Joseph took the job and said, "We aren't chasing Minnesota, Iowa, and Wisconsin." Ummmm...you're 4-24 the last decade vs those 3 schools. Who are you chasing, coach, if not the teams in your division that have dominated you?

It's time for some humble pie in Lincoln and quit with all the delusions that you're still the program you once were.
