I didn't catch who was on, but they started talking about Big Ten's decision to play. They said something about OSU being able to play with a good team and "making Nebraska happy so they don't leave the conference". When he mentioned Nebraska, it was almost in disgust. It just pissed me off. Pathetic to see guys working for ESPN that are so poorly informed. We were never leaving, just wanted to play football this season. 1 Quote Link to comment

Osborne and Byrne butted head at times. Osborne wanted more spending for football, while Byrne wanted to spread the wealth to the rest of the athletic department. Plus, Osborne demanded he name his successor and not Byrne. That led to friction between Solich and Byrne. It's not surprising that Byrne left NU in 2002. 1 Quote Link to comment

So perhaps it is now the most unified since the days of Spanier (Chancellor)/Massengale (Pres)/Devaney (AD)/Osborne (Coach), if we are comparing to the current Green/Carter/Moos/Frost lineup. I'm sure there was tension between those guys in some ways (probably not much between Devaney and Osborne), but it seems maybe we just didn't hear about it as much back then. Not compared to the Bryne/Osborne, Pederson/Everyone, Eichorst/Pelini turmoil of the more recent past (as well as Perlman). I do remember when Spanier made the wisecrack after leaving Nebraska and starting at Penn State, saying that he now knew that in actuality the Penn State receiver in 1982 was in bounds. What a freaking wanker. Quote Link to comment

And you're right; this is probably the most unified we've been as a program since 1997, with a small caveat to 2008. 3 1 Quote Link to comment

They are not concerned about it at all. Its just ad hominem used to deflect from them being completely wrong and not wanting to admit it now. Quote Link to comment

As soon as we start to understand football, comes the 20 years of frustration. 2 Quote Link to comment
Ulty Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 The fact that some of you young bucks have remained steadfast fans even though you largely missed the glory years says...something. I really hope that you have an opportunity to see the Huskers become truly good again at some point so your loyalty can be rewarded. I was very lucky to be in high school and college between 1993-2001 and was able to celebrate all of the greatest moments in my youth, but in the process became spoiled. Nothing else will ever compare. 3 4 Quote Link to comment
