2012 Wisconsin is the hands down winner here. Nebraska had no business losing by 40+ points to a 7-5 Wisconsin team that backed its way into a conference championship game because of tOSU's ineligibility. Not only was the performance uninspired but NU's defense was embarrassingly torched by some of the same plays over and over. On paper, that was BP's best chance to win a conference championship and he couldn't get it done. I'm still completely flustered by that game to this day. As a side note, 2014 Wisconsin is an interesting choice to consider because this loss was the straw that broke the camels back for me. I felt it was time for BP to be let go after that game.

There are certain things in history that simply can't be undone. Are we going to just have everyone who isn't native American not own any land in the US and probably have to move out of the country so all the native Americans can have their land back? Obviously not. There is no way for that to actually take place. What white people did to the native Americans is deplorable and should never have happened. BUT...let's not pretend that before that, native American tribes were living here in peace and harmony. They were brutal to each other taking land and territories from each other.

Statistically, it's 2012 Wisconsin part 2....by a mile. You can't get much more embarrassing than that. Personally the 2010 Texas game when we were ranked 5th in the country, hadn't trailed in a game yet on the scoreboard, revenge for the 2009 title game, were playing at home, and were playing a Texas team that finished 5-7........that was just the biggest kick in the crotch imaginable.

That, and Kenny Bell's totally legal block.

*twitches*

Cotton might say it was at Texas A&M a couple of weeks later.

is his lost temper an option?

Haven’t had an opportunity to step inside in person, but wanted to share. Beautiful facility:

We seem to be behind if we are serious with this kid. Says Washington and Northwestern are his leaders. Should add those two to the voting poll. Talks Washington as well as his tendinitis issues. Says wants to commit by end of June. https://247sports.com/college/washington/Article/The-Washington-Huskies-are-one-of-2019-George-Ranch-Richmond-Tx-DE-Peter-Mpagis-top-schools-now-that-theyve-offered-118113064

If Bo was as nice a guy as Mike Riley then Bo might be here also. If Bo could recruit like Callahan and was as nice as Mike Riley, we might've had another Tom Osborne.

In the thread about Pelini’s best win, I was reminded that there were so many exciting moments during the Pelini years, but then this thread comes along and reminds of all the gut-punches and flabbergasting disappointments. Some losses to bad teams simply should not have been, but others were defeats snatched from the jaws of victory that prevented us from taking that next step toward relevancy and/or hardware in the trophy case: Think about the title games vs Texas and OU, and our series against V Tech. Not to mention Texas A&M. So much frustration. Makes ya want to swing a hat at a ref.

2012 Badger game and it’s not even close imo. That was the worst effort I’ve ever seen a team give in a meaningful game. There is no reason whatsoever for Nebraska to give up 600 yards rushing to a 7-5 team.

really can't afford to lose anyone else. not a ton of experience on this line.

I’m gonna go with the win against Clemson in the 2009 Gator Bowl. Showed grit and early win in the career.

Made his top ten.

Rant on Not singling you out, but do we have to comment every time there is a typo or they say huskies? Rant off

Still the best summary of the America's gun control debate (or lack thereof): Ever since then, I watch each one of these tragedies as someone who supports moderate gun control efforts to at least stem the tide of dead children and have to just shrug. The problem is there is no amount of gun control that's acceptable to gun enthusiasts & gun rights folks, so what are the rest of us to do? The structure of the House ensures they have more representation that won't budge.

In his six years, Frank Solich only had one season that wouldn't have been welcome on Tom Osborne's resume. But man....that 7-7 season hit Nebraska fans like a Callahan/Riley sandwich back in the day. Of course we should welcome the man back. Some forget that Frank was also the toughest 160 pound fullback you've ever seen.

Before we do a deep dive into Bo Pelini's Worst Losses, some housecleaning: - Mike Riley's Best Win: witih 75% of the vote, 2015 Michigan State won, handily. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mQkxAOcshOQ&t=2s - Mike Riley's Worst Loss: Northern Illinois, with 47% of the vote: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h13lUNsFGf4 Now that we've looked at Riley's best wins and worst losses, and Pelini's best wins, let's take a look at some of the worst losses during the Bo Pelini era at Nebraska. Game 1 - 2009 Iowa State: 8 turnovers. 7 points. I AM SO PROUD OF YOU. #Ugh - ESPN: http://www.espn.com/college-football/game?gameId=292970158 - Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xnAdPXjXksw Game 2 - 2010 Texas: Cornhusker Hotel incident or not, the buildup to this game lead to one of the biggest disappointments in program history. - ESPN: http://www.espn.com/college-football/game?gameId=302890158 - Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ciqf7MYTByY (mute this; awful music) Game 3 - 2012 Wisconsin 2: Bo's best chance at a conference championship blew up in the team's face. Melvin Gordon Nightmare part 1. - ESPN: http://www.espn.com/college-football/game?gameId=323360275 - Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RhD8DiDJhP0 Game 4 - UCLA 2013: Up 21-10 at halftime, and the Bruins roar back for 28 unanswered in the 3rd quarter. Still my favorite alternate uniforms, though. - ESPN: http://www.espn.com/college-football/game?gameId=332570158 - Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0VxZ8UapqMY Game 5 - Wisconsin 2014: Melvin Gordon Nightmare part 2. 16.32 yards per carry. Nebraska was up 17-3 at one point. - ESPN: http://www.espn.com/college-football/game?gameId=400547974 - Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZM-nmPHYyo Voting will be open for a week, and if there is a game which you think fits the bill better, please vote "Other" and describe it in a post. Thanks!

I was a little surprised in the poll the highlighted game wasn't included. Sure, it was Bo's first year and a win really wasn't expected. However, after listening to some nitwit assistant raving about the awesome game plan the week before; it was a huge cube stomping.

Said he's looking to visit Nebraska this summer along with Vanderbilt and Iowa State.

End of Thread

Good poll with some tough choices. I went with Whisky 2, Electric Bugaloo but I came really, really close to picking 2010 Texas. Don't get me wrong, the beatdown losses stink but after a while you just block it out. Nebraska hyped that game against Texas to the Nth degree (no pun intended) and Nebraska came out and laid an absolute egg against Texas. It was maddeningly frustrating. I can still picture Rex Burkhead and Brandon Kinnie dropping sure TDs passes. Plus....Texas.

Adding to that

2012 Wisconsin by a mile. I’ve never been more dumbfounded by a performance and I witnessed the 2009 Iowa State game in person.

Looks like it's unranked but got a schollie in college based on this further down in the twitter thread:

I think that everyone that quits (pretty much anything) does so because they just aren't super into it anymore, some people just do a better job of explaining themselves. When I quit sand volleyball I blamed it on the fact that we went from league champs to league chumps...but in reality (besides that fact that the new people on my team were horrible and couldn't hit the ball over the net) I just really didn't feel like playing anymore. I wanted to be able to concentrated on drinking but NOT playing.

The first one was just marginally entertaining. Might watch this one when it comes out at RedBox. As others have said, the constant smartass wears thin very quickly and I'm not a fan of breaking the 4th wall.

Added The Athletic preview.

Terrible example. There's plenty of land for all of us, whereas not everybody can drive one car at the same time. I was born here just like they were, so the "car" is just as much mine as theirs. Such a hypocritical Theory, considering the liberal stance on immigration, and how they have every right to be here.

This is along the same line of the point I was trying to make earlier. That's just the way the world worked, and white people certainly didn't have the market cornered.

If that's the case, we all benefitted from White America pushing the Native Americans west, so when are you planning to give your property away to a Native American?

IMHO, had TO stayed on, we'd have another NC or 2 at a minimum. He was that good and so was the talent.

Frost said earlier this week that there may be "a couple more". So possibly Ward and Decker are the last but you never know. We're down to 84 now (assuming Brokop is actually gone). Which is still 7 better than we were a year ago.

From what I have heard on other boards. Someone in the know fwiw said he has struggled with wanting to walk away before. That is why even though he looked better than Conrad he wasn’t starting. His commitment has always been shaky. That doesn’t mean he is a bad kid it just means the love for the game isn’t what it needs to be. I quit playing after my freshman year, d2. Didn’t want to put the time into it.

Lost me as soon as the polar bear flew his jet out of the atmosphere... just a little too unbelievable

Can we just take away from this that the fact Georgia thinks he can be an immediate impact player even with all the talent they have. We def need to get him at nebraska.

Ok but for obvious reasons, let's not go beyond Frank.

Confirmed he is visiting Nebraska
