Four-Star Recruit
Benjamin Franklin once said, “In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes.” Benny was right but he left out one important thing that’s also certain (since it didn’t exist yet)...
2019 Mr. Franklin: “In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death, taxes, and Nebraska fans supporting their Cornhuskers”.
Husker fans are the unshakable foundation of this program. Everything else is changing and moving parts. That’s how the Huskers lost their way.
The long offseason begins. Lots of cold months yet to endure. Few Husker football highlights from 2019 to warm the soul. Lots of questions to ask and things to wonder about. Futures are hanging in the balance.
Husker fans watched another powerhouse season from Ohio State and another solid one from Wisconsin. Can’t help but see a little bit of the old Huskers in both of those teams if you know where to look. Ohio dominates opponents like the old Huskers once did, and Wisconsin looks like a Husker cousin in the way they approach the game.
Minnesota is getting better. So is Indiana. Iowa always hangs around. Illinois is clawing their way up to being respectable. Michigan resembles the current Huskers having lots of questions for the offseason and lots of grumbling. Northwestern won’t be this bad next year. Pennsylvania State gets their share of top players and lurks just below the level of the best.
The Huskers face a greater challenge today than they did before. They didn’t have to face so many quality conference programs in the Big 8/12 days. Huskers have yet to settle in and establish themselves since they changed addresses.
So who stole the Huskers? Father Time. Times changed, and the Huskers haven’t handled the time change very well. But in that, is also the answer. Things won’t stay like they are right now forever, either. Somehow, things will turn around. Too many people want it to happen. Huskers are due for something good to happen. Maybe knowing that will make this offseason just a little less cold.
