was just waiting for the HBCU argument
the sport equivalent of "what about black on black crime?"

just admit that Nebraska has location disadvantages compared to other traditional powerhouses

Yes cause the Ann Arbor, MI and Columbus, OH and Eugene, Or and are premier locations :heh:
Get a good coach and nikkas will play anywhere. I've missed all the top 5 classes UCLA has had over the years.

why are you being obtuse?

Nebraska had a 30 year history of being a contender. Thats all I meant.

Right now, Bo Pelini winning 9 or 10 games a year and being middle of the road in the B1G and far away from national title contention was not it.
listen mastermind, i get where you coming from

but we are living in a rapidly changing world where a 30 year history of excellence ain't worth what it used to be

does Nebraska get shown on NBC even when they suck? no
do they have a beautiful campus? nah not really
is Lincoln known for it's party scene? nope
is the weather great? fukk no
are there brothers and sisters who don't play any sports? only a few
anything worth seeing a little outside of Lincoln? only cornfields breh
is Nebraska known for playing an attractive and fun brand of football? no
do you need to go to Nebraska to get noticed by NFL scouts? a player from fukking Central Michigan just went No. 1 last year

^^^^^^ your average 17 year old HS senior in 2014 cares more about those things than your prestigious history

it's kinda sad but it is what it is

it was the D, bizarre that a guy from that side of the ball couldn't get anything going. couple star players, but I don't think he fielded a top 30 during his time there. got chewed up numerous times too

when does Hoke go? dude should have gotten the classic in-season boot

breh you are missing my point

Ole Miss has had top 10 recruiting classes the last 2 or 3 years. Ole Miss was a nothing program for most of our lives until the last 2 or 3 years.

Baylor were a nothing program until the last 2 or 3 years.

The point I am making is the right coaches changes everything.

No one can even point to where Manhattan,Kansas is and they been doing better than Nebraska or at least as good. Their GAWD coach came back and changed everything.

That can happen at Nebraska too. (not Osbourne coming back but the right coaching hire).

i agree

but Baylor and Ole Miss dont fire their coach after winning 9-10 games every year because they know their place in the grand scheme of things
no delusions of grandeur based on past accomplishments in a different era

:heh: you do know that teams like Miami, Florida, and Florida St weren't shyt before the 80's, right? Once they established a level of accomplishment, they try to hold themselves to it. According to your logic, they should've just settled with the Zooks and Cokers because, after all, they weren't traditional powerhouses and winning champions wasn't "their place in the grand scheme of things".

when they were a "great" program just over 10 years ago they fired frank solich for going 58-19. fired pelini for going 67-27 now. what are they expecting? kansas st is about to go 9-3 is they lose to baylor. same record bo was told to take a hike with
Someone needs to call their AD and tell him Nick Saban isn't coming there.

:camby:

Florida didn't win a NC before then but we weren't garbage. We had a Heisman winner in 66 :childplease:
the state of Florida had a population of 5 million in 1960
today 19 million people live in Florida

1.4 million people lived 1960 in Nebraska
today it's 1.8 million

"bu bu but FSU was no powerhouse 30 years ago"
yeah it's because times change dummy
