Yeah no.  Not going anywhere.  Not with this.

Kids these days..."no adversity please!  I like my character soft"

I think we get two wins, perhaps we eek out a third.  just reality.  not reflective of long term aspirations.

Long term goals aside - next season is going to be goat ugly.   could very well be a 0-3 win season.  sucks but it's just reality after yesterday's events.  We're all going to have to hang on a couple years before we can get hyped again. Hyped about becoming bowl eligible, that is.

For some reason, Mickey's wife always seemed a bit odd to me...weird vibes. 

But this is a serious matter and noone deserves to be a victim if this is the case.   Everyone must do their job in this case, the truth will be revealed, and those accountable will need to carry the consequences but also put in personal work.    

This whole situation has me thinking, are we sure Scott isn't drunk and lying in a ditch somwhere?  I think someone should go check on him and make sure he is ok.

Is your last name "Downer" and Debbie is your mother??

I mean...is the news of Mickey supposed to have raised the mood of all fans? I feel like I'm not really the Debbie Downer in this scenario.  I'm not sure how I can lower the mood of anyone beyond what this news has already done.

Sounds like we're continuing to go down.  We must have really never deserved those championships in the 90s  

hmmm...well dang - sounds like we're cursed for eternity.

Bc wasn't Luke Fickell Husker Fans top choice on who they wanted as the next head coach and to see him on a rival team now your like wow that's surprising and I'm not saying I feel this way either just understand how some Husker Fans are seeing it that way.

It feels like a hammer blow simply because we have been a dumpster fire since Riley.  So that is the explanation.  

I like that others in here are trying to show another way to look at it.  I like their confidence and hope things will be good.

i'll admit, since our program has been a joke for about 9 years now I'm analyzing this through snake-bitten skin.  It's hard for me to imagine us getting anything right these days.  The Wisconsin news just has me feeling "oh no we've bottled it" yet again.  Would like to be wrong.  We will find out in time.

yeah, we'll see for sure.  Hell, we may get our first "did we make a mistake?" moment just two games in against Deion.

That's possible, but is that due to Fickell staying in the college game the past 3 years, and did some great stuff at Cincinnati, while Rhule flamed out after taking the NFL job?  If you ask me who was the better coach after 2019, I would say Rhule.  I think Fickell is a very good coach, and him going to Wisconsin is tough to take, but I don't know if it's certain that one coach is better than the other.

I think Rhule is an easier target.  The first mishap and we'll be clowned yet again by the national takes.  Fickell just appears to be dialed in, razor focused, clean cut, and likeable.

With Wisconsin dropping the hammer on us today, gotta say Trev and Nebraska were outclassed yet again.  You can't feel good about our hire now with the Fickell revelation. 

welp...we're screwed.  Trev outdone.  Hard to believe, but it's just who we are at this point

Gotta disagree on the bolded part. Palmer was lights out. Imagine if he had a QB that could throw to him for all of the games. When injuries took over and the backups were in, it was awful. The WR corp was better under Mickey...at least looked better and had the ability to stretch the field. Not sure there was a WR that could stretch the field before this crew came in.

Yeah i understand that.  I think the inability to be effective when it matters was frustrating.  Palmer is really the exception compared to the Frost era, although i still think he's not ready for next level.

Man I just took a look at OP's contributions here on HB- I'll take a stab in the dark and say he's had his face punched a couple times.  What a miserable person.

Never had my face punched.  Nice try.   if you have beef with me, message me.  I sure as hell don't go after posters on here.  

Thanks Mickey for going 3-6 and making it easy to realize we need an overhaul

I'm in the minority, but I just don't see where MJ is really needed.  I could see us being succesful without him.  I don't see it as mandatory like alot of fans do. 

Nebraska's receivers were bascially the same they were as under Frost.  MJ's boy just declared for the draft.  I'll be shocked if he is even drafted.  If I was an NFL team, i'd ask him in his intervew why his productivity disappeared when his team needed him most during the season.

Was hoping for Luke Fickell, but I guess this is ok.  My only worry is he has a very puncheable face.  Just wondering if that'll bring us good luck or bad luck.

Lot of bad takes in this thread, but calling Mickey Joseph a "loser" has to be the worst.

 

I know you guys get emotionally distraught when we lose, but this is just embarrassing.

The football program is the one embarrasing anybody week in and week out.  That's not on me.  I can call them whatever I want at this point

Yes. They love losing. Solid post. 

I'm going to start attacking the program I love at this point.  They disgust me at how much they love being embarrassed. 

We can put Mickey to bed.  No wonder he joined Frost's staff.  One loser recruits another to coach with him.

Someone just put this loser football program out of its misery.  Hard to support these losers.  They love losing.  Calling them clowns would be of the highest compliment.  They're losers and they deserve to be called as such

Just like Bret did with the Illinois clowns. He turned them from garbage to a 7-1 team in one year. They have not had a winning season since 2001. 

amen brother

Honestly, I've stopped caring.  For the first time in my fandom, I just simply don't care.  This program feels dead.  Trev's gonna botch it anyway
