Ziebol Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 48-17, 45-17, 30-13, 63-38, 70-31, 45-31 and 41-21. Those are scores from national televised games that are considered relevant. Let those numbers sink in. 48-17, 45-17, 30-13, 63-38, 70-31, 45-31 and 41-21. Quote Link to comment

Not to burst your bubble, I think they need to figure out how to... a) fix the defense, and soon b) fix the offense, and soon c) worry less about being "relevant" Quote Link to comment

Count 'Bility Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 This thread is relevant imo. This is a repetitive thread of relevance hence making it irrelevant, imo. Quote Link to comment
HuskerJax Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 It's simple, in Nebraska we are relevant elsewhere no one even thinks twice about us. I live in Michigan and can tell you Nebraska is seen on the same level as Illinois, Iowa. and Minnesota. Nobody here has taken us seriously since the 90s. When I tell people I am a husker fan I always get the same reaction: a slight snicker a questioning look, and then typically they walk away. Not even worthy of a good spirited insult, or jab about the blowouts. We just don't matter. Sorry, it is reality. Us making the ccg last year is seen more as a product of Michigan having a down year. They don't even want to argue about 97 anymore. Quote Link to comment
WAHusker Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Same on the West coast. Everyone has heard of Nebraska because of the 90s, but they view us as a middle tier team. Cant say we have done anything since 2001 that would make them think otherwise. Quote Link to comment

Since we have joined the big ten, they just don't care anymore. Another drumming in Ann Arbor will seal our irrelevance in the minds of big blue. MSU, just hates us because they seem to be the only relevant big ten school that can't embarrass us. But maybe that will change this year too. Quote Link to comment
Cy the Cyclone Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Relevant? Of course the Huskers aren't relevant anymore. Have been less and less relevant every year since the Big 12 expansion....can't blame the team though. Lots of factors come into play: What Made Nebraska Football Relevant: Annual Nebraska vs the Legion of Doom Thanksgiving Day Game to determine who went to the Orange Bowl to play for the national title. This game in and of itself always made the team relevant to football fans across the country as it was the ultimate battle of good vs evil. What Ended Nebraska Football Relevancy: *Admitting Texas into the United States *The forward pass *The first televised shot of someone wearing a foam ear of corn on his head *Cable TV *Little Red *Jamaal Lord The list goes on and on...and now you're in a conference that is made up of Michigan, Ohio State and some other schools that play football that nobody really knows (Purdue...isn't that a brand of chicken) which doesn't do a lot of legitimatize the Husker's relevancy.... Face it...Nebraska football is like the dial telephone or the 8-track tape. They were great in their day and we old people remember when they were the greatest thing around but the world has moved on. 2 Quote Link to comment
