papersun87 Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 So if you don't win a national title in the first 5 years of coaching at a school you never will? That's dreadful, and empty logic by a very talented writer.... I don't think he means winning a national title, I think he means winning a conference title, or not having nationally televised meltdowns every year. Quote Link to comment
husker_99 Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 The Big Ten is now really starting to pick up and the gap between our conference and the SEC is closing. Make no mistakes, the athletes were on the roster to beat Georgia last year guys. We had every opportunity to beat them as we did South Carolina the year before. Funny how each game turned with an Ameer fumble. What would be the feeling on this board had we beat Georgia? We would be talking MNC run. To further my point, NW beat an SEC team in their Bowl Game, Michigan had every chance to beat South Carolina, and the funny thing about this whole thing is that everybody was playing one bowl game up from where they should have been. In all actuality, our conferences best team was in the Club House come bowl season and another team in Penn State that would have been a tough draw for any team was doing the same. The problem isn't our mid tier beating their mid tier. It's always been about the big bowl games. Our top teams against their top teams we lose. just because we play them close should never be a victory. Next year they may smoke all of our top teams, one year doesn't make a trend. The only advantage the Big Ten has against other conferences are the independents, MAC, and WAC. all other conferences in bowl games we trail. Quote Link to comment
Micheal Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 I say Bo is the man for the forseeable future. Just like with Tom it takes time. Get an atmosphere of hard work and character, eventually it will pay off. Quote Link to comment

You didn't use any factual based information to draw your conclusion. Stop watching ESPN, The SEC is not THAT much better than everyone else. They are still the best, but the gap is closing fast. It's really proven by last bowl season that the gap isn't as wide as ESPN wants us to think. 1 Quote Link to comment

The SEC vs the Big Ten in bowls is 40-25. http://www.footballgeography.com/college-football-conference-vs-conference-bowl-records/ Like i said 1 year is not a trend. 1 Quote Link to comment

I'm not so sure that accounts for conference realignment, which pretty much changes the whole ballgame. Just throwing that out there. I'd rather see that information, than the information from 100 years ago until now. Quote Link to comment

I mean I believe Minnesota is beating Nebraska in the series history column but they definitely aren't destroying the Huskers now. Quote Link to comment

tschu Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Pelini is the man for the job and barring some totally ridiculous 1 in a million catastrophe this season, his job is safe for quite awhile. He also does things the right way and his team is rarely in the spotlight for the wrong reasons. Unfortunate that the national perception of him stems from the 2010 A&M game. Quote Link to comment

I would agree with you if TO was still AD but since he isn't anymore, it's going to be up the new AD on how long he will keep Pelini. Quote Link to comment
