Was 10 years ago in 2007 Bill Callahan last season.

You would have to go all the way back to 1948 when the Huskers were Coach by George "Potsy" Clark after Bernie Masterson left after 2 seasons when they lost to Minnesota, Colorado, Notre Dame and Kansas for a winless October..

Potsy Clark also had a winless October in his first year at Nebraska in 1945.

Hopefully we win tonight so we can leave 2007 behind in the record books.

Considering we've only played 2 games in October and both of those were against top 10 playoff contenders, I think your angst over going winless in October is misplaced. When was the last time we played only 3 games total in October with 2 of the opponents in the top 10? Answer: NEVER.

You’re right – Nebraska should never have an expectation to beat a top 10 team. Where do these crazy expectations come from???

considering the expectations for this season it's ludicrous to now be crying in your beer over losing to Wisconsin and OSU. NOBODY not wearing a Husker hat gave us much of a chance to win those games. The constant whining is getting really old.

It's better than the Elton John in a thong poster hung over your bed. At least Riley is wearing Husker gear.

Do I go on the internet defending Elton John and him wearing a thong? The fact that you used that as a simile is telling of your thoughts.

So, in short, you have a man-crush on both Elton John (in a thong) AND Mike Riley. I’m guessing there are others.

I agree with you on the constant whining – but I also don’t think it hurts to be reminded of the new lows we continue to hit. No doubt – a frustrating time to be a Nebraska fan.

I realize they usually played 4 games in October in the past and this year it just so happens we only play 3, but facts are facts if it were to happen....

Tough $&it if we never played 2 top 10 teams in the month of October but we have in the past beaten 2 top 10 teams in the month of October 1995 comes to mind.

Nobody not wearing a Husker hat gave us much of a chance to win many games this year. That should mean something right there.

Potsy needed more time. He inherited a toxic atmosphere from A.J. Lewandowski, who really only cared about basketball...

You Potheads seriously need to give it up. Nothing he did at Butler or Kansas indicated he’d have any success at Nebraska. Plus he wouldn’t fire his good friends Richie, Ralph and Fonzie from the staff.
