I couldn't agree more. I think competency, to go along with buy-in, will make Nebraska a very dangerous team year one. I will not be disappointed if they fall short but I do expect 8-9 wins from this team next year. This program lends itself to that.
I expect to be playing the final game of the season with a win taking us to the Big10 Championship. Anything less will be a disappointment from me. Now in this same thread we have gone to the "did you see the schedule?" Yep I see the schedule and frankly I give two $@&$ about the schedule. Go ahead and analyze every game before we get to it. I saw last years schedule as well, and we won 4 games, you see how that holds nothing to me.
A funny story about this, my mother knew I was so furious at this quote. For Christmas that year she framed the newspaper with his face on it and that quote and gave it to me. I still have it on the wall. It was hilariousSometimes it DOES take time. Other times the turn around is immediate, or nearly so.
You mean like Bill Callahan's infamous "We are doing excellent in all areas?"
Exactly, wow someone with some sense.
Agree- thats how I see it. I see michigan state like wisconsin. They are going to be a tough game but they are not elite teams. Michigan, Penn State and Ohio State in 1 year would make me say man that sucks. But if we become the team I hope we do- the team we used to be in the 60's, 70's, 80's and 90's. Those 3 teams will not be our superior. Sure they may beat us- but they should not be our superior. We should be able to walk into those games and have a 50/50 shot to win. Thats what I think Frost will give us. A shot to win every game. It will take a special collection of talent and focus to win them all in 1 year- but as long as we compete every year I will be happy.
Disagree that Northwestern is better at home. Nebraska is undefeated vs. them in Evanston. I think NU will be peaking at the end of the year next year and Iowa City isn’t a terribly tough place to play. They get up for 1-2 games a season in Iowa City, and that’s about it.
Also Riley and the horrible coaching staff is gone. So inherently every game should be a little bit easier
I cant speak for everyone else. But that is what I want as well. Our debate is about the 2018 schedule and how some are hyping it up to be the hardest schedule of all time. But I dont see it any different than most schedules in a big boy conference. s#!t look at florida state this year. Clemson, Miami, Alabama, Florida. They played their ACC schedule plus 2 SEC teams.
