C N Red Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Let's get it done then. History says we are only 2 years away from winning a NC. '71 to '94 is 23 years. '97 to '20 will be 23 years. 1 Quote Link to comment
Stumpy1 Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 I do agree with Moos. We are probably sitting around that 8 or 9 mark as of right now. Since the beginning of 2017, these schools have dropped serious cash into their facilities. NW: $265 million Purdue: $300 million Mich: $168 million Illini: $79 million Rutgers: $115 million There are others teams like tOSU and Michigan St. that have spent $7.8 and $5 million on upgrades in the last year. Iowa is currently adding onto their stadium but couldn't find what they are spending. They also built a new indoor facility and updated a bunch of stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment
4skers89 Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 I wonder if the dome will cost over or under $500 million. 1 Quote Link to comment

We should spend $301 million then. 1 Quote Link to comment

Landlord Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 We're nowhere near 8th or 9th in the league. The stadium counts as 'football facilities', for one. So does the weight room, which is still one of the biggest and best in America. So does the locker room, which is as nice and decked out as anyone else's. Quote Link to comment

The Dark Age of Cornhusker Football that began with the outbreak of WWII was the same length: Biff Jones's last conference championship was in 1940 (which was also Nebraska's first bowl game appearance in the Rose Bowl), and Bob Devaney's first CC was in 1963. 1 Quote Link to comment

I'm sure I'm forgetting a couple. Tulane built their own stadium on campus 3-4 years ago. Yulman Stadium. Its pretty nice. 2 Quote Link to comment

Exactly. But some sort of wrought iron option like this (from the aptly-named Cornstalk Hotel in New Orleans) might work. Quote Link to comment

The locker room is nice, but it isn't big enough for the new roster size, and it's a good walk from the locker room to the indoor practice facility. Quote Link to comment

If any other locker rooms in the B1G can house 150 players I'll rescind my statement. Quote Link to comment

It’s only lacking in size because we want a thousand walk ons. This is not to say I don’t want it expanded. I want everything bigger and better. Quote Link to comment
