  1. nothing new since 2007...

     

    what?  there was a game today? . kids home from K state, went coyote hunting all morning , now watching Iowa State, duck hunting tomorrow...

     

    shocking this is where I have arrived,  never thought it would be possible. but I learned in Nebraska how to work hard and earn it...the university hasn't been earning it.....

     

     

     

  2. just be competitive and competent.  

     

    we need to be competitive in the Big 10. Period.  its not happening. I don't think any of us are thinking about the 90s program/experience. we need to be decent year in year out. , we might get to and Win the B1G championship once in a while...if the ebb and flow of  winning/losing it once in a while gets us to a NC every 20 years, great. We can at least be as good as Wisconsin....if you think we cannot. its over. the 20th most valuable program in the NCAA will be done. we have the money, facilities, fan base by a mile.

    K-State is the only school you named with a similar recruiting disadvantage to us. I don't even think recruiting is the problem, but you didn't help you self with those comparisons.

    that came across wrong, and I think Nebraska  can recruit with the best of them(always the indian, not the arrow) but you have to have coaches the kids will come here to play for. Nebraska is not viewed as a place to go get better, compete for Conference and national championships and get to the NFL.

    Not to mention the increased cost of alcohol while having to take what was formerly a post game buzz to the now familiar weekly ritual of drinking to a sloppy, potentially marriage wrecking, state of memory loss.    

    +100 awesome

  5. I have often wondered how many people there are out there like me.

     

    I never missed listening , watching or attending a game from early 70's( I was born in 1966 in Lincoln) until about 5 years ago. I used to go to bowls, travel to games, buy junk, etc. then it became more sporadic in the last 5 years. Now? I didn't even know when the game started today and when I came in at half and saw the score, it barely registered. I left in the 4th to mow when we were down by 3 cause I literally didn't care, I had other stuff that needed to be done. When I came in I saw the final,  I just didn't care.  This has to be bad for business and spell  some kind of end for the program as we have known it at least in my lifetime. that football program supports everything up there.

     

    I used to be a core customer, entertaining clients in Lincoln, buying stuff etc. there has to be a gazillion guys and gals like me with marketing budgets or just more discretionary money as we get older who have lost interest. that has to be 10s of millions of dollars to the economy and university..I know the full payout kicks in this year and its big, but it could be way bigger. Replacing this coaching staff and AD has to pale  in comparison to the lost revenue this university is facing? We paid over $2M for 2 mid major teams to come to Lincoln and as far as I'm concerned,  2 losses. We are playing at a mid level mid Major level now. this is V 4.0 of the "rebuild" and it s a failure.  And don't tell me its hard to recruit to Lincoln ..it hasn't impacted OU, K state and clearly not places like Penn state and Michigan.

     

    And before you come after me as a fair weather fan, at least for me, at some point  you start asking yourself if there are other things you should be doing....there is just so much time and money...and in some ways I'm not convinced the university is working as hard for the fan as the fan is working to be at the game.

    Nebraska athletics has one last staple of greatness in collegiate sports and that is the sell out streak. Whenever rumblings start happening about the streak in jeopardy, we tend to get a new coach. Well it did with Callahan anyway.

    without corporate money it would have ended a long time ago
