Part of Nebraska's problem since 2000 is the year long hype. Media is constantly producing "positive" stories to feed the Nebraska Nation. The coaches from the top down go along. For media it's about selling and profits. The players get caught up in this mess and don't understand reality. Riley likes to be Mr. Nice Guy and not be truthful with the players and the media. I know Snider at K- State along with Patterson at TCU don't sugar coat to the players or the media. The negative at Nebraska is Nebraska Football is what sells and the media provides with all kinds of positive twists all year long. Just look at how many online reports are out there these days. Football is a hard nose game. The media with all kinds of positive twists on stories and past history all year long aren't doing the program any favors. Example, all the hype about Tanner Lee from camps. But it appears he is performing just like he did at Tulane in actual games. Media is partially to balame for giving everyone a false sense of reality. The result is the hype about recruiting and the future.
