Some journalist thinks our program sucks

[HuskerNBigD]

You have to look at it in this way for nearly 30 years we destroyed most teams in the big 8/big 12 minus the annual and only true rivalry with Oklahoma but even in the mid 90's we killed them. So when we started our horrific decline the writers around the Midwest loved it and finally could bash on Nebraska. And they had reason to in the mid part of this decade it sucked waking up and knowing we were going to get killed by the likes of Texas tech in 04 and the terrible season of 07. Now that we are starting to progress back up the pecking order of the big 12 elites I think us as husker fans are looking for too much credit to soon. We have yet to have a defining victory for Bo. Hopefully that'll change Thursday but we still have the curse of not beating a top 20 team on the road in over 10 years. Until we can compete and beat top ten top 15 teams we won't get much credit from writers outside of nebraska.

So what. I dont care what journalist think of Nebraska and if the think we suck or not.

 

I think a lot of journalists suck as well. So i guess we are even

Vince how can you say KU and MU are better programs than we are currently? WTF. It's not all about wins and losses you know. Plus if I recall...MU's record las year was 10-4, KU's 8-5 to our 9-4. We are right there in the thick of things. We are down by OUR standards but not theirs.

Let's simplify things. If were comatose for the 20 years and you woke up four years ago and had the last four years of CURRENT success as your only barometer - who would you say is the more successful program of the three and who is the least successful program of the three?

 

Anybody and everybody with football and success knowledge will admit the Callafraud "error" really put NU behind the eight-ball. The program is making improvements but has a long ways to go to reach NU Football standards and success. With this noted, MU and KU have passed NU. Can NU catch them? Without questions they can. But right now MU and KU are just that much better than NU in terms of total program.

Last four years....well 06 won the North, last year placed ahead of KU, Ku never won the north, placed ahead of us when....05? 04?

You're judging things through a lens of Osborne-Era Huskers. Since Solich was fired we're 39-27, a record most teams wouldn't scoff at. By Husker standards that's horrific, but for most of the college football world, it's about what they're used to.

Read it again and comprehend it at least once.

 

Here's a hint. If one were comatosed for 20 years the Osborne era wouldn't be a factor.

 

Okay, now try again.

Do we have to go through this again? Do we need another half dozen people to tell you you're missing the point? Again? I read what you said. What you said is wrong, because most college programs would be just fine with a 39-27 record. You're not judging this as would "most programs," you're judging this through the lens of a winning program. From a baseline of zero, ignoring our winning past, looking at this like the vast majority of programs out there, our record is not only fine, but the norm. The ONLY reason it's "bad" is we're used to winning more. And we're used to winning more because of the Osborne Era.

You're the best at not being able to follow along. It's great, you can't and don't comprehend yet you continue to guess at what I and others are posting/ thinking, and judging. You are the best of them all.

 

Oh....by the way. Most programs would not not be fine with a 39 - 27 record. Thinkng that way explains your concept of success which explains your posts. We get it and you now.

 

Please don't take this as a slam, because it's not. It's a statement of where we now know where you are coming from. Things make sense now.

journos are a bunch of wankers... especially Sip of course. Like someone else said, it wont sell papers if the guy goes on about how good NU is and that mizzery is set to lose... who in mizzery would buy that article?

 

 

Fixed it for you.

 

Thats terrible... but still funny. I take you have nothing against Brian then?

Glad you liked it. Brian is as good as the topics he covers and the extent he reaches out.

Ok you conviced me. Ku and Mu rule and we just suck.

[Vince from ShamWOW]

NU doesn't suck. But their program, at their point, is not equal to those of MU and KU. They are on the way, but they are not their yet.

 

Sorry to disappoint you ,but I just call it like it is - not the way I see it or want to see it.

Do you really think "most" college football programs would be fine with winning less than 60% of their games? I can't think it would go over too well at a lot of programs. Of the 120 programs, 51 active coaches have a winning percentage better than this.

I bet Texas and OU love watching us argue over who is best in the North. Who cares. I think I share Bo's mindset that the North is nothing to strive for. Bill Callahan strove to "Win the North Title!" F-That. Bo wants to win the BIG 12 CONFERENCE TITLE. Who cares about "power shifts" in the North. I say we just play our game and ignore the sissies that are just trying to get all the attention they can before we are playing for CC's and NC's again.
