I don't know I'm feeling a bit lacking in patience today and saw a post about this. To anyone that is spouting off at the mouth and/or actually believes that Nebraska is an afterthought in the national spotlight, that we aren't relevant on the national stage, that nobody has Nebraska in mind or whatever similar train of thought you want to throw in there - can you just shut your mouths? It's simply not true. We ranked 14th in the nation in merchandise sold. We've played every single game on national television for the last two years - and every single game on some kind of television for the last five. 20 of our last 27 games have been on ABC, ESPN or FOX. We've been ranked in the top 10 nationally 14 weeks over the last three season. We've been ranked in the top 25 nationally 37 out of 46 weeks over the four seasons. We've played for three BCS conference championship games in the last four seasons - losing two of them by a combined 4 points. One of our very own just won the ESPY award for "Sports Moment of the Year" The team's Harlem Shake video has gone viral with several million views and ESPN features. We just won ESPN's "Ultimate Team Championship" tournament or whatever the hell it's called. Yeah I know I know.... "we get embarassed every time we are on national primetime" - I know that. Everybody knows that. The thing is, if we weren't relevant, nobody would know about it. So just stop. Stop being obtuse and stop depracating on our program, coaches and players. We are plenty relevant.
