KF has averaged 5 freakin losses a season, by any college football fan's definition that is MEDIOCRE...wake up and smell the coffee!
Don't show your^, be respectful and let your actions speak for themselves. It's okay to have witty banter but show some decorum and you might find you'll have a better time. Unless you enjoy being a ^ then continue on your way keyboard warrior.
4 and 4 actually....worst period in Nebraska football and the best you can do is break even.
We'll really have to work to get to Iowa's 7-5 level of mediocrity. Thank God we don't set our sights so low.
Actually after watching your porous defense and soft OL/DL lines I'd say so. So different from the dominant lines you used to have. Lots to fix on D. Hopefully your current former Hawkeye is much better than your last former Hawkeye.
This is where I don’t think some Husker fans understand what they are accusing Iowa of doing. If you go through the timeline of Kirk and his extensions, it makes sense. Three top ten finishes in the mid 2000’s got him the contract that was so highly ridiculed. But it wasn’t ridiculed until the late 2000’s when he was underperforming.
His seat got hot before 2008 and then 2009 happened. Iowa was a broken ankle away from likely running the table and winning the Big Ten outright. Then he got an extension of 10 years. 2010 was a bad season with so much hype.
Then a string of underperforming seasons happened again. After 2014 Kirk’s seat was red hot. Then he went and won 12 games in 2015 and got another extension. Followed by his usually swoon downward.
A lot of posters on here act like Iowa handed Kirk extensions after strings of 7-6, 8-5 seasons. It’s just not true.
You can call me a homer but with what Iowa has returning and the past couple recruiting classes, Iowa should be lined up for some stellar seasons. If Kirk can stay out of his own way.
You are exactly right. Our programs are very similar over the last 15 years. The difference lies in the fact that we are ashamed and continue to try to make coaching improvements, while you continue to give your coach raises and contract extensions.
Notice how you guys are getting shittier and shittier? There's a reason for that (hint, read your own post). We own you guys now and likely will continue to do so until your fanbase wakes up and accepts a dose of reality.

I believe that there should be legislation making computers harder to operate.
Nebraska has the greatest fan base in all of CFB. You are not a great representative this proud and classy fan base.
Great post. I was actually talking to some friends about this the other day. Saying it was a good thing we got rid of Riley when we did, because Iowa and Wisconsin are gearing up to go on some serious runs.
You can call me a homer, but I wouldn’t be surprised if Iowa started 0-2 next season.
Wouldn’t be the first time they lost to Northern Illinois to start a season. Do you guys remember what they have returning? I don’t have a clue what their roster looks like.
Looks like 9-3 stars in the past three recruiting classes so you’re probably right. But I meant as far as starters and production. The kid that took the first INT back for a TD against Nebraska was an all-American or something wasn’t he? Does he graduate?
Hey you continue to be proud of your team. Of course, on this board KF results are not good enough for Nebraska. Would you really expect any different from Nebraska fans? We expect to do better. It's been that way for a long time. Football is king. If NU is not competitive at the top then you're going to hear from Husker fans that they are unhappy with the results. I'll fight with my Husker brethren about how we get there and exactly how much patience we should show. But middle of the pack in our conference division is unacceptable. So, if you come over here expect to hear "our" homers to be derisive of Kirk's results. It's just not good enough for Husker fans.

Correction you guys own Mike Riley not Nebraska. Now you have to contend with Scott Frost...whole different ball game. It's funny for the last several years the fans on your board have made many comments about wanting some other big time school to hire Scott Frost before Nebraska does...knowing that he may do great things. Now we've hired him and all I hear from the Ioweegans is what an over rated hire.
Not looking for sympathy but I figured some direction may be needed. Like I said, Kirk was on the verge of getting the boot because fans were upset with the results after 2014. I would venture to guess that if Pelini had atleast one season at 12-2, he may still be the coach at Nebraska.
If Kirk goes 7-5 next year, fans will be very restless. Like I’ve said, Kirk hasn’t gotten rewarded for being 7-5 every season. He got rewarded for having Iowa in the national title hunt a few seasons during his tenure. You can blame the AD for his contracts and such, but don’t act like the majority of Iowa fans are happy with 7-5 or 8-5 if they beat BC.
BO had teams in three conference championship games during his 7 years as coach, and that didn't save him.
This century has just started. And Iowa has never come close to winning any prominent title and never will. Celebrate beating us at our lowliest point, while you can. Things are about to change.
All in his first four years? If Nebraska went 12-2 in 2014, he wouldn’t still be the coach?
Listen, I’m in record as saying Iowa needs a change at the top. Kirk needs to do better than just one great season every four years. But he hasn’t been locked in for life because of 18 years of 7-5, 8-5; which is what Iowa gets accused of.
You guys should visit the Iowa free board after Iowa lost to Purdue. You’d pry change your idea of what Iowa fans expect.

It was never really like that. Look how people trash certain current players, and any coach that does not have the correct amount of Husker ties.
I don't think anyone said overrated but definitely young and unproven, with zero experience as a head coach at a Power 5 conference school. And if he fails (yeah yeah I know, he won't, it's Scott Frost, the second coming...) your football program is screwed. See Minnesota.
Thank you for posting this. I have not seen this thread or I would have shared this. If this turns into another Iowa vs Nebraska thread so be it but as someone who was a hawkeye living in Nebraska for 12 years I can assure you Nebraskans would have been telling this guy to shut the he'll up with the drivel he was spewing on HR.
Actually Minnesota is 206 wins behind Nebraska. Nebraska would have to go win less for 19 straight seasons and Minnesota would have to go undefeated for 19 straight seasons for Nebraska to be considered Minnesota. With that said, mighty Iowa is still trailing Minnesota by 51 wins...OUCH!
Well if it makes you happy to point to your all time wins if you go 20+ years with losing records or barely breaking .500 then good for you because that's where you'll likely be headed if Frost can't turn it around.
And that's where you're headed when mediocre Kirk retires and Junior takes over...you'll be Minnesota!
Wow, I can play this game! If Devaney had failed, we’d have become Wyoming. If Osborne had failed we’d have become Kansas. Clowns like you (usually from Iowa) have speculated on our impending failure forever. Now you’re playing your dumb “if” game before Frost has held his first practice. At least we have a history of taking chances and winning meaningful titles.. and history is on our side. You have a history mired in mediocrity. So, troll, take your negative speculations back to your own crummy Board and stay away from ours.
Impending failure? Lol! It's already happening! The rest of the college football world except most NE fans can clearly see it. But stay in the '90's if it makes you feel better.
I do honestly think Frost has a decent chance to get NE back to being competitive, but again, with your past 20 year history of unrealistic expectations and a quick trigger finger with your coaches, if for whatever reason Frost doesn't work out I think NE football will be done for good, as no decent coach without NE ties will want to touch that job.

You are such a "Know Nothing". So firing Solich was a huge mistake, then why is Ohio the best job he was able to get. So firing Callahan was a mistake, he's never even been a head coach again. So firing Bo was a mistake, the best job he could get was Youngstown State. So firing Riley was a mistake, he's an assistant at Oregon State now.
