherTheJugular]

The leash on coaches has already gotten stupid short in a lot of cases.

Which makes me wonder how Norvell still has his job at FSU. It'd be one thing if they were trying to hold together a top recruiting class, but his class is falling apart, so I have no clue what keeps him there.

I mean he won 23 games the prior 2 years and has a massive buyout

Maybe Nebby makes a bowl game on academics...

Is there a way Wisconsin and Nebraska can tie, thereby denying both teams bowl eligibility?

That is my wish.

I figured a buyout had to be in there somewhere. But still, this is pretty bad. 1-8 with a likely loss coming up?

Maybe there was some serious injury or something that I didn't know about. But I thought it was just poor play when they started out the season losing. Could be wrong.

I was thinking the same thing, but with the stupid overtime rules.... Maybe if the game gets cancelled or something and they can't work out a rematch?

No they’ve just sucked and it’s a poorly constructed roster that lost a ton of talent coupled with guys seeming to have given up on the season. His seat will definitely be scorching next year

You trot this insane garbage out every so often, while ignoring that there are multiple Division I teams in other sports in Nebraska, including specifically Creighton basketball, which is annually among the most competitive teams in the country.

It is also gleefully ignorant of the fact that, depending where they live in the state, a Nebraska resident can drive for 2-2.5 hours (or less) on the interstate and attend home games being played by the Chiefs, Broncos, Royals, Rockies, Nuggets, Avalanche - hell, even Kansas or Kansas St., among others. No competition, indeed.

Someone living in Falls City, NE has a shorter drive to Arrowhead than a person living in Duluth has to Huntington Bank. But I'm sure you already knew that, because you're so astute.

Try holding Gophers teams accountable for their performance instead of whining that they may have to compete a little.

I understand the argument you're trying to make. But...

Does Nebraska have a population outside of Lincoln and Omaha? (Being facetious here, but not really)

Do you think anyone in Lincoln cares about Creighton basketball? (Probably could find a handful of people I guess)

There probably are a lot of fans driving to Lincoln on a Saturday from long distances to see the Huskers play. My ignorance about the population density and demographics will likely show here, but I'd infer 90% of people attending Husker games are traveling less than an hour. And I don't think Creighton/ Nebraska basketball, or Nebraska volleyball, or anything else is taking focus away from Husker football. To say that the Vikings, Timberwolves, and Wild are taking focus away from focus on Gopher football is not much of a stretch of the imagination for me.
