They're honoring Solich.  I went back and looked, the dude only finished lower than 2nd in the North one time, he only had one mediocre season.  They were 9-3 his last season, and the team he built beat Michigan State in the Alamo Bowl.  Only one season not in the final rankings.  Three seasons they finished in the Top 10. 

I know we whined and cried a lot, but damn, I can't imagine ever wanting to fire a coach who never missed a bowl, won a conference title, finished in the Top 25 all but one year and had .680 conference winning percentage in a conference with Bob Stoops, Mack Brown, Peak Snyder 1.0, Gary Barnett and a headed to the Pinnacle of Pinks at MethU.

In addition to moving to the big 10, them firing him was the turning point imo to their slide into mediocrity. Firing Frank Solich : Nebraska :: Hiring Charlie Weis : Kansas

If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

I don't really believe in curses but I may have to make an exception for Nebraska.

If you are a Nubb fan do you start rooting for double digit losses so this stat doesn't get any worse? Might be less painful.

my kid is in 5th grade and he and all his classmates only know of the nebraska who sucks complete crap. college kids only know the nebraska who used to be mediocre and now sucks complete crap. it won't be long and they'll be doing stories on the local news here interviewing last surviving veteran of being alive when nebraska was legitimately good.

I don't see how the ever rise above mediocre given the relative strength of the new big 10 and their complete isolation from recruiting their previous strongholds.
