A lot easier to get to 6 than 7… if you are gonna ask for money and depend on that 7th win, the way this team plays, may not happen.
I notice you said, “I live in Omaha” not, “I’m a Husker fan.”
Soccer team was decent. Wbb doing well again. Bowling team nationally ranked top 5 again. We're not iowa. Track teams did great. Wrestling did good.
IMO this program doesn't need any more "gifts" till these dudes start winning and playing to their potential. I want them to be successful, but at some point they need to earn the damn stuff that they have. It's embarrassing to spend this kind of money and have nothing in return.Troy Dannen's 'want to win six' comments won't sit well with some Nebraska fans
The man in charge of the Nebraska football purse strings has a good reason for wanting to win, but the talk of why isn't going to go over well.huskercorner.com
I want to win six because we are going to start asking people for gifts,” Dannen said on Monday night’s episode of Sports Nightly. “(The stadium project) will cost a lot of money.”
I’ve never understood the project as it seems such a hassle to incrementally tear down sections of the stadium. Plus, the cost of said “upgrades” is about 1/3 the price it would cost to build a whole new stadium.
If we don't get 6 wins, just burn that fvcking stadium to the ground, take the insurance money and start over. At least the bs sellout streak will finally come to an end.
Dannen has the mercenary CEO feel of, I am going to do the things that better places expect me to do to seem good at my job. Open up revenue options, every decision is about the bottom line, do things that might seem out of touch or disconnected from the humanity of the place but it makes the most money...plop all of that on a resume and promote out. College football to fans is a DEEPLY personal experience, a very human experience but to him and most traveling ADs it is purely about creating visible monetary change to get promoted. I don't know if that is better than having someone that loves NU or not...a lot of the people who profess to love NU, seem to love themselves more. Always going to be a disconnect between coaches who are scamming for a 80 million dollar contract, and ADs who are creating changes to purely make money, vs fans and alums who just love and are fanatics for the N. We certainly know that making more money(ie joining the big 10) doesn't equate to winning more.Troy Dannen's 'want to win six' comments won't sit well with some Nebraska fans

Go away dip$&it..
Every other person who is a fan, in spite of their frustrations about the state of the program, actually roots for success for the program.
