Nebraska's struggle for relevance.

[john "teach me how to" dougie]

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.

[MakeItRain]

If we were back in the Big 8, would Nebraska finish last this season?

We would never be in this position if we were still in the big 12

Part of Nebraska's fall is moving to the Big 10.  I don't see half the stuff happening to them now had they just stayed in the Big 12.

 


Guys, they're starting to admit their mistake.

They've known this for years, they just won't say it in mixed company.

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.

Nubb - Last 11 years in Big 12 vs First 11 in Big 10
- Overall record: 84-44 (.656) vs 71 - 64 (.525) a 20% decrease in winning %
- Conference record: 47 -33 (.587) vs 44 -49 (.473) a 20% decrease in winning %
- Highest AP rank 8 vs 1
- Bowl games 6 vs 9
- Bowl record 1 - 5 vs 4 - 5

Oklahoma has become the latest victim of the curse of Scott Frost. Northwestern beat Nebraska in Week 0, and it hasn't won since. Georgia Southern stunned the Cornhuskers in Week 2, then lost the following week to UAB. Oklahoma delivered a rout of Nebraska last week, then could not stop former Huskers QB Adrian Martinez on Saturday, as Kansas State knocked the Sooners from the ranks of the unbeaten. Nebraska is like the VHS tape in "The Ring." All who come into contact with it are doomed to perish within seven days.

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 won't sink as low as Nubbs but I bet it's not too far off

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.

[nicname]

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.

No team is a top 10 team indefinitely. Not even OU.

You and I both know they won’t accept perpetual 9-3 seasons.

Maybe Matthew Modine instead of a guy named Eli should've been their coach if a vision quest was really what was in store

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.
