The United States of Nebraska Football

[Saunders]

Since 1962, Nebraska's football record is 499-134-5, by far No. 1 in the country. Despite 14 years without a conference championships, the Cornhuskers have won 78.6 percent of their games since Bob Devaney's arrival.

They could go 0-12 next season, second-place Ohio State could go 14-0 and the standings wouldn't change.

How did that happen? How did Nebraska build a football empire in the nation's 37th most populous state?

This is Dirk at his best. I love it when he researches/writes stuff like this.

I thought this was gonna be like the Mt. Rushmore post and you were gonna have photos of the 50 best players on the roster.

Agreed. He should stick to stuff that's more like this and the turnover article from last year(?) and cut down on the veiled trolling articles.

It was a good article, which Dirk can write. He was using stats to show where Nebraska's athletes come from. It wasn't some veiled attempt to use stats to push his agenda at something.

What the hell, Dirk? How can I continue to hate you if you write articles like this??
