Is Nebraska still a blue blood?

[TrustMeIamRight]

Yeah, we both pretty much suck lately.

I like the direction UM is heading much better than Nebraska though. Not sure if Mike Riley is the guy to lead Nebraska back to prominence.

Nobody knows whether or not a coach will work out. However, JH came into a much better situation than Riley, so the rebuild is going to take more time. Whether or not he is successful, he will leave the program in a better place from a talent and organizational standpoint. Harbaugh, on the other hand, could totally flame out based on his volatile personality (like he did in SF). Both have the potential to succeed or fail, but to say that the direction of Nebraska right now under MR is not good shows a lack of understanding of the program. That's nothing against you, just that a lot of us see what is going on behind the scenes and it is most certainly trending up.

Nebraska is, and will always be, relevant. That's just how it is in college football. A 5-7 season, or a 86-47 decade does not define a football program. Winning nearly 70% of games all-time, appearing in 7 conference championship games (in 2 different conferences), winning a total of 46 conference championships and 5 national championships does define a football program. I'm sorry Oklahoma State is not in that type of company.

I think I like this new guy.

Sent this to my die hard Nebraska fan cousin today. He either didn't find it as near as amusing as I did, or he's still fapping.

Had other things to do yesterday. Just getting caught up now.

You guys worried about your sellout streak yet?

Last time they were relevant Suh was on their defense line. Honestly, within the last 5 years have they been a team you would sit down and watch just because?

I'm good with it if they are playing on a Thursday and my other option is CUSA but eh they don't do it for me and haven't for a while.

And unless they start being in the hunt for something in November I don't see that changing.

 

[Cowboyinexile]

or its the off season.

Pretty much this. I'm shitty at trolling. I start something because I think it's funny, and when I start to go back in I realize how little I care about it in the first place.

Made it back to page 1. Interesting that the common theme with the Cornhusker fans is they are essentially in the worst run in their programs history.

Is it really a bad run or the new normal? The school is nowhere near any major recruiting areas and a lot of the advantages you had 20 years ago are gone (I think I'm repeating myself here). Yeah if you make a kickass hire you can come back but Riley isn't it. Assuming he gets fired in a couple of years that makes what, 4 coaches that didn't live up to expectations?

Compare your situation to Miami-your facilities are better and your in a conference that has a greater ability to generate revenue so you have that going for you. You are both in a more winnable division in your conference so the path back to greatness is essentially equal. But they have more of an it factor, a better HC, and are in a recruiting hotbed. 5 years from now which program will be more prestigious?

Yeah you guys have a lot of history and my dad's friends respect the hell out of you. That probably doesn't matter for most 18 year olds though.

 

[TexasExes98]

Thats it?

That is the greatness of where you live over where I live?

I don't give a fuck about your shitty Blues, Royals, or Cardinals (which I'm sure you attend regularly and likely have season tickets).

I play golf at a local club for under $3k a year in which there is a pool for my wife and kids and an 18 hole golf course that I can get on almost any time. They also have a driving range which I take full advantage of which is part of that price.

I am literally 5 minutes away from my work, play, needed groceries, anything. And the added bonus is I don't have to deal with douchebags like yourself.

If you're bragging about being able to go to a swimming pool, you know there isn't shit to do in your entire state.

It's the norm. Big 8 was set up to help NU succeed, that's been long gone. 0 conference titles, 0 NC appearances, 0 major bowl games, multiple curbstompings giving up 70+ points, & 4 different coaches all in the last 17 years I believe.

Embrace the norm Corn Fuckers....

With that logic, then Princeton is still the greatest football program to this day since they won 26 nattys, right?

Nice math. We have both a conference championship and NC appearance in that timeframe.

 

[NDHoosier101]

Since joining the Big 10 we are 6-2 against the other considered Blue Blood programs in the Big 10 that consist of Ohio State, Michigan, and Penn State. We also have a 3-2 record against Michigan State and do not have a losing record to any opponent in the Big 10 other than the 1-4 embarrassment that has been our pathetic play against Wisconsin.

To be fair you haven't faced Indiana yet.

If we are going by your logic Texas would not be a blue blood. We get it you're a longhorns fan and you hate nebraska. But they are still a blue blood

Nobody knows whether or not a coach will work out. However, JH came into a much better situation than Riley, so the rebuild is going to take more time. Whether or not he is successful, he will leave the program in a better place from a talent and organizational standpoint. Harbaugh, on the other hand, could totally flame out based on his volatile personality (like he did in SF). Both have the potential to succeed or fail, but to say that the direction of Nebraska right now under MR is not good shows a lack of understanding of the program. That's nothing against you, just that a lot of us see what is going on behind the scenes and it is most certainly trending up.

Harbaugh came into a better situation? UM went from 11-2 to 8-5 to 7-6 to 5-7 the 4 years before Harbaugh and they had no QB.

I won't deny I have no idea the situation in Nebraska, but they were 9-4, 9-4, 10-4 and 9-4 the 4 years before, so it seems like he had a pretty solid foundation to work with? As I said though -- I don't really pay attention much to Nebraska. I do see Riley's 1st year was 6-7, so that isn't a very good start, when you finish 3 games worse than any year in the B1G for the school.

As far as Harbaugh -- he grew up in Ann Arbor. His dad coached at UM. He starred at QB for UM. He wants his kids to grow up in Ann Arbor. He isn't going anywhere unless he chooses to go back to the NFL at some point.

You really have to stop acting like there wasn't talent in ann arbor before JH arrived. UofM has never had an issue getting top notch talent. RichRod & Hoke just didn't use what they had properly. JH doubled the W total his 1st year w/ Hoke's kids. There's always been talent in ann arbor.

The difference between the 2015 Huskers and previously is the lack of a game-changing, NFL caliber player. In 2014, had we not had Ameer Abdullah, we would have lost to at least Northwestern and MCNEESE Freaking STATE, and probably more. In those 2 games, if he's not there to make a play, we lose. Regardless of who the coach was this year, they weren't going to do very well.

Did people actually go to that Conference Championship?
