This is crazy to me

[Pipe Line]

This tOSU-Mich game is massive. I don't know if we would have scored had Martinez not fumbled, and did have every opportunity to take down Ohio State. But god damn, we are essentially an Adrian fumble in crunch time against Michigan, and a couple plays away against Ohio State from making "The Game" so much less than what it is right now. Add yesterday's second half collapse, that's tough.


The offseason blows

We are soooo close. Frost will turn the corner next year.

It is crazy. I don't think close losses to very good teams mean anything if they aren't followed by wins again less good team, but the number of plays that Nebraska had that could have had big ramifications for the playoffs, conference title races, etc. is actually mind blowing when paired with a 3-9 record

lol just wild to me

Numbers don’t lie.

Same thing all four years in turnovers and penalties. What makes next year different from previous four?

Nothing. It was a joke.

May be the homer in me speaking, I've tried to stay pretty third party view the longer we're into this with Frost, but man if Adrian or our punter or we just make a tackle, or that mistake week in and week out just doesn't happen, any of those happen and Power 5 guys do what their skills allow, this record could be flipped. Tough pill

I agree with you.

But also not all close losses could of been wins as some of those losses were more than two scores before final. Other side of the coin is close wins could of been losses also.

Can Frosty get it done?

On an unrelated note. This snowy sloppy mess is what every OSU vs. Mich game should look like.

Awesome.

I find it fascinating a fan base that had 6 years of NCAA/conference records set on them during blowouts suddenly things close loses to top 10 teams isn’t good enough. I mean after 2 seasons going 5-7 and 3-7 who wouldn’t have expectations of beating 6 top 10 teams like no Nebraska team in history has ever came remotely close to doing? Why would you not?

This is such a straw man - if Nebraska had gone 6-6 and lost to every team you’re calling a Top 10 team in the way they did (which apparently means any team that touched the top 10 at any point), then people actually would have a point claiming progress - a lot of people would be on the Frost bandwagon.

Purdue, MN and Illinois man, that’s the difference and what you’re ignoring.

Haven’t all 3 of those teams won multiple huge games this season?

Why would you expect a 3-7 team to go 3-0 vs them?

The Nebraska fan base never makes sense and they are worse than bitching sailors (a bitching sailor is a happy sailor). It's sad that we moved the goal posts from winning a conference championship to now being bowl eligible as a successful season. Let's just say we event went 9-3 this year, it still would not be good enough for this fan base because they want more. Personally, I feel that the program has been cursed ever since the Ginger publicly trashed Cockeye for the reason to fire Bo and the whole fan base ate that crap up.

We were never close nfm

For one thing, we went 0-3 against them so the discussion on whether we needed to go 3-0 is *another* straw man.

And to be clear, moral victories now encompass both losses to “Top 10” teams (as you define it) and losses to any other team that won “multiple huge games” which means what exactly? Winning 4 games and beating 7-4 Penn State (with a loss to UTSA) in the case of Illinois? What wins are you characterizing as huge such that we should feel good about going winless against these 3 teams?

I am assuming you mean the fact that Purdue beat Ohio State, which now means we consider a loss good when a 7-4 team that upset a highly ranked team beats us at home?

How desperate are you to spin this season?

I’m not arguing (despite your attempts) anything, I’m just asking what your expectations were for a 3-7 team bruh.

Realistically if “The Game” isn’t playing right now, I don’t consider that one of our “should have won” games. Michigan, yes.

Can he get it done? I think so

Hah I meant no aggression, I apologize to the extent it seemed so.

Nebraska is not close. The “winning” aspect of the game is the hardest to accomplish and we haven’t been winning for a while.

The weakest link will be Frost and always him while he’s here. There’s been enough talent on team each year for just a winning record and a bowl game. He barely manages game clock right, has the worst in game rhythm for play calling. So if we take away play calling for him, what is the fucking point of keeping him lol.
