Honestly, when is the last time you were truly excited about husker football and its season ahead (ie potential championships)? For me, probably 2011. Long time ago...
Always excited for the upcoming season but haven't been "championship excited" ever since the 2001 debacle in Boulder. That game forever changed something in me.
I'm always excited for the seqson to start, but I feel extremely jaded now. There's just not much to get excited about it seems. We're always missing key pieces the last 5 or 6 years.
