Game results would show this is not the case. They get WAY more up to play us than we get to play them.

They are defending their conference. We're still the outsiders.

Well, those game results may well be the result of the better team winning most of the time. Maybe neighboring Iowa gets way up. But after 9 years of not doing much in this conference and no conference championship in 20 years, I don't think any of the B1G teams think of Nebraska as ever having been a blue blood.

Did you see what he did to the FG kicker that missed when they were up 35........

 

[Terrabus]

I wonder what my 18 year-old self (who was at every home game in 1995) woulda thought if I told him this is how it was gonna be....

I'm a few years older than yourself and had I been told this was how it was going to be, my first thought would have been to demand to know who killed the program.  The roots of this entire program were poisoned and they grew deformed over time.  Moos was the start of correcting that systemic deformity and now Frost is a part of the recovery.  You can't fix a program in a season or two.  You can't undo two decades of rot with a few coaching choices an some intense practice sessions.  This is going to take time.  Lots and lots of time.  It sucks we have to watch but this is going to be a very painful process and there are worse things to come later down the road.  But it had to happen some time.

LOL, my stream cut off.

I guess I can't really blame them.

This will all change in 2 more seasons.  We need at least 2 more recruiting seasons to gain some momentum.  Until then, temper the expectations.  We just don't have the horses yet.  Why burn redshirts for winning the West side of the West division.  Win 2 more games, make a bowl game, and then build on that for the next season.

I disagree. You are here to win games and build a winning culture. Reward young guys with spots if they can play and help win games and the rest will fall into place. Get your most talented guys experience.

No, they don't. But they hear people talking about us as a blue blood all the time, and they don't like it, so they like to take it out on us.

Oh quit with  that crap, they weren’t playing with any fire or desire from the opening snap. They weren’t ready.   Did Minnesota come in the locker room and pound on them all day long before the opening kickoff. 

And by by the way, how would they be tired from tackling? 

Do you know what fatigue is?

 

[TheSker]

Time to give the youth a shot. If Robinson is out for an extended period of time a bowl game ain't happening. Might as well give the future some experience.

Not at the expense of burning shirts.

 

[Stone Cold]

Shut up Cy

 

[Micheal]

Year 2 Fleck vs Year 2 Frost. 

 

[3rd and long]

Do you know what fatigue is?

Good grief. Explain the first half to me then would you. You remember the first half. When they chewed us up. Or were we tired already?

 

[TheSker]

Can't wait to hear this press conference...

Thought you were done?

 

[Decked]

Year 2 Fleck vs Year 2 Frost. 

This is Fleck’s third year is it not?

 

[ReddyRed]

Will Turner Coccoran make a difference next year?

I think a reasonable question is whether he would still come.

 

[Jack Burton]

Hard truth. Frost looks like any other Nebraska coach (yes even Riley) if you take the blinders off. I'm 100% behind him but his minor league coaching staff may need some upgrades.
