As dimwitted as this sentiment is, at least you don't beat around the bush. I can respect that. I guess my point is that there are programs out there who have historically lost, gotten good, and the fan base expectations have risen to a point where there is "hope" each season that good/great things will happen. I don't understand why, since the landscape of CFB has changed, why our expecations can't change along with it??? I know we want to be competitive all time, and we always want clean, crisp teams who can execute. And we want coaches who are great representatives and embassadors. But, there aren't too many programs out there who have zero warts, and win (and win big) year in and year out. When I have beers with my other long time Husker fans who are old enough to remember "those days", these guys, and many on this board, demand a consistent level of excellence that I just don't think will ever happen here, and may only happen in one or two programs over time.

I want things the way they used to be.....period. And, I want my administration to keep firing coaches until someone gives me that....period. I want to believe that leaving the Big 12 was really a good thing. I want to believe that we should compete for a national championship every year, even though not many universities do that anymore. I want to dismiss the fact that college football is cyclical, and even the best programs need about a million things to fall into place in order to grab the crown. I want to believe that being competitive, good, or really good just isn't good enough. Why? Because we are Nebraska. I want to forget the present and the future, and have my past brought back. Can someone do that for me?
