Nebraska's struggle for relevance.

[Pete]

What year was it that Nebraska football really started the suck?

[Rage Against the McKee]

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.

Your timeline is a bit off. The Big 12 limited the use of partial qualifiers from the very start.

Yes, that is true. I wasn’t trying to imply that they lost prop 48 recruiting the day they fired Frank Solich.

lo f’n l. The fact that a Nebraska preseason game in Ireland is not even important enough for Fox to get the right mascot for the opposing team definitely is a reflection of Nebraska’s struggle for relevance

Lol, I wonder why Nebraska doesn’t bring this mascot back for a retro weekend

  The Irish press doing their homework on Nebraska

  "Nebraska is an institution with a proud history of winning (although not lately) and an equally hard-won reputation for often doing the wrong thing when it matters
   most."

Sounds like a Adrian Martinez was the only thing holding Nebraska back from a national championship last year.

[Skipper44]

word, but i think Herbstreit picking Neb to win the west is just him adding heat to Frost's seat to help his old espn colleague when Trev fires Frost after going 7-5.

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.

*I think it was a great move to bring in the new OC

O line still not great in pass protection

[kstater]

Northwestern must be good this year

I’m liking this so far

[Rage Against the McKee]

I hope Frosty can figure out a way to coach them forever.

[HugeCat]

“Nebraska is back.” Not so fast, Herbie. Adrian Martinez led my Huskers over Northwestern 56-7 last year Scott Frost is 3–20 when trailing at halftime. Damn that Adrian Martinez

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

Has a coach ever been fired during the first game of the season?

[MakeItRain]

He's just trying to improve his record in 1 score games
