I am not a Nebraska fan, but those teams were awesome and we would all cream over a run like they had.

I'm getting older but I remember the Turner Gill days. (Before he became a horrible coach, he was actually a good player). People were always interested to watch Nebraska play because they or OU would always go to the Orange Bowl. I remember them coming in and winning 63-7, scores like that. One year OU came in and our cheerleaders were over on the sidelines asking Boz for his autograph.
Back in those days Nebraska was a nationally-respected powerhouse. Now? Irrelevant. Maybe it's best Bos Pelini never experience the glory years because it woudl be too depressing for him now. |

My Wildcats are about to go through the same thing.
Snyder is KSU. It would take a miracle hire to keep them going the same direction and a bigger miracle to keep the coach if it happens. |

Anyone else see the irony of KU fans calling out a team that had more wins last year than the last 4 combined

Last 3 combined. But your point does still have validity: Nebraska is now comparing themselves not to Alabama, OU, USC or Florida. But to Kansas. (That would've been unthinkable back in the 1980s before you were born)

I was at the KU-Iowa State Football game, and my entire row was in shock not over KU's performance, but the fact that KSU was down by 18 against Baylor. |

That was what...four national championships ago? Danny Manning was 25 years ago.

They're comparing their team in an off year to almost a half decade of your team combined.

For most of my life Nebraska measured itself nationally. Seems they counted Major bowl wins as a standard. College football is very competitive so maybe they have changed expectations. I know if KU basketball went 15 years without a final four and was insignificant nationally I would still support them but I would feel a bit disappointed.

It's really hard not to be amazed by Snyder. Klein is hard not to respect. Plus they are fun to watch since they score so much and in a variety of ways. I wanted to see them play Alabama but ill admit nobody had a chance to beat them. Too good. |
