How much more pain are Nebraska fans really willing to take?
For the better part of a decade now ever game has been pretty fucking predicable on the outcome.
I don’t live in Nebraska anymore buts it’s easy to see why my nephews and nieces don’t like Nebraska football.

I married into a family that is super casual when it comes to football. Painful to watch a game with most of them besides my brother-in-law. I envy their blissful ignorance. If it wasn’t for this place I would probably join them.

A culture of losing begets more losing.

Year two taking over a broken program being led by an amazing freshman. This team is so much better than teams going back starting from last year. Culture plus more talent builds winning team. The talent is getting better, but still not where you need it yet.

Sir, this is a Nebraska football fan forum. This is no place for objective, rationale, reasoned, and nuanced takes.

Longest bowl less streak in CFB

Every OT game since Pelini
8 losses
points
0 first downs
4 interceptions
-16 total yards of offense

Nebraska is 3-18 in one-score games since the start of 2021.
The Huskers' last five losses are all by one score.

What is even the point.

Day after is for overreacting not being rational. Save it for tomorrow, bub.

Except it’s another game of the same shit that’s happened every year for damn near 10 years

We have so many seniors this year. This team is likely better overall than the team we will have next year. I’m sick just thinking about it.

I’m on the side of every senior that doesn’t play winning football gets benched.
It’ll create a massive liability next year to play a class full class full of nothing but guys that’s have always lost that get beat in any close game.

Did one person even predict us to lose?

If we exclude 8 hours of sleep per night the rate rises to 1.92 posts per hour.

Who would of thought the guy that coached Wisconsin for six years would have a good OL, strong running game, average QB that seems to always make the play when needed most, decent defense that comes up with the big play when needed, good special teams.

Change the uniforms and last night looks like a lot of our losses to Wisconsin.

Except last year against us. 😉

Yeah, well you should see the Dawg forum after a win.

DR is going to feel awful about that throw but its not his fault for one bad throw. The rest of the team didnt do shit.

Agreed the team played like shit but still had a chance in the end. Not an excuse but if we get refs like last night the rest of the way it's going to be a long season.

Next year's schedule is rough too. Doubt bigly that we'll have a shot at going bowling

To that end do people think Rhule will do his normal magic and make a 3rd year leap to prominence? I don’t see it as the leagues is littered with better coaches.

There's a big chance we don't this year. Outside of Purdoodoo who else do we have confidence in beating?
