Would LOVE to see NU conduct a coaching search in the same year as Florida, Michigan, OU (?)...

Were they dominating 10 years ago even?

they went 10-3 in 2003 and have lost 4 or more games every year since.

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.

No. 1 thing you don't do to stay relevant is leave a football conference for a volleyball, ice hockey league.

thank you, i tried. it wasn't a dlew piece by any stretch, but i'm proud of my first effort. game thread recaps aren't really my area but i believe i'll be doing these for nebraska every time they suffer a devastating loss.

Gordon's rushing yards would have been the 5th most passing yards yesterday

They haven't won a conference title since the Clinton administration.

Restless natives.

Damn, that was fun to read. Those jerks deserve just what they asked for. Clown suites for them instead of Blackshirts.

That reads like it was written by a fan.

It was... Unless you don't consider Barfneck a "fan".

All the husker fans I know say you just can't fire Pelini after he wins 9 games because that is how they got stuck with Callahan.

nobody could win fewer than 9 games with their schedule. they are essentially guaranteed a 9+ win season and top 30 ranking every year. their only hope is to schedule two other top 30 teams in the non con and get their asses whipped so they can fire him. they've shown that they don't care how big of a fuckup as a human being he is so that's not an out.

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.
