Neb. is a top 30-60 team: now and forever

[Omaha 680]

That was about the worst 2 minute offense I have ever seen but I am happy overall with the effort today. Frustrating because 2 missed field goals and an extra point blocked and returned for 2 means we probably could have won or at least taken it to OT without those mistakes.

random note: an OU defensive back had one of the most amazing interceptions I have ever seen. One handed, better than the O'Dell Beckham catch. Problem was it was 4th and 18 and he landed on OUs 3 yard line. That's like doing a 360 dunk on the wrong hoop.

Ryan Day punted from the nebraska 35 up 6 points with 6 minutes left in the game. He deserves to lose just for that.

Nebraska has to be the best 7-loss team in the country. That would be excruciating as a fan.

6 of the 7 losses were by one score. The one that wasn't was the 9 point loss to Ohio State yesterday. Last minute losses to Oklahoma, Michigan, and Michigan State. I have never cheered for a team whose record is farther away from their talent and potential. It is brutal.

Scott Frost will get a 5th season. But he fired 4 offensive assistants, took a $1 million/year paycut and reduced his buyout from 15 to 7.5 million. Honestly I think it's the best move for everyone right now. Frost gets one more year to try and make something work that the admin and fans desperately want to work, but he puts some skin in the game to buy another year.

If we fire him now or fire him next year there is really no difference. I still think there is a chance he can right the ship so might as well give it one more shot before we blow it up again.

I mean, that's a nice sentiment and all but that guy is dead man walking. Every day he's still there the program is regressing and it will be that much harder to build back.

I hope he already had all the money he would ever want, because that was a really stupid financial decision to buy himself one extra year before getting fired.

The silver lining is that it will not be hard for Nebraska to improve on its dismal 2021 record. I still want to believe in Scott Frost, throwing reason to the wind and hoping things turn around. But it is hard to overlook player lapses in discipline and fundamentals...that is coaching. It is hard to imagine that things could get worse if/when Frost is fired but that is a distinct possibility,

Omg we wouldn't want the program to regress. Could you imagine? How we will ever build back to the lofty tradition of Bill Callahan and Mike Reilly?

I meant it when I said it is zero risk to giving him another year. The program is literally at a 60 year low point.

I can't even tease you guys anymore. I feel nothing but pity.

Fueled and frustrated: Nebraska faces criticism, crossroads in 2022

You can not escape football in a football-crazy state on a football-obsessed campus, particularly one steeped in a winning tradition with multiple national championship trophies and statues, and the ghosts of legends of the past constantly cooing and booing the present.

Winning is everything and losing can bring out the worst in the diehard fans, and no school epitomizes that heightened reality more than Nebraska, the ground zero of college football frustration. The Cornhuskers have become perennial losers over the last decade, and under Scott Frost the program has its worst winning percentage with a 15-29 record in half a century. The chronic pain intensified in 2021 when the Huskers lost eight games by one possession during a 3-9 season, the most in FBS history.

Almost predictably, frustration has boiled over into the classrooms on campus, where students and professors no longer hide their disdain and criticism of coaches and players.

And what about the time Nelson, on his day off, decided to nap at home and upon this revelation a neighbor remarked, "That's probably why you can't win games."

"It destroys you as a player and as a competitive man," Nelson said.
[...]
"Everything's right in the world when Nebraska is good at football and winning football games," Nelson said. "Life hasn't really made much sense over these last few years."
[...]
"I just want him to be happy again," Nelson said. "I want my coaches to be happy. I'm tired of seeing their faces and their demeanor. I want them to have fun with football again. I want them to have fun coaching us again. I want to be proud of this university and I want them to be proud of their university and the time they have here."

Times have changed, but at least time hasn't yet run out on Frost's Huskers.

"I wanted to win for Coach Osborne. I can tell you that," said Alberts, who won the Dick Butkus Award as the nation's top linebacker in 1993. "I was scared not to win for Coach Osborne. I don't want to put too much on that. We played for Nebraska. This is about Nebraska. We will try to do everything in the best interest of Nebraska. I think Scott feels the same way."

Money isn't everything... Nebraska should just come home. They don't love them in the B1G.
