this loss today goes to show that anybody can beat anybody on any given Saturday. You must be ready mentally to play each week. The good news is that the defense is playing better. Lets not get into the 'fire Mike Riley' mode. The last thing this program needs is to go into transition again with a new coaching staff.

I promise you. We will get our asses handed to us for most of the year. However, he will have his one HUGE Riley upset against either Purdue or Minnesota and people will.........Oh. Forget it.

Huskers certainly have their issues but I think this team can get better under Riley. He needs more time.

Disagree. What the hell does it matter if we go through yet another coaching change? If you support what we witnessed today, your opinion is invalid. At least to me.

What makes you think we'll get better under Riley? Things have done nothing but gotten worse.

Sorry but the whole "Mediocre Mike" title is fitting as hell for him.

NIU's QB was their backup QB, Diaco's defense was handed a lead and promptly let the other team march down the field to take the lead back.

What in the last 2 1/3 years makes you think we may get better under Riley? Too be fair...we can't get much worse.
 
My goodness. So much negativity. Watch, just watch, Nebraska will beat both Wisconsin and Ohio State.

As much as anything this is a transition year. New defense new quarterback young group of players. 2018 looks very good. I fully expect Nebraska to win the Big Ten West.

I like your morning trivia posts.
 
So being opponistic makes a troll. My goodness.

No. Oregon is worse than we think.

I wish I could say I believe that but I don't. This was not a good team that Nebraska lost to today. In year 3 you should be beginning the climb back up with year 4 being the typical breakthrough year. How often do you see a staff suck in year 3 and wind up doing anything of relevance at that school?
We were sold this hire as a way to put Nebraska over the top and it wasn't a major rebuild job. Then year 1 happens and it's suddenly a rebuild. Now it's year 3 and still no tangible improvements. I would ask what unit has significantly improved since his staff took over? Also having essentially the same winning percentage as you did at the last job just tells me he is who he is.

Colorado's coach is doing ok after a rough start there. He's in year five, but a few seasons ago, it wasn't looking too good. I think Riley will be around next year as well. All you can do is hope like hell they can turn it around. Right now, that doesn't look promising.

What it shows is who can coach and who can't.
Past five years NIU averaged about 95 in recruiting.
Nebraska averages about 30th in that span. With better facilities and resources
 
I was told we are playing a directional school and that we have a nfl qb.
but the scariest thing is people actually believed a first year qb was going to be joe montana.

Being convinced Nebraska only hope is being a running team, Im ok with riley being around a few more years, so the pass happy crowd will finally shut up.

and we can get back to Nebraska football
