How was Alabama able to hire Nick Saban and he is able to get top-tier recruits in Tuscaloosa, a craphole in the middle of Alabama?

Is that a serious question? That "craphole", and surrounding areas, is where all of the athletes in this country live.... Are you as stupid as the guy in NebraskaHarry's avatar looks?

Is this a serious answer? We're talking about a SEC school here...it's not a question of how they're getting recruits there, it's a question of how much they're paying them under the table. :-|

We have billionaires in our state, why is it we can't get some top tier guys like them?

Because Nebraska is funny in that when we win, we'd like to do it the "right way".

I'm sorry, I like Bo Pelini and the culture which he has tried to instill in this program, but this type of effort MUST come to an end.

WE ARE NEBRASKA!!! And Nebraska does have standards.

  • We believe in running the football and stopping the run on defense.
  • We believe in physically dominating the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball.
  • We believe in option football. We believe in power football.
  • We believe in a play-action passing game.
  • These spread offenses may work for other teams, but we had an identity that worked for over 50 years, and it wasn't the spread.
  • We understand that penalties are part of the game, but many of these stupidly repeated penalties lately have to stop. It's not just a coincidence anymore, the frequency of the same penalties have become a habit, and they are costing us games.
  • We believe in winning at least 9 games a year, at least competing for a conference champion ship every year, playing in a bowl game, and being consistently in the Top 25.
  • We believe in playing for a National Championship before we ever think about roses.

So a message to you Coach Pelini, your efforts the last 5 years have been respectable, but these last two years your teams are starting to slip below our standards for our Nebraska Cornhuskers. Defensive performances such as UCLA this year, and Ohio State are examples of the Nebraska brand being embarrassed on national tv. It may surprise you but we can tolerate a loss in Nebraska. However these kind of performances at UCLA and Ohio State are un-exceptable. A change in defensive and offensive schemes are no longer just a suggestion, they are now a requested demand.

P.S.

Your new Athletic Director arrives on Tuesday.

We, as fans, have become content with mediocrity. Check out the LSU message boards today -- they have fans calling for Les Miles' head! They EXPECT to win EVERY game. That's how we used to be.

Funny, but you are right. We were used to maybe (maybe) losing a big game to Oklahoma or Colorado each year but for the most part, we dominated games and especially the 2nd half of games as TO was a master at adjusting. We are a 2nd or maybe 3rd tier team in college footage now. Won't even be in the Top 25 next week and we are sure to lose 2-3 more games this year. And next year? More of the same. Start fresh with all sorts of excitement, play some pansies and build a fake record and then lose to good teams. A bad cycle to be in.

Which was started by Frank as he gradually put this team in the toilet.
