What would that do to the short-term prospects of your school? You gotta realize that even with sheer talent, that is going to kill off much of the momentum that you guys have gained in the offseason and it could lead to a very down class or two coming in. Granted, this is the doomsday scenario in Nebraska, but then again, how long will the AD there accept losing before Callahan gets the axe? One season? Two? Its going to be a very critical year for Nebraska and it could be ugly if they struggle.

Our AD understands this to be a challenge. I'm thinking if he doesn't do well after 3 or 4 years he is gone. They will let his recruits play and see what they can do. Its hard to blame a coach when the guy before you left you with 0 talent and 0 depth at key positions. Regardless I don't think this team will stay down long. He's brought in too many good players for that to happen.

DB- what's your feeling on Solich? I don't think we've ever discussed that?

BMF Bronco · 09-01-2005, 01:38 PM

He was a pile of $hit but not as bad as canaspam!

I don't hate him he just couldn't recruit players. He could coach though. He got alot out of players thats what he was good at. Still he left the school and we had like 4 DT's last year. Tell me how a D can last with just 4 damn DT's all year. I wish him well at his new college and everything but we are going to be ok with our guy now.

FADERPROOF · 09-01-2005, 07:39 PM

I just hope that Nebraska can survive that BRUTAL schedule this year, I mean a Division 1AA school in Maine, Wake Forest who just lost to Vanderbilt, Pittsburgh who is a middle of the pack Big East team...wow way to challenge yourselves this year.

I hope one day that Ohio State will grow a pair of balls and schedule teams of that calibur, we may lose a couple then.

Florida_Bronco · 09-02-2005, 11:04 AM

Good take DB, I agree that he was a good coach, but he just couldn't bring in the talent like Osborne could.

Faderproof, every team has games that are "gimmes" like that each year.

Thought some of you might like this.............

A Colorado family of football supporters head out one Saturday to do
their Christmas shopping. While in the sports shop the son picks up a Nebraska jersey and says to his older sister, "I've decided to become a Husker fan and I would like this for Christmas".

His big sister is outraged by this and promptly whacks him round the head
and says, "Go talk to mother".

Off goes the little lad with the Nebraska jersey in hand and finds his mother. "Mom?"

"Yes son?"

"I've decided I'm going to be a Nebraska fan and I would like this
Jersey for Christmas".

The mother is outraged at this, promptly whacks him around the head and
says, "Go talk to your father!"

Off he goes with the Nebraska Jersey in hand and finds his father.
"Dad?"

"Yes son?"

"I've decided I'm going to be a Nebraska fan and I would like this jersey for Christmas".

The father is outraged and promptly whacks his son around the head and
says, "No son of mine is ever going to be seen in THAT!"

About half an hour later they're all back in the car and heading towards home. The father turns to his son and says "Son, I hope you've learned something today?"

The son says, "Yes, Dad, I have."

"Good son, what is it?"

To which the son replies, "I've only been a Nebraska fan for an hour and I already hate you Colorado bastards*."

Go Big Red!

*but I must admit... some of the best people on this board are CU fans too.

HAHAHAHA, that was good man!

I respect CU and Oklahoma though, in all honesty, they are very good programs.

A gimme and a joke schedule is a different thing, Ohio State over Miami(OH) is a gimme for OSU, but Miami(OH) would beat Maine and Wake by 40 points.

Plus, you're in the Big 12 north, giving you guys what should be 3 or 4 more gimme's this year.

But hell, when you go 5-6 and see your once proud prestigous football program go down the drains, guess you gotta do something for some wins.

Blah blah blah. NU has had one system for 100 years. Now they are changing it. Lets say you are the AD at NU and you are making the switch to the WCO O would you schedule tougher teams on the road? Lets be real even though NU is down Do you think teams like FSU, Miami, and Florida will travel to NU in the winter months? Please its not happening. This isn't a BCS team so why the **** would they make a schedule that would rank them in the top 5 of the nation? It took us going to USC in 07 for them to make the trip to Lincoln in 08. Samething with Penn state and ND. We had to go there first. We do have 3 top 25 teams on our schedule and you never know if Colorado or KState will crack the top 25 as well. The better the team gets then they will start scheduling harder teams. It just wasn't going to be this year.

I don't care what you seem to think about my team anyways. Once Ohio State is out of the race you will go to one of your other 15 college teams you root for. I can't wait for Texas to stomp Ohio!

For not caring what I think about your ****ty ass team, you seem to get quite worked up about it. I find it hilarious that you try and use the "other college team" smack, because I guarantee that I'm a bigger Buckeyes fan that you are a Nebraska Cornhuskers fan. As for Texas stomping us, nice try and wishful thinking, but it's not going to happen, and I'll be sure to remember you saying this after it occurs as well.

Your schedule sucks, as much as you can try to justify why they scheduled the teams they did, the schedule still sucks. Maine isn't even a D-1 team, Wake Forest just got beat by a D-1 doormat in Vanderbilt, a 7 win season is hardly something to be proud of based on the NU schedule.

So how do you plan on proving that you are a bigger fan then me? Are we going to take a quiz? Please. Now I got a bet for you DenFan. Simple little bet. We each put in 20 bucks and the first team to win the NC wins the money. Each year each team doesn't win we put in 5 buck till one team wins. I'm sure some nice poster here would love to hold the money for us via Pay Pal. I like our chances to win before Ohio State.

Let me get this straight...

the bet is 20 bucks this year between Ohio State and Nebraska to win the National Championship, if neither team does then the next year it becomes a 25 dollar bet, then the following year a 30 dollar bet if no team wins the NC the previous year.

I'm really confident that I'll be getting 20 bucks at the end of this year, but what I'm even more confident about is that we'll win a National Title before Nebraska does no matter how long it takes.

So I accept, Ohio State vs. Nebraska in the race for the National title.

Yep its a bet. I don't think Ohio State makes it through that schedule this year but if they do more power to them. I would rather they win sooner then later

. I think NU has a good chance of making its move next year. We get Colorado and Texas at home and we get USC on the road without Lienart and Bush in the second game of the year.

DBroncos4life · 09-02-2005, 06:33 PM

Oh the bet would go like this. Each of us places 20 bucks into an account, then each year we put in 5 bucks so year one its 40 then 50, and so on and so on.

It's cool, I accept the bet no matter the stipulations of the increased pot, this will be a good one, very unique to say the least.

Well, I hopefully have a few years before even having kids, so that would really suck if it took that long for OSU to win another national title.

Heading to the season opener in a little while.... it's going to be interesting to see the new guys.

Just found this thread.

GO BIG RED

I'm listening to the season opener over the net right now. We've been screwing up in the red zone. We'll probably pull away in the second half, but we look a little rusty. Not that anyone in the Big 12 has looked great today.

Hell yeah man!!

I haven't had a chance to look at any of the highlights of the game yet, but I'm hoping we'll get better in the next game.

And yeah, Big 12 looked pretty sad today with Oklahoma getting beat by TCU and Colorado almost getting knocked off by CSU.

FADERPROOF · 09-04-2005, 10:32 AM

Hopefully you guys can hold off the powerhouse known as Maine, way to challenge yourselves.

Sideburn · 09-04-2005, 11:04 AM

D1AA looked good against the big 12 yesterday.

Okie state barely gets by Montana State, and the Bugeaters only put up 25 against Maine. Big 12 is going to suck this year.

Darkhawk24 · 09-04-2005, 01:25 PM

OSU - Nebraska national championship bet!?! Now there is one bet I hope you both never see the money!

Although it's -MUCH- easier rooting for Nebraska.
