There was a lot of "this is on the coaches" vs. "this is on the players back and forth, but I'd say it seemed like nearly everyone wants Riley gona after this year. I just don't think they're gonna give him the 5-7 years that he needs to get his guys in the system and clean up the mess that Bo left.

Let's see:  The whined about everything in the Big 12 even though they were perfectly set up for success.   They did the old double bird el grande with verve and zeal on their way out the door.   The rolled around and bragged about how being in the Big 10 was going to be transformative to their university and it was going to be WAAAAAYY better there then it ever was in the Big 12. 

They've fired two 9 win a year coaches in the past 15 years and now Cornhole football and pretty much Cornhole athletics except for a couple of sports is utterly irrelevant on the national stage and one of their major sports has never been relevant in the region, in the conference or ever on the national stage.

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.

They are really nervous about the sellout streak. Seems weird

I hold sports grudges for inappropriate amounts of time, so I will always hate Nebraska even though I barely think about them anymore. Therefore I am enjoying this immensely.

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?

The sellout streak will remain alive. I mean some insane donor would just buy up all the heavily discounted tickets to keep it alive.

I also hold sports grudges for inappropriate amounts of time, SB.  Some teams not so much, and others for a really long time.

Yeah. I mean it's great that Nebraska sucks and all, but I just can't get any enjoyment out of this CFB season. I just wish Bill would retire, already.

Just think if Nub was still in the Big "12", they'd probably only have 1 or 2 losses.

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.

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.
