Cornfed Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 You felt this much of a buzz about Nebraska football? God it sucked missing a bowl in the biggest tease of a way.. but there’s something brewing, I can feel it. I know nothing is official yet but I’ll relish in it for what it is. It’s been a dry 12 or so years (more really).. feels good to get some water. 1 4 Quote Link to comment
I am I Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 Suh was the last time this much buzz. 2nd place was Frost coming home 3rd place was the last 5 weeks of Bo, which was bad buzz 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment

He was going to be the bigger, badder Tommie. Very different guys, but that's how elevated the hype was. Quote Link to comment

That's when (the off-season) I get excited with all the changes to the roster it keeps me on the edge of my seat. Quote Link to comment

Crusader Husker Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 This is the thing that people don't like about us, even when we suck, we matter. Even when we suck, millions of people watch our games. Even when we suck, people spend money on the product. Even when we suck, eyeballs are looking at us. BUT WHEN WE DON"T SUCK, WE CAUSE TREMORS THROUGHOUT COLLEGE FOOTBALL!! This is what pisses a lot of people off. 4 Quote Link to comment
TGHusker Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 We are a hungry bunch- that is for sure. The last time there was this much excitement - The 1000+ page thread about Scott Frost coming back to Nebraska to be coach. It was a match made in football heaven as we and the national media thought. Unfortunately that didn't pan out. But I think if all of these pieces fall in place, I believe Rhule is the right guy to make it work. Quote Link to comment

The second step was him bringing in good players. NOW....I believe we have a good staff. We are now on to the second step of bringing in the good players. Further down the road to rebuilding the program. Quote Link to comment
Fru Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 The chatter about Jim Tressell coming to Neb after the Bo firing was a pretty wild, though short lived, time. Quote Link to comment

knapplc Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 The excitement around Frost coming home to coach was bigger than this. That seemed like a slam dunk hire to all of college football, and Nebraska was guaranteed to return to respectability. This seems much more ethereal. Even if we get Raiola, McCord, Kaelin, Etienne and Fleming, which is a monumental task, it still feels like we'll find a way to mess up and miss a bowl game. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment
