Colorado broke with the central time zone crowd and joined the west coast, fulfilling their yearning to be a coastal cultural oasis among frosted mountaintops.
Texas A&M showed that they could be courted and valued without Texas and found a cultural home for their angry East Texas militaristic traditions among the Confederate yearning of the Old South.
Missouri seemed to be searching for an identity and were open to adopting whichever identity was available. They began with important talk of their rightful place among the large public academic heavy weights of the Big Ten, then after turning tides, fully embraced the elite college football reputation of the SEC, even after being shoehorned in to the East division in a modern day Missouri Compromise.
The most successful and historic program that left the Big 12 was Nebraska. Their reasons for leaving were academic, cultural and athletic. They were upset with the power of Texas and the SWC voting bloc in the political machinations of the Big 12, they had largely lost ground competitively, and they felt stifled academically in the Big 12 among the land grants and the tier twos and wished to step up to the big time public ivies of the Big Ten.
Almost immediately there were obstacles: they were unceremoniously dumped by the AAU upon arrival to the Big Ten and were even voted out by some of their new colleagues, their football team continued to compete on the fringe of true national relevance, their cultural reputation now the hicks of the conference.
Nearly everything seems to be going right for the Husker football team. Nebraska currently has a legitimate Heisman contender on paper in Ameer Abdullah, a 7-1 team on track for a Big Ten title game berth and either a re-match against top 10 Michigan St or Ohio St. But on the national scene, Nebraska is an after thought.
Ranked 16th in the Coaches and 17th in the AP the Huskers must be shocked that no one seems to be paying them much mine. or perhaps they've become used to being out of the national eye, even accepted their new role as a national underdog after years of being despised as a national power.
Still it is hard to imagine that the Nebraska fan base does not notice that they are the 14th ranked one loss team in the coach's behind 4 SEC team and 3 Big 12 teams all with one loss. Perhaps most infuriating is that two loss LSU jumped Nebraska in the AP.
To complete the humiliation, Ameer Abdullah is not a top 5 Heisman candidate despite his FBS leading rushing numbers and highlight reel plays.
Like some Greek tragedy, Nebraska attempted to escape the shadow of Texas only to become even more irrelevant. The shadow of Texas has been replaced by the shadow of mediocrity offered by the Big Ten. the Big Ten is now widely seen as an inferior conference to the SEC, the PAC-12 and yes, the Big 12.
There may be escape from the droughts of the Texas sun, but there is no escape from the foul reputation of the ever expanding Big Ten. It is there that by choice the Cornhuskers till a barren field and a harvest of dust

On my way home from vision quest we decided to take I-80 across Nebraska while Nubb played @ Northwestern. 1) Wow what a pathetic game. The announcers were complaining about the refs and the field conditions, saying it was unfair. 2) Stopped in two gas stations along the way, never saw a single red N on anyone's shirt. And one gas station attendant saw my hat and said he likes K-State football. This is like 30 minutes from Lincoln. Like holy crap.York, NE is home to a few EMAWs.

Lady I work with has a Husker room dedicated to Nebraska memorabilia. A whole room in her house. Has always been a huge Nebraska football fan, we used to talk smack when Nebraska was in the Big 12. Talked to her at lunch today--she told me that Nebraska football wasn't interesting anymore, and won't watch a game this year. It makes me sad to see what the NU administration has done to this once proud Husker fan.
It's die hard t-shirt fans like this that Nebraska failed to account for when they went to the Big 10. These fans are not going to be replaced.

The Big 12 is the 2nd best conference.

Nebraska is a better fit geographically for the big 10.
What? NU is in the same conference as teams from OH, PA, NJ, and MD. The closest school is a few hours away.

Currently there are 11 teams averaging more than 40 points a game. Baylor sits at #1 with just over 50. There are three big 12 and three big ten teams in that 11. Not sure what you are referring to when you say "wide open" but I would think you mean high scoring so not much difference there.
There are 18 teams allowing 20 and under in Scoring defense. Of those teams there is one Big 12 team and five Big ten teams.
Sorry, I'd rather be part of a conference that has teams that score AND teams that can play D. That 62-58 circus between Baylor and TCU was a joke....don't want to be part of that kind of game ever.

On the old K-State fans site, in 2000, I predicted that Nebraska would fall into irrelevancy. My prediction was that K-State might actually win a conference championship and even a National Championship before Nebraska. In 2010, when Osborne and Pearlman decided to go to the Big 10, little did they realize they completed the final stages of the prophecy. In 2015, there will be graduating class at Nebraska that will have never experienced a championship, conference or national. We're only 6 wins left from winning the NC (note: I'm only focused on TCU at the moment.)
Let that sink in for a minute.

I'm guessing that this is the first time they have been 8-1 and not in the top 10. I mean, at least Texas is losing games and that's why they aren't ranked. Nub keeps winning and poll voters are like "Nope, they're not that good!" :ROFL:
Miami and McNeese State are the only two schools they have beaten with winning records. Miami is 6-3 and McNeese would have beat them if they would have just let Daniel play the whole game.

all we have to do to win a national championship is win at TCU, win at West Virginia, beat Kansas at home, win at Baylor, beat the #1 team in the country, then beat the #2 or #3 team in the country. that's it. let that sink in for a minute.agreed its a long shot... but by that logic..Nebraska has a muich easier path to winning out. ..... but I don't think they make the Top 4 with 1 loss. No voter would rank them above the other 1 loss teams in the Top 10... ... The Big 10 was just that crappy this year. But, I think Nebraska loses at Iowa anyway...

mocat is just being realistic fellas. If we beat TCU and WVU I'll start playing the what if gameI would be in Waco at the game with my dick out until i was subsequently punted in the junk again ala 2012.

Duke and Nebraska are basically the same program
Which is interesting because the ACC Coastal and Big 10 West are basically the same division.

Barfknecht: Gordon-led Badgers respond in a record way

Column by Lee Barfknecht / World-Herald staff writer | Updated 12 hours ago
MADISON, Wis. — NCAA football rushing history doesn’t come along often these days.
In an era when the forward pass is considered God’s gift to the game, running backs too often are relegated to change-of-pace or even decoy duty. Only one true tailback in this century has won the Heisman Trophy.
On Saturday, Wisconsin’s Melvin Gordon put himself in prime position to join Alabama’s Mark Ingram in 2009 on the winner’s list.
Gordon did more carrying a football in a single game during Saturday’s 59-24 drubbing of Nebraska than O.J. Simpson or Billy Sims or Earl Campbell or Archie Griffin or Mike Rozier or Bo Jackson or Barry Sanders or anybody from the rushing era.
“He’s the best of the best,” Wisconsin coach Gary Andersen said.
Look at those names again and understand what Gordon’s 408 yards on 25 carries — in only three quarters — means.
The junior from Kenosha, Wisconsin, wiped away the rushing mark of 406 yards set 15 years ago by TCU’s LaDainian Tomlinson. More importantly, note who Tomlinson’s record came against.
It was perennial pushover UTEP. In fact, most of the NCAA’s top 10 rushing efforts have come against piddling programs — now-defunct Pacific, Eastern Michigan twice, Akron and Missouri twice in the 1990s when the Tigers were toothless.
Gordon did it against Nebraska.
Yes, Nebraska, which entered the game 25th nationally in total defense and is a school so proud of its defensive heritage that it has a nationally known nickname of Blackshirts.
After Saturday’s utter mess, somebody needs to collect those sacred black practice jerseys and lock them up for as long as so-called defensive guru Bo Pelini is the head coach.
If you think that’s a minority opinion, round up the tweets of some former Huskers as the yardage meter spun faster and faster.
The only people who knew Gordon would get the ball a lot Saturday were the 80,539 people in Camp Randall Stadium and millions more watching on television.
Yet the 6-foot-1, 213-pounder still broke off single-play gains of 42, 62, 16, 39, 44, 43, 68 and 26 yards before jollying on the sideline for the entire fourth quarter.
That’s a sign of Gordon’s greatness, and a clanging alarm for anybody who thinks Nebraska football is either improving or nationally relevant (I’m talking to you, Athletic Director Shawn Eichorst).
The Blackshirts’ lone consolation prize was they almost made Gordon cry.
Early in the second quarter, with Nebraska leading 17-10, the Huskers forced and recovered a second fumble from Gordon. On the sideline, teammates and coaches tried to console him.
“I was just out of it,” he said. “We had the momentum. We were driving down the field. Losing the ball can really turn the game around. It was kind of depressing.”
The message was the Badgers still looked to Gordon to make game-changing plays despite the early adversity.
Ah, yes. Adversity.
“We’re coached to be ready for it,” Gordon said. That’s called “a money quote.”
How did Wisconsin respond after his second fumble?
The Badgers took the ball away from Nebraska I-back Terrell Newby four plays later, then scored again in two plays — a 39-yard burst from Gordon and 17-yard run from backup Corey Clement.
How did Nebraska respond to that tying touchdown? By turtling.
The Husker offense, on its next seven possessions, gained the following number of first downs: 0, 2, 1, 0, 0, 1 and 0. Wisconsin in that span went touchdown, punt, touchdown, touchdown, touchdown and touchdown.
Here comes another “money quote.”
“This team was ready for the moment,” UW’s Andersen said.
This nationally staged contest essentially was for a trip to the Big Ten championship game as the West Division representative and a chance to boost Heisman Trophy bids for Gordon and Nebraska’s Ameer Abdullah.
“This game meant a lot, forget about the statistics,” Gordon said. “If we lost this game, we knew it would be tough for us to get a Big Ten championship.”
Nebraska, with two weeks to prepare and the alleged desire to finally win a meaningful road game, pulled its all-hat-no-cattle routine. The Huskers are all but certain to add another year to their conference championship drought that goes back through 2000.
I asked Andersen how his 24th-ranked offense could drill holes worth 627 yards into a top 25 defense like Nebraska’s. He praised his offensive coaches for configuring a highly refined game plan in five days.
“We had very good schemes that were difficult to handle,” Andersen said. “I don’t spend a lot of time with the offensive coaches, but I do get a look at practice every single day.
“There are a lot of moving parts. And there is a lot of physicality. When those kids get a little momentum going, they pride themselves on being able to run the ball.”
Then came another “money quote.”
“This team,” Andersen said, “prepares very, very, very well, and they practice smart against each other.”
Especially Gordon, with the proof being his record 408 yards.
“Hearing that number,” UW offensive tackle Rob Havenstein said, “you’re thinking you would be tired if that was a regular conditioning drill, let alone a football game against Nebraska, a top defense. Melvin is that special a guy.”
What is special about Nebraska remains much more difficult to see.

We don't have an identity anymore. We still play undisciplined. How do you explain to someone what Nebraska football has been like over the last 15 years? Tell them to go look at a roller-coaster.

ok time to hit the locker room. Regroup. Make some adjustments. And come back out firing in the second half. I am not giving up that easily. We are still in this game. It's just one score.
Gotta run to 7/11 and get some beer. Didn't think I needed any today. damn

here comes the Gordon show

The problem is we play in a weak conference. We will win 9 games and suck. It's like a Frickin curse. Bo won't get fired.

f#*k this team. Another big game another embarrassing performance. Can't wait to see how Pelini spins this. Get him out of there and he can take Beck and Cotton with him. Can't wait to see what recruits decommit after watching this piss poor performance.

This feels like the end of a long, sad saga.

And now we have to experience this every year because they are now in our division.

This is the end, beautiful friendthat's the stuff we come here for.
This is the end, my only friend, the end
Of our elaborate plans, the end
Of everything that stands, the end
No safety or surprise, the end
I'll never look into your eyes, again
Quote
The vaunted Blackshirts now hold the NCAA record for most rush yards allowed. Congrats everyone
Quote
I will definitely be boycotting next week's home game. My 2 seats will not be sold and will not be filled. This has gone on for far too long. Winning 9 games a year against teams like Illinois, Purdue and SW Directional U while losing to every top 25 team you play is bad enough. Getting humiliated on national TV consistently is too much. WE the FANS have to make the University understand this is unacceptable!

Post by: cfbandyman on November 16, 2014, 04:30:31 PM
They are a sad bunch. I like how all the rational fans who hate Bo know they're stuck with him.
This, they've already seen how firing a 10-3 coach led them down this path of mediocrity, and now their program is stuck in this perfect rut. Nebraska will almost always be able to beat 4 non con teams, 3 wins over teams like NW, Illinois, and Purdue, at least 1 cupcake from the other division, and at least find a win out of Iowa-Minnesota-Wisky. Boom, 9-3 seasons guaranteed practically every year, and maybe a bowl win. Must be the greatest thing for Bo.

The complainers on the husker boards make me laugh
because you say you are humiliated and you can not take it any more and Bo must go, I laugh when I think about that. I think if you are humiliated and angry about Nebraska's loses and little thing like that, and you get cancer or something to kill you, and you are laying on your death bed, taking your last breath, you are going to be laying there and the last words you will say are, "I am humiliated, because of Nebraska's loses, and I am so angry, because Nebraska did not win more championships." And when an athelete's family member or friend dies, they always say, "I know they are looking down from heaven, on me."
I find that humorous also, because I read the Bible all the way through, and I have not seen it mentioned even once, that when a person goes to heaven, they will be looking down on earth watching sports events, I see the people in heaven, will worship and serve the LORD all day long. As of now I don't have cancer, but I do have congestive heart failure and the VA doctors have told me that I have to slow down and not worry or get stressed out, so I have decided to accept whatever happens in my life and to look at the funny side of life. Because in the end, we are all going to die, and the final score really does not matter.

Ms. wacky stopped by johnnys on saturday to watch some football before our wedding. There was some super annoying Nebraska fans sitting right beneath us. Like, they were really rough ridin' bad. I then noticed as we were about to leave that some Wisconsin fans had walked in and they were looking for a seat (cause there was none to be found). I then chugged my drink and waived them over to take my table. Nebraska was winning at the time, but I wanted to see what kind of conflict that would create for the husker fans. After we gave them the table, I checked the score two hours later and it brought a big smile to my face. I hope those guys really gave it to them! :D
At first blush this leads me to believe you got married this weekend. And had time to watch some football and crush some brews beforehand. If so, that's amazing.

Not "formally". With that said, if you're attending multiple weekend weddings in the fall during football season, then you've attained a level of "whippedness" that most married men aren't subjected to.

A couple from Nebraska was watching the Nub-Wisky game on their phone during the wedding reception I was at on Saturday. Had the Cats been playing I would have done the same thing.
It's not that couples who decide to get married during football season are bad people, but rather it's that they are oblivious and selfish.
This.
And, thanks for missing the point Officer Daris... Football season is roughly 12 weeks long, thus leaving another 40 weeks for the oblivious and selfish wenches of the world to choose to have their "celebrations of an important life event".

No, but the world damn near stops when the Cats are playing. Like Bookie said, you are given 52 Saturdays each year... Be considerate of your guests and avoid the 12 (or in this year's case 10) Saturdays when K-State has a game. It's not that hard. If you threw a dart at a calendar you'd have an 80% chance in 2014 of not having this problem.

I really only know about the high end ones so you are probably right. Anything elite costs more in the spring and it steadily goes down as the summer progresses.
If it is some hay barn or something I am sure the price goes up when the corn maze opens.

yeah I was pissed when I found out I'd be missing the games. but, once I was actually there and drinking with my buds it wasn't that big of a deal. I actually totally forgot about the game while at the reception, minus the random updates from the DJamer.
however, checking my phone after the wedding and seeing that the cats shutout texas was pretty neat! :)

Cats are #1 in my heart, but as I grow through this crazy thing called life, I'm starting to understand I need to be less selfish. I had a fun time at all these weddings this year and I still had some time to catch my cats with good friends during the process. I watched the Iowa state game on my phone while moving Ms. Wacky's brother and got to catch the whole 2nd half when we were all moved in. Met up with Mich in San Fran during the Auburn game. Watched the cats stomp UTEP at a Chicago bar before the wedding and last week was a bye, so good grief, who cares?! :confused: I mean, honestly, I got kinda lucky this year with the timing of the games.3 fall weddings? I guess that is what happens if you run in a squawk social circle. Wedding season is April, May & June for a reason - the fathers that pay the bill wanted it that way.

How to be a college football coach who doesn't get fired for a while
By Faux Pelini on Nov 19 2014, 8:06a 7
Alex Goodlett/Getty Images
Being a college football coach is a good job, except for how hard it is to not get fired. Here are three rules to follow and some other good advice.
Tweet (78) Share (34) Share 7 Comments Rec 1
You watch a lot of college football on television, and you have become very good at that.
You know exactly which plays are working, because those plays make yards and touchdowns. We should run more of those plays, you say to yourself. Those plays were working earlier; why did we stop running those plays?
You are very good at clock management, too. You know exactly when a runner should get out of bounds, when the quarterback should spike the ball, when to call a time out. You often shout these instructions at your TV screen.
Sometimes you tell your beer that you could be a football coach. When you're stuck at a red light or eating a hot dog or watching cartoons, you think about how awesome that would be, and you are mostly right. Coaches make a lot of money. They are on TV a lot. They get a bunch of free clothes with logos and bright colors. They get to be in commercials and fly on special airplanes.
But before you take your first head coaching job, you need to know there are also many things that are bad.
You have to recruit a lot. This means visiting and texting 17-year-old boys every day, something that would get you arrested if you had a different job. You also have to spend time with rich alumni and pretend you are not spending time with them because they are rich alumni, that their richness isn't the reason you are drinking Bud Light with them on a Tuesday night in a weird banquet hall when you should be texting a 17-year-old.
But by far the worst thing about being a coach is that every day of every week, fans and alumni and media people grade your job performance. They are the Judgers. The Judgers review the score of your last football game, and if your team scored fewer points than the other team, they will explore what you did to make this horrible thing happen. The Judgers will say that you had a terrible game plan, that you didn't have the kids ready to play, that you were outcoached. The Judgers cannot know whether these things are true. But that does not matter, because these are not really explanations in the first place. They are insults.
The Judgers speak these insults as part of an evil plan. They repeat them at work and at bars and at gas stations until they seem true. They call radio stations from their cars. Dave from Springfield is a long-time-listener-first-time-caller, and even though he has never met you, he wants you to lose your job, to move to a new city, to force your kids to make new friends. You will pretend that you do not hear Dave and that you do not care, but you do and you do.
If you disappoint the Judgers, they will destroy you. They will not stop until their words force you onto something called the Hot Seat. They will then talk about how you have landed on the Hot Seat as if it was a sad accident and not something they did.
The Hot Seat is not a place to sit. It's not an actual thing at all, yet it can wreck your career. So before you take your first job, you must understand the most important thing: YOU HAVE TO AVOID THE HOT SEAT AT ALL COSTS. There are three rules for doing this.
RULE No. 1: Be expensive.
Make sure that it costs a pile of money to fire you. Your agent can help you do this by negotiating a big buyout clause or a backloaded contract or a weird penalty that your school will have to pay to get rid of you.
Once you have done that, find out which people would have to pay that money. These are the Money People. You must make the Money People happy, or at least not make them sad. Who are the Money People? Your bosses have budgets, so they are Money People. The donors who write big checks are Money People. The season ticket holders are Money People, in a sort of tiebreaker way.
The Firing Formula is the thing that will determine whether you get fired at any point in time. You will get fired when:
The cost of firing you < How much the Money People hate you
Once firing you becomes worth it under the Firing Formula, your job will be gone.
RULE No. 2: Have the two intangibles (the Mack Brown rule).
Intangible No. 1: Be likable. Nobody likes firing a nice person. Be charming. Smile a lot. Be humble. Say things like, (1) "We were very fortunate," and, (2) "Oh I don't know about that, Jim!" and, (3) "I'm just so proud of these kids." And talk about adversity and how much of it you have to overcome. SO MUCH ADVERSITY. If you don't have any adversity, you need to make some up, then overcome it and talk about it.
Intangible No. 2: Be your school's boyfriend or girlfriend. Make everyone believe you love your school more than anything. This is a giant lie, of course. They hired you because they had a job opening, and you took the job because you needed one. But pretend that fate brought you to the school and that you love it MORE THAN ANYTHING IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD, because the Judgers and Money People want to believe this very badly. Also, the longer you are at your school, the more everyone gets used to you, like a paint color or a comfortable couch, and the more weird it would feel to not have you there, even if you have become bad at coaching.
Now, even if you have these two intangibles, you will not keep your job longer than the Firing Formula allows. But you will be able to minimize how much the Money People hate you and keep your job longer than you should.
RULE No. 3: Know the Main Thing.
The most important thing is to understand why you were hired in the first place.
This is easy, you say. Coaches are hired to win a bunch of football games.
Well, yeah, except not exactly. Studies show that on average, coaches lose approximately half of their football games every year, and only one of 128 at the top level wins the national title. Winning games is hard. Every coach you go against spends 110 hours a week trying not to get fired, just like you do.
The secret is that your job isn't just to win a bunch of football games. It's to win enough football games and do a few other things in order to allow the Main Thing to happen.
Each school has a different Main Thing, and it's up to you to figure out what your school's Main Thing is. The people at the school won't tell you, because they may not want to admit it or even realize it, but it's there.
At Nebraska, for example, the Main Thing is to make the fans feel like it can one day be the 1990s again. Whether it can or cannot actually be the 1990s again is not the point. That means the coach must win big games and bowl games and recruiting battles so it feels like the train is once again leaving the station for Titlesville. When Nebraska loses big games, the fans aren't just frustrated about the loss. They are frustrated because THIS ISN'T WORKING. Nebraska fans want building blocks and things to celebrate so it seems like the team is just a couple tweaks away from the top five. Tom Osborne created a monster; you must feed the monster, or the monster will eat you.
The good news is that there will be some pretty good job openings at the end of this season, so this is your big chance. For example, Michigan, Florida, and Kansas will be looking for a person like you. But you're smart, so before you accept one of these jobs, you want to know each school's Main Thing.
Michigan. At Michigan, the Main Thing is to make the fans feel proud of Michigan. Michigan, you see, is an Institution. Some people will tell you that the Main Thing is to beat Ohio State, but that's only important because it's a quick way to make people proud of Michigan.
This year, Brady Hoke's Michigan team got crushed by Notre Dame and then lost to Utah and Minnesota and Rutgers and Michigan State. As the losses piled up, Michigan people didn't want to talk about Michigan football as much. They were less proud of Michigan. Brady Hoke failed at the Main Thing, and he was placed on the Hot Seat.
And Hoke sent a concussed kid back into a football game either by accident or because he was disorganized or stupid. And that was very embarrassing. This was a different type of sin, but really the same one. BRADY HOKE EMBARASSED US, AGAIN.
He failed at the Main Thing, and he will soon be throwing all of his Michigan clothing into a garbage can.
Florida. When Florida hires you as its head football coach, they hand you a chest of shiny tools and treasures and expect you to unleash them and protect them. You have everything you need: beautiful weather, the neatest conference, and gifted high school athletes who were required by law to play no fewer than seven hours of football every day starting at age six.
So at Florida, the Main Thing is to make everyone feel like you are not going to get in the way of the winning, that you will let the winning happen. And if you can do it in a flashy way and score a lot of points, even better. Be cool. Be humble. Be tough. As a random example, don't be a yelly, inexperienced defensive-minded meathead. That is someone who appears to get in the way of the winning.
Kansas. If Kansas offers you the head coaching job, I want you to take it. It's in a good conference. The school has money and nice buildings. And their Main Thing is simple: make Saturdays fun. Play games that matter, avoid off-field drama, be likable, and have a chance for a breakout year once in a while. Pave the way to basketball season. THAT'S IT. You will never be the biggest deal at Kansas as long as the sport of basketball exists, but there are good things about that. You can have that job for a long time, if you just make Saturdays fun.
As you read this, Charlie Weis is lying on a very large couch and not coaching Kansas, mostly because he made Saturdays not fun at all. He was kind of a penis and made the football feel hopeless. Don't do that.
So, good luck with your first coaching job. I'm sure you'll do great. Make the Judgers and Money People happy (you won't) and you'll have a long successful career (you'll be fired).

3:20:45 on the espn feed they start.
talking head one: People in Nebraska are always looking at things to be upset about with Bo Pelini
talking head two: lots of pressure. you want there to be pressure.
"for Bo Pelini the struggle is this might be as good as this program can be right now. they might be a 9-4 program, they've been a 9-4 10-4 program for the past 7 years. and with the competitive nature and landscape of college football this might be the new reality for Nebraska and its hard for Nebraska fans to accept that. its hard for Bo Pelini to accept that. But I'm not so sure its not accurate." (holy crap I had to listen to that 40 times to transcribe it.)

No, this game didn’t change anything for Nebraska, which is perhaps more disturbing than the alternative.

First- even if it were a slight step up, why would he leave? He's at a big ten program with a new stadium in a big city. Plus people like him up here. It's his program and he's been stacking up signature wins.
Second- why in the world would he go there? Why would you leave a tough situation at a p5 program to go to a tougher situation at a p5 program? It Florida calls, then that's one thing.

Pelini finished with a 67-27 overall record. ? schools like Ole Miss, Georgia, South Carolina, Oklahoma State, Baylor, etc comparable records (or worse) over that time, and get WAY more acclaim and respect on the National scene. Why is that?With the exception of Georgia, the other teams you name have a tradition of being bottom feeders or mediocre at best in their respective conferences.

Don't really know what their buyouts are, just a wishlist.
:lol:
They have a zero percent chance of getting anyone on that list.
Don't be ridiculous, of course they will be in play for Kill if they target him. He's a much better fit in Nebraska than he would be at Michigan or Florida. The issue is that I'm not sure he is appreciably better than Bo.

I'm skeptical of a guy with neurological issues taking a more high stress job when he has his current job in a good place.
The second he has a seizure on the sidelines and they lose, those ass clowns will throw bricks through his windows.

Guy #1
No words Nebraska. Last time we let a coach go after a nine win season really worked out. ?#?baffled
Guy #2: Totally disagree. It was time
a bunch more people chime in, guy #1 accuses people of wanting Pelini fired never played football growing up, then this happens:
Quote
Guy #3: @guy1, you played football??? I didn't know Boys Town had team
Guy #2: Lack of class? That's not what it is about. He should have been fired when he was. It's life. People get fired every day. Very rarely do coaches get to coach a bowl fame after being fired. We have recruiting and many other things to move forward with. Quit crying over spilled milk. God damn do we live in a spoiled state with people that have had crap just handed to them. Why do you think they called west side Hollywood high? This is about success and the lack there of. He was being paid millions to produce championships and not get blown out like he did every single year. I'm truly amazed that people can not be objective about this.

On side note, Nebraska may be looking for a new strength and conditioning coach. Maybe someone like yourself with all your experience and knowledge.
Guy #1: @guy3, you continue to be as dumb as you look
Guy 2: @guy3 You don't know a god damn thing about me. You're a pussy ass little bitch. Remember the last time when I about knock your little bitch ass out in your kitchen? I know a few people do.
Guy 3: Yes, I remember, and I'm sure you could do it again. I'm sorry if my comment ruined your day, and if it makes you feel better. I apologize

So, if I remember the story right, when Riley was first hired at Oregon State, he got in touch with Bill about how he turned K-State around. Bill supposedly shared a lot with him. Riley was never able to duplicate Bill's highs but he did make respectable a program that was nearly as historically bad as K-State. So there's that.
Who they going to get? They're Nebraska, for christ sakes.

So, if I remember the story right, when Riley was first hired at Oregon State, he got in touch with Bill about how he turned K-State around. Bill supposedly shared a lot with him. Riley was never able to duplicate Bill's highs but he did make respectable a program that was nearly as historically bad as K-State. So there's that.
Who they going to get? They're Nebraska, for christ sakes.
Good points.
Not really. Riley left Oregon State worse than he found it. Dennis Erickson deserves the credit for making the program respectable.

4. Not in Big 12 anymore, so no Texas kids = no championships
5. You are not going to get a LHC Bill Snyder
6. 9 wins/season is what you are.
7. Not even a top 25 job.

Yeah, I can't believe I hated Bo. I think it's cause he was working for the bad guys. Add him to the list of candidates for Snyder's retirement.
I really respect how he hates the rough ridin' crap out of Nebraska.

I would pay a hundred dollars to read all the comments Nubb fans would write below that story.

That guy should not even be alive. A heart attack would be the best thing for him and his family.

Classless Douchebag.

It sounds like he is now in the right place. He just was not ready for big time football as a head coach. I hope he wises up. He needs to grow up.

He doesn't mention practice once there. I don't think it's ridiculous to want your AD to come in the locker room and say a few words after a big win. Pictures have been posted on this board of the animal and Currie in the locker room.

Bucket, stop getting hung up on the word practice. If the AD is getting to know players it's going to be during team designated time. Does Bo strike you as a guy who wants to share his time with his pussy, $!#* athletic director?

Year after year, I read posts about how Nebraska doesn't matter because we aren't in the top ten or top twenty or whatever. National media wants to write Nebraska off as a has-been.
But after Riley was hired, and this whole Pelini thing took off, I was reminded why Nebraska matters.
We have the best fans in the country and perhaps the world. No fan base is more loyal and more invested than we are. Despite the fact that we live in one of the least populated states, Huskers continue to win national fan polls.
There are Husker bars all over the country and Husker fans who will come out to support the team in every major city.
The Big Red may not be on top in terms of what we put on the field, but off the field... we are in a league of our own, and that is why Nebraska will always be relevant in the big picture, and eventually, when Riley rights this ship, we will prove to ESPN and all the other haters out there, that a great college football team can maintain in Lincoln, Nebraska.
Here is to a new year and a new beginning for Husker fans.

Epic. The gift that keeps on giving. Remind everyone that this is who most fans wanted as the next head coach after Billy C. We wanted a coach with some fire in his belly, especially one who at midfield addressed a mild mannered Hall of fame coach with a ridiculous rant in 03'!!!
This is the same person folks, Shouldn't be a shock. I think we got what we all wanted, and Then some!!!!

Two offsides on special teams. Why are we paying that fu&*#r 500k. We never had offsides problems on special teams

Our LB's are slow and have no fluidity in their hips. Watch how long it takes them to break down and change direction. They can't open their hips.Say hips again.

It's thoughts like this that make me wonder how many people actually paid attention to this program in the years before. Dr. Tom would be face palming right now if he bothered to read people saying the team is "unlucky".
You make your "luck" in the 59 minutes before the end by making smart decisions, executing, and not giving opportunities to the other team for them to come back or for officials to take it out of your hands with bad calls--something that our current staff has yet to figure out.
This was the philosophy behind how Dr. Tom coached...but I guess folks don't care about winning ways anymore...

Purdue is leading us after one quarter. Is this real life?

Well you guys, Eichorst was correct: we are definitely not Iowa. Not. Even. Close.

You know, since Riley was hired I was a firm believer that the Jekyll & Hyde BS was going to end and that has not been the case this season.
This was at 11:52, not even an hour after kickoff. No idea on the score, as I didn't watch the game and no one seems to be posting that.
Quote
We need to just forfeit the rest of the season at this point. Shut it down, disconnect the batteries, and retool for next year with a new coaching staff. It wouldn't shock me if Riley & Co. just took a knee at this point and resigned. Even they know they're not getting it done.

Purdue acting like world beaters. The culture has definitely been changed this season by Riley. Juice boxes at half?Guys I don't think they're gonna give Riley the time he needs to flush Bo's rage culture out of Nebraska and get his own guys into the system.
Quote
There is no question Nebraska has been bit mightily by the injury bug this year...
However, there is ZERO EXCUSE for the way this team has performed as a whole this year. Simply, we are a VERY POORLY coached football team.
Again, Nebraska's first season was in 1890. In our entire history we have never had 6 losses before November.
If Riley loses today, we should let him finish out the season, but then an entire coaching change must be made for the betterment of the entire program.

Anyone who can defend Riley after this seriously needs his head examined. This is downright awful. Does the guy have any pride or integrity at all? If I performed that poorly at work I'd admit I suck and resign so that they could find someone better for the job.Fortunately for Huskerboard poster GOAT, that will never happen because he is the GOAT.

The boosters would have no choice but to get involved, and because of this Eichorst will have no choice but to safe face and fire this coaching staff at the end of year, and start over.
Quote
I think Riley after the last press conference where he looked like he was about to cry is finally noticing he is way in over his head. He seems like a coach that would resign after a season if he was this bad but who knows. I hope he does decide he's not the man and step down because it's only going to get worse for this "nice" guy here in Nebraska. This is simply unacceptable.

Show me one person, just ONE, who picked us to lose to Purdue before the beginning of the season. Most predicted a winning record; many predicted double-digit wins and an appearance in the CCG. This is an embarrassment, a mockery, a disgrace. There's no other way to put it.

And the nail is in the coffin. I'm out. This is garbage effort from a garbage team coached by garbage coaches. Eichorst should be run out of Lincoln by sun down tonight. Time for a complete purge of Husker football.
Quote
The accessment was that we had as much talent as any team in the West Division. I never heard anyone say we were close to National Champ talent level. West Div, talent folks does not translate to talent. Were talking about the worst division in college football, we should have equal or more talent to them.
Its not all coaching people. Coaching is some of the issue, but the players don't even have enough pride to play for themselves. Thats just what kind of players that were recruited, same players who finished last year 4-4 and started this season 3-5/6.
No talent. No depth. No coaching. No heart. No support from the fan base right now. Something has to be done. Either bench entire team and play walk ons or at least Nebraska grown products with pride in the team/program.
Quote
Getting blown out by Purdue is telling of our football state after firing winning coaches and hiring the likes of Callahan and Riley. I don't see how our recruiting will get better after this season's debacle. This is really depressing.
Quote
Never felt so sick to my stomach about my team playing football
Quote
Face the music. We need a coach who knows the tradition. Respects the tradition. I am afraid that only person who can change this is Frost, but he can't do it alone. Better bring in Turner Gill, Rathman, Fryar and ETC and rebuild the image first, then the program as a whole.
Barney Cotton at least coached this team to play with pride. Pride is inner. This actually bothers me more than the coaching right now.
Quote
I would like to suggest that to put a good face on this season that we have a bowl game in Memorial Stadium against one of the other Nebraska state colleges. Maybe we could get a win to end the season??????
Quote
The only lack of heart I see is here in this chatroom. Riley may not be Weeb Ewbank, but he has coached well enough to win a lot of games this year that turned into L's based on some last second fluke plays and bad luck.
When nebraska comes back to win this game today you guys should feel awfully embarrassed.
Quote
Its humiliating to be kicked around by the worst team in the division but then wait- we are the worst team in the division! You can't live this one down. I cannot see that we will win another game this year. I also don't see Purdue doing much better.

This is the worst coached team I have ever seen. Anyone defending this coach needs to go hide in a hole. We may not have any super stars this year, but for sh#ts sake, this coach is making damn sure there are no stars on this team. To you people blaming depth, any time you have the threat of firing a coach like we have for the last few years it hurts recruiting, and now when you hire a coach that is short on marbles you get the crap fest we get to watch now.
Quote
I want to see what MR has to say in the press conference. Will he cry?
Quote
Could it be any worse than this ???? Hell YES, they just scored again after their stupid fourth down pass call. The Huskers are no longer the Huskers. This crappy play is not worthy of a good high school team.
Quote
-Lost first opener in 29 seasons
-Got blown out by Miami (Lets not pretend that game was as close as the score indicated)
-Lost to interim HC Bill Cubit and Illinois
-Lost to Wisconsin at Home
-Lost to Northwestern at Home
-Losing to 1-6 Purdue on the road
On track to miss a bowl game. On track to go win-less at home in conference play. On track to finish dead last in our division. On track to finish dead last in Pass Defense. On track to have our worst season since what the 50's.
Defend this shitshow all you want, we all know what the situation is.

Old powers Ohio State and Michigan than use the money to hire big name coaches and insure they have very little issue rolling through that mediocre conference every year so that one of them gets in the playoff (most years) for the foreseeable future.

Yeah, I don't even hate Nebraska anymore. I never see or hear anything about them. When they were in the conference, we used to get stories about them on the local news or interviews on sports radio. Since they left, it's like they just dropped off the face of the earth. Now, I can read a post like SB's and laugh at/feel bad for them for a moment, then I go back to worrying about our own dumpster fire. It's too bad. They used to be one of the kings of the sport.

Losing that streak would be pretty massive. I work with a guy that is a member of the Nebraska Coaches' Association (or something along those lines). He pays about a $10 membership per year, and then buys game tickets for the family for a crappy OOC game or two a year at $1 per ticket. If you can't move $1 tickets in Nubbyland, how bad must the disenchantment be?

Yup. Receiver was out of bounds and came back in to make a big time game changing catch. The rub is that he didn't try to come back in bounds right away. He took four long strides before coming back in and therefore should have been counted as ineligible.
Post by: TownieCat on November 09, 2015, 12:10:02 PM
The Nub receiver went out of bounds on his own. The ref claimed he was forced out but replay showed that was not the case. Unfortunately that call is not reviewable. Sparty got screwed.What in the world happened Saturday?Nub cheated.

Great article on what makes Huskers the saddest, most entitled, most delusional fan base in all of sports.

This is the most honest, succinct description of the state of Nebraska football that I've read. Mind you, I've said the same rough-ridin' thing for 10 years.

From "Blood in the Fields"
A few young men were kickin’ it outside a video store, dressed in red shirts and belts, one in a Nebraska Cornhuskers cap. The guy wasn’t wearing that hat because he supported a midwestern football team. It was the red that mattered, and with the white capital N in front, you’d think this apparel was custom-made for Norteño gangbangers. I wondered if the sports apparel vendors understood or even cared why Northern California had this surprising epidemic of Cornhuskers fever.

T Osborne, to AP, on Phillips:"All his correspondence with me in spite of circumstances have been fairly upbeat... didn't see that coming."
Osborne, to AP, (cont.): "He was very loyal to his friends and yet he had some anger issues and couldn't overcome the demons in his life."
Osborne to AP: "Things weren't going in a good direction for him. All I can say is I feel very bad..."
Osborne to AP: "I guess we feel like we did what we could for him. Whatever it was, it wasn't enough."

Coroner: Ex-NFL RB Lawrence Phillips committed suicide in cell

SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- A California coroner said imprisoned former NFL running back Lawrence Phillips had a note that read "Do Not Resuscitate" taped to his chest when he was found hanging in his cell.
The autopsy report released Wednesday indicated that a Kern County deputy coroner found another note and a picture of Phillips and an unnamed child tucked into Phillips' left sock.
The coroner ruled that the 40-year-old Phillips committed suicide in Kern Valley State Prison in January. He was awaiting a trial that could have brought him the death penalty.
Phillips was charged with killing a former cellmate, 37-year-old Damion Soward, the cousin of former USC and NFL wide receiver R. Jay Soward.
The coroner provided the report to The Associated Press under a public records request.

Yes. The Fresno State players starting to clap when they realize what is going on was pretty cool too. No matter who you are, seeing a program lose a player like that and then honor him in that way is very nice.

I'm guessing this is the story he posted. Read about it this morning.
Quote
I have still been referred to on Facebook and Twitter as a clueless confused n---er, by former high school classmates, friends peers and even Husker fans. Some believe DaiShon (Neal), Mohamed (Barry) and myself should be kicked off the team or suspended, while some said we deserved to be lynched or shot just like the other black people that have died recently. Another believed that since we didn’t want to stand for the anthem we should be hung before the anthem for the next game.
These are actual statements we received from fans.
People assume this is just internet talk, but I can tell you from my own experience, at this very institution, and visiting other college campuses within he past few years that racism is still a problem that must be addressed. I can’t tell you the numerous amount of times I’ve heard the n-word being shouted to my teammates and I by opposing fans behind our bench.
Looking at MIR's link it looks like the BOR is stepping in which I wasn't aware of before.

Regent Hal Daub of Omaha, who served two years in Korea during the Vietnam War-era, and a former Omaha mayor, said in an interview that student-athletes at NU “are not supposed to do things that create disparagement or negative implications.”
“It’s a free country,” Daub told the Journal Star on Tuesday. “They don’t have to play football for the university either.
"They know better, and they had better be kicked off the team," he added. "They won’t take the risk to exhibit their free speech in a way that places their circumstance in jeopardy, so let them get out of uniform and do their protesting on somebody else’s nickel."
Daub continued: “Those publicity seeking athletes ought to rethink the forum in which they chose to issue their personal views at the expense of everyone else."
Huskers Michael Rose-Ivey, DaiShon Neal and Mohamed Barry elected to kneel during the national anthem on Saturday, a form of peaceful protest started by San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick in August.
Opinions have been expressed from many corners, including Gov. Pete Ricketts, who during his statewide radio call-in show told a caller that the anthem protest was "disgraceful and disrespectful" to men and women who have sacrificed for the country, but that he "respect(s) the right of those players to protest."
During that radio show, a caller suggested the players involved should lose their scholarships. "Kick them off campus," the caller said.
Daub said he's heard similar comments from constituents.
“My phone and email inbox are full of highly critical commentary," he said. "I find their copycat conduct -- which is what I call it -- offensive. I’m personally offended.”
Another regent, Rob Schafer of Beatrice, said as a current lieutenant colonel in the Nebraska Air National Guard with more than 31 years of military experience, he is “honored and privileged to be able to protect the very freedoms that these Nebraska football players have chosen to exercise.”
But, in a statement to the Journal Star on Monday night, Schafer said, “University of Nebraska athletics is a unifying source of pride for our state that should not be used as a forum for political or social debate."
“I do not support the venue these student-athletes chose to express their political or social viewpoint.”
Husker athletes have “a tremendous opportunity and responsibility” to represent the university both on and off the playing field, he added, and if compelled to express a political or social viewpoint, Schafer said he encourages them to find a venue outside of the team to do so.
Regent Jim Pillen of Columbus agreed with Schafer, saying while he supports the student-athletes' cause and encourages all students to become engaged in issues locally as well as globally, he questions using the team as a platform of protest.
"I believe in team above everything," Pillen said. "I don't think any of those student-athletes would want me to represent them on the Board of Regents if I took my personal agenda to the table."
On Monday, Rose-Ivey spoke at a team news conference about the decision to kneel ahead of the game on Saturday at Northwestern University, saying he and his teammates chose to pray for their country while the national anthem was performed.
The Husker linebacker from Kansas City, Missouri, said the decision to kneel was to bring attention to the “policies and laws that discriminate and hinder the growth and opportunity of people of color, low income people, women and other marginalized communities.”
“To make it clear, I am not anti-police, I’m not anti-military, nor am I anti-American,” he added. “I love my country deeply.”
Rose-Ivey said he chose to kneel to "make the world a better place for the next generation."
Daub, who spoke by phone Tuesday, indicated he has spoken with university leaders on the matter, but did not indicate with whom he has spoken or the nature of the conversation, saying only: “Time will tell.”
"I am going to be wary of their future conduct," he said.
Asked if the university runs the risk of violating the student-athlete's rights guaranteed by the First Amendment if any rules are enacted, Daub reiterated that Husker athletes should not express political opinions while in uniform.
"Anything you do with respect to the First Amendment, you run a risk," Daub said. "Right or wrong, you can hide behind the First Amendment all day long."
A longstanding policy of the Board of Regents that has existed for a half century addresses demonstrations, stating: "The public exploration and resolution of differing views can be successful only when groups and individuals discuss the issues in forms where the right to disagree, speak freely, and be heard is preserved."
"Within this context, the University community recognizes peaceful demonstrations as a legitimate means of expressing one's opinion."
In his statement, Schafer referred to comments made by former President George W. Bush last weekend at the opening of the National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington, D.C., who said “the journey toward justice is still not complete.”
“Many African-Americans believe the justice system is tilted against them, and too many Americans of every skin color are victims of violence,” Schafer said. “These are real issues that cannot be ignored and should be addressed through conversations and positive actions in our homes, in our schools, in our communities, and across our states and nation.
“A starting point is to initiate dialogues regarding our differences and to instill in our young people respect for all life.”
Pillen said he doesn't support penalizing players or any university employees over the actions during last Saturday's game.
"I support these kids for having beliefs and convictions and I admire they have the courage to stand up for what they believe in," he said. "I'm just not a supporter of the venue."
UNL last year began addressing several issues surrounding diversity training for students, faculty and staff, and Chancellor Ronnie Green said at his state of the university address last week that early next year the university will take part in a “diversity mapping” led by a consulting firm.
Green declined to address the matter Monday, communications director Theresa Paulsen said, but did support the athletics staff.
NU President Hank Bounds, himself a former National Guardsman of the Year in Mississippi, said on Tuesday the idea of academic freedom at a university extends to the playing field as well.
The university would not stop students who pause to pray before the game or after a big play, he said. Nor would student-athletes be stopped from sharing a controversial opinion in class.
"I have a deep love of this country and a love of the flag, and I certainly recognize freedom isn't free," he said. "Nebraskans have expressed their opinions on the actions -- some were supportive, some disagree and some passionately disagree."
Since Saturday, Bounds said he has received no more than 10 emails about Rose-Ivey and others' actions. He said he has spoken with Green about the issue and had a short conversation with Athletic Director Shawn Eichorst.
Bounds said he "completely opposes" imposing any actions against the players or changing any policies that would restrict their ability to express themselves.
"They are all free to state their opinion and that's what is really great about living in the greatest country in the world. The same freedoms that protect our speech protect students' speech."

I recall that newbie Nebraska came into the Big Ten favored to challenge for the Big Title in its 1st year joining the league. If you think that caused resentment among the other Big Ten teams, I suspect you’re correct. If you think that caused bias against Nebraska, I suspect you’re correct.
Move forward to 2018. The new head coach for Nebraska just won several coach-of-the-year honors for the 2017 season, lead UCF to a major bowl win over Auburn and declared that UCF deserved to be crowned National Champion. He had a compelling argument since UCF beat Auburn, who had beaten Alabama and Georgia, the two teams that played for the official National Championship. If you think the UCF coach’s statements caused some resentment and bias against him, and some angst among the official National Championship folks, I suspect you’re correct.
Harken back to the post-1997 season when the Nebraska QB lead his team to victory over Tennessee in the bowl game to win the National Championship. Clearly, Nebraska throttled and dominated Tennessee in that championship game. In contrast, Michigan, who shared the National Championship that year with Nebraska, barely defeated a very marginal Washington State in less-than-impressive fashion. Subsequent to that win, the Nebraska QB declared his position that Nebraska deserved to be awarded the National Championship. That declaration by the Nebraska QB, and subsequent share of the National Championship caused significant resentment in the Big Ten, and continues to cause resentment among the Michigan faithful. To this day, Michigan maintains that they were robbed of a consensus 1997 National Championship due to the Nebraska QB’s statements.
So for 2018, Scott Frost, that 1997 National Championship Nebraska QB and 2017 highly-honored deserved National Championship UCF coach, returned to Nebraska, obviously now in the Big Ten. Based on some one-sided officiating seen this year against Nebraska, one has to ask if others set out to ensure a disappointing season in Scott Frost’s Big Ten inaugural season.

I’m as big a PJ Fleck guy as any one here, I’m kind of dumbfounded by it honestly. Nebraska is probably better than 0-6 coming into that game but man Minnesota is really bad.
I don't know that Nebraska is significantly better than Minnesota if at all. I watched the entire second half and there was some belief for a while that they were going to come back, those Nebraska fans were getting tight.
I knew when PJ took that job, it was curtains for him, that place is football purgatory. He'll probably end up right back at Western, they're crap too.

Not sure if anyone watched their game on Saturday. I couldn't stand to have it on the TV since Beth Mowins was doing the play by play. However, their offence was only able to muster 2 touchdowns and 276 total yards against South Alabama. Had the Jaguars not handed the Huskers 14 points on what ended up being 5 turnovers (one in desperation/end of game time), this game would have had a different outcome.

Had the Jaguars not handed the Huskers 14 points on what ended up being 5 turnovers (one in desperation/end of game time), this game would have had a different outcome.
Again, realizing that it's just one game, but Nubs offensive woes look like they're back for another season.
can someone here with HighFBIQ please explain to me how Nebraska is ranked in the top 25? I can't figure it out.
Scott Frost and the fact that they won a couple games at the end of last year? :dunno:

Academically used barely squeezed into the conference. I actually think they made a few exceptions. We obviously didn’t want you for your football team so I’d start concentrating on academics or you may not have a choice and be booted. I highly doubt Texas and the big 12 will let you back in but maybe the Mac or mountain west would be an option? Plus those two conferences you’d have a great opportunity to win consistently which is what matters to most fans on this board.

that single call, in a single game, changed college sports and public college conference affiliations forever. someone should do a 30 for 30. it really was the straw that broke things.

Who would have thought that cutting ties to 100 year old rivals, losing your recruiting footprint in the midwest, and firing a coach that had won a minimum of 9 games a year every year, would have detrimental effects on your program!?!?!?

No thanks. That brand has took a complete nosedive. I'm not sure we would get the $30+ million from tv revenue we'd need to break even. We'd also lose round robins, they're not worth that.

so apparently they can lose to the worst teams in the country; use an offensive system that prioritizes skill position players over OLs; have so much depth that OL recruits will be 3rd in line waiting for a chance to play and still get kids ahead of KSU

To be fair to us, LHC Bill Snyder didn't really put much effort into recruiting and there was and still is a lot of uncertainty as to what kind of a program Klieman will run. I expect recruiting to improve if we keep winning.

i don't think this really applies to Mizzou, you can argue they've actually done better in the SEC. Nebraska is in the exact same position they would be in the Big 12.
Slightly better in football (they had a good year in 2007). They have not been meeting expectations over the last couple of years, though. Also, they nose-dived the basketball program (to comply with SEC standards I assume).

Heck, we ought to be able to be at least as good in the Big Ten as Iowa. Minnesota got things turned around this year. We're not asking for national championships-right now we ought to be at the very least able to make bowl games every year. We're not even doing that. I will not excuse the horrible coaching by blaming the conference.
Why should we be? Because Bob Devaney coached us in the 60’s? Because TO was probably the greatest coach in CFB history? Because we spend a lot of money? Take out our history which was due to 1 or two guys and what do we have left? We have a program that is in a horrible geographic footprint with a fan base that expects every coach to live up to the expectations of what the best coach in CFB history did here.
I would love it if Nebraska could compete for conference and national titles, but the fact is we are behind every single Big Ten West program outside of Illinois right now. We are the 6th best program in the Big Ten West. Firing coaches isn’t going to change that overnight, our last 4 coaching searches have produced Frank who did pretty damn well, but he rebounded at Ohio. Callahan who went back to the NFL as a position coach, Pelini who didn’t even have a FBS level offer and now Scott who appears probably wasn’t quite ready. He’s in year 4 as a head coach and has had 1 winning season, maybe it was a fluke. I think it’s time to realize we aren’t better than Iowa or Wisconsin, we are level with Purdue, Northwestern and Illinois right now probably. Minnesota is a year ahead of us, Iowa is years ahead of us and Wisconsin may be a decade ahead of us.

No, but he coached in the Big 12 with 8 game conference seasons. The Big Ten made us rich, but it is also notorious for creating abysmal football programs while having 2 or 3 relevant teams.
Such a bad take. The big 10 is one of the deepest leagues for talented balance. In fact, there are currently 6 big 10 teams in the Top 20.
Until the NE fans and their football program start respecting the Conference they belong to now, rather than making excuses and whining for the good old days of the Big 8/12, the sooner they might actually start having success. NE came into the big 10 expecting to just dominate, without ever bothering to adapt to the big 10 style, which requires great OL and DL’s. They have all but ignored this part of their squad over the years, instead mainly focusing on skill positions. PSU joined our conference, didn’t act like an entitled program, adapted and found a way to thrive.
Maybe this season is the first step in humility for your program that allows you to quit living in the past, focus on the future and rebuild your program the right way.

Then some Iowa fans and a Purdue fan entered with some reasonable posts and a bit of reality smack. The weirdo Floodaggies started pouring in with some pretty cringeworthy driviling, and Nubbs rightly lol'd at their efforts. ISU fans... so weird. Thread getting more brown by the post now.

It's dead. Too many recruiting challenges, in the social media era, there are WAY too many options for kids going to so many other schools. Parity. System challenges, but mostly numbers of players and population in Nebraska make it impossible.
Frost needed to splash right away and bring in some studs, build a culture, build the brand back up but QUICKLY.
Our hope was a turnaround and return to relevance to overcome the inherent recruiting challenges and population/lack of players in an age of parity and competition. TO had it made once he built what he had. No longer.
We're dead. Dead Big Red. We had our moments, at least.
Basically, now that we aren't able to game the system to our advantage we'll probably suck forever. Ah reality.

Frost is of Nebraska more than he is from Nebraska, as though the land and the cornfields and maybe even the Runzas, those strange sandwiches native to this region, course through his bloodstream. (At one point, a Nebraska assistant coach finishes his lunch at the athletic complex's training table, then whispers his confession like it's a sin. "Runza," he starts, then shakes his head. He can't bring himself to go on because it's sacrilege around here. He's just not a fan of Runza, the 70-year-old purveyor of ground beef, onions and cabbage stuffed into a bread pocket. It's fast food that Nebraskans at home and Nebraskans displaced evangelize like it's manna.)

He doesn't mention Lawrence Phillips by name, but he doesn't need to. In 1995, Phillips, who was the Huskers' star running back, was arrested on assault charges and accused of throwing his ex-girlfriend to the bathroom floor, then dragging her down three flights of stairs. Although Osborne initially dismissed Phillips from the team, he was reinstated after a six-game suspension, then played out the 1995 season, including the victorious championship game. (It was Frost's apartment that Phillips allegedly broke into to get to his ex-girlfriend.)
Why didn't they mention that it was Scott Frost's apartment he broke into to assault his ex gf and that Frost watched the whole thing without trying to stop him?

Hours after the team returned from East Lansing on September 10, 1995, Phillips broke into backup quarterback Scott Frost's apartment by climbing the outside of the building to the third floor and entering through some sliding doors. He then assaulted his ex-girlfriend, basketball player Kate McEwen. Phillips dragged McEwen out of the apartment by the hair and down three flights of stairs before smashing her head into a mailbox. Phillips was subsequently arrested, and eventually suspended by head coach Tom Osborne. The case became a source of controversy and media attention, with the perception that Frost had not even tried to protect McEwen and that Osborne was coddling a star player by not kicking Phillips off the team permanently. Osborne walked out on a press conference when asked, "If one of your players had roughed up a member of your family and had dragged her down a flight of steps, would you have reinstated that player to the team?"[8] Outraged Nebraska faculty proposed that any student convicted of a violent crime be prohibited from representing the university on the football field.[9] Osborne defended the decision, saying that abandoning Phillips might do more harm than good, stating the best way to help Phillips was within the structured environment of the football program. Osborne stated, "I felt the only thing I could put in a place that would keep him on track was football, because that was probably the only consistent organizing factor in his life."[10] After a six-game suspension, Osborne reinstated Phillips for the Iowa State game,[11] although touted freshman Ahman Green continued to start. Phillips also played against Kansas and Oklahoma.

Like Prop 48, over-recruiting (I think), taking advantage of being a marquee name when visibility was hard to come by for other teams in the plains/Midwest footprint; even weight training and facilities.
It’s like, “Well if big red could just use their big name to stockpile all the recruits, get guys in that cant go other places, have our guys lift weights when no one else does, then pump our guys full of steroids when other teams start lifting — and turn a blind eye when our dudes roid rage on people then we’d be back in no time.”

That written account pretty much matches up with the story that I heard. What's not in the story is that she still kept dating Frost after that incident, and was for about the next year or so after. So, it shows that Scott Frost is an excellent decision maker. He chose to not try and stop Lawrence Phillips (would have been bad for his health), AND got to keep the girl.
Can you confirm that Scott hid in the closet while phillips was breaking into the apartment? If not what was he doing during the incident?

No bowl game.
Unfortunately, they're not quite dead yet. There are three bowl slots left and 8 teams still trying to get bowl eligible. Army has to beat Hawaii and Navy, they're out, so that's 7 for 3 spots.
Boston College has to beat Pitt. Boston College is also the only team ahead of Nebraska in the apr rating for potential 5 win teams.
Oregon State has to beat Oregon
Colorado has to beat Utah
UL Monroe has to beat Louisiana
Liberty has to beat New Mexico State
North Carolina has to beat NCSU
Michigan State has to beat Maryland
The first four teams have no chance. If all four of those teams lose, two of the other three would have to win to keep Nebraska home again. The last time they made a bowl they were one of those apr charity cases.

That's a weird thing for the title ix director to say. I'm curious what the racial discrimination was then because the article makes it seem like it was specifically and repeatedly directed at the student and I can't think of how that would not be investigated.
she never would have said that. I'm sure there were some things said about free speech on campus (turningpoint downgrades caused a shitload of issues on campus years ago that are still reverberating) and a lot of that discussion occurred. but the way it's presented never happened.

I think she did, but not in the context in which some are taking it. She was the title IX director, claims of potential racial discrimination are out of her perview. I took her saying that as less "I can't do anything to help you" and more "they won't do crap about that."

Because there's no defined protection for this. It's protected by the first amendment, that's what you've been saying for weeks. If this woman was walking to class and every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday this other student was in the hallway and said "hey coon" to her every damn time, that's protected and should be, that's the argument you have made. This is a university official affirming that speech is protected.

My first reaction was to let them rot and take everybody else that wants in.
The Texas and OU Presidents need to make their president literally get on his knees and beg to be let back into the Big 12. After he makes his plea Texas and OU need to let them flail around wacky wavy arm guy style in the breeze for a few weeks before they make a decision. Would be incredible.

Come on home, Nebraska. Do you really want to be stuck up there with all those uptight AAU schools too afraid to play college football? Come back with us, crack open a beer with your old degenerate pals, and take a walk on the wild side. We miss you guys soooo much. OU misses you!

All rough ridin' with Nebraska aside, the reason why that source is full of crap is exactly why we only have 10 teams in the conference now. Nebraska, nor anyone else, will be welcomed with open arms into this conference unless they are someone who will convince ESPN and Fox to give the conference $30 million more dollars a year. These schools aren't going to give Nebraska a cut of their money because of some nostalgia. Really the thought is really rough ridin' absurd and makes me question who Dodd's source is and what he tried to do with that tweet. There's no one even affiliated with the conference that would care since Nebraska left, Jamie Pollard, Mike Holder, Mike Gundy, and Kirby Hocutt are the only UPs, ADs, or head coach with any relevant tie to the old big 12.

If they were to come back, the conference would be stronger and stand to generate more revenue because ESPN and Fox know that Nubs vs OU, UT, and even KSU will generate more TV dollars than Nubs vs Northwestern, Rutgers, or Maryland. If you kick the trash in Waco to the curb and bring them in, you get those old Big8 match ups every year instead of the few marque games happening once every other year in the big 10.
I don't think it'll happen, but everyone would be better off if they came back instead of staying put.

Being a Kstate fan I agree with this 100%. They beat up on Kstate and the other Big8 schools (minus OU) for 60+ years, just pummeling our faces in while smiling about what great fans they are. When Kstate finally started beating NU consistently (5-2 from 98-04) they couldn't take it and fired Solich which started their downward spiral to where they are now. Then they left us and their 100+ year history with the Big8 schools to prove they were still relevant.
I would have loved nothing more than to have spent the last 10 years jumping up and down on their dying corpse as corn kernels shot from their mouth like BB's.
I want them back in the Big12 for that reason alone, to kick them while they are down until there is no more leather left on my shoes.

Do I think that Nebraska would result in the conference getting an additional $30 million per year in revenue, no I don't. Not anymore than anyone else in the Big 10 west, except maybe Wisconsin. They have a great combination of football relevance and television subscribers.

Wisconsin is definitely miles closer to what Nebraska was in the 90's than Nebraska is now.

100%, they proved to be the baby backed bitches they have always been. Prima donnas. They think the world revolves around their has been football program and get incensed any time things don't go their way.
Maybe they should try and be ND and just go Independent. Sure they will make no money since the only people who will watch is the state of Nebraska and they will fall even further into obscurity, but hey, at least they won't have Texas, Michigan, tOSU, Penn St. et al telling them they are just another cog in the wheel.

These parents want to be mad enough to write letters telling people how do to their jobs should at least know who to be mad at. Hard to take them seriously as knowing anything when they can't even get that right. How often was it reported that they voted and Nebraska and Iowa were the only dissenting votes? Did they think Kevin Warren was like playing dolls and voted himself 14 times?

We didn't score a lot of points ever... but Arnaud and Robinson were out and Nebraska's defense was pretty good that year. One fluke Hail Mary was the only real offense they had the entire game.

Yes Havs. I'm in lockstep with my BFF @MakeItRain. I don't care if CornHole defense was good, and you had two guys out. If K-State ever gets 8 TO's in a game and only scores 9, I want the entire offensive staff fired unless it's in the National Championship game against an LSU-Clemson-Bama all-star team and K-State wins.

I love it. They spent half a century being top dog in the Big 8, cried when Texas schools came and they weren't king crap anymore, went to the B10 and are now crying because they are an also ran in the conference pecking order.
Might as well just quit, join the mtn west, where they can be big daddy again.

"Which prompts one question: Why bother? Why send fine young men onto the field every Saturday in autumn to be humiliated? The answer is simple: "I don't think the Big Eight would want us if we didn't play football," says AD Miller, and though KSU could appeal its banishment, it is generally agreed that if Kansas State were to drop football, the Big Eight would just as quickly drop K-State. That would be a shame for both the school and the league: The K-State men's basketball team has won the conference championship 10 times, more than any other school, and ranks sixth nationally in the number of NCAA tournament appearances; the women's basketball program has had one losing season in 21 years, and its six league titles are tops in the Big Eight.
"In other words, the football team is sacrificed for those who cannot imagine Big Eight basketball without the Wildcats. Snyder, predicting the future, says. "We will be as good as we can be, and we will not be 0-11." Stay tuned." SI "Futility U"

it's incredible how dork loser they are. I am hoping against my best interests that the season is called after this and they, after being the biggest cry babies about needing to play, end the season 0-1 with a 35 pt loss.

This. Make corn aggy think we will take them back immediately then offer them something really ridiculous like 1/3 of the TV money for 10 years.
They go "Independent" and play 12 games against San Jose State/Army/etc for a season then we let them back in.

They have Adrian Martinez, who's been there for seemingly a decade. He was their starting QB until frost benched him two games ago for McCaffery.

I don't think he's a crap coach. He won a National Championship at UCF after only 2 seasons there, but there's obviously something not going right in Lincoln.
Personally, I think it's a combination of Nebraska losing their identity by going to the big 10, unrealistic expectations from the fanbase, and the inability to take steroids and cheat their asses off like they did in the 90's.

SICKOS Game of the Week thus calls upon an old friend: the Nebraska Cornhuskers, who make every looming Saturday feel like the end of the world, like Runza Ragnarok.
...
this scenario: Nebraska loses to lowly Illinois for the second time in a row. And not just Illinois. An Illinois coached by Bret Bielema, a snickering loudmouth of Iowa and Wisconsin stock, two more programs long ago regarded as inferior to Nebraska. Imagine bringing home your program’s championship-winning golden son, then watching him lose to this barbarian:

And Nebraska still has to play Oklahoma, Michigan, and Ohio State, plus all these Big Ten West teams who were not as good as Nebraska during the No Limit Records administration.

It was pre-planned. Joe Davis was talking about how Bret was back in his home state in the conference he’s spent the most time. They also didn’t include HC @ Arkansas in the graphic. It was a “he struggled in the SEC, but he’s back where he had success before” type segment.

You have to wonder if they actually paid face value for those tickets, or were they sold at a "volume discount", like a buck a ticket.I always wondered if some of that was card game and the donor got hella whatever their version of Ahearn points or if they have business sponsorship that those ticket buys level out with other financial deals on the sponsorship end.

With the exception of Northwestern and Iowa those Big 10 West schools run though coaches like crap through a tin horn, and no one is claiming Northwestern is a good job. Believe me when I tell you, whomever follows Ferentz is almost definitely getting fired and fired fairly quickly, they would have called for his ass if he lost that cyhawk game last Saturday.

Lol at that list.
I’d have Oregon, Wiscy, Iowa, Minnesota, basically any Big Ten west team outside nubb.
WTF? lol
Prob shows my work ethic (or lack of it), that I always think the best jobs are ones where it is easy to do pretty good and people love you for it.

They're the worst offenders, they've had 4 coaches the last 9 years.

Since 2000:
Iowa - 1 Head Coach
Northwestern - 2 Head Coaches
Purdue - 4 Head Coaches
Wisconsin - 4 Head Coaches
Nebraska - 5 Head Coaches
Illinois - 6 Head Coaches
Minnesota - 6 Head Coaches
Penn State - 3 Head Coaches
Maryland - 4 Head Coaches
Michigan - 4 Head Coaches
Michigan State - 4 Head Coaches
Ohio State - 4 Head Coaches
Rutgers - 4 Head Coaches*
Indiana - 6 Head Coaches
*Rutgers had Greg Schiano from 2001-11 and hired him again last year. So it's 3 different coaches but 4 tenures

You're being extremely disingenuous and misleading. Since 1990, Wisconsin has had four different people coach their program. Barry Alvarez coached from 1990-2005. Bret Bielema coached from 2006-2012 when he left to go to Arkansas. Barry Alvarez coached one game for the 2012 season (bowl game) after Bielema left. Gary Andersen coached from 2013-2014 when he left because he didn't like the admission standards at Wisconsin. This was after a season in which they made the Big 10 championship game. Alvarez then coached the bowl game for the 2014 season. Paul Chryst has been there since 2015.
Since 1990 their coaches have had success and then either retired or left of their own accord (not fired). The current coach is in his seventh season. That's not a school that goes through coaches.

I had that same thought when MIR tried to make that ridiculous claim, but I’m glad someone actually did the research for me. Question is, will he take the L on this one or will he try to know-it-all blowhard his way through it? :bwpopcorn:

Both Anderson and Bielma left because Wisconsin doesn't pay their coaches and Alvarez meddled in the program. While Barry is gone, they're still not paying Chryst like he's a successful coach of a top 25 program. His salary is 8th highest in the Big 10 and great coaches in other conferences like Pat Narduzzi and Justin Fuente makes more than Chryst does. Their assistant coaching salaries aren't much better.
Whatever, think what you want to, I clearly means a great deal to skinny benny. Who thinks this the perceived image of Wisconsin football is important enough for a weird ad hominem attack. Have your W or my L, whatever makes you happy, bro.

I assume chings is working on a bar graph showing the BiG schools average #of head coaches/year (or maybe coaches/10 years?) and then also providing ksucatsu in that chart for some context
I mean @passranch already did that and it showed that only 3 Big 10 schools had fewer coaches than Wisconsin the last 21 years, but I guess reading that chart would make one a blowhard, so it's whatever I guess.

I started following KSU football around 2006 so I don’t feel the animosity towards the corn that some of you do. I just view them like Miami, a once proud program that will never reach glory again. The apathy appears to have already set in somewhat in Lincoln with the fan base that they know deep down their ceiling is 9-3 and they will never compete for a title ever again.
I grew up in western Kansas in the 80's & 90's, if that wasn't enough to hate Nebraska this was.
My first K-State NUBB game was in 1996 I walked to and from the stadium with my girlfriend and my roommate. I lived on Kimball & Seth Chills. We stayed for that whole game, we got rough ridin' rocked. Walking back to my apartment a car full of cornbros rolled up next to us on Kimball. One of them said "eff you purple pussies" another one yelled "carpet match the drapes?"
In 1998 their dipshit band came into bsfs during the last 30 minutes of gameday and played the whole time, didn't stop. Same year Mike Brown threatened a like 5'9" student when we were rushing the field.
eff them forever and ever. Them and their mascot, Larry The Cable Guy, deserves all the crap they are eating and more.

Probably not the right thread, but I don't understand why Miami would never reach glory again. They at least stand a better shot than Nebraska.

Hate both ou and nubs but given the recent cloak and dagger bullshit ou and texas pulled I was rooting for nebraska. I think my general hate for ou probably matches most people's hate of nebraska, I just have had more issue with their fanbase than nebraska's fanbase. I guess I take solace in knowing nubbs in forever irrelevant so it's harder to hate them, it's a scarlet n for knowledge letter they wear.What if I told you Nebraska used to be in the big 12 and left for the Big 10?

I have never had the Nebraska hate a lot of you guys have, I loved watching those mid 90's teams (except for the ass whippings of course). As an adult it's fun to laugh at the dork fan base but I don't know that I've ever even met a Nebraska fan in more than passing.

My hs bros and I watched that game on a 19" tv at our shitty little rental house in minneapolis, ks. When the game ended we, and probably a dozen other cars started driving around town honking our horns and celebrating. People were yelling out their front lawns and yucking it up. Eventually the little parade made a few laps by a super nubb fan's house (totally decked out in corn stuff).
Anyway, my bros and I decided that we should probably head to manhattan to party. I took my dad's car (didn't ask), and we met up with some older hs bros who were in some frat (theta xi, I think). One of them was telling us how he was talking mad crap to mike brown at the field storming and it was on tv.
Eventually we ended up at that stone frat house just south of the east end of aggieville. They had a pretty wild party. All of it combined to be probably the best day/night of young nicname's life up to that point.

Feel like I hate nubb more still. Never really hated OU until now. I will give nubb the institution some leeway on leaving the B12 tho. They saw the Texas cancer ruining the B12 long before anyone else, and fought against it almost every step of the way.
Colorado and Nub AD wore broke and jealous of Texas Longhorn Network money. Weren't getting any of it, so they left. Thank you eff head ESPN for breaking up the conference twice.

That supposed cheering the players off the field might be the absolute worst thing about their fan base. This particular time, in 1991 against previously impotent K-State, it was absolutely merited. Good on them for identifying the hard work of those players, however they did that because they didn't view K-State as a threat, it was very patronizing. They sure in the hell didn't do that in 2003.

The worst part of Nebraska leaving for the big10 is that we haven't been able to whoop their ass the last 10 years. I think we would of gone AT LEAST 6-4 vs them over the last 10 years, would of felt great and nub fans would be shook to the core. Imagine Nub fans on a 4 game losing streak to KANSAS STATE.

Convenient for them to just fade into Bolivian.

Do you think their pride will ever allow them to ask to rejoin the Big XII? I doubt it, but it's still fun to think about.
No one is going to leave the big 10 or SEC, they are now the premier conferences.

Even if the SEC exceeds the Big 10 in payouts, it won't be close to enough to make up for the cultural differences. Those Big 10 schools take the cultural and academic components of their conference seriously, as they should. Their conference, more than any other, uses their conference affiliation for more than just football.

Yes. For reference, the University of Chicago was a member of the academic group until fairly recently and is still closely affiliated.

The University of Chicago is #6 in the country and #15 globally in the U.S. News and World Reports rankings. The SEC has 2 schools in the top 50, Florida at 39 and Georgia at 46.

Also the Big 10 knows full well, and they are correct in knowing, that they are the best conference in America. The SEC has had a 15 year run as the best football conference. Michigan has been playing football longer than every SEC school and are historically better than all but one of those schools. There is literally no incentive for Ohio State and Michigan to go anywhere.

The University of Chicago dropped football in 1939, they didn't leave their conference peers for the Southern Conference's 40 pieces of silver.
Is your reasoning forcarrying on with this, just because? It's not a cultural fit, it's not an academic fit, it doesn't make them more competitive, and it likely won't make them more money, so what are we talking about here? Yes, we are aware they can, it's America. I CAN become a 5 time nba champion head coach, but that seems highly unlikely so why act like it's even remotely plausible.

There never will be a significant difference in money between the conferences unless either FOX or ESPN seize to exist. As long as they both are involved, the SEC and B10 will be the 2 highest at similar amounts.

But, if they stayed in the big 10 they would just meander around 5-7 wins a year. What would happen then? Stay in the big 10, suck at football but keep hobnobbing with all those academic elitists, or be fantastic in football but hang with the academic commoners. I would love to watch that. :bwpopcorn:

I would prefer they win 1 of their remaining 2 games so that some optimism builds for next year only for them to be let down again.

If we hire that guy, I will be bitching nonstop about how he needs to do more coaching and less posing with a cigar.
In looking at that guy and also how well Adrian Martinez developed under him, I would be more concerned if he was coaching.

It's incredible that Paul Rhodes won (didn't lose?) at a high enough clip for KU, with a 20ish game lead, to surpass him in futility pretty quickly.
It's still incredible that Chizik's stint got him the Auburn job and a National Title.
He got that:job because of his DC tenure at auburn, they rightly completely ignored what he did at Iowa State because at the time they were a dog crap, toilet bowl who gave zero resources to their football program. Absolutely a worst program than KU at the time.

K-State & Oklahoma State, given the scope of college football, are the exact same program. We're a 7-8 win program, they are an 8-9 win program that absolutely cannot beat their most hated rival. They have fans that are just as frustrated and jaded about their program as you are. They have a 6 game losing streak to OU. We're beaten OU 4 times in 10 years. They've beaten them 4 times in 20.
Gundy has absolutely been solid, but nothing to the point where we should be aspiring to be like them.

I in general agree with that, we're basically the same. Their lack of success vs OU is quite amazing too. I do applaud Gundy though, maybe aspiring isn't the right word we should have for Okie State but to have year in and year out significant success is something to hold onto. I do think they are a step ahead since our main rival ku is hot garbage and their main rival OU is anything but, so their 8-9 wins comes with a clipped ceiling and our has an inflated floor. But it's a marginal difference at best.

Your number are somewhat accurate. But they've averaged over 9 wins a year for damn near 15 years. Getting 10+ wins 6 times (possibly another this year).
We've averaged a little over 7 wins per year in the same span, just 4 seasons w/ 9 or more wins.
They're a 2 win per season better program for the lifetime of kids we're recruiting.

This. All this. I don't think anyone else has necessarily been wrong in this conversation, and we've obviously had more success over the whole span of the Big XII than they have, but that's slowly changing. I also think that as long as Gundy is at the helm there, they'll stay where we need to be, which is a consistent 10 win program.

Baylor being good annoys me. They were a doormat and Briles turned them into a monster. Then Rhule resurrects that program almost immediately. Now Aranda has them rolling pretty well yet again.

Yeah, but I think the problem that people have is that program has basically gone unpunished for the abhorrent crimes that it continually commits. They never belonged in the Big XII when it was formed, but used the legislature to weasel their way in, then had murder, rape, steroids, impermissible benefits, violated recruiting rules, and on and on and on. Now this little dot on a muddy river that's half the size of the next biggest university when the conference was formed in 1996 gets to act like it's a normal person with a seat at the table. Now, none of that may mean much to an 18 year old choosing schools today, but there are plenty that still remember how it should have been.
Getting rid of Baylor was the one thing that would have been a huge positive for all the other schools had the Big XII collapsed back when OU and UT announced their departure.

Those two wins a year means very little nationally and regionally as far as perception goes. They mean nothing when it comes to recruiting. The only two programs in the conference that recruit differently based on W's and L' s are OU and Kansas.
Expecting a consistent 10 win program is an absolute impossibility and a ridiculous standard for all but like 5 programs. Wanting 10 wins every few years or so is fair.

(https://i.stack.imgur.com/NTEA2.png)
a few of my takeaways:
Early Snyder was an absolute boss
Kingsbury is the definition of failing up, how tf did he land an NFL job after that run at Tech?
Gundy probably the most impressive of all the coaches here, long tenure + consistent positive results
Matt Campbell not as impressive as everyone seems to believe, he's stopped the freefall but hasn't made up much ground
Early Briles was really not good, must have blocked that out of my memory b/c I have no recollection of that.
I'd love to see Klieman/KSU go on a '09-'14 OSU run over the next 5 years. Would set KSU up as a top team in the nuB12

I don’t think it has anything to do with conference affiliation, people thought they would get hung out to dry recruiting without games in Texas and that never materialized. They have just run themselves into the ground with firing coaches and it has been amazing to watch.

They were good for a long time because they went for broke and did the shadiest crap anyone could do to win. Figuring out how to win without it hasn’t happened for them yet.
Yup, really the entire system they built they systematically destroyed it, stopping the shady crap, running off coaches, and their jump to the big 10 basically made them irrelevant despite still being the only real D1 school in their entire state.

How do you explain being “irrelevant” when they routinely land top 20 recruiting classes? Kids still very much want to go to Nebraska.

One hell of an Obit
Obituary
Former Hastings resident Milton Andrew Munson Jr., 73, passed away Tuesday, November 16, in Grand Island, NE.
Memorial Services will be 1 p.m. Wednesday, November 24, at Livingston Butler Volland Funeral Home in Hastings with Pastor Joel Remmers officiating. Burial with Hastings Military Honor Guard will be at Parkview Cemetery in Hastings. In lieu of flowers, please place an irresponsibly large wager on Nebraska beating Iowa.
The grim reality of the Nebraska Cornhuskers finishing yet another season with a losing record proved to be too much to bear for Milton Andrew Munson, who decided he’d seen enough of this world during the team’s recent bye week. The Huskers may not have sent him into the afterlife with a victory but at least they didn’t lose. And sometimes, that’s the best you can hope for.
Milt, as he was known to friends, family, and scorned rivals, was born to Minnie and Milton Andrew Munson Sr. in Hastings, Nebraska on October 29, 1948. Following his graduation from Hastings High, he enlisted in the United States Air Force and was stationed at Hickham Air Force Base in Honolulu, Hawaii during the Vietnam War.
Upon discharge, Milt returned to Nebraska and enrolled at Kearney State College where he earned a bachelor’s degree and was accepted into the Creighton University School of Pharmacy and Health Professions and graduated with a doctor of pharmacy.
In 1979, he, his wife, and young son moved from Omaha to Grand Island where he began his career as a pharmacist at K-Mart on South Locust. His second son would be born one month to the day of 1980’s infamous Night of the Twisters.
Around the time the Huskers were jobbed by the refs against Penn State in 1982, the effects of bipolar disorder and addiction began to take hold on Milt and would profoundly affect him for the rest of his life.
During periods where he was able to keep his illness under control, he greatly enjoyed weekend visits with his sons - taking them to their first Husker games, catching trophy-sized bluegill at secret fishing spots, teaching them how to play the ponies at Fonner Park, exploring the Nebraska countryside in search of bars that would allow children, or spending a quiet evening at home discussing the finer points of Dirty Harry films over a Sax’s Pizza.
Milt lived in several cities throughout his life including Las Vegas, Nevada, Columbia, Missouri, Hot Springs, South Dakota, and Kalispell, Montana to name a few but he would always come home to Nebraska.
He is survived by loving sisters Arvelyn Loudon of Hastings and Peggy Feik of Grand Island, two sons-Todd, a writer who lives in Los Angeles, California and Troy, a neurosurgeon who lives in Des Moines, Iowa, and grandchildren Madduz, Gracelyn, and Vivienne of Des Moines, Iowa. Despite the ways his illness affected his relationships with his children, he inspired them to follow their passions and strive to be good people in that roundabout way Johnny Cash would write a song about.
He was preceded in death by his parents, sister Karen Wattula, and brother Dale Anderson

How is it possible that a BIG school is broke? The conference prints money.

Obituary
Former Hastings resident Milton Andrew Munson Jr., 73, passed away Tuesday, November 16, in Grand Island, NE.
Memorial Services will be 1 p.m. Wednesday, November 24, at Livingston Butler Volland Funeral Home in Hastings with Pastor Joel Remmers officiating. Burial with Hastings Military Honor Guard will be at Parkview Cemetery in Hastings. In lieu of flowers, please place an irresponsibly large wager on Nebraska beating Iowa.

It would be nice if the BSFS had 20" seat space. Before I gave up my tickets a few years back, I talked to the AD staff about making seating like Arrowhead or at least making the bench space wider. Got a bullshit answer saying they would look into it. I told them to just cancel my 20-year alum ticket purchases until there is a change. The reason was I was tired of being squeezed by the fat bastards on both sides of our seats. Had to either stand or sit sideways most of the time.Section 23? Seats are for sure narrower there. AD tried to intice 3-4 people per row to move so they could widen those out years ago. They got no takers.

What I don't understand is why don't they improve the new seating. Especially if they are worried about too many seats and not being able to sell them.

Does the show cause allow Nebraska to fire him without a buyout?
The sanctions could do that without the show cause, but if there's a chance any one in the athletic department knew about what he did with the analyst they would not only lose the inevitable lawsuit for firing him for cause, but they would be under additional NCAA scrutiny. It would probably be better for them to not bring the additional attention, unless they can prove that Frost was acting as a rogue agent.

I was going to set an O/U for games into the season before Scott Frost was fired, but with their Charmin soft schedule, they should be at least 7-2 Before they go to Michigan on November 12.
I think it would be hilarious if he figures out a way to get fired in Ireland, so I'm rooting for that.

It was whatever year they hired Mike Riley.I think this is true for the beginning of suck. In my IMHO, the downward slide “started” when they fired Frank Solich, which also coincided with the loss of prop 48 recruiting. Their inability to deal with reality, lead to one bad hiring decision after another.

In my IMHO, the downward slide “started” when they fired Frank Solich, which also coincided with the loss of prop 48 recruiting. Their inability to deal with reality, lead to one bad hiring decision after another.
Your timeline is a bit off. The Big 12 limited the use of partial qualifiers from the very start.

Sounds like a Adrian Martinez was the only thing holding Nebraska back from a national championship last year.It was like 35-7 at half against Northwestern last year. I feel like there should be a better metric of “our QB position is significantly upgraded” then is currently being used.

That was a scary smart decision by Scott Frost to kick the onside kick. Frosty must’ve picked that up when he was a grad assistant for Ron prince. Nothing like being up by 11 after scoring two quick touchdowns in the beginning of the first half and then giving Northwestern the short field and momentum

In the last 10 years he has won 7 of the last 10 conference championships including 3 national titles, their worst season in that span they finished ranked 19th.

It really shouldn’t have taken one more critical, forehead-slapping, oh-no-he-didn’t moment to convince Nebraska that Scott Frost cannot do the job of coaching the Cornhuskers. They should have realized that after last season, a 3–9 flop filled with creative ways to lose games that ran his career record at the school to 15–29. But just to make his deficiencies crystal clear, Frost produced his most spectacular act of self-sabotage yet Saturday.

The path to firing Frost now appears fairly clear. His buyout drops from $15 million to $7.5 on Oct. 1, and the only thing that might save him now is upsetting Oklahoma in Lincoln Sept. 17. Between now and then are what should be two walkovers, against FCS North Dakota and Georgia Southern of the Sun Belt. There is an open date Sept. 24, then a home game against Indiana on Buyout Cutdown Day. If Nebraska is 2–2 or worse heading into October, Alberts can follow the trend of early firings or—again—let Frost try to prove something other than what his 45-game body of work shows.

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.

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?

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.

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.”

Halftime:I still believe!! Nobody outschemes Frosty at halftime. Expect major adjustments coming out of the locker room. Probably kept the game plan pretty vanilla in the first half and may not completely open up the playbook in the 2nd half. Don’t want to reveal to much in anticipation for the big game with Georgia Southern next week.

For them to hire coaches like this, their fanbase, leadership & donor class would have to transition to accepting that they are a developmental program and that winning the recruiting rankings game is not the most important thing to winning football. I don’t think they can ever except that they are not the Tom Osborne era Nebraska and that they don’t deserve that flashy big name coach. Maybe they will prove me wrong like Kansas did when they hired LL.Nub fans on Reddit have their radar focused squarely on Liepold.A hire like he, Klieman, or Matt Entz is exactly what they need.

Nebraska’s ego just couldn’t stand it, they had to prove that $7.5 million doesn’t matter when they’re being embarrassed like they were Saturday. They’re Nebraska after allYeah, like I posted above, there is a zero percent chance they are paying most of the $7.5m.

No reason for either side to just wait around for the inevitable. Why go through that? I don't know why either wouldn't agree to something like 10/1 buyout amount plus September salary.Yep, I’d imagine Frost squeezed them for a bit more but not a lot. He had minimal leverage there.

Frost doesn’t want to be dead man walking for 3 weeks any more than NU wants him to be. They both wanted out now. NU would have waited that time if he was holding them to the fire for $7.5m. But he’d be very wise to negotiate at least a small part of it to get out now.

Why would Scott Frost agree to anything less than a full buyout. It can’t get any more embarrassing for him. What’s another two weeks?
His choices were
get the reduced buyout on 10/1 or get the reduced buyout+ whatever he negotiates now. Not to mention he doesn’t have to coach a team that hates him / face the fanbase for 3 more weeks.

Yeah, I'm not (too) overly worried right now. I get from a history standpoint desiring it but I feel if I'm Klieman, I've building what I want, under an AD who's my BFF, at a school that has rather reasonable expectations (I mean 2020 weirdness aside, 8-5, while would disappointing this year, is not getting Klieman fired, not even close), and he's more or less getting what he wants from a player/facility standpoint, I feel like needing to start over in a worse situation isn't that appealing.
But if Ferentz finally goes and Iowa came calling I'd feel more worried.

Trev Alberts is just as over his head as Frost was. The line about owing it to the players is a joke. Unless we hear about a player revolt, it's safe to say, like in almost every case, the players don't want their coach fired, especially three games into the season.

He's probably doing a little crafty wordplay. Like he could have called Frost into his office and said look here shitboi, you can get the eff out of here right this second and for your trouble here's 3/4 mil it's not up for negotiation now is it Scotty? Ok great GTFO.
There ya go. No negotiations

They are tied at halftime with Ga Southern, does Frost make it out of the locker room before getting fired?
Yeah, his buyout gets cut in half in October, so it's going to be almost impossible to get fired in September.
Maybe he's trying to do what Fat Charlie did at KU, and do whatever it takes to get paid.
BINGO!!! :cool:

Trev Alberts seems pretty dumb so maybe he really did pay it out. When will we know?
When Nubb's next football coach gets a KU/Beaty type contract because they can't afford to pay anyone anymore money.

Firing a coach after game 2 or 3, regardless of buyout, should be a huge black mark against an AD. A move of total incompetence.
Kinda means the coach really should have been fired last year.

I think you guys are underestimating the number of donors who are probably ok with paying Frost a “ I still love you and thank you for a championship , but you gotta go” gift and the number of donors they have who are happy to piss away funds to be perceived to be close to the most important thing in that state.
We’d probably do the same if we had to fire Collin Klein to some extent, probably not 7.5 mill

From the Athletic:
Frost received support from the Nebraska administration last year late in a 3-9 season. As previously stated, his contract buyout was scheduled for reduction by 50 percent to $7.5 million, as of Oct. 1 of this year. But Frost did not make it that far, losing to open the season against Northwestern in Dublin, Ireland. The Cornhuskers did beat North Dakota before losing to Georgia Southern at home. It marked the Huskers’ 10th consecutive defeat in games decided by one score, dating to the start of last season.
Frost will receive his full $15 million buyout; there was no renegotiated settlement, according to the school. Alberts said he intends to “reach out to a lot of people” as Nebraska begins the search for its next head coach.

An open letter to Scott Frost.
Good evening, Scott
I hope that you are well, at least given the circumstances of today and the news that you were relieved of your head coaching duties here at Nebraska.
Honestly to me, it’s bittersweet. It’s bitter to me because when we heard the news 5 years ago that our Nebraska born and raised, former starting quarterback that led us to a national championship, Scott Frost was coming home to right the ship that was steered so very wrong over the last decade. I was ecstatic, I was fired up, our fans, our booster, our team, our family here in Nebraska was ready in open arms for you. We knew you had some work to do, we knew it was not going to be an easy road. But we felt at the time you were the guy to bring Nebraska back to its glory. You we’re the guy, Scott. If we could have a perfect Cinderella story in the making Scott Frost would come into Nebraska and win the first big 10 title and then National Championship to boot.
But, not everything goes to plan, as we all know. First year was a shift change for everyone. Old recruits and players departed, some stuck around from the Mike Riley era to see what would happen. We got very close in games, but we just couldn’t shut the door. Which was perfectly okay at the time! We felt then just another year or two we could see the spark that we’ve been missing. Then year 2 came along and the same thing happened. So close yet so far away. As we know already the 3 following years, we started playing the same old song on the same old Juke box at the dive bar on the outskirts of Lincoln on a Saturday night. We would see flashes of greatness, then we would see the downfall of emotional heartbreaking losses, and eventually when that song got so repetitive and starts skipping. The owner of the bar is eventually going to replace the song with a new one, and today that happened.
Scott, I think it’s safe to say that mostly everyone that’s a Nebraska fan wanted this to work. I certainly did. You have Nebraska blood in you. You know the hard work and dedication, the blood sweat and tears if you would, of what it takes to win in college football. You have been through it yourself. As a coordinator you knew what it took, and in your short stint in UCF you knew what it took. You knew what it took when you played at Stanford, when you transferred back to your home state and won a national title. You hated losing more than you loved winning. You have winner in your blood. Just at this time at this moment, even though you put absolutely everything you had into this you fell short of the expectations and it’s bitter because that’s how it had to end. Leaving the program you wanted to rebuild the new foundation at, build another dynasty, and run the helm for decades. It’s bitter because we are moving on from one of our own.
The reason why it’s sweet is because for the first time in your 5 years of being here you get to breathe, and Nebraska gets to breathe. Not every game is a hot button game anymore. No more media after game conferences of fans and media personnel bashing your every move. The toxicity is now somewhat uplifted for Everyone involved. Even though it’s not what you wanted you get to move on, and Nebraska gets to close a chapter, a very dark chapter, in its storied history. To begin a hopeful new chapter to bring Nebraska, its fans, its players, and its culture back to into a brighter spotlight.
Scott all, and all I want to thank you for trying. For putting it all on your shoulders and trying to right the ship. For pouring your heart and soul into this program. Even though you were let go I hope you never forget that you always be forever a husker. I wish nothing but the best for your family and I hope you find a new spot that will bring you nothing but success. As Trev said it best, It’s time for a fresh face and a new voice here at Nebraska. I think it was best for both parties for you and the Nebraska program to move on from each other, as I hope you find some peace in some calmer waters over the course of the next couple of months.
With all that said I want to thank you for your time, your heart, and dedication to this program.
Till next time, Scott, till next time.

I know football coaches are a different breed, but if I were in Frost's shoes, I'd be done with football. 15 million bucks, and he's still a young guy. Take the money and do something more meaningful with your life.Yeah but I think that applies to most people in leadership jobs that pay several million per year. Their work is their life.

The assumption was that NU wouldn't be stupid enough to pay him $15 million and would wait 2 weeks so they would only have to pay him $7.5 million, but might be willing to pay him $8 million if he would agree to be fired early. But it really looks like Nebraska actually was dumb enough to pay him $15 million.

Because he would get fired in 2 weeks and lose $7.5M. There shouldn't have been any realistic scenario where he would be able to keep that additional $7.5M, so a reduced offer would have been a good deal for him. Trev Alberts appears to have been dumb enough to not realize any of that, though.

Trev Alberts was not calling the shots on this. People don’t understand the ego of the Nebraska donor base and how much they control Nebraska athletics. $7.5 million was nothing to them. Their need to show the college football world that they would not let $7.5 million stand in the way of ending the embarrassment of having a Scott Frost on the sideline was more important than $7.5 million.
Sure, but when the next coach isn't immediately successful, those same donors will be pissed off at Trev and use this for ammo. A better athletic director would have been strong enough to hold firm for two more weeks, or at least tried to negotiate down because Frost would have been insane to turn down a reduced buyout.

Here is the problem with this whole line of thought. As soon as Nubb says hey we would like to fire you earlier for less money or we are just going to wait two weeks they have already fired him and owe him the full $15. Contacts don't work the way you think they do.

This great, because it’s only week 4 and the entire NU and Baylor fan bases, players and recruits will get all squirrelly about this for months more, and there is still the chance that it falls through and Aranda lands elsewhere after all the jobs open up and the real bidding starts.

It seems like they stopped recruiting Texas when they left the big12. Half their team is from Nebraska and I don't think there's that much p5 talent in that state.Why would any Texas recruit go to Nebraska if they’re never gonna go back and play in Texas? All the other recruiting grounds for the Big 10 are already spoken for.

Every team that has left the big 12 has more or less died on the vine in their new conference.
Yup, A&M is the only one that has been able to stave off outright terribleness. Mizzou, Nubbs, and Colorado are all dumpster fires.

OUT lost yesterday. Texas has lost 8 of 11 I believe. NU is in shambles, CU is in shambles, MU is in shambles, aTm should have lost again yesterday.
UT can’t get much worse in the SEC but it’s about to be real rough to be a Sooners fan. They might wonder in the desert for a decade before they figure it out.

OU is going to be very good in the SEC. They will be playing and recruiting against Arkansas, UT, ATM and Missouri. LSU will be a worthy adversary on both fronts.
I think the biggest concern for OU is that their fans will expect Conference Championships in most years. Since I don't see them beating out Alabama and Georgia in most years the championships will be few and far between. If that turns in to them firing coaches every few years then they could end up in a Nubb death spiral.

I really don't think OU will struggle that much. I guess it's possible that their fans won't accept 9-10 wins and no playoff berth, making them recycle coaches until they are Nebraska. An SEC schedule just isn't that much harder than a Big 12 schedule, though, and I don't think the move affects their recruiting.
You and I both know they won’t accept perpetual 9-3 seasons.

They won't be playing east west divisions anymore. Next season will be the last year for divisions for any of the P5 conferences. The Pac 12 eliminated them this year.

Actually, I wonder what those odds are? It's pretty unlikely he'd leave before the regular season is over, isn't it?
Post by: Rage Against the McKee on September 29, 2022, 08:28:05 PM
Nebraska probably won’t have to pay lance all that much to get him away from KU, maybe 4-5 million or so, leaves a lot left over to pay coordinators. Could see them offering the OC 1.5m to come with if he’s that important. Not sure what KU would be willing to pay a new first time HC.
KU would be insane not to match up to $2 million for him. If they lose the whole staff, you have to imagine Daniels enters the portal.

Could see them offering the OC 1.5m to come with if he’s that important. Not sure what KU would be willing to pay a new first time HC.I was actually just looking this up. Apparently Frost took a $1 million paycut last year (from $5m to $4m) to pay his staff better and his OC still made under $900k. So I’m not sure NU would be willing to go that high for a guy that (likely) got a p5 bowl eligible one time.
Not underplaying LL’s accomplishment at all. I just think the money you’re talking about would only come out for a splashier hire.

This is the one that I came up with too. Wisconsin, perhaps, but I don't know how seriously they'll look outside of their guy. I could see unlikely scenarios where Notre Dame, OU, or UT could still open.
Granted, Brian Kelly caused a lot of chaos with his move last year so maybe they'll be a top-tier surprise move yet.

I have a coworker who joined the "Nebraska Coaches' Association" for the access to cheap tickets. The offer tickets to games that no one wants to see (crappy non-conference teams NU thinks they should smoke - teams they once smoked, but now that is no longer a given) for literally a dollar. He said years ago the $50 bucks was a sweet deal, for he could take the entire family for lest than $5 bucks each time a few times a year.
That is was once one thrifty 'Husker fan. Now, I will have to ask if he still joins the association or just buys tickets outright.

4 of 6 remaining games for KU are on the road (OU, Baylor, Tech, Qatz), and play Tejas and Okie Lite at home. I'll let you judge how many of these remaining games are going to be competitive. My subjective take is that they'll win two more, and go bowling. That's enough of a turnaround to keep Lance Lightpole's name hot in coaching searches. I stand corrected.

Joseph was a quarterback for the Cornhuskers from 1988 to '91. He was arrested in September 1990 on suspicion of criminal mischief for allegedly breaking an exterior window and damaging an inner window while trying to enter his girlfriend's apartment. According to police reports, the girlfriend's roommate told officers there had been a domestic dispute going on for several hours. No charges were filed in that case because of uncooperative witnesses.
Joseph also was arrested on suspicion of drunken driving in Lincoln in 1989 and suspended for one game.
Joseph returned to Nebraska last December. Before that, he spent five years on LSU's staff. He spent two seasons as head coach at Langston University, an NAIA program.

Most DA's really frown on suspects charged with strangulation, and put the petal to the metal to get them charged. Then they will work really hard for maximum sentence. Don't know if that holds true for NU football staff in Lincoln Co. Nebraska, but suspect it is.
What you’re saying is rooted in truth, there is a serious stigma about this type of seedy behavior. It would seem his actions stem from a disturbing pattern in his younger days, where they failed to nip it in the bud. I’m confident when this goes to trial, the DA is going to consider all of this, and definitely won’t be bringing a knife to a pistil fight, if you know what I mean.

Dave Aranda at Baylor and former TCU coach Gary Patterson, now at Texas as the special assistant to the head coach, expressed interest. So did Army coach Jeff Monken. Kansas State coach Chris Klieman was long believed to be on Alberts’ list.
Leipold was closer than i thought. Appears their 3rd option after Rhule and Fickell.
Quote
Talks with Leipold intensified when the Rhule deal appeared to be off. Leipold had a unique relationship to the job. He’d worked as a recruiting staffer for the Frank Solich-coached Huskers from 2001 to 2003. He invested a decade of his career in building the Nebraska-Omaha football program, which Alberts shuttered as AD at the school in 2011.
If Leipold received an offer, it would be a difficult decision. But by two days before Thanksgiving, he no longer heard from Nebraska.
Kansas AD Travis Goff had offered Leipold a contract extension in early October as “College GameDay” readied to appear in Lawrence before the Jayhawks hosted TCU. When the lines of communication remained open, Leipold was willing to wait on the Huskers.
No longer. Kansas upped the offer, doubling his salary to $5 million. Leipold agreed to stay.

They did basketball on aircraft carriers
They had to cancel a couple of the games because of moisture on the courts. Nebraska likely not to have that issue but basketballs are much heavier than volleyballs. Volleyballs are quite a bit more vulnerable in wind. They can play these matches if it's windy but it will very much have a negative affect on the play, in a lot of ways it's probably better that they're playing Omaha as opposed to a better opponent because the conditions could be an equalling factor.

Agree. Also, there were zero bad seats on the aircraft carrier….very small stands. Sitting in the upper deck for a volleyball game does not sound pleasant to me.
I'd imagine it's like watching a final four game, when it was in Arlington I read that most people just watched the games on the video board.

They're honoring Solich. I went back and looked, the dude only finished lower than 2nd in the North one time, he only had one mediocre season. They were 9-3 his last season, and the team he built beat Michigan State in the Alamo Bowl. Only one season not in the final rankings. Three seasons they finished in the Top 10.

In addition to moving to the big 10, them firing him was the turning point imo to their slide into mediocrity. Firing Frank Solich : Nebraska :: Hiring Charlie Weis : Kansas

Yeah I think his stint at Carolina really hurt his reputation. All the hardcore husked fans in my life thought he was a mediocre to bad hire, and that he didn’t have much to bring other than talk. I thought it was about the best hire they could have made realistically. I do think he’ll get them back to 8-9 win seasons within the next 3 years. If he doesn’t he’ll likely be gone as well.

They're going to meltdown either way. I've heard a few national guys say that it's apparent that Nebraska is already on the right track with Rhule. I don't know how in the hell they figure that, they've lost to Minnesota by one score now give straight seasons.
Maybe they're defining being "on the right track" by not having a coach who's perpetually drunk, showing up late to practice, hanging out at student bars, etc.

I kid obv, but it’s an interesting thought that there really are a lot of NU fans out there these days that never experienced a good Nebraska football team, and many more that never experienced championship level football.

20 years ago that would've been an unthinkable scenario for them it's insane
what's wild is that the big 10 west is so outrageously trash they've still got a chance to go bowling
It is also insane just how bad that division is. No clue how they are going to do the divisions when Oregon/UCLA/USC/Wash join but them coming into the West none of those other teams (other than maybe, maybe Wisky) will ever see the big 10 champ for a long time.

B10 west is such an oddity. Even moreso than the B12 north became. Every team in the division has a low ceiling, but should also have a high floor.
Amazingly Nebraska has managed to prove everyone wrong and maintain an absurdly low floor for almost a decade now.

BIG is ditching divisions and moving to some sort of protected flex where you play a couple of rivals every year and then cycle through the rest of the conference, 2 best records meet for the championship game.

Nebraska doesn't have an advantage over K-State...Manhattan is a great college town! Lincoln is a city that is very cool if you are from Nebraska. The thing that hurts Nebraska University is that it is IN Nebraska. Same thing that hurts K-State and KU is they are in Kansas.
It was nice when Nebraska was good. I just don't think they will ever return back to being great every year for a decade. They can put a few classes together and make a run to 10 wins and then will be back in the pack hoping to make a bowl.

Poor Nebraska. Now their fans have to look longingly across borders to successful programs K-State, KU, Iowa and Missouri. What's the percentage of the Nebraska population that lives within 100 miles of those three states. FYI, I used to live in Sabetha in the late 90s, eight miles from the Nub line. There were a whole lot of Big Red flags on porches and in yards. Wonder how many are on display now? I don't know how much those memories of the elite past can sustain them.

Also, the divisions go away next year. They are probably going to have to start playing 2 or 3 teams that finish above .500 most years. They are so mumped.I haven't analyzed the big 10's future schedules, but I assume it's a lot like ours.
I see Iowa is their protected matchup... but they will have to deal with each of UM, OSU, PSU, USC, and Oregon roughly two out of four or five years? (Not to mention MSU, Wisconsin, Washington, and UCLA?) Good luck with all that.

It's easy to see why KU longs to be in the BIG. A four-loss Big 12 team would probably coast to the west crown.Very few if there are any at all.

Can’t be only poor coaching hires alone
Post by: cfbandyman on November 23, 2023, 04:23:22 PM
Sitting back and really putting it into perspective, how the hell does a program fall so low from a peak so high?
Can’t be only poor coaching hires alone
I've thought about it a lot. Coaching is absolutely a factor, and imo the catalyst for the fall. But I also think:
1. The rise of other programs (ie K-State in the late 90s) started to eat into their recruiting edge, and their walk on program also deteriorated, this left then in a smaller and smaller pool of talent which created a feedback loop of smaller success, which made it harder for them to attract kids, and with that:
2. Joining the big 10 ultimately destroyed their last ability to tap into Texas, Oklahoma, KS, Missouri, and other such recruiting ground they got their out of state guys from. No one is going to play in Nebraska if they can stay more at home/actually play in their own backyard.
Both of those things coincided perfectly with decaying inertia firing Solich, who was actually good but not good enough for them after Osborne, then hiring Callahan, who sucked, and then sending them out of the Big 12 with Pelini, who was the last competent coach they've truly had, to then hiring Mike Riley who was meh at Oregon State. Just as ku's hiring of Weis to me is the true demise of ku until they got LL (firing Mangino was the start, but I don't think Gill was/is a bad coach) hiring Mike Riley to replace Pelini was the straw that broke the camels back for them. They are now in what was ku's former hell of hiring and firing coaches until someone comes along and actually builds them back up.
All these things come back to Nebraska's own damn fault. They did all of that to themselves for the most part, the hubris of thinking Solich wasn't good enough, being pissed off K-State (and others) had caught up on the football field. Texas had overshadowed them off it and that pissed them off, so they were looking elsewhere for their fame and fortune, and with all that then any semblance of what actually got them there in the first place by leaving the Big 12. All this was cause their own ego got in the way.

1. Trev has serious doubts about Rhule's ability to meet boosters' expectations.
2. Trev is concerned he'll be held responsible for any grievances with Rhule.
3. After spending only 3 years at his alma mater, a place that he spoke of frequently as his "home" blah blah blah, increasing his own personal wealth is much more important to him that NU.
4. Trev knows that he doesn't really have a job to do at aTm until aTm's football coach gets fired, and at that point he'll have another 3 years of free money until he either finds his next job or gets canned.
To sum up, I think it was a very smart move. Perhaps Trev is like me and hates the crap out of Nebraska?

I think a very large part of it is the absolute rough ridin' shitshow the Nebraska BOR has made of the state academic institutions. There's a reason the president, chancellor, and provost all got the eff out. the BOR is supposed to name a priority candidate for the pres. job tomorrow. You can rest assured it'll be some shithead (unless they've learned their lesson).
I read that people think he was making reference to the DEI stuff but he's going to Texas and Texas A&M who will almost certainly cut DEI as well. Apparently there's talk within college athletics that states who are explicit in eliminating DEI programs will have some difficulties with recruiting. I have serious doubts about that.

I think a very large part of it is the absolute rough ridin' shitshow the Nebraska BOR has made of the state academic institutions. There's a reason the president, chancellor, and provost all got the eff out. the BOR is supposed to name a priority candidate for the pres. job tomorrow. You can rest assured it'll be some shithead (unless they've learned their lesson).

It's not "almost certainly". Texas is one of the states that has made DEI at public universities against the law. I would say more, but it would Pit the hell up out of this thread.

Well, that's basically what NE did as well so sideways move at worst.
