Growing up, had you told me that teams like Oregon, Penn St, Iowa, and Wisconsin would be picked ahead of Nebraska and Nebraska fans would be happy/accept it I would laugh at you. Yet sadly we are here...
Yea.
Not great.
You will receive much backlash for this common sense statement.
Unsure which is worse.
Which Husker fans are happy that Nebraska is behind Oregon, Penn State, Iowa and Wisconsin?
Please, show me one Husker fan happy about that.
Just one.
Let’s be honest… you’re mistaking Husker fans being happy that pundits are placing them in the top 25 in preseason stuff as being happy to be behind the programs you mentioned.
Are Husker fans happy to be considered a top 25 teams? No question. Are the happy to be behind Iowa and Wisconsin? No Husker fan is.
Given that NU has not had the requisite coaching and player talent to compete in the top half of the league for several years, this is less acceptance than acknowledgment of reality. This year we get to see if this has changed.
The people posting in the never ending CU and iowa threads seem downright giddy despite our not having beaten either in 500+ days.
Much, much longer with regards to CU.
I get it - it’s the off-season. Best time by far to be a Cornhusker because the scoreboard is turned off.
The other poster said Husker fans were happy to be behind the likes of Wisconsin and Iowa. Do you believe that to be true?
Husker fans can be happy, downright giddy, about a lot of things football related and not be happy to be behind those programs… correct?
That’s the point I was arguing. Of course Husker fans are happy to see Iowa and CU encounter difficulties, even though we haven’t had much success against them recently. Should Husker fans not be happy then? Should we just wallow in our own failures?
I don’t get why happy Husker fans are interpreted as being happy to be behind those programs. That’s not the case.
If I’m wrong, bring names. Which Husker fans are happy to be behind those programs? I’ll wait…
C'mon Kong. There is a huge difference between happy to see apparent improvement and satisfied with current results. I can be happy the team finishes 7-5 or 8-4 in 2024 and not be satisfied with that being the best record we have over the next 10 years.
It's the idea that we are happy. Most are happy about it. Most are glad we aren't last again. Most want badly to finish above .500 because most are that realistic. We have been bad bad for longer than most recruits have been watching sportscaster. That's just a fact. Oregon has procured talented coaching and players. That's just a fact. Iowa amd especially Wisc have owned us (hurts to type). Again, fact. Most are happy because we see that this time where we finish wont be where we start. Most see that we are cheering for a team on the cusp. Right there and maybe about to turn a corner. One we haven't got past in almost a decade.
So yes many are happy, few are content.
Huskers should always be in the top 8 as long as life exists
