We're still relevant nationally.

If he only he was a Freshman then he could really get his stats up there.

Funny, reminiscing about Bo's good ol'days.  Thats what we have become.  Our current coach always sucks, and the last one had better stats.  I'm sure we had some doing that when Bo took over about Callahan.............NAH!

We've only played Ohio State 3 times if you don't count the two times before 1960...

 

Bo did get blown out in Columbus, but he didn't get 63-3 blown out.

 

I wasn't even that big of fan of Bo, but quite honestly, I kind of miss him. This new staff is embarrassing. It's more of a conversation piece to talk about how bad the Huskers are and talk to my friends about how good Iowa looks this year.

 

 

It was only 62-3, c'mon man!

Because 63-38 meltdown in 2012 was so much better?

I remember it sucked. But we also beat them in a pretty exciting game the previous year. Additionally, Ohio state was probably the best team in the country that year. The only reason 2012 really sucked was because our loss to OSU and Wisconsin. It seemed like we couldn't win the big games.

 

But all of that, in reality and in retrospect, is infinitely better than struggling to beat bottom-tier teams and losing to non-p5 opponents.

 

So yes. It was so much better. And I'm not afraid to admit that.

I mean .... it still sucked.  But we were at least competent on one side of the ball.  38 points is more than we've scored on any Power 5 team in the last year and a half.  If you offered me 38 points against tOSU this year I think I'd jump at it in a heartbeat.

It's just sad that we're talking about which time we gave up 60+ to OSU was the most pleasant.

If the season stays a bust, shouldn't we all hit the airwaves and call out the geniuses who called Riley a great choice?

Can the experts at ESPN Disney be relied on for anything meaningful?

How long before we have to have helmets with Mickey Mouse ears?

You miss BO and this staff is embarrassing - this is comical.... What was Wisc record when Bo allowed them to paste 70 on us?  Who was the HC when fans refer to 408?

You're right. It is sad. It's how sad this new coaching staff is.

What was that quote? something to the effect of "and I know how to coach defense"  the kiss of death - like in golf when you say you "got it" that usually means with in a couple shots - you've lost it....

I think the quote was specifically about run defense.
