We are 3-6. They are 9-0. We are unranked. They are highly ranked. We just lost to Purdue. They hung 50 points on us. QB's salivate to play our secondary. Cook is a 1st round lock at QB. Their D is solid. We win, its huge. Possibly the biggest in NU's history. This year, we are Kansas of the B1G.........

Unfortunately this is correct, being totally irrelevant to the conference and national picture this year would make it the biggest upset.

I think its the people who insist we have no talent and we have to get rid of "Bo's" players that arent supporting them.

I don't understand how people can be complacent with this staff, can we fire them? Probably not, do we have to give the staff a participation award and some, "you'll get em next season tiger" words of encouragement, most definitely not! The staff are grown men they need to figure it out and adapt or be ready for a little fan wrath!

Some of the posts are correctly focused on recruiting. We really need to win recruiting battles. If Riley can't recruit he is in trouble after year 3 IMO. I think Westy, DPE, VV, and Collins are about the only safe starting jobs next year. Get stud recruits in here that can play now! Next year would still be bumpy but year 3 is the key for me...makes or breaks Riley.

The problem with counting on recruiting is that we never get the top tier recruits, and now if we are going to try and play a similar offense as a lot of other big name schools we will be in direct competition for the same types of players as those schools. That's a battle that will be tougher to win than trying to be a passing team with a running QB and run blocking WR's!

I'm sticking with giving Riley seven years. It's the principle of the matter. If Nebraska sh!t cans two nine win coaches and then cuts a third loose because he couldn't hit nine wins, the whole state looks retarded.

We didn't fire BP for the nine win streak, we fired him because he said naughty words! When did the oversensitive Californians move into Lincoln? Anybody see Fitzgerald on the sideline today, he was getting pretty antsy wonder if the NU fanbase is in a butthurt rage today? Doubt it!
