re: Youngstown State Penguins fans on Pelini

Mike Riley was a disaster for them. Pelini wasn’t awful. He was 9-3 Pelini. Funny thing is, at exactly 67 games, Harbaugh has the same record at Michigan as Pelini had at Nebraska, 46-19. I just think Pelini’s scheme, like Harbaugh’s, has passed him by in this era of college football.

Frost is a good coach, but Nebraska will never get back to 1990s or even 1970s/1980s Nebraska. End of Prop 48 really hurt their recruiting, as well as how college football has changed since then. Leaving the Big 12 also hurt their recruiting, plus it’s just damn hard to recruit kids to Lincoln. Although there are a billion reasons annually why the move to the Big Ten was the right decision for the university, the athletic department is 2x 3x richer than it was, and they don’t have to deal with Texas dictating terms, the Big Ten move hurt them on the field.
