It’s funny to make fun of him and Nebby about this but he’s right - there is no rhyme or reason behind cross division scheduling in the B1G. It’s really odd.
I live in Nebraska and I dont know any Husker fans who DOESN'T have crazy expectations for Forat and the team at this point. And I would guess that I know a very large pool of "average Nebraska fans".
Actually, after reading the linked article above, I think it may be apathy that’s setting in. Which is far worse.Now this point in the season, reality may be setting in.
Yeah, there were times in my Cyclone fandom when I thought ISU would never escape the cycle of apathy.Actually, after reading the linked article above, I think it may be apathy that’s setting in. Which is far worse.
it is because the east division has all the best and strong teams , west really sucks they need to send Penn St. and Michigan Sta. to the westIt’s funny to make fun of him and Nebby about this but he’s right - there is no rhyme or reason behind cross division scheduling in the B1G. It’s really odd.
I disagree. I would rather they go 1-11 every year only managing to hang a loss on their nearest big 10 adversary.Couldn't happen to a nicer guy or a nicer fanbase. I hope they continue to lose every game, including their spring game.

You're kind of arguing all over the place and making some of my arguments.
You seem to think that UT and OU will get some special treatment if they join another conference, and I think that is not what would happen.
It didn't happen for Nebraska, Colorado, Missouri or aTm, but these conference will do it for UT or OU is what you are saying.
Have to disagree, once in the conference, and the promises do not happen, are they going to leave their new conference and then join another one?
My point all along has been that UT and OU need to look to what is happening to Nebraska and realize just how good they currently have it in the Big 12.

I'm not sure why these bigger conferences don't have a mechanism in place to re-balance divisions every 5 years or so. They never release conference schedule till the year before anyway.
It's funny you think any of those 4 schools are on the same level as Oklahoma or Texas.
Exactly. They can take one or two run of the mill West teams and, by manipulating their schedules, make them appear much better than they actually are.Because they see the imbalance not as a bug, but a feature.
Nothing about the culture inside the program appears to have changed since he's been there. I've seen nothing that leads me to believe they're gonna take some giant step next year either. Maybe he should just play all the young guys now.As a fellow wrong side of the Missouri River person, I corrected your statement. Their isn't a living "average UNL fan" who thought they would win less than 8 games, most expected 10-2. Now this point in the season, reality may be setting in. However, come next spring they once again will be planing their trips to bowl games and the B1G championship game?
******** if it is not, the moment that UN left the big 12, they were never going to be given an easy schedule in the Big 10. Look at their schedules the first 4 years, lots of OSU, Mich, Penn. St and MSU, and few games against the weaker teams in the conference.
The Big 10 would look weak if a new team came in and won the title, and they were going to make sure that it did not happen, and if it did, then UN would earn it.
what is a Forat?I live in Nebraska and I dont know any Husker fans who have crazy expectations for Forat and the team at this point. And I would guess that I know a very large pool of "average Nebraska fans".
Thanks a lot for the visual. In my mind's eye I just pictured Scott Frost in the Borat mankini.what is a Forat?
The success of those first four years were mostly due to, IMO, recruiting inside the Big12. And #1 NU getting blasted by #15 CU in 2001 was special.Their first four years in the B1G were 9, 10, 9, and 9 win seasons including wins over MSU and Penn State and Michigan. Pelini was their best bet.
Hell even Mike Riley won 9 games in one season.
That was about what they were doing in the Big 12 prior to leaving and some of their worst losses were in the Big 12 in the early to mid 2000s.
This all goes back to late November 2001 when Nebraska football was changed forever by Colorado. Never been the same since.
BTW I think I read or heard somewhere that Frost refers himself in the 3rd person quite often. Not exactly shocking.
