  1. So what about the 12 years prior to 1985???? TO had established himself long before then. He started head coaching in 1973 and his worst ranking before 1985 was 12th. Not to mention for many of those years when we took 2nd place it was to Oklahoma who was a college football powerhouse who we also gave a heckuva run for their money with some hard fought legendary games. Well, during those 12 years prior to 1985, Osborne very very nearly became the coach of the Buffaloes. We all know how that turned out.

Someone brought up Tom's specific six year run compared to Bo's six year run. Someone else said they weren't comparable. I thought it was comparable and fairly interesting in terms of expectations, which are definitely built on the Osborne years. I mentioned Tom's 17 years of previous experience, and how it didn't matter to many fans at the time. After the Georgia Tech loss, Tom told his assitants to get their resumes ready. And believe me, the fact that Oklahoma was a powerhouse didn't make us feel any better. No better than it would feel to lose to Ohio State every year. Since someone already brought up parity, I think it's fair and honorable to point out that no 21st Century team is likely to repeat Nebraska's 40 year run, and our current "trough" is probably enviable as troughs go. I gotcha. Thanks for explaining.
  3. 70 to nothing! Wow those were the days lol.
  4. If Dubose hadn't gotten hurt, he would have been great. Keith Jones was the Ameer Abdullah of the 1980s. One of the saddest sideline interviews I ever saw was a very humble Doug DuBose talking about his injury and how he was just going to work as hard as he could to come back. Truly a nice guy too. Nice guy. Me and my brother got our picture taken with him after he'd been injured when I was like 6 years old or so. Very cool. Do you still have that picture? If so you should post it!

  7. Doug DuBose needs mentioning and Lawrence Phillips regardless of his off the field trouble was one of our best running backs on it.
  8. I've really come to like Eric Crouch. I wasn't the biggest fan when he was playing but over the years I've really come to appreciate the things he did bring to the table. One things for sure as long as Pelini is here conversations like these will still be going on.

  12. I was bored last week and watched the Miami spring game late at night on ESPNU. Both of their quarterbacks looked horrible.

  14. Definitely agree. The Big 10 is definitely not what it used to be. I'm still trying to wrap my mind around Rutgers and Maryland as new members. Money is your answer. Well that's kind of obvious.
  15. Agree. I think going retro would be a thousand times cooler than trying to go all futuristic like a lot of teams have done which got boring real quick for me at least.
