Nebraska - 34 Miami - 30 Rush 212 Pass 222

I had never been to the board before but I heard about the Sock Prophecies.... and then got hooked!

Well written. Issue put to bed.

Sorry I guess I just don't think Bo is leaving much of a mess. Plenty of talent in the cupboard. The fanbase is a mess but I don't blame Bo for that, I blame Al Gore for inventing the internet. If anything he is leaving big shoes to fill considering what Riley brings to the table record wise. I think that's it's clear that the culture in the program needs to be cleaned up, It is toxic. Not sure if that will really happen until Harv is gone, but at least this guy will have Harv's approval stamp. But it's clear that this guy walks into a much better situation than Bo did, better talent across the board, no crapahan stench, no,change of conferences. Etc. but doesn't that also mean, if, heaven forbid, he goes 6-6 he's in deeper sh*t than Bo would have been? Yes, if Riley goes 6-6 next season it would be a disappointment. Still have to give the guy a few years though unless he completely derails the program. (4-8 or worse!?). From what I've read about him today (limited info so far I admit), I would expect more upside potential. Maybe we'll see 10-2 next regular season!

Not sure how fewer wins against almost the exact same schedule is an improvement. Mav - That was my prediction on how BO would have done next year if he hadn't been fired.

It wasn't the quantity of wins, it was the quality of wins. No question. But would this fan base look past a 7-6 season? I think next year he gets a pass, even with a favorable schedule. But if he doesn't deliver by year 2, things heat up, imo. Before Bo got fired, some guys at work and I were looking at the 2015 schedule and thought there was a very good possibility that given the way the team played this year, they would likely go 7-5 next season. So in my opinion, if Riley goes 7-5 next year it would not be a huge deal, and if he goes 8-4 or better it is an improvement! I'm hoping he can do MUCH better than that, which is all up-side! Here was our prediction for Bo next season if he were still coaching: W - BYU W - South Alabama L - @ Miami W - Southern Miss W - @ Illinois L - Wisconsin L - @ Minnesota W - Northwestern W - @ Purdue L - Michigan St W - @ Rutgers L - Iowa We went back and forth on that Iowa prediction but it seems the road team has the edge in that series, so we gave Iowa the win!

When asked about how he likes Nebraska he replies: "You were there. You saw it. Next Question!"

I hope Riley begins his first meeting with the team tonight by scanning the room and asking: "Which one of you is Josh Mitchell?"

Any thoughts on who from his current staff he would likely bring with him?

The more I read... the more I like! Thanks for the insight!

Thanks sock for providing us all some entertainment and camaraderie this week. While we are all probably disappointed that JT hasn't been chosen as our savior, we can all admit that this thread brought us together and was a ton of fun! Now, from everything I've been reading about our new head coach, it is obvious he is a true class act, a great and respected coach, and has the potential to do wonders at a program like Nebraska. He deserves the full support of our fan base until he proves otherwise. It's our way! It's the Husker way! Best fans in the Nation! GBR!!!
