Nebraska's struggle for relevance.

[HugeCat]

Question for those of you living in Northeast Kansas. How has the recent futility of Nebraska football affected the combo Nebraska football/Jayhawk basketball fandom?

[purrkatz]

I saw a couple Cernhocks at Aldi on Satuday morning begging for a cart quarter. Guy had on a Crouch jersey and a '22 KU Natty Punkin' Pushin' hat on. I honestly think they're still riding the high off the Natty.

I can’t tell you how much this bothered me as a little kid in elementary school.

Wrong thread for this, but I’m more triggered by people who graduated from KSU but are KU basketball fans.

First line in Frost's current wikipedia entry:

Scott Andrew Frost (born January 4, 1975) is an American football coach and former player. He is the head football coach at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln (until October 1, 2022, when his buyout is cut in half).

From the facebooks [does it get more facebook-y than self-identifying as a "momma bear" in your post]:

Anchoring Hope for Mental Health: Jeremy & Bailey Koch

We Husker fans need to do better.
We are all the talk right now in college football, and it's not positive attention.
But I'm not here to complain about Frost, the players, the staff, the program, the way it once was...
I'm here as a genuine concerned fan.
A bit of a momma bear if you will.
As a college instructor, I am with 18 to 22 year olds daily.
These. Are. Kids.
Trust me, they think they're adults. Remember when you did too at their age? How'd that go for ya?
You are tearing these kids up game after game, expectation after expectation, pressure after pressure.
And now, we've managed to put a man's job, one he loves, respects, and works his butt off for, on the literal shoulder pads of 18 to 22 year olds.
Step up, Husker fans.
There has been a fall from grace, but it's not only on the shoulders of this coach, these kids, or this program.
It's on us, too.
So we either learn how to cheer louder, in both wins and losses, or continue watching the weight of the world crush a program we all love so much.
Let's take on some blame and become the world's greatest fans once again.
Go Big Red.
Nebraska Huskers

I frick'n knew it; it's been the fans' fault all along.

Only got one thing to say to Nubb fans; shut the eff up and eat your corn.  Also, your crybaby attitude is destroying my entertaining and delicious meal.

I was in elementary school in the early 90s in Salina. We had 4-5 kids in my grade that were KU BB/Nub FB/Bulls/Cowboys fans. I still hate them.

[MadCat]

I imagine a lot of them just convert to Chiefs\KU BB fans.

Mike Riley was fired after 3 seasons with a 19-19 record. Scott Frost is in his 5th season and he still hasn't won 19 games.

Wow talk about signs of getting old. I seriously thought Frost was still in the “installing his system” phase but he’s already graduated his own HS recruits! How on earth are most NEB fans apparently as apathetic about their program as I am?

[MakeItRain]

What happened with Bo? Was it related to Carl?

Fans were spelling his name with 3 Ls because he was good for three losses every year. Also, he was a pants-pissing piece of crap who couldn't get along with anyone.

Yeah, he didn't get fired because of wins and losses, he got fired because he was a piece of crap. Not in the dumb meathead way that frost is but like real in the field sociopath. He was costing them games by himself getting unsportsmanlike penalties and he was awful to people in ACA around the program and the school. Yeah, he was winning but that was unsustainable, they were headed for a crash. The Mike Riley hire was terrible and everyone knew it at the time. I think we're all somewhat surprised at how terrible frost has been. I never bought in to him bringing them back, like many here did, but I didn't think he'd be the worst coach in program history.

I can see why they got rid of Bo. Frank Solich was the one that really put their karma out of balance.

I feel bad for Jerry Garcia. He's got a point about Northwestern deciding to run every time in the 4th quarter because Nebraska quit/was soft. Same crap happened to us against NDSU in 2013

[Rage Against the McKee]

I thought Northwestern refusing to throw was a good strategy to lose a game like that, except that Nebraska was awful enough to not be able to take advantage.

Coaches also mumped that game up like Nebraska in Saturday. Decided that even though it was 105 they weren’t going to sub on D the whole game. 

I really hated that early 2010s Snyder philosophy of “give the O & D 30% of the playbook with no subs & if they lose I’ll just blame it on the players.”
