You get the tradition and history comments from those that have signed.
Most made the comment they know little about Nebraska other than we ran an antiquated offense. Now that BC is here that has changed and no one could be happier about that.
I agree totally the problem has left. I am a big fan of BC and have sent alot of money to the program since he was hired.
This program was living in the past with Frank at the controls. I like Frank and I personally know him. I have not met BC yet, was suppose to this fall during the Wake Forest week, but had a near death in the family and did not get back on the day I was suppose to see him. I have spoken to him on the phone twice and I am very impressed with him to say the least. I have voiced that since day one. I have been a booster of this program for over 30 years and I am not talking a couple of hundred a year.
I love this team and program and admire the history and tradition. Lately that is all we have had to hang our hats on. I want new history and tradition yearly that I can be proud of. Look forward young man that is the future and what we need to prevail in. I never want this program to have to only think about the past and how great it was. Every year needs to be great, but we need to only worry about who is getting better and who our competition is not who we have beaten 10 years ago.
We are on the same page, I am just alot older I would guess, and I still want some great games and future wins that I can razz my SC friends about.
We are on track to RESTORE THE ORDER. But it only has to do with the coaching staff and their ability to bring in the right kids to the program. We were badly out recruited this year by the top programs. But I have faith that BC will make this work and next year we will see the recruiting year we all want. That my friend will be the History and Tradition that the 2006 seniors can look at and make the decession to join the BIG RED!!!.
we are not on the same page... you talk about how history isnt important then end your statement that the 2006 seniors can look back at history...
it makes me sick that you consider us not to be a top program, we are only the 3rd or 4th most winning team of all time..
if all you are worried about is your SC friends... nevermind... and if you need to be reminded of tradition yearly... yikes.
you cant grade a recruiting class until they are finished here. just because rivals didnt give all our recruits 5 stars doesnt mean we were out recruited... tell that to the coaches that are out there recruiting.. go to Coach Callahan and his staff on fan day and tell them that they were out-recruited.
there is no exact science to recruiting. have more faith in the recruits we signed. at least we are filling out our classes, Frank the tank couldnt accomplish that. sh#t we've been out recruited for years with frank at the helm... i can give you statistics, if you wish, that agree with my statement.
even though a lot of recruits that didnt sign here mentioned the tradition and history, but obviously the negatives that other programs spat out influenced their decision. that sort of thing happens, look at how many recruits switched their LOI on signing day.
but the ones that did sign is all that matters.. its who wants to be here, not who rivals or scout says that is the top 100 yadda yadda yadda and wants to go to a program that will blow smoke up their a$$ till they sign at their school.
