People are acting like losing is something new. How people haven't gotten somewhat used to it by now is the shocking thing to me. I am, however, convinced we are living in an ancestor simulation whose sole purpose is to see how much pain and misery can be inflicted on Nebraska fans before they stop showing up to the games and end the sell out streak. In the real future, Nebraska continues their dominance from the 80s/90s and wins thousands of national championships. Our version of reality is too see how much crap we can put through before giving up. Quote Link to comment

Maybe we will get better, but i'm not seeing any signs of it. Less than a 2 year window. I'd hate to see how many coaches you'd burn through if you were our athletic director. Really though I could care less that you are jumping ship. 2 2 Quote Link to comment

Funny story. I'm planning a little project about Memorial Stadium, and I've been looking for decent shots of the exterior. Ran across this one this morning, an undated photo. I thought maybe it was from yesterday - until I saw the Oregon bus in the south parking lot. Quote Link to comment

Landlord Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 7 hours ago, Huckleberry Muhammad said: I'm keeping our season tix. But I do recall that back in the days Nebraska was perennially good, very good, the fact of this state's low population base and non-metropolitian/big city culture was washed out by the style of football being played then: just hard hitting run/option tough ball. That kind of football and the kind of coaching it required (throw a real block! you're not dancing with him! "hit him harder! hat to hat or put your helmet in his belly! drive him to the ground, hard!!" etc) morphed into something else entirely. Hell, there are girls starting on high school teams now, and a few colleges, as linebackers and quarterbacks, not just kickers. It's changing. Get ready for more; rules will eventually have to change (even more so) too.. think about it. Rules are already changing radically in efforts to protect players more. Rules that insurance lobbyists push through about everything from equipment to how a tackle can be made legally to which positions can be hit certain ways and which ones can't be hit that way. So, what's changing? Football itself. The "60 minutes of football and a half-hour halftime" game is twice as long now and more. Remember the hour and a half games of old? Reviews and consultations by officials and often questionable, strange "injury" time outs and commercials stretch the game to four and five hours now. Hello snoozers goodbye momentum. Nebraska thrived when it was about eleven guys and their assigned target, offence and defence and that was about it. Big guys on the line, fast guys at halfback, and a good quarterback. The programs that have adapted well and move along with the times have that ability because they have huge recruitment bases, and other reasons of course. Nebraska is still at a disadvantage even in this age of jet travelling to recruit: it ain't working. phone bad, book good 1 Quote Link to comment

He didn't exactly have a stellar career at Michigan St or in the NFL and now he leads one of the greatest college football dynasties ever. Nick Saban turned MSU around then won a NC at LSU. He had a great resume when Alabama hired him 3 Quote Link to comment
Nebfanatic Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Just now, Husker_Bohunk said: "Great" is subjective. Who available had a better resume at the time? Not alot of coaches with a NC win at that point in time. Nick Saban had a great resume in comparison to Callahan and Riley lmao. 1 Quote Link to comment
Jeremy Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Fortunately, there are a lot of other people that'll snatch those tickets up right quick. If I had the money, I would, for sure. Losing seasons or not, the Red runs deep in this state, and we'll keep showing up, in all kinds of weather. 2 1 Quote Link to comment
