There are seriously those on here who don't seem to understand what mega-conferences, tv deals and revenue sharing have done........

after every loss this board melts down because we expect to win every game.

but after the season, it is all of a sudden, "eh... only 4 losses isn't so bad now that we have to share revenue with minny and nw."?

i fail to see how "mega-conferences" (not sure we have really even seen those), tv deals, and revenue sharing have done to nebraska's ability to defend the jet sweep and avoid turnovers.

Seriously? The jet sweep? How many of our current players were on the defense for that CCG against Wiscy?

 
While I appreciate the term "absolute lie".......those Golden Gophers are a prime example. Has their monetary investment in facilities improved? How about the recent endowment at Michigan......Brady Hoke has an addition to his title. Any more "absolute lies" I need to give as examples?

 
Agreed.....but "choking in big moments" is not limited to Pelini coached teams in Husker history. TV and revenue effected facilities and recruiting.

What of it? We've choked in big moments under Pelini is the only thing that is being argued. Have we not? Did we not lose by 30+ to a 5 loss Wisconsin team in the Big Ten Championship? Did we not lose by 28 to Michigan, 25 to Ohio State, and 31 to Wisconsin? Have we not lost at home to Northwestern and Iowa?

 
From zero to sh*t show in less than four pages...

Unless Bo makes a decent showing in the CCG (preferably winning it) his detractors will want him gone, no matter where he sits on this list..

It seemed he was dismissing Franklin as a top three coach in the conference by saying his "signature wins" weren't all that big a deal, and I happened to see one from 2013 that caught my eye.

No, just listing his best wins - thus "signature". I believe the lack of wins was his point.

What are Bo's signature wins? Don't we have a losing record against top 25 opponents?

Edit: here's what I found on him (stats are from before 2013-2014 season began)

Overall record - 50-21 (.704)

Record vs BCS schools - 33-21 (.611)

Record vs BCS schools with winning records - 18-19 (.486)

Record vs Top 25 teams - 5-15 (.250)

Record vs Top 15 teams - 2-12 (.143) wins against Oklahoma St in 2010 and Michigan St in 2011

Record vs teams with at least 8 wins - 15-16 (.484)

Record vs teams with at least 10 wins - 5-12 (.294)

Conference record - 29-14 (.674)

Conference record vs teams with winning records - 14-12 (.538)

Conference record vs teams with 9+ wins - 5-10 (.333)

3-4 against opponents with winning records last year with those wins against Georgia, 7-5 Michigan and 7-5 PSU.

Double edit: as it pertains to the thread. All this shows is that we can semi consistently beat up on teams that should be easy wins and struggle to win against teams that put up a good fight. I believe he should be around 5th-6th behind (No order) Franklin, Meyer, Dantoni, Fitz, at least, and Ferentz possibly.

Where's my speculation? I'm looking at schedules, common opponents, and the head to head matchup. People seem to be pretending that we are heads and shoulders better than Northwestern here, but the data doesn't support that.

People are pointing out that we are better than them. Not pretending that we are heads and shoulders better, but realizing that we are, in fact, better. You just asked everyone if they thought we would win the same amount of games if we played their schedule. You are inviting speculation as to whether or not we are any better than they are. Asking a question without a real answer is the definition of speculation.

Now HERE is where I will speculate: Now given the program prestige, academic entrance requirements, history, fan bases, and resources of the two programs, should Nebraska be a finger tip better than Northwestern? So who's done the better coaching job? Fitzgerald or Pelini?
Click to expand...
This is a dumb argument. Should a national champion Nebraska be a toe kick better than Mizzou?

Oh my f u cking God.

Seriously?

Drama queen much?
Basing your argument on a sample size of one game or play like that to make your point is idiotic and unsound. You can find something like that in almost every single MNC winner's resume over the last decade.

Another question: Do you think Pelini has been able to lead Nebraska to #9wins every year because of Nebraska's facilities, recognition, fan base, et cetera?
Click to expand...

Of late, it has been from his schedule and the benefit of no less than 4 automatic wins.

Tell me, who--and I'm talking top level major conference teams--do you think plays a schedule that has less than 4 automatic wins
Click to expand...

For some reason that question never gets answered.

Of course not. Nebraska has easy wins, but MSU, UW, or whatever other team you wanna throw out there doesn't.

Do the two schools you referenced beat teams that are equal or above their "sphere"? At least a third of the time? Answer that and get back to me.

No.http://cfn.scout.com/2/1389519.html

Not to mention the worse your school is, the more teams are above your threshold and the more chances you have to beat them
