This place is pretty dead for being a day and a half away from playing thee Miami Hurricanes.

Outside of the two fan bases, there is no interest in the two programs any more.

This was the "Halftime Pick'em" on ESPN

Ole Miss @ Alabama (Alabama -7)
Stanford @ USC (USC -10)
Auburn @ LSU (LSU -7)
Cal @ Texas (Cal -7)

Cal @ Texas instead of Nebraska @ Miami. (Miami -3.5)

That should tell you all you need to know.

Yeah, but we're the fanbase...

Thee memories that brings back.....

My goodness.

 

[oaknightshockey1]

I wish I remembered that one. I only remember '95.

Nebraska fans haven't lost interest, but they've lost expectations. I don't see people get angry at losses any more. They expect them, make excuses for them, even defend them.
Some were defending BoPleeny all the way up to his final game.

I guess that's true. I feel like I have a bad feeling about this game thanks to the previous staff. I don't expect us to win, even though intellectually I think we are the better team. I'm just used to the team not showing up when the lights are bright.

 

[Jack_John_Mark]

I honestly haven't lost expectations.

I swear to God I don't think we're losing this Saturday, or ever again.

Swear on my life I actually believe we're going to win every single game when kickoff rolls around. No matter what I might say during the week leading up to kickoff, I always think we're gonna win.

 

[Jack_John_Mark]

I just think God is mad at us for a couple things right now, but when he finally cools down........ohhhh baby, we ain't losin.

I think Nebraska has a chance. But that is just the homer in me.

That and Al Golden is a turrible head coach.

 

[Jack_John_Mark]

I think the transition pains were there against BYU and lingered into the South Alabama game.

This team has a ton of talent and is just waiting to grow up. They never did grow up under Bopper, and one of these weeks it's going to happen and we're finally going to turn that mental corner.

I just really don't think they're as good as they are being made out to be. Doesn't make the feeling of impending doom go away.

 

[Jack_John_Mark]

I really expect to walk away from this game Saturday very much enthused about our season.

I think this is going to be a turning point.

Miami?

Who's making them out to be good? :confused2:

They've been a worse program than Nebraska. The only real difference in how far they've both fallen in the last dozen years is the Miami fan base has lost interest.

Where Nebraska is a 3rd tier program on the field, they're still a top 10 program in faciities and fan base. Miami is a 3rd tier program (even 4th) on the field and in their fan base.

Unfortunately this is the type of game Nebraska loses.

Spend about 5 minutes listening to Omaha sports talk radio. Bahe and then probably 75% of the callers make them out to be '01 Miami.
