Does it make you mad Missouri/Texas A&M are having success?

Neither of those programs had to endure Pederson and Callahan. They destroyed so much of what made us great. We are struggling to get back to where we once were. Long road with an offence that is a big time change away from what always gave us an vantage and to a defense that just doesn't seem to be able to grasp the concept of what wearing a black shirt at Nebraska means. As for Missouri and Texas AnM don't give a $hit.

I will never understand why if Nebraska fans are supposed to be so smart, that they give Frank a pass for putting the program in the tolilet in the first place. I also don't care about what those two schools do in the SEC, if anything I agree that it is funny that the SEC can't defend against Big 12 offenses. It's not hard to make your defenses look good when nobody in that conference's playbook is larger than four plays.

Alabama has had a tougher schedule at this point vs. 1995 Nebraska Cornhuskers. Excuses. Not to mention Alabama is in a tougher conference and have more games. If they win out and win a 3rd straight natty, they will remove that greatest team ever title from the 95 Huskers. Let's hope that doesn't happen for the sake of our program since we depend so much on our legacy.

95 Nebraska beat 4 teams that finished in the top ten by an average of 49-18.

Wow I missed this thread this is great

Missouri still has to play Ole Miss, Tennessee, South Carolina, Texas A&M. They could very easily blow their lead in the East. Missouri-South Carolina game will be huge.

+1 You win the thread sir.

 
if we should be mad at anything, it should be when neb. under-performs. but good for mizzou, even though i do think they blow this season and miss out on the SEC championship.

 
No, In fact I'm somewhat happy because A&M and Mizzery joined by Huskers fled in Big 12 conference. Haha and goodbye bevo and lap dogs!

We did begin to drop off under Solich, though maintaining what we did in the 90's would be a tall order for anyone.....perhaps even a tall order for Osborne to maintain. With that said, Solich did not miss a bowl or have two losing seasons. And to Pelini's credit, he took over our program that had two losing seasons in the previous five and has done very well. We won 9 the year before Callahan and again the year after......losing records and missed bowls are on Callahan.

Am I mad Missouri and Texas AnM are winning games? You mean like some sort of jealous feeling? A Nebraska fan jealous of Missouri or Texas AnM?

You're funny.

 
Nah. I'm from Mo. so it's cool but it won't last. We've beaten both of these teams in the past-Missouri repeatedly, Let them enjoy their time in the limelight. We need to worry about Nebraska and make sure that we are ready to play Minesota next week

 
I'm starting to get a handle on how this SEC/polls thing works...

1) Put almost all of them in the preseason top 25.

2) Did ranked SEC team #1beat ranked SEC team #2? Yes? Hooray. You just beat a spectacular team, SEC team #1. You move up 8 spots. SEC team #2? Oops. But you lost to a spectacular team! You're only punished by dropping one spot. After all...look at who you lost to!

3) SEC team #2 beats the hell out of a non-con team? Way to go! Move up 5 spots. SEC team #1 loses a close one to a non-con team? Oops. But you beat SEC team #2 a week ago, so it must've been a fluke. You only drop 2 spots.

4) SEC team #3 beats SEC #2. Congrats SEC team #3, move up 6 spots! Oops SEC team #2. But it's ok, because you only lost to yet another spectacular team, so you only fall two spots.

And around and around we go

FWIW, and maybe it's been mentioned already...but there are 4 teams ranked in the AP with two losses. 3 are from the SEC.

Since I live in Missouri, their success is very annoying to me. The sudden passion, and arrogance of their "fan base" is nauseating. After the Georgia win there were a couple "fans" at work who were already talking about their shot at Alabama, and the possibilities of a national title. It's odd when most of the Missouri gear you see looks brand new. Probably just high quality material.....

I'm feeling ya. Tigers fans are coming out of nowhere. It's super annoying.

Which toilet are you talking about? That he didn't win every game and an NC? Did he get the same kind of grace period that TO got. Did he have a supportive AD like TO did? Davaney as opposed to Pederson? No he didn't? Frank was basically picked by TO and Pederson couldn't handle that. He wanted to have his coach and install a new flashy offence. Sorry Steve you screwed up. As for everything else you said, so what?

i dont think AF has the proper perspective of the times. Frank suffered one really bad year. One. Just One, and IMMEDIATELY made the tough decision of making wholesale staff and philosophical changes in order to right the ship. Alienating several tenured assistant coaches who had spent the majority of their adult lives at Nebraska. In doing so, and in hiring a younger, "more hip" and motivate staff, the recruiting began to pick up, and obvious improvements were made, but were'nt "good enought" and was canned anyway. THAT'S what tore the program apart and set us back.
