Yeah, Nebraska went "downhill" because we only recruited 3 players from Texas in the 2005 class.
- Incompetent and/or bad coaching hires,
- mediocre recruiting in general, bad attitudes,
- athletic department turmoil,
- less than sound schemes,
- generally poor technique and play,
yeah NONE those things had ANYTHING to do with Nebraska's decline since 1997.
Oh and it was, according to Mandel, Texas being a "bully" that caused Nebraska to leave to the Big 12.
GTFO with that weak sauce BS.
Stewart Mandel is a freaking moron.
Sorry, don't mean to be so negative, it just irks the heck out me when supposedly professional sports writers, who get paid to cover sports, have no clue what they're talking about. It's obvious Mandel did zero research was just spewing verbal diarrhea.
