I believe a title adjustment may be in order to KK's fantastic thread.

Nebraska's struggle for relevance, the new reality.

Texas Christian University coach Gary Patterson has been hired as Kansas State's 34th football coach, multiple sources have confirmed to GoPowercat.com.  Patterson replaces Ron Prince, who was fired Wednesday. - Tim Fitzgerald   Nov, 7, 2008

My favorite quote from yesterday:
"don't they (minny) know that we're NEBRASKA?!  and we're going to go to Iowa next week and LOSE, even though we're NEBRASKA!"

This guy obviously struggling to grasp reality.

Guys I was at this game. It was so glorious.

Same here. Went with a few Gopher fans. I never thought I'd see more passive aggressive fans than my own fanbase, but Nebraska fans surprised me.

Ought to bring Minnesota's coach back to Kansas.

Never gonna happen. 

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.

I talked to a Nebraska fan yesterday. The highlight of his weekend was Perine breaking the rushing record against Kansas. What a sad fan existence.

We took a knee, so I cut the nose. They went for a touchdown at two minutes; they could have taken three knees and the game could have been over. I mean, it's football. You want us to keep playing football? Let's play football.

How much of their precipitous decline is the fact that they used to recruit the absolute worst guys in the country, and now the SEC takes those guys?

I know it sounds like hyperbole when posts about Nebraska players say they are horrible people, but they really are horrible people.

Through these gates walk the fans of the most mediocre college football program.

Maybe they won't fire Bo now? That's a good outcome.
