Team needs..

Yea I get it you hate power football, timely play action passes and wins
You’re not alone, dumbf* k
This team was pretty much the equal of every team in the West talent-wise. The problem is when you are equals the little things matter the most. Iowa won because it screwed up the least (turnovers and penalties). Nebraska killed itself with turnovers.
No, it really does not take ANY time, at all. $2M last offseason and we’re a 7-8 win team. Period. We could spend 10x that without blinking THIS offseason. Money is every bit and more important than coaching. Although our ‘Coaching’ was a little exposed a few times this season.
This ideology makes me want to stop watching CFB as much as watching The Huskers every week
I don’t know where to start:
Offensive penalty
Missed FG
Holding on INT
INT thrown
22 yard run given up by defense
We need an complete overhaul when it comes to mindset in tight games, I’m just not sure how you fix that

But it's reality. I don't like how extreme NiL is and it essentially being free agency.
But you either buy a QB now and pay him or suck.
Did they though? Or, they just happened to capitalize on turnovers, where when given the chance, we didn’t..
And YOU are a caricature of why we’re a losing program. To be VERY CLEAR… the reality of having to pay players makes me sick too. I wish it were still the 90’s and kids just Wanted to Play Here. That’s done and gone. Even for in-state players.
We’ve lost WAY more than our fair share of 1-score losses. As in that record for heartbreak will probably never be equalled. Luck has played some role, but at least for the last several years we have no one other than ourselves to blame. It’s our FANBASE that’s the primary problem here. We need to CHANGE if we’re ever gonna be competitive again.
You guys will things into being by buying in. You do it all the time. "THATS JUST THE WAY THINGS ARE" at the top of your lungs. Maybe they shouldn't be.
Participating in it and selling it is typical garbage human thinking these days.
Jesus, the media has you guys bad.
So we pay to bring in a QB, give him yuuuuge money. And what happens when HE sucks?
Even if the NIL machine was much better, I still think it takes time to build a championship roster. Unfortunately climbing that hill gets even harder when NU keeps pissing away very winnable games.
So I’m not upset that Nebraska isn’t in the same league with OSU or Michigan or even Penn State. But I get tired of professional *** kissers going on and on about how everything is fine and people should take losses to mediocre teams in stride. Same **** was spewed during the Frost era, and nothing ever changed.
Kong…love your enthusiasm for HH, but the reality is we don’t have a quality D1 QB on this roster. We have three guys who are not true “starters”. Need a significant upgrade
Bad investment, then. There’s risk, sure. Some won’t pan out. It’s like investing in Gold… you won’t necessarily lose, but you’re not gonna be wealthy either. We’re too conservative. And with MY money, I’m as conservative as they come. It’s DIFFERENT in college football… you invest with a degree of RISK, or get f*cking buried and look like we do currently. Haven’t you seen enough?
Repeating your bad take over and over doesn’t make it right. Who is outspending Nebraska on this year’s schedule?
We need to invest Money, just like EVERY OTHER SUCCESSFUL TEAM CURRENTLY DOES. It’s really, really that simple. IT DOES NOT take a winning record to do that.
Actually it may have been my fault, I vaguely recall that during the 1997 Mizzou game I prayed that if we pulled it off and won the title that year I would ever have to win anything ever again…
I am paraphrasing but this last 25 years might be on me….
We’ve lost what, 5 games by one score this year, again? There’ll be close games. My POINT is that a paid QB, some paid O-line and an elite WR or two makes us a bowl team with some noise to make. We passed.
I’d like to KEEP this entire staff because I think they’re actually an improvement over what we’ve had. I want for them to be given some actual talent to work with and see what they can do. Want Dylan to come play where he was born to play. Want what every other person on this board wants. Am just comparing what successful programs are doing vs what we’re NOT doing, yet could, and being a frigid ***** about it. Gonna keep doing it until we do, or resign my interest completely due to Apathy. It’s about one offseason away from the latter.
Went to TWO games this year, an all-time low. 30 years since I vacated or sold all of two games. F*ck this program if they can’t figure out basic Capitalism. Jesus…
That’s a well-timed question. Have thought they’d be a lot better than they are. All I can say is that statistically they can’t do anything but improve based on their current talent, and with the potential via Oil-Money that that program possesses. They’re the statistical antithesis of us, currently. There’s a distribution in any statistical analysis, and they’re on the unhappy end, currently. Time will even that equation, if all other variables remain the same. I’d bet my children on that statement.
When does the off season NC talk start? I’ll bet tomorrow. We’re young (even tho the entire defense is gone after next year), we just need OL and speed, rinse repeat for 24 years.
I don’t disagree with you about the NIL program needing to be more than a good ol’ boy club that gets praised for crappy results. That absolutely needs to happen. But with such a weak schedule even this mediocre roster should have won 7 games.
Do the players and coaches feel our pain? Are we just a bunch of old guys yelling into the wind? Seriously, are the coaches and players aware of the complaints and criticisms made by us, the fans?
We already tried the exorcism by bringing Solich back and naming a locker room after him. Didn’t work; the curse is still intact. What other former Huskers have we wronged that we could invite back this year—Turner Gill? TMart? The Kevin Cosgrove Memorial Concession Stand has a certain ring to it…
There’s nothing I can find published ranking the West. I’ve repeatedly published what were spending vs Top 25 teams. This is what I could find after 20m of DuckGo’ing, because Google is just Evil…
doesn’t excuse the fact that we Could, and that we Haven’t. What I DO know is that we’re in the top 3rd of General Endowment within the BiG West. We could have put ourselves at an advantage in Talent, but chose not to. That much isn’t in doubt.
