The Day's of Penciling in Missouri are finished. Pinkel has built the facilities, built a winning attitude, and now is working on building tradition. Missouri is not a one year wonder. We have been "on the way" for four or five years. We haven't done it "overnight" . Pinkel has grown as a coach with the program, and has done it the right way.I agree with MUTigerFan......it's more shock than pity. Nebraska was so powerful for so long and now they are on the wrong end of a "70s hanging" and the shock is evident. When they announced the Husker score at halftime of the Arkansas/South Carolina game there was not a cheer but a collective gasp. You guys hang in tough.....things will cycle and then it's back to pencilling in Kansas, Iowa State, Missouri, etc.MUTigerFan said:knapplc said:Yeah - those people who really know the ins and outs of college football pity us... and that's not a good thing.coyeote said:I disagree. From what I'm reading more people feel pitty for us than are laughing.........pitty is worse.
Take it from an objective observer. There is neither laughter or pity. It's more amazement and shock. It's like a head-on train wreck. Oh... you may find some snide snickering from the young and stupid, but most observers are just shocked.
:yeahSome may laugh and some may pitty, I can't see how we would not get either.
Some may laugh and some may pity, but most can see we're just plain SH###Y... :lol:huskerguy said:They are even talking about how bad we are on Around The Horn... I guess the only good thing is we are that important to college football that when we really struggle its a huge story.

I think people feel sorry for us because they know this is not what Nebraska is and they know the wrong people were running the program. I've heard numerous national sports guys saying Callahan needs to go.coyeote said:I disagree. From what I'm reading more people feel pitty for us than are laughing.........pitty is worse.
