That cartoon reminded me of a SEC Shorts feature on Former Blue Chips from a couple of years ago. It has aged well:
Nebraska sux

- Start date
Heard they were all prepared to wear all black. He’s gone.

Today on Omaha sports radio, the two hosts were discussing how much more appealing Nebraska is than ISU. 5 National titles, 3 Heisman winners, every game a sellout, B1G, automatically get better recruits. This is how their fans think, we are the Huskers, we matter, we are relevant, football needs us, we can have any coach we want. Until they can get over themselves, I can't imagine them coming back, and they will never get over themselves.
How to respond to a Husker Fan:
5 National titles <- irrelevant, 25 years ago
3 Heisman winners <- irrelevant, 25 years ago
every game a sellout <- irrelevant, no one cares outside the state
B1G <- partially relevant, but only in the sense of $$$
automatically get better recruits <- just plain wrong.
I don’t know much about Aranda but I put him in the same camp as Matt career wise. They’re both at a spot where they don’t need to step up to get the attention of anyone anymore, whatever job they want will consider them. Going to Nebraska would be all risk no reward.

Everyone knows that donors and others all buy up the remaining tickets just to keep the streak going.
The reporting on this is tangling the legitimate with the nonsensical.
Yesterday some Nebraska media was quoting Feldman, who I think is legitimate, and Feldman thought Campbell may not be interested in the job because they are going to be heavy in the NIL game, and that might not work with Campbells culture. But his evidence is because ISU hasn’t had much NIL activity.
I honestly believe the ISU Twitter trolling about NU talking with Campbells agent got cycled through people, and now they are trying to figure out why the interest is apparently not there from MC.

I know, that's the point. Some Cyclone twitter troll said NU had been in talks with Campbell's agent and there was interest on both sides. Then suddenly the mutual interest narrative took off. Now the media is trying to figure out why there seems to not be any interest any more.
KNeb can kiss my behind.
I haven't read all the latest in the last week or two, but....
Campbell's not going to Nebraska. Aranda's is not going to Nebraska. both are too good for them.
The Nebraska medical school is currently exploring options of how to bring Tom Osbourne back to his prime form in the 90’s or create an everlasting zombie Osbourne. K state and Bill Synder have been brought in to consult.
Properly resourced robotics and AI teams could probably get a working robo-Osborne on the sideline by the time they fire their next HC.
