84HuskerLaw Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Ath Dept netted $12,500,000 for fiscal 7/21 to 7/22 from a Google check just now. 2020 was a loss of $40 million I recall. Quote Link to comment

Me thinks it ain’t happening. Really? I don't think I've heard that talk for the last 20 years but will say that talk as picked up steam when the previous staff was around plus having radio stations promoting stopping the sellout streak. All that talk certainly doesn't help. 3 Quote Link to comment

All that talk certainly doesn't help. Fan support survived Callahan, the waning days of the Pelini era, Mike Riley and Frost. I don’t think we need to worry about it disappearing on Rhule’s watch. Now if he fails miserably (not gonna happen) and the next hire is a complete dog, well, then maybe we can talk. 1 1 Quote Link to comment
Red Five Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Anyone else remember people saying 5 years ago that if Frost can't turn it around we are done for good and will never recover? 3 5 Quote Link to comment

Dang it...that's right. That means Rhule is a failure already and we just need to realize it and accept our place in college football. We might need to move down to FCS. 1 1 Quote Link to comment
runningblind Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 5 hours ago, BigRedBuster said: No. If Rhule fails, we will go spend a ton of money on the next staff and eventually, one will start winning again. We will spend money again yes. There is no guarantee anyone will win here, or that most people will continue to care about this program however. Quote Link to comment

That was me, and I really felt it too so I am guilty of that (although I never said it on the board, and only to myself internally and to my close peeps. But it's still the same thing) I even felt it again the day he got fired 1 Quote Link to comment

Me thinks it ain’t happening. Didn't we have boosters buy out empty seats to maintain the streak over the last two years? An artificial dump to keep a "differentiator" alive. 1 1 Quote Link to comment

I never bought into that. I think anyone can win here. But I also believed 1000% Frost was the guy. 1 1 Quote Link to comment

I think everyone did. A lot of people also thought a drunk monkey could get us 9 wins after Pelini got fired.... 3 Quote Link to comment
runningblind Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Rhule might get it done, I like him. All of you saying winning will definitely happen again, and fan support is an unlimited pool that will never run dry should think twice about speaking in absolutes. Nothing is certain, and nothing lasts forever. To declare otherwise is folly. 1 Quote Link to comment
Crusader Husker Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Husker go 8-4 plus revamping the stadium to subtract a few seats and make it more comfortable. Tickets will move. The tough part?? Going 8-4 Quote Link to comment
