So you can only be cursed if you were "elite" at some point? I admittedly don't know much when it comes to births and babies and curses.

Are you honestly saying that right now Nebraska is at the same level of Minnesota and ISU?

The way I understand it is that the teams labelled "cursed" are teams for which it just doesn't make sense why they can't get over the hump and win that championship. The Cubs and Red Sox are some of the most popular and supported teams in the country. They have huge fan bases, financial support, etc. and yet for some reason they couldn't cash it in. For a long time.
I think that only Husker fans at this point would say we are cursed because some of us just don't understand why the 90's don't keep happening every decade.
For Iowa State, it actually does make sense why they are not elite.
For Minnesota, I would actually call them cursed. For decades they were the sh@t, but have had a drought that has lasted since the 1960's. Minneapolis is a large metropolis with football-crazed people. The University is one of the largest in the country with a huge number of alumni. The Gophers curse is, I believe, the Vikings. The NFL started eclipsing college football in the 60's and 70's at the national level (but not everywhere).

I forgot about that one. That ranks up there with Buckner letting the ball go between his legs.

I am having a t-shirt with this image on front

and this image on back
https://www.google.c...52F%3B698%3B394
and I will wear it all day for every husker game. I don't think this is strong enough to break the curse, but at least I am doing my part.

2008 - Great offense, poor defense
2009 - Poor offense, great defense
2010 - Injuries + penalties
2011 - Decent offense, decent defense
2012 - Great offense, poor defense
I wouldn't say we're cursed, I'd just say we haven't put together a complete team, other than 2010 when we had injuries and an onslaught of penalties due to leaving the Big XII.
