Nebraska’s schedule too difficult for Scott Frost

[madguy30]

This morning, they have a former Husker on the radio, and he made the statement something like, "We cannot be looking up at Purdue." Meaning, as he explained it, we are so much better (overall, as a "program") than stinky old Purdue, it is just not imaginable that we could lose to them.

They just can't hear their own arrogance.

I would bet most ISU fans instead think like this: This year we have a better team than Okie State. But it is a fine line, and it we turn the ball over 3 times we may not win. But overall we are not superior to them and every time we play it will be a dogfight. We are competitive, not superior.

Most Nebraska fans think they are superior to almost all other programs, even after almost 20 years of so-so results. As I have said before, the blatant joy and satisfaction they expressed in 2010 that Iowa State was headed to the Mid American Conference is all you need to know to make you want to despise them. It was horribly disgusting.

And also I feel like if an Okie State fan were to tell me their program is better than ISU, I couldn't disagree as they generally have been better. The difference would be there would actually be a conversation about the programs, highs and lows, great games and players etc.

Nebraska is more along the lines of other arrogant fanbases where there's no way ISU could have players capable of competing with their other worldly talent.

They should have hired Klieman.

Setting aside the Tavern Huskers**, dumb as a typical Tavern Hawk, I am a little surprised they suck this bad. Kinda half watching their pillow fight with Purdue. They were playing much better than this at the end of last year. It's like a reserve switch tripped for them for 2019.


** Most of the Huskers I've been exposed to were fans but were all civil engineering graduates and pretty grounded guys with respect to their fandom. Different than some of the plains hillbillies I'd see watching their games at Sensers Sport Bar a decade or two ago. Woof!

With a down year or two, referring to past glories can be motivating for a team for a time. But Nebraska hasn't mattered at any point in the memories of the kids playing there now. Making a big fuss over how the program used to be doesn't motivate in that situation at all, and probably comes across as unnecessary pressure on those players.

They have no toughness, no discipline, and it looks like half of the team doesn't even care to be out there. Any program on the rise wouldn't still look like this in year 2. Frost still hasn't instilled any type of winning culture there.

My next door neighbor and good friend while at ISU (and we're still "Facebook friends" to this day) was a big Nebraska fan. Never arrogant about it, didn't rub things in our faces, that was just his team. Let's just say he doesn't talk much Nebraska football anymore - he seems to have become a Cyclone since then.

If Nebraska continues to play this kind of football my no-nut November won’t last too much longer

No nut November? Is that even possible?

 

[HFCS]

Sker fans need to recalibrate expectations to a slightly lower ceiling than ISU, Iowa and Minn.

 

[CysRage]

Lolololol

 

[awd4cy]

Nebraska’s going to fail to make a bowl with such an easy schedule.

 

[HFCS]

Bwaaahaha going down to mighty 2-6 Purdue.

Is Purdue even top 80 Sagarin?

 

[KnappShack]

I want to dance on the grave of Nebraska Football

Not happening until Nebby has a generation of losing seasons. They still have a ton of fans who were alive in the 90s and still live in the 90s.

Yep have to win 2 out of these 3. I guess it's possible but not likely:

Wisconsin
@ Maryland
Iowa

Bring back Bo

They most likely lose all 3, even at Maryland. 3 years in a row of 4-8 would be hilarious!

Ha. Scott frost is not good.

Ha. Scott frost is not good.

And Martinez is even worse.

At least Fred doesn't need to worry about coaching at a football school.
