hskerprid Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 On "College game day" this morning when speaking of Oklahoma vs Nebraska. Back "when Nebraska was Nebraska". I think that this unfortunately has become our national perception. 2 Quote Link to comment
Sparker Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 He did pick us though. He said people were sleeping on Tanner Lee and Bobby Diaco. 1 Quote Link to comment
Swiv3D Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Well yeah, it's been like that for a while now. Quote Link to comment
HuskerNBigD Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Barring that whine fest he had about the best team of all time, I really like Kirk. He's great in an analyst role and understands the landscape of college football quite well. I also have to tip the cap to how he helps out Corso on gameday. Lee hasn't been the same since the stroke and Herbie is always there to help lead him in the discussion. 3 Quote Link to comment
hskerprid Posted September 9, 2017 Author Share Posted September 9, 2017 I recorded it and hadn't gotten to the part with him picking us to win. Having lived through the 70s, 80s and 90s it's just getting old not being relevant anymore. 1 Quote Link to comment

Might be time to just accept it, realize there is nothing you can do about it, and get back to trying to enjoy what you can under the new circumstances. It helps and it doesn't mean you've settled for mediocrity but rather simply that you've accepted you aren't the AD or the HC. This isn't directed at just you, there are many that would be well served to heed that advice. I don't like DONU regularly being outside the top ten and not a player in the national discussion either but it is what it is and no amount of bitching by any fan is going to change it one iota. 7 Quote Link to comment

Oh, make no mistake I still enjoy supporting my Huskers as I'm sure many others of my opinion do. You are correct that no amount of bit**in is going to change our status. It was more "fun" when we were in the discussion more. Quote Link to comment

ScottyIce Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Suh, Abdullah both brought us into discussion frequently. I think Tanner Lee might be that guy. Now if we can just give him a defense we could be there. 1 Quote Link to comment
lo country Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Lifelong Husker fan. Been a fan of Clemson for a long time. Its taken Clemson YEARS to get back to winning (not that they were ever at the NU level/duration), but the right staff and recruits and they have been in the discussion for about the past 10 years..... Hopefully Lee, Bobby D and the uptick in recruiting really get us over the hump. 1 Quote Link to comment

His producer got in his ear and was basically like, "This is too boring, get fired up about something." 1 Quote Link to comment

Riley has disproved a pretty big criticism when he fired Banker. He is putting the program in a tremendous position to succeed by hiring and trusting (and paying) the types of coaches who win in today's college football landscape. Quote Link to comment
Guy Chamberlin Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 I think it's also healthier when we accept that Nebraska's 40 year run of excellence was extremely rare and unlikely to be repeated, even by the Alabama's. Doesn't mean we accept mediocrity or give up dreams of dominance. Just tone down the whining a tick. We have to earn our way back, like everyone else. And believe it or not, the media is rooting for it because it would be a good story. 6 Quote Link to comment
