"Winning the north isn't exactly a good way to compare achievements of the current team to past teams."
it's the first place to start and it does infact, show positive improvement. With the way franmk left things, nobody weas thinking nc in 3 years.
"Total wins and Big XII/National Championship appearances are."
and those things are now going to be the norm for nebraska. Like it or not, the road to the dr pepper game leads through lincoln, just like it used to for the north teams
"When does Callahan break 10 wins? When does he win the Big XII? When does he get Nebraska back to a national championship game?"
sooner than any of his division opponets ever will
"Solich was able to do all those things."
only with osbornes players, when they ran out he couldn't do jack
"He won at least ten games per season regularly(even the season he was fired.)"
not true.
" He won the Big XII in 1999. He got the huskers back to a national championship game in 2001."
won it in 99 with osbornes players, and he didn't so anything to get us to the nc game uin 99. it was a flaw in the bcs computer system which has since been fixed
"'Despite great recruiting, Callahan has continued to underachieve. "
all he has done is improve. you act like he has been there 6 years. for what he inherited we are right on track.
"He's also broken many streaks that spanned over several different past coaches at NU(consecutive bowl games, ku, etc.) "
so did frank, what is your point?
"Now think. Would Solich have won the north by now considering how weak the north division is? 'DUH. And he'd have kept the streaks in tact as well as gathering more total wins."
no, he wouldn't have. frank did nothing but put the program into a bigger hole every year and with his recruiting and stubborness it wasn't changing. I know, I know you wouldl; ove to have frank back but it aint happening. the only reason for the 9 wins his last year was a flukish amount of turnovers our defense got that allowed us to sneak by many teams tyhat otherwise would have beat us. Frank averaged 24 points per hgame that year, good for about 90th in the nation on offense
"It's a joke how husker fans magically think they're making progress and are "coming back." Not even close. They're not even at the level of where they were when they fired their last coach."
so, we aren't making prgress? we didn't win the north last year or win more games than the first year? hmm, I thought we did. oh well. guess you learn something new on the ksu board every day
