I don't know how to calculate the end when the worlds worst O plays the worlds worst D. What happens exactly. Does it just end up looking normal, but uglier?

7-7 would probably be the final score. There's no ties in football, but after 80 overtimes and neither team scores, the refs will call it a tie.

One of the “journalists” said MC should wait a few years until the fabled Iowa job opens up so he could take that!:D:D:D:D Talk about throwing ### at the wall.

Maybe "fable" and "fabled" were mixed up. It is like a fable - fake and fanciful.

The sooner programs like Nebraska figure out that money doesn't fix the problems the better off they will be. This is the problem at Texas too. Everyone is ball washing Sark because they played Bama tough but that had more to do with Bamas performance than Texas being "back".

I don't disagree with you... but at the same time if you can out bid your competitor by 2-3 million a year and you're someone whose looking long term down the road... then money does matter.

I agree, the issue at Nebraska isn't money. If they realize that, maybe they get the hire right. If they think money alone solves it, then I bet they won't.

Ok, now THAT's funny. I mean it'd be one thing for him to leave to a school like Nebby - I could NEVER see him leaving to school in the same state as ISU - or the same conference.

Not that I think he'd go to Nebraska but that'd be one thing. Even if he ever did leave which I seriously doubt at this point - it wouldn't be for a school we're going to see on our schedule and a in-state rival. That is freaking insane "reporting".

Like - WTF?

The Huskers would have been favored in each game against your team during the last 5 years. lol

I don't want your coach. He's not ready for major cfb
Favored in each game, and would have lost all five. Probably by less than one score every time.

Nebraska's last 3 coaches, at least, haven't been ready for major cfb. But doesn't matter, because Nebraska plays in the West Division

Disagree a little on Mike Riley. I think he was ready - he just wasn't a good fit. And Pelini from a X and O stand point was fine - he was just insane and bat crap crazy. Frost I agree, was not ready.

and yeah, even if Nebraska was favored in the last five years if we played, but we certainly win at LEAST 4 of those games if not all 5.

Would they have been better off cutting him loose at the end of last season?

It sure seems so, this just looks bad all around.

Trev wanted to let him go after last year. Osborne intervened and requested another year. Why they thought making him dump some assistants and replacing them with new guys that had less than a year to come up to speed be a successful idea just gives you insight into the dysfunction in Lincoln.

And, I'm pretty sure I speak for everyone ANY new job starts out really stressful. With the family now totally entrenched and comfortable in Ames, I can't imagine a father wanting to take on that mess now.

I see what you did there. Boo on you. :)

Iowa's offense vs. Nebraska's defense will be something to see.

Nebraska's run defense is a lot of first contact 4-6 yards past the line of scrimmage. It's as soft as I remember seeing a power conference team look.

Iowa should just direct snap to a running back and not play a QB. Honestly I think they should've done that against ISU. The 2-3 times the running back actually passed would've been a big surprise and bigger chance at a big play than a Petras pass.

It's the Nebraska way. They did the same thing to Solich when Pelini was brought in as DC after some of the existing staff was let go.
