Nebraska -6 Illinois 2

[SWC75]

Fox has an app that indicated who has the ball by putting a mark next to their score. When I turned into this game and looked at the screen from across the room it looked like the title of this post.

I suggest they put the mark next to the name of the team, not the number. Jess sayin'

If you really liked Scott Frost as OC, now is the time to reach out because he likely will need a new job for 2022.

Nebraska was the one football super power that seemed the most surprising to me. It's a state without a big population and it isn't really near any great recruiting areas. But for 30 years they were as good as anybody. These days I wonder the same thing about Boise State and North Dakota State - why them? But they aren't competing on the same level as the Cornhuskers were.

Their decline began when Tom Osborne retired. Solich actually had a good record there but it was a stop or two down from Osborne's peak. Things fell apart under Callahan. They improved under Pellini but it still wasn't the old days. Riley and Frost haven't been able to put the statue back on the pedestal.

These days they aren't any better than Kansas, Missouri, Iowa, Illinois, etc. And that's probably where they should be. But you wonder what happened under Devaney and then Osborne to produce such great success.

Under Osborne kids were paid criminals were protected and Nebraska football made the SEC blush. I know saw it first hand. Osborne didn't run the school he ran the State

One thing I do remember: James Michener I "Sports in America (1976), traveled to the various football hot spots to determine who had the most rabid fans. He was going to give it to Alabama until he met a Nebraska fan with a toilet paper dispenser in his bathroom with a Nebraska logo and paper in the Husker's color and a radio imbedded in it in case he would have to miss even a brief portion of Nebraska game: he could press a button and still keep track of the action.

The most consistently successful programs are the ones with the most consistently interested fans - and the most of them.

i know it will likely never happen but Nebraska should join the PAC 12 conference. They've been a complete disaster in the BIG. They used to be football royalty. I think they could retain their former lofty standards playing in a less competitive conference schedule
