Something's Rotten in the State of Nebraska.

One slip up in one year is not the same of seven years of constant slip ups.

Constant slip ups? You've missed a lot of games.

Too bad, since these might have improved your mood and informed your diatribe.

So have you.

So long as you understand it doesn't give us 04-07 either.

What does Nebraska make a new coach guarantee before we let him step foot on campus? What's your minimum? Big 10 championship every other year? Playoffs every other year? Top 10 finish every year?

Me, I don't have minimum expectations, because I don't have anything invested in the team except for cable TV. It wouldn't be right for me to demand this or that when I don't even buy a t-shirt from the official Husker shop or whatever it is called. I can say I would like to see something, but it's more of a "Wouldn't it be nice if...?" than me feeling betrayal because we won a football game the wrong way.

I guess I don't have enough of my own identity wrapped up into a game played by young men I don't even know to get so upset about it.

It is what it is...

I would suppose what demands Nebraska would make to a new coach would be entirely what they thought their prospects were.

But it wouldn't have surprised me at all if they didn't place an "Indy or bust" type decree on this year.

If the Huskers dominate the next 2 games, are we still talking about McNeese St and the issues NUpolo8 listed at the beginning of this thread? Serious question.

The small stuff? No.

But the bigger issue, like an FCS team being able to key on our Heisman RB and be successful in doing so might want to be addressed before the team travels to East Lansing.

I'm not sure some posters will stop talking about it until Bo gets fired or wins the conference. No matter how good NU plays, the poor performance against a 1AA will be a reason why we'll struggle and/or lose the next game. And no matter how bad NU plays, the poor performance against a 1AA will be a reason why Bo should be fired.

I'm not criticizing anyone either. It is what it is.

They were addressed Sunday.

Bo, is that you?

For the 20th time.

That's how advertising works.

I don't think we'll learn much playing a team that lost by 39 (not a blowout by some standards but pretty close), and 32. Fresno looks to be on their way to a very rough year. Miami isn't much farther along, staring down another mediocre season. Me personally - I'll brush off McNeese after we take MSU to the wire in a hard fought game (don't have to be a win just good football) - then dominate Northwestern. I want to see us perform consistently against at least some sort of competition at least a couple weeks in a row. We won't get that for a while.

Western Illinois held Melvin Gordon to 38 yards on 17 carries, so not sure if it's uncommon for an overmatched team to base their whole game plan on stopping the best player.

Jesus.

It's a blowout sure. It's just not by 40.
