Well this sucks!

[SkulzNBonz]

One thing DONU can boast is that they are the only program in college football history to have back to back 100 win decades 80's and 90's

In the 80s we have the best winning record for that decase and even though we won 100+ game in the 90's, Florida St had the best record by 2 games or so.

I am not sure of the context here. Typically when speaking of decades, it is like the 10s or 20s not just a random 10 year period

How is the last 10 years just a random 10 year period. It's literally the last 10 years.

The timing of whoever put it on X and/or why the OP would post it now is questionable though. Those numbers would indicate that we broke that record like 15 losses ago.

it's any rolling 10 year period.

So many Iowa trolls on here. Don’t you have some cousins to impregnate?

I thought it stood for No bowl.

In the 70s we were 2 wins shy of 100 wins which woulda given us 3 decades in a row with 100 wins per decade, even with 2 wins shy is absolutely mind blowing

70s 98 wins 70-79

80s 103 wins 80-89

90s 108 wins 90-99

That's 309 wins in 3 decades and as I posted in this thread, Nebraska is the only team in CFB history ever to post back to back 100+ win decades.

What's even more mind blowing was, of those 309 wins 255 of those belonged to Osborne and was the fastest to reach those wins in only 25 years with only 49 losses and did this at only one school.

People wanna claim that Saban is the GOAT because of all of his Natty's, well here's something to think about. Back in 2021, top flight guru's calculated that for Saban to catch Osborne's winning percentage, he woulda had to have won 70 games in a row to catch it.

Because Osborne was the fastest to reach that milestone with 3 titles and 13 conference titles of his own and shoulda had more along with coaching the greatest team of all time 1995, The College Football HOF committee waved the required waiting time and inducted Osborne only 2 years after he retired in 99. Now tell me who the GOAT is!

Osborne was also the first coach in college football history to retire as a reigning national champion.

F U. Figure out what that stands for.

 

[RedBarchetta]

Two things Iowa fan has to consider here.

1. They aren't considered a Blue Blood.
2. If they were considered a Blue Blood, they'd take the top spot.

 

[huntered]

so we could go 12-0 next year and still be last?

 

[Landomatic]

Now tell me who the GOAT is!

It's Saban, sorry dude

 

[Pennsyhusker]

Who cares?
We suck. We have sucked for ten years. And all signs point to continued suckiness.
We are “blue bloods” just like some 90 year old aristocrat who lost his estate decades ago but still polishes the silver once a year in the basement of his tiny retirement apartment.

Let's not split hairs. We suck.

And let's remember this when people are debating things like whether or not our fans should charge the field if we beat Colorado or any other trivial matters.

Yeah, I think the question is, where do we draw the line? I mentioned in another thread that I think our rightful place may be back in the Big 12 and some posters think that's a loser's mentality. Much like rushing the field, it probably is. But there's also a point in there where you have to acknowledge that we do, in fact, suck. How long does that need to continue and where are we supposed to draw the line between accepting it and acting like it's not true, or just a temporary setback. I don't know the answers. I just know it's been a long time since I've been happy with my Husker fandom, minus a small glimmer here and there. Don't know if moving conferences or rushing the field like we've never been there before or whatever else will fix it. But I do know that what we're currently doing isn't working. There's something more going on than just having made all bad coaching hires time after time after time.

I would gladly go back to the Big 12. Nebraska would go back to a situation where we would have a competitive advantage again. Our chances of winning the Big 12 are probably 4-5 times greater than winning the Big 10. Hell, some of us may not live to see Nebraska ever win a Big 10 championship. I would rather be a big fish in a smaller pond at this point. If we played Colorado, K State, Iowa State, Kansas, Okie State, mix in a few of the Texas schools, Utah or Arizona schools that would still be a challenging schedule, but we could compete. Colorado is really no better than they were last year, but they've been winning & keeping it together. Now they are 8-2, a year after getting humiliated in the Pac 12.
