I'm not buying the notion that Nebraska is DOA right now.

Even with average coaching they were able to have 9-10 wins a year and were just outside of the top 10 and a win or 2 away from being in the title race.

In 2009 Nebraska was :01 away (and arguably screwed over) from defeating Texas which made the BCS title game.

I think Nebraska is actually quite close to returning to be a perennial top 10 or top 15 team year in, year out.

Hell no. Glad to see Nebraska out of that dumpster fire of a conference. BIG Ten is a way better conference for Nebraska than the Big XII ever was.

Nebraska is the obvious answer. However, until they realize that they need to bring in some serious recruiters that can lure elite talent to Lincoln, nothing is gonna change.

there is a huge difference in being a perennial top 10/15 team and going back to what they were in the 90s(and 80s). They were a perennial top 3 team in the 90s, and in all honesty their 1995 team was one of the most dominant teams in the history of all team sports. I just don't see those days coming back, and its a shame, because college football would be even better right now with a nebraska program filled with some big arse farm boys playing smash mouth football going toe to toe with alabama.

All we really need here is a good coach who can be successful in big games, something that Bo was never able to do as HC. I really hope that Mike Reilly can do it, but I have my doubts and I hate uncertainty.
