No idea what the modern era is, but Nebraska lost seven in a row in 1957.

Wow, that coach was worse than Bill Callahan, but he had the same first name, Bill Jennings. Nebraska should never hire a coach with the first name of Bill.

Bill Jennings was replaced by Bob Devaney in 1962. Devaney took over for a team that had not had a winning season since 1954, and went 9-2 in his first year.

I think ours is 5 in 2007. We lost 7 in a row in 1957, but I'm not sure that qualifies as "modern".

There is no Dana. Only Zuul.

Point for Ghostbusters reference.

Reading this thread tells me to never hire a coach with the first name of Dana.

I realized recently that Bible was an AD at Nebraska at one point...they recently put together a wall with all the previous athletic directors' portraits. I did not know that

Your school hired him away from UT's lil' brother and we did the same to your Huskers. He was also a basketball and baseball coach.

He went 50-15-7 at Nebraska

... and won 6 Conference titles in 8 seasons. Texas went after one of the best.

When he was coach of UT's lil' brother his 1919 team went 10-0 and outscored their opponents 275-0.

The "modern" era is anything after the end of WWII or so I've been told.

 

[The Crimson King]

0-10 in 1950......other than that, 5 in 1999 and 2012

6, twice (only went back to 1950). Most recent was in '88 - lost to Georgia, Duke, LSU, Auburn, WSU and Alabama. Finished the year 5-6 (started 0-6).

This might be an interesting topic for another thread but from thee results of my google search, there has not been a consensus on "modern". I've seen WWII and I've also seen 1960, which was when the two platoon system really took off.

4 games by the last 3 coaches, Brown, Mackovic and McWilliams. 1956 8 games by Ed Price, they went 1-9. 10 games by Dana X. Bible 1937(8)-1938(2).

For me the modern era began in 1973 when the NCAA limited football scholarships to 85.

A Duck fan kicking me in the nutz on a Saturday...imagine that...

Yeah, a brutal stretch of humility. Not sure IF the Ducks had a winning record against us during that entire 28 year run...

Wait, isn't it Sunday? I know we went at the brew hard last night...

U shouldn't have told me that last night about the #28. I had forgot it was that long a streak.
