The first two years are what all the broadcasts, all the articles have concentrated on.
At Baylor first two years = 8 wins
Indiana doing what they are doing May shorten the leash on a number of coaches.
Can’t stand Nebby, but I would gleefully wear that sweater - so obnoxious it’s coolCorn Nation guy is back in despair mode as Cornhuskers lose, at home, to UCLA. Love this guy. Sorry, but the You Tube video (version I saw) contains a short political commercial.
The landscape of college football has flipped to a completely different model than what Ruhle won with at Temple and Baylor. Not to say he won’t turn things around and win at NEB, but, especially in this new world, past performance is no guarantee of future success.
Didn’t say it was. I agree with you.
Gophers fans in the 1960s were in mourning as the team won a national title and multiple Big Ten titles? That would've been bizarre!
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.
Actually, since Nebraska is now 27 years removed from their last national title and 25 years removed from their most recent conference title, I was going to say that late 1980s/early 1990s would've been more appropriate.
Yeah, I don't get it either. It's like those videos where some guy smashes a TV after his team loses. Nine times out of ten, it's filmed after the fact while watching a replay and the guy is smashing a 15-year old RCA he was going to replace anyway.
They are typical passive-aggressive Midwesterners. Nice to your face, not so nice at a distance.
The leash on coaches has already gotten stupid short in a lot of cases. In regards to Indiana though, they have to prove they can sustain it before it will have any massive impact on anything. They may have caught lighting in a bottle this year with some transfers that really hit combined with a soft schedule.....sustaining it though will be the real trick.
It’s funny, people on the coasts always say the same thing about Minnesota and I always think, I am just fine living in MN and not in NYC or LA. You couldn’t get me to to move to those places. And then to see MN people saying the same thing to Nebraska people. And they I am sure are thinking the same thing.
Perhaps true but I do not find the same disparity among other midwestern fan bases. The experience with other midwestern fans for me tends to be consistent regardless of in person or on line.
When I read the thread about the possible seedings for the CFP, I was surprised to see the .403 opponents' winning percentage for the Hoosiers. That is the definition of soft. Not saying they haven't played well and don't deserve to be where they are, but their road hasn't had a ton of speed bumps.
Indiana is having a really good year and I think they are a quality team but just how good they actually are remains to be seen and we really won't find out until they go to Columbus on the 23rd to take on Ohio State. That will be their only real chance to prove they belong among the playoff contenders but at this point it looks like they are going to snag one of the 12 spots.
Have a nice day.
Disagree. The beginning of the end for Nebraska was when they lost their ability to take academically marginal recruits who couldn’t go to Big Ten and many other schools. Tom Osborne fought hard to keep this advantage because he knew what it meant. As Mike Farrell recently wrote:
For ugly sweater day?
I would wear that constantly - its a conversation starter.
What is funny is they are at the bottom of the Big Ten academically. This is especially true in regards to research. So what exactly do they bring to the table?
Yup, Nebraska feasted on partial/nonqualifier recruits. Big 8 was the only conference that allowed giving scholarships to these players. That ended in 94, Osborn conveniently retired a couple of years later.
