Penn State got drilled by Michigan in 2016, before winning the conference. Not that I expect that turnaround this year, but just showing that it can happen. Remember, this is a team that was getting crushed by bad teams late last year, including giving up 54 to a Minnesota team that was shut out their last two games.

 

Look at the narrative among the media. They're throwing Taggart, Kelly, and Sumlin under the bus for terrible starts, but not Frost. Why? Because they have more faith in him that some of our own fans, and see the long game.

Uh, notice that there is a little 7 next to that Penn State? They were a ranked team that laid an egg.  We got smoked and there is no anomaly here. This is our new normal.  Welcome to reality, Duke.  Nebraska football has been on a slow slide into this since the championship embarrassment against Miami 15 years ago.  You sound like all those retailers telling us how strong their sales are as they get eaten up by Amazon.  Examine reality and adjust your course accordingly.  Quit thinking this is the 1990's.  Apparently only Tiger Woods can go back in time and regain that glory!

We have lost at least 4 games every year since Solich was fired, the year we only lost 3.

58-38 record since joining the Big Ten, below .500 league record, no top 20 finishes.  Time to be brutally honest...this conference is too physical for the Nebraska program.

Power-I, walk-on program, "Frosting" the culture, etc... What this fan base needs is an adjustment in expectations.  Since we joined the B1G we have lost 4 games EVERY year!  We need to try to get back into the Big 12 where this type of offense would work and where we stand a fighting chance.  Let's be real people, none of the players even remember us winning a conference title, let alone challenging for a national title.  Why can't we schedule Iowa State for first weekend in December? They had a weather cancellation also. And we need to beat someone from Iowa this year!
