This season could get worse in a few days (Matt Abdelmassih has apparently been very bad at following NCAA rules.)

That's exactly why Bill Parcells said "you are what your record says you are", zero tolerance for magical thinking (i.e. "bad luck"). Our opponents could probably say "if we just had one or two more breaks or less mistakes we would have beaten NU by double digits!"

Wisconsin ran 60 plays in the 2012 CCG, 50 of which were runs (83%). 3 of their TDs were runs of 56, 57 and 68, and they had a 9-yard TD that was a 1-play drive thanks to a turnover. Wisconsin did not throw a single pass in the second half. Hilarious for anyone to cite that one game as a model for Nebraska to follow when it had far more to do with Pelini being so ill-prepared it's amazing he ever got a job again than anything Wisconsin did.

Ah yes, of course, all Nebraska has to do is run 70%+ of the time AND wait for multiple teams in the division to be on probation so we can finally win a conference championship. It's so obvious now. Oh wait, we should probably convince the winner of the other division to hire a coach who has married himself to a defensive philosophy that only worked against 2010s Big 12 offenses just to be safe.

They would have won the national championship even harder if they had! Or, um, something.

Shanked punts aren't quite as epic as a player fielding a punt at his own goal line and trying to throw a forward pass out of the end zone on it.

Thar she blows?

I once had a dream one February night that the Dodgers were going to win the world series. This was strange, because I'm not really a die hard Dodger fan. But lo and behold, they made the World Series that year...and got pounded by Boston. Dream interpretation is a waste of time, is my point

https://www.yahoo.com/news/don-t-worry-no-1-113000982.html His old coach sounds like a real f***ing moron. Wait. Oh no.

His "free" year was 2020 in which he didn't play a snap.

3 blowouts (Fordham, Buffalo, Northwestern) and 1 series against Michigan State after Martinez got his jaw messed up. Today's head-scratching series makes 5.

Ice cream with sprinkles for everyone

It was a fluttery pass. Martin didn't help, no, but it was not a great pass either. Probably due to injury. This is stupid not to have at least an OK backup QB when teams like Illinois have torched NU with backup QBs at times.

I immediately scrolled down to see if anyone else quit reading OP after that and, by golly, here we are. Holy cow, no QB needs 5 years to become elite. WTAF.

John Cook has 4 shiny, diamond-encrusted reasons that allow him to throw players under the bus.

I chalk recruiting a WR/RB up to a coaching mistake.

Luke McCaffrey was given a shot last year and didn't look much different than Martinez on the whole. It's almost like the coaching sucks or something.

No, I want Pelini-esque results without taking literal swipes at the official with piss on your pants. Callahan's 50% losing seasons can stay away.

Does it take 3 years to name a dog?

Just a reminder: I don't want "stability", I want coaches who don't slack off, then the stability will take care of itself.

Don't forget, posting criticism actually causes the team to lose! It's science!

Peking was a real lame duck though.

First play of the game: yolobomb to Toure who went up and stole it from the safety. Opened up everything.

Now West Virginia holds them to 16, so I guess that wasn't as big an accomplishment as I wanted it to be. Still, I can't complain about Chinander, heck of a job restoring some actual pride to that side of the ball.
