Why would any player choose Nebraska?

[Doctor Tom]

1. Get to wear black uniforms for one blowout per year

2. Play in front of 90,000 fans for three quarters.

3. iPads in lockers

4. Strange fetish for mediocrity

That's all I got. Am I missing anything?

I'm sure nobody would want to come to Nebraska with fans like you...

 

[Cpt-Needa]

5. Screamed at by a crappy coach.

6. Free corn.

 

[Hunter94]

everyone is upset...lots of things still wrong with this organization...not sure Bo is really head coach material...I mean really.

7. We have sensitive fans that won't badmouth (edit: criticize) you because they too have a fetish for mediocrity

Never underestimate the value of free corn. That's how we get all our biggest recruits.

Mediocre is going 6-6 maybe 7-5 on a good year and being satisfied with making the Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl even if you lose. Nebraska is nowhere near mediocre.

Depends on the team. Nebraska has (or should have) a different definition of mediocre than the Navy Midshipmen.

Hey guys help me out here. What's it called when you're in a bad situation and start finding humor and good spirits in bleakness? It's not black humor...I'm fishing around for the term but I can't get it. It would be applicable here, though.

Answer is simply, they won't. Not top recruits at least. We may still find some diamonds, but it's hard to build a successful program on long shots that are poorly coached.

Nebraska has done nothing noteworthy for a loooong time. Time to wake up my friend.

"But....but....but...we were one second away from being Big 12 champs in 2009!"

It's one of the stages of depression. Can anybody tell me what I should expect next?
