Gameday
- Thread starter dentist99
- Start date
Colin Cowherd will now start ripping Nebraska about not belonging and Husker fans will start paying attention to his show and giving him ratings. He did it to Iowa all season and this preseason. People get so worked up over it and I find it funny.
I'm sorry but Nebraska is not a top 10 team yet. At this point they are more fake than Iowa last year. But, unlike Iowa, Nebraska gets a chance to prove it on the field. Winning at Indiana today will go a long ways towards that. (Did I really just say that about Indiana)?

I think it was the fact the Gameday was laughing at us just being a good team. All we can do is keep winning .
So what your saying nicely is we're not viewed as a power house like we were in the late 1990's, we're viewed like Iowa in the 2010's.
Iowa was in almost the exact same position last year and many on here made fun of their fans for the same reaction.
Just keep winning and things will take care of themselves. We deserve the top ten ranking based on record but I don't believe we are one of the top 10 teams in the nation

The sarcasm is so disrespectful. They don't do that to any other team. I hope the players take this to heart and comes to play.
Sorry, guys. We haven't beaten anybody yet and we haven't looked impressive beating the lower echelon teams we have played.
I hope they use it as motivation and, sure, the Gameday crew could have been more kind in giving their assessment, but they aren't necessarily wrong. From what I've seen so far, we are definitely not a top 10 team. Average team or good team? Yet to be determined. If we stay undefeated until Wisconsin we will find out then.

I understand all of that but it's just the way they present their skepticism. You can say "they have a lot to prove" instead of laughing and being disrespectful.
To be fair, Herby was giggling before the 1996 Fiesta Bowl. He's never respected NU.
Pretty much. But then again, not many teams are as dominant as Nebraska in the 90's. in fact, their might only be one comparison and that's Bama now.So what your saying nicely is we're not viewed as a power house like we were in the late 1990's, we're viewed like Iowa in the 2010's.
Oh ya that makes sense. Nebraska is a good team or they wouldn't be 5-0. It amazed me at how everyone downplayed Iowa at 12-0 last year. I don't care how easy your schedule is perceived to be, 12-0 is impressive. Otherwise, everyone would be doing it. Winning does cure all and Nebraska has the upcoming schedule to prove everyone wrong.
It's the same question our fans ponder on this FAN site. I think sometimes people look for a reason to feel slighted.
I think if I look at vulnerable top 10 teams playing on the road and I'm a national broadcaster I would pick them too.
Regarding the laughing I think they were laughing at how much hatred Husker fans have for Kirk.

I wonder how much college football some of our fans watch. The constant we are not a top ten team posts are beyond a little lame. There are only about five dominanat teams out there and we are right there with the next group of 10-15 teams.
So Norte Dame was a top 10 team, how about Oklahoma, Tennessee that has had to survive on miracles all year, Stanford, yep top 10 there.
These guys are not as smart as they think they are.
I quit watching ESPN about 20 years ago, when they quit showing highlights and it became more about the guy behind the desk. That has evolved into the sports news being there opinion, not just reporting. Just like all main stream media. It's not news, it's their opinions or visions of a story.
We are top 10 and those teams are not. I'm happy we are, and I'm going to enjoy it. We will keep climbing until ww don't. Let's enjoy the ride and quit being so damn manic.

My issue is the outright mockery of Nebraska. Fine we arent as good as our record says and if you have an issue with us fine but be professional about it. Kirk is far from being professional about it.
I don't get to attend many games, but I went to the Iowa-Nebraska game last year. Despite Nebraska losing, I thoroughly enjoyed watching Iowa play a very disciplined game. That's how they got to 12-0 (by keeping themselves in position to win games), and I would be ecstatic if NU did the exact same this year. I think those who followed Iowa last year recognize they weren't a flashy elite team and that they certainly had a ceiling, but there's still something to be said about going 12-0 in a Power 5 conference.
I watched it and was not surprised. Like it or not - it is desrved. This program has not done anything worthy since the turn of the century. Anytime it has looked like we might turn the corner, we have disappointed. Win the games we are supposed to and be competitive and win some we are not, the respect will come back. Until then, any logical mind will assume the same old, same old.
BTW - glad to see some players saw this. Don't just talk tough on social media - show it on the field. That is the only way it will change.
Exactly, look at Louisville and Duke, Clemson and half their opponents, Tennessee, ect. Nebraskas schedule is fairly weak, but it wasn't supposed to be, and they've taken care of business.
There's room to look better, but most teams could besides the top 2.
Cowherd is friends with Mike Riley(He just ranked him 10th best coach in B1G/SEC) and has respect for us for scheduling Oregon. He may say we don't belong but the main reason he bashed Iowa was because their non-conference schedule is terrible every year. Nebraska plays a solid power 5 non-con opponent every year, Iowa doesn't. Nebraska plays Wisconsin and Ohio State in the next month, if we play solid against those teams the Clowns on College Gameday can eat crow.
It has always been that way. No respect against Florida in 95. Heard Chad Kelsey talk about how no one nationally gave the Huskers a chance. I think no one nationally ever believed that we belonged partially because we won with walk-ons a some sprinkled in amazing talent. They just don't believe in Nebraska resolve! It's real!!!
I see your point, but Cowherd is focusing on the weak non-conference Iowa schedules. At the time games like Fresno State were scheduled, they were an 11 win team. Obviously Oregon was good, but you cannot guarantee what they will be a few years later. Iowa has appeared to not step out and try to schedule overly tough opponents, and that is Cowherd's main problem with Iowa.

A lot of posers just waiting for that first loss just to say "I told ya so!" Do any of you experts realize that we could lose two games this year and still be ranked in the Top 10? And stop poo-pahing the Oregon victory. They were ranked when we played them and still have plenty of talent on both sides of the ball. So what if they were not a Top 10 team this year. We are not likely to beat anyone in the Top 5. That said, it's still possible on any given day. GBR
Who cares. We will get our chance to prove what we are. At this point in the season we are exactly where we should be rankings wise. Doesn't mean we will end up there but right now I can't think of a team that deserves to ve ranked ahead of us as of this morning.
