There are many pissed off Cornhusker fans in Lincoln today!!! They are already screaming for a new coach!!
As someone said in the other games thread, it's too bad we don't start conference play with Neb. They look horrible on both sides of the ball. I imagine they'll improve as the year goes on...but I guess that's true of most teams who have a stafff with a pulse. I'm so excited for this season!
They can't get their defense and offense to show up at the same time. The D, which was very bad, has only given up 7 points over the last 6 quarters.
You don't suppose Oregon let off the gas a little in the second half? NIU stopped themselves often with dropped passes today. NIU marched down and punched it in with walrus ball late.
Pitchforks out.
It's interesting watching their fans go through the four year cycle of:
We need to fire our coach.
to
Now we will hire the best coach ever because we are the most coveted job in the nation.
to
Not thrilled about the new coach, but I think he'll be the right fit for what we need right now.
to
Some short term success
to
Failure
to
We need to fire our coach and the cycle begins again.

No I don't think Oregon did. Nebraska had the ball with a chance to tie that game.
Already tamping expectations
Just got back from two days in Omaha, today was a complete meltdown of delusional Husker fans. Hilarious. Friday night I sat next to one ignorant Nebhole who told me the Oregon game was 'just a wake-up call' and the Huskers were going to win the Big10.
Any opinion on what the difference is for Nebraska compared to what they were like in the glory days?
Some people had hinted that in the 90's (and 80's / 70's) they did a far better job than other schools at weight training (and whatever else might go with that).
Teams would go play Nebraska, and they were simply larger, stronger, players.
Where now that playing field has been leveled with all teams doing similar things to get the right size athletes.
Anyone else think there is a fundamental change anywhere?
The spread offense has changed football, but is there a reason Nebraska has seemed to suffer worse than others?
Is it because unlike USC, Florida St, Alabama, etc., they just aren't as an appealing location to be recruited to?
Ever since they've been in the Big Ten, they haven't been anywhere close to a Top 5 national team.
Not much of an upset. UNI is a better team
