True2tRA Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 I believe I've just read the most f'd up thing I've ever read here. Wow. Quote Link to comment
Redux Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 but honestly i think Berringer dying probably has the least impact. Congratulations, you got your attention. Quote Link to comment
Abdullah the Butcher Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 but honestly i think Berringer dying probably has the least impact. Congratulations, you got your attention. In terms of affecting the direction of the program he is right, in terms of affecting the fans and human reaction he is wrong. Quote Link to comment
RedRedJarvisRedwine Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 I'd get rid of the off season! 42 game schedule with some bye weeks in there followed by a 16 team playoff Quote Link to comment
HuskersNC949597 Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 I haven't seen this specifically mentioned yet: whatever the hell it was that was distracting Craig Bohl. Maybe if he coached our defense like he coached North Dakota, Pedey never would have gone on his adventure in the first place? Who knows. Quote Link to comment
Hujan Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Callahan, hands down. And not just because it made 2004-2007 blow chunks, but also because it made half our fan base so insecure and lowered standards so much that we're content with 6 wins over terrible teams, 3 lucky wins over decent teams, 2 blow out losses, and a couple more close loses to teams we should have beat. Ad infinitum. Quote Link to comment
TGHusker Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Texas - remove them and we play and most likely play in & win the 1996 NCG. Remove Texas - we don't fumble against them in the 1999 game and we play for the National championship as an undefeated team with a good chance of winning it. - 2 more championships - one for Tom one for Frank. Might have been harder to fire Frank after a 10-3 season just a few seasons removed from a NC. & No 1 second issue Remove Texas just because I can't stand them. 2nd runner up: Tip Extra Point 1983. I think if Tom wins the NC then, the rest of the 1980s may have been set up for a 94-97 type run - while 1984-89 were still good outside of OU and bowl games, we might have been at another level.

Redux Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 This guy Did anybody else see the friggin Corn King Mascot at the Heroes Game. If somebody could find a picture of this thing I believe what needs to be removed would be unanimous. Quote Link to comment
I am I Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 62-36... Pretty good one here. I remember I had just moved to colorado that summer and I was working at this bar w tons of older CU fans (I was 24, most were in their 40s) and they still considered themselves a rival/equal of ours. There was a girl who was a husker fan who went to the game and came back in the next week, we just could barely talk. I was just like, "what the hell happened, I've never ever seen that before." She said it was bizzaro world, and we were just speechless. Needless to say until the day I left that job I never ever lived that fateful night down. I think, looking back, it was the first time I ever thought "are we not indomitable?" "maybe we will not always go 12-2 and be in the top 5-6 teams." That night was truly the beginning chink in the armor and eventual slow progression that we really haven't been the same sense. Also, if LP withheld his idiotic behavior until he was well into his NFL career, that would save a lot of grief. Quote Link to comment
lo country Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Remove the fact Carl Crawford chose baseball. He could have been the piece that allowed Frank success. Quote Link to comment
suh_fan93 Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 The Bill Callahan era. Also in second place Bo Pelini's tirades acting like a horses ass on the sidelines. Quote Link to comment
AFhusker Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 The loss to Texas in 1996. We go on to win a 3rd straight National Title, and hence, a 4th, becoming the grandest run not only in College football, but probably all sports. I know. I'm a greedy pile of crap. Screw Bama. I am with you there...F Texass and F Bama. Quote Link to comment

That was a players wife...and we lost a potential NFL HOF DL because of it. Quote Link to comment

Ad infinitum. I think you are still blaming Bill for Frank's shortcomings. The majority of those players were recruited by Frank that Bill had to work with. Quote Link to comment
