Aren't graphs fun? 1) You didn't use the same metric as I. I used win percentage. Not total wins. 2) even with that, this graph shows two programs holding relatively steady across a random 8 year time span, during which each program hit plateaus in their overall trendline. No one measures long term trends in 8 year clips. I get that you're trying to play devils advocate and illustrate how data can be cherry picked and looked at differently, but dude that's a stretch and a half. 1 Quote Link to comment

It's simply using a different frame of reference for what you want to look at. And Nebraska was not "relatively steady" in that timeframe. There was a 25-ish% increase. You're just trying to semantic it because you want to say something different. Same for saying it has to be long-term. That's just what you want it to be that because that's the story you want to tell. Going back several years and multiple coaching staffs is plenty to see if a program is on the rise or on the decline. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment

If you want to measure long-term trends by winning percentage, Clemson has been trending down since 1981 and Nebraska has been trending down since 1994. 1 1 Quote Link to comment

And because its going to snow this week, it certainly can't mean the earth is warming. - Its all good dude. This has already gone on too long for a joke that Clemson somehow stole our mojo. If you need a win, here you go, take it. I'll ship you a medal sometime. Quote Link to comment

Actually, your post shows Jim Halpert wanting it to stop several years ago. So technically, you never said you wanted it to stop at any time since you posted the GIF. Quote Link to comment

Simple point up there and it's being mixed in with wheat straw after quoting it. But it's all good I guess. I learned that our D can be tough through the whole game no matter what they threw or ran at us. The awarded shirts of Black nature were apparently well earned. Good job by our coaches. I also learned that our Heinrich guy is immature or some other mild word that recognizes his medium/high athletic abilities while noticing his opting for lesser actions at times on the field under duress.

Cool thanks, so if I'm understanding your heel digging properly, you think that in 2023 we are still very much trending downward right? 1 Quote Link to comment
presidentjlh Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 This team is very much better than last year. Still not a great team. Defense is good. Offense is just in shambles, but at this point, it isn't entirely their fault, devastated by injuries. Quote Link to comment
cheekygeek Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 While recognizing that he took a step back in his development against NW, I think people are not appreciating what Haarberg has done for this team: LEAD. He’s a leader and the team plays hard for him. With him under center, the team has improved from 0-2 to be 5-3. Those of you just concentrating on his faults kind of nauseate me. Also, he would probably benefit from an actual QB Coach, which Nebraska does not have. Quote Link to comment

If Sims had shown he was clearly better, I would agree that he should play. But, he didn’t. So, if two QBs have shown they are equally bad, stick with the one that is winning games. And….that has nothing to do with one being from Nebraska and the other not. 2 Quote Link to comment
