Poor Nebby

I was driving through Colorado/Nebraska yesterday on my way back to Iowa and it was a constant stream of husker fans migrating west.

Are you racing down at Knoxville at that end of season weekend they are having? Saw it advertised on WHO and thought of you.
 
This is my favorite post from the husker message board:

Good lord, I can't take this crap. I finally thought Frost would get us back to where this program should be. Obviously not.....

What are our options next?

We have to lure a big name in, we shouldn't be a proving ground for some wanna be -

Get Urban Meyer out of retirement
Steal Franklin from PSU
Pederson from Washington
Maybe Campbell from ISU if he can show he can finally beat Iowa
 
I get not liking Nebraska, I’m no fan myself, and today’s loss was rough but if you can’t see the influx of talent, culture change, and similarities to Campbell taking over Iowa state then I will buy your Frost stock. Its not his fault the media overrated his team and his fan base is delusional and thinks it’s still the 90s. Give it time and they will run that weak side of the conference and be a top 20 program consistently
 
Too bad for Nebby. The hype train pulled out of the station at least a year too early for them. Now it's a matter of how patient Husker fans will be and what their definition of success is going forward.

But will consistently being a top 20 program be good enough? The main problem at Nebraska right now is unrealistic expectations.
 
Yep. Things are different than they were in the glory days. Husker fans just have unrealistic expectations based on the Osborne era.
I can’t think of a single advantage NU had in their run that hasn’t diminished.

Their hopes are pinned on hiding out in a weak division and tradition that recruits fathers may care about.
 
Coming within a fumble recovery of losing to UNI (again) really tempers my dissing of other teams early season performances.

Gotta do something with the bye week. It's really not that surprising of a loss. Boulder is always a tough road trip. And just about everyone is a year or two ahead of where Nebraska actually is under Scott Frost.
