5 for 5!! All N!!

Facts
NU finished 5-7. Disappointing, but in the rear view mirror.
NU is completing a very decent recruiting cycle. Awesome.
NU's 2024 season has yet to be played. We await with hope.

So we are going to be awesome around here for awhile.
We say that every year . I think we're heading in the right direction but I'm over winning the off season in our minds. I want to beat Iowa Wisc, Minn, etc, I don't care about some recruiting ranking. Recruiting has always been good , it hasn't produced like it should have. I await results , period. Next year if we have a winning record this board will be talking NC's. Crazy. I guess it's all we got so it keeps some people warm , I get it.
 
No I don't know this. Deboer took over a losing program and has gotten his team into the national championship game in year 2. Winners win. Losers make excuses.

Not really fair to call Washington a losing program. They had one losing season in 2021, but before that they had a run of like 10 straight winning seasons including a Playoff appearance under Chris Petersen and multiple Pac-12 Championships and "BCS" bowl appearances.

Well then I suppose we will see you back here in August when the season starts. For the next 8 months it will be nothing but off season stuff and discussions about winning the off season.
 
Being rational, mature, tempering expectations, waiting for results before getting too excited so as not to be fooled by “winning the offseason” again, objectivity is “hating Nebraska”?

Neyor is the 317th ranked player in the portal and Texas’ 6th string WR. Dowdell is the 121st ranked player in the portal and Oregon’s 4th string RB. We have the 54th ranked portal class right now. Yet we’ve got people on here dropping “boom” and “huge” and talking playoffs.

Seems to me the only people who are halfway logical in this thread are the ones who aren’t getting too overly excited yet…or, I guess “hating Nebraska” in your world.

(cue childish unrelated Deion response from you in 5, 4, 3, 2…)
If anyone were here to misread the room it'd be you.

I like that you're consistent. Keep it up.

This is so much like the discussions I had with Iowa people when I lived in Hell ... I mean, Iowa City.

Them: "You've been terrible for 20 years."

Me: "Well, not 20, but certainly the last eight."

Them: "It's not the '90s anymore. Stop living in the past."

Me: "It's possible to celebrate the past — especially a past that I personally remember back to 1969 — bemoan the present and hope for the future."

Them: "I got Hawkeyes on my belly."

Both parties make valid points.

Nah, I like to cut it up too much. I'm anxious to see Banks and DH on board.

Even the board Eeyore would have to admit that the late adds including Shavers, Tarver and Raiola in the new class, Dowdell and the Wyoming/TX kid from the portal, with Banks and the ILB from Cuse as possible adds is a nice step in a positive direction.
 
Here we go again, if I bring facts to light it's doom and gloom .....ruining joy ? Let me crush you.....there is no Santa.
Nah, read what you posted. Loony left. All you really need to say is I’m a wait and see kinda guy. But instead, you call out those who are excited. No need to do that. Just say I’m gonna wait and see. That’s simple, and won’t get a response from people like me.

All good steps on paper.

If it was sarcasm, just say so. On a positive note, glad to see your typical childish response with zero substance didn't contain your usual unrelated Deion reference. Maybe your insecure obsession with him is getting better. Proud of you
 
The posters who constantly insist everyone must be all sunshine all the time with their groupthink cancel culture mentality get a little exhausting.

I can concede that point to you, but you have to admit it cuts both ways. In fact I would say that doom and gloom pessimists are far more exhausting than sunshine pumpers. Even if they are misguided positive people make you feel better, dealing with Debbie Downers on a daily basis makes a person want to eat a bullet.

Additionally, every single thing that happens to this program over the next 8 months can be written off as “on paper it looks ok, I want to see it on the field next fall.” Well no shit, so does everyone else. But for the next 8 months Rhule is not going to beat iowa, Wisconsin or anyone else on the field. Every accomplishment or failure going forward will be during the offseason, does that mean we can’t celebrate anything until September? Cause it really doesn’t matter how positive or encouraging the event is it can be written off as nothing of substance.

Yeah, I hear you. However, I think the true doom and gloom debbie downer types are like 1-20 to the sunshine pumpers...at least. It's when someone is just being rational and objective, which is the case 95% of the time, and the sunshine crowd piles on that they're trolls or tells them to go cheer for another team or whatever that beats me down.

Sounds like maybe hanging out on this board all off-season isn't a good place for you. Might want to check back in September. I doubt the hype is going down with the #1 qb recruit starting winter conditioning soon.
 
So you are hanging out on a Husker board in January hoping for more negativity?
Facts = Negativity......

I can handle the hype, Lord knows I've been conditioned. I already know some guys have DR for the Heisman.....No place like Nebraska !

Actually now, facts equal positivity. NU added the 2024 #1 QB/#2 overall, two other 2024 top 100s, the 2023 #6 RB and a nice big bodied receiver. There are some other fine prospects in the 2024 class as well.
Nice spin, wake me up when we get to a bowl game.
