You should refrain from starting and/or posting unsubstantiated rumors about the Head Coach's wife. This is the sort of disgusting behavior I alluded to in my previous post. You are better than this.

I forgot, is it Bama's or Nebraska's base that proudly proclaims to be "The Greatest Fans in College Football"?

You could not possibly be more wrong on this. Nebraska could go .500 this season and Riley would still be back next season - this is a given at this point.

Nebraska is WAY ahead of Iowa on that list, so Eichorst's experiment is clearly paying off “But in the final analysis, I had to evaluate where Iowa was.”

And it could be another 15 years before NU is a perennial Top-5 team...maybe 20+ years. For every year of poor decision-making & performance by both the administration and coaching staff, it takes at least twice as long to rebuild both the Program's culture and reputation. The Program was in the ditch from 2000-2014 -- this return to prominence that everyone has been waiting for is going to take far longer that most realize (or will admit). Mike Riley's hire was progress in the LONG march back to the mountain-top, as will be his eventual replacement in 5-6 years (Frost?). Patience is a virtue. Another thing: If you were a four or five star recruit with plenty of options, would you want to play for NU after reading many of the negative and personal-attack comments (on both this board & local news-sites) made against both players and coaches from what sometimes seems like the most entitlement-minded fan base in college football? I know I'd think twice.

Running from the competitiveness of the Big Ten would be nothing more than an act of cowardice...not the message NU is looking to project.
