Last 10 games

[HuskerNation1]

I realize we have a new offensive scheme and a new DC, but I was frankly expecting more to start the 2017 season.  But then I wondered why I should be expecting more, as the 2016 season ended horribly.  With that said, when you look at our last 10 games, Nebraska is 5-5, with our best win being a 28-7 victory over Maryland.  To me beating mediocre programs like Maryland should be a base expectation, and not the biggest win in the last 10 games, and then I realize that is what this program has become and the bar has not been raised over the past few seasons.  I am still hopeful that better talent can turn things around, but I question whether we have the coaches to win on the game field.

Thing is to start last season we won something like 10 of 11 beating #5 MSU, UCLA, and Oregon with the only loss by 1 score to #4 Iowa.

I think this team is more likely to get better than worse and I'm hopeful for the rest of the season. But if the problems, rather than the potential, persist throughout the season it may definitely be a long year.

I stick with my signature line.

 

[Roll Skers]

Penn State is most likely a loss, but we can go 10-2 imo, but will that happen?

Mediocre Mike is .500 in his last 10 games?  That can't be

 

[RedDenver]

Mediocre Mike is .500 in his last 10 games?  That can't be

And .900 in the 10 games before that, but that doesn't fit your narrative.

Slick move toothpick. All the teams in your state suck so you feel the need to troll our board. I'd say see ya, wouldn't want to be ya, but we won't see ya cuz you going bye bye.

come on now don't let facts and trends get in the way of stochastic hope- 11-1 baby Mike's our man

 

[ColoradoHusk]

And .900 in the 10 games before that, but that doesn't fit your narrative.

And was .333 in the 9 games before that 10 game stretch.

It isn't my narrative

It is his...he is a career 500 coach.

 

[RedDenver]

It isn't my narrative

It is his...he is a career 500 coach.

Don't pretend like you aren't pushing the narrative that Riley was a .500 coach, so he's always going to be a .500 coach. 

 

[SuperBigFan69]

come on now don't let facts and trends get in the way of stochastic hope- 11-1 baby Mike's our man

Right now I hope Mediocre Mike does one of two things...

1.  Goes 11-1, makes the playoff, wins the NC and retires.

2.  Finishes the season with some lame record and retires.

 

[RedDenver]

And was .333 in the 9 games before that 10 game stretch.

Yep. I'm not suggesting Riley has done well, but I object to cherry-picking the data.

 

[SuperBigFan69]

Don't pretend like you aren't pushing the narrative that Riley was a .500 coach, so he's always going to be a .500 coach. 

Again...it is not my narrative.  There is nothing to pretend.  It is a fact.  He is a career 500 coach.  Now, I have not done the math but if he wins out this season maybe he goes up to 600, I am not sure.  If he does that will be what he is...a 600 career coach.

 

[Whistlepig]

And was .333 in the 9 games before that 10 game stretch.

and .500 prior to all that, but hey we knew all that going in so is there any point in bringing up facts at this juncture?

Did the press ever actually ask Eikhorst about MR's record? if so, does anyone have the video
