No doubt...I don't expect NU to win a title every year, but I'm not happy with going 6 seasons and having no conference championship. Getting to the title game and getting obliterated like we did against Wisconsin is not my definition of success.
So here's your alternatives to what we've been doing:
1. Win the title game (this is what you and everyone else who likes Bo or hates him prefers)
2. Not make it to the title game
We can agree that #2 is bad right?
So we've played for the conference title every year except this one...I'd say he has our program going in the right direction when the only alternative is to NOT play for conference championships.
We didn't play for a conference title in 2011
We've played in 3 title games out of 6 years of Pelini, with a peak in 2009 where we went toe to toe with a team that went to the BCS championship. I was high on Bo after that season, and had a great deal of hope. Since then, though, we seem to be going further and further away from how close we came in 2009 to winning the title. I would be stunned if Nebraska would somehow win the Legends division next year, especially considering we play at Wisconsin and have shown no signs of being able to stop a rushing attack like that (as was evident in our Minnesota loss this year).
2014,
FAU-W (ZOMG you guys! Tommy Armstrong for Heisman, we showed them for firing Carl)
McNeese St-W (Espn hates us! We didn't lead off Sportscenter, and why aren't we in the top 15 yet? Stupid bias!)
Fresno-St-close W (man Fresno is a hornet's nest! You watch, they'd give FSU a run! That new freshman QB that passed for 400 on us will be a stud!)
Miami- L. (Tough team guys. Too many mistakes at home. Lot of guys banged up from that Fresno dogfight.)
Illinois-W (we're back! WE SHOULD BE RANKED!)
Michigan St-L (it's ok, all of our goals are still intact. Do you see how many of our guys are hurt. NO OTHER TEAM HAS HURT PLAYERS,)
Northwestern- toss up (man can you feel this new rivalry?)
Rutgers-Toss up ( we'll show these guys what Big Ten football is all about-----wow great game! Hats off to these guys, what a great addition!)
Purdue-W (YOU GUYS WE ARE SO CLOSE, WHY HASNT EICHORST EXTENDED BO TO 2198?)
Wisconsin-L (what I'm most mad about guys is not that we lost by 34, but a lot of Wisconsin fans knew I was a Nebraska fan and they didn't kiss my hand as a thank you for my presence, they instead made fun of me. What a classless school. I'd rather go 2-11 then be a winner and act like that).
Minnesota-L. (Well of course we lost, everyone is hurt and that Wisconsin team had to hurt our guys' feelings. What they need now is our support).
Iowa- toss up (Oh so you want to play for championships every year? We'll SABAN AINT COMING HERE, lol. (Posts gif)
Bowl Game- L (you tell me who'd come here, what with fans saying this team isn't good. Did you not see Stanton play? 2015 is OUR YEAR!)
