I say that before every game, just like I say we will win 11 games every year

Also, they do have more talent. Has anyone ever said otherwise?

They definitely have more talent I realize that.

You’d just think in Year 3 you’d have an OLine not getting completely outmanned even against a team with said talent and a DLine that’s not all undersized when the system you want to run literally needs bigger dudes.

We had year 3 Matt Rhule players on the DLine and at tackle last year.

Had we Nash, Ty, and Benhart this year then we win that game yesterday by probably 2 scores.
 
To exacerbate things, we can’t afford top tier DL, OL, and Rbs but have one of the most expensive operating budgets in college. And more staff positions than ever before to produce slightly above average results. Confusing to say the least.
I guarantee we’re spending all the way up to the rev share cap, so I’m not sure what the operating budget has to do with it. We don’t have an NIL budget like Biff's Butthole Surfers does, but very few teams do.

No argument on lack of NIL funds. A simple search says 34% (76mil) of our fiscal budget came from donors. Which means they help fund the operating costs for an overinflated staff that could be allocated to buying the players we need. That’s all I’m trying to say.

I think there is a large set of Nebraska donors that basically had no interest in contributing to NIL. It’s weird, but that’s what I’ve heard from certain people connected in NIL.

How could it go to players? I'm sure we are at the rev share cap. Or you saying those donors would agree to fund NIL INSTEAD of donating? That I doubt.

Wishful thinking on my part. I’m sure they want no part of the NIL.
 
We’re overreacting to one game. Not going to see teams with Michigans run game/ D edge pressure again until PSU. This team still has a lot to play for this season.

Calling a season over after a 3-1 start is ridiculous. Did a lot of you forget what the product looked like under Riley and Frost?

Dylan Raiola seems to be worth about 3 extra wins on his own this season.

Spent over half the game on his ass and still completed 73% for 310 yards and 3 TDs.

Long story short… REEEEEEELLLLAAAXXXXXX

Even as a proud card-carrying member of the SVC I agree 100% with you. For the first time in a long time I feel like the better team BEAT us, we didn’t beat ourselves with horribly timed penalties and turnovers like we’ve done SOOO MANY TIMES over the last nearly 10 years in all those one score losses. IMO that’s another step in the right direction. Would it be nice if Rhule would be like Cignetti and do it in a couple of seasons? Yes but he’s what we’ve got and I’m N with Rhule for now.
 
Not out on Rhule. I do think he has to make a couple significant moves this off-season.

Donovan Raiola has to go. If that means Dylan & Dayton aren't Huskers then so be it. Barney Cotton had better results.

EJ Berthal right behind DR. Year 3 and our RB room is nowhere near the standard for Nebraska. I do like Mozee's potential.

Donor money goes where the donor wants it to go unless they say otherwise. And as others have said we have donors who don’t like NIL and frankly don’t believe players should be paid. Now if these donors think their non-participation is gonna change anything (other than making us poor and unable to field a competitive roster) they’re fucking retarded. We’re not going back to the old system so if you want NU to win at football and basketball you gotta pony up. Now, some/most probably understand this to some degree and just don’t care, it’s their money and they don’t want it to go to 19 year olds.

But if that’s their stance, then they don’t get to make demands and/or have the highest expectations for our men’s sports. We are gonna suck if we don’t get on board. I know people will say… “what right do you have to tell other people what do with their money” I say… shut the fuck up you double digit IQ waste of space. I’m not telling anyone what to do. Just stating the obvious, either we get on board with CFB as it exists today and going forward or accept mediocrity as the norm. You’re the only one (big donors) that can change that trajectory or outcome, so if you’re not willing to help. SHUT THE FUCK UP AND ENJOY YOUR WOMEN’S VOLLEYBALL. You and your opinions are worthless to everyone who actually cares about our men’s sports and are already giving as much as they can afford. If you can afford to help and you don’t, shut the fuck up, nobody wants your opinion.

Agreed, we probably won’t face a more effective power running team going forward. (Maybe PSU, maybe USC) And we can still have a good season. But I can’t tell the negative Nancy crew they’re wrong right now. I think there’s enough evidence to say Biff's Butthole Surfers St, Maryland, USC, PSU and the Cockeye fags all could all be potential loses if we can’t find a way to getter better on defense.
 
I hadn’t heard that we have donors that “don’t believe in NIL.” That’s some serious Luddite shit there.

The top 15-20 have pretty good budgets. Then you have chit programs like Texas Tech who are paying out the a$$ as well.

If they want to compete at the highest levels then they need to do what it takes. They may need a reality check as far as what schools likes Georgia are doing compared to us. They have more money in NIL AND they are paying their high school commits who are still playing high school football!

Any chance we had at competing in NIL is just down the drain. There’s no way our boosters will be cool with cutting checks directly to kids still in HS.

a lot of donors prefer to have their name attached in some way to physical plant, etc. Nobody remembers who paid Joe Blow's NIL 20 years ago when you're dead.
 
Biff's Butthole Surfers is tier 2 now?

And you thought we’d be equal talent wise to Biff's Butthole Surfers, a team that won a natty 2 years ago?
Mich is absolutely tier 2 until proven otherwise. They got handled by Oklahoma. They're just not on the level of Ohio St, Oregon, Penn St at this point and their ranking and record reflects that.

That is the program with a lot of these southern programs. New rules set to even it out they just push it to the next level to keep the playing field as uneven in their favor as possible. It never ends.
