In the past I’d say it’s gonna be Bama. If Saban was still there I’d say Bama.
Neither of which is true because Rhule is about to wake the giant.

Meanwhile in Cockeye City...we're supposedly stuck in the 90's, and they're handing out rings for winning a division. LMAO
Did people really think this would last forever? Pisses me off even more with the decisions that our administration made the last 20 years. The new sheriff proves that it didn't need to be this way.

Also in Cockeye City: "Nebraska football is completely irrelevant on the national stage. No one talks about Nebraska. No even notices that Nebraska has a football team. It's like Nebraska FB doesn't exist"
Yet we continue to be one of the most visible CFB programs in the country, bc of who we are & our national fanbase. Even our haters are starting to admit that. I'm not flexing on that (I'd rather have Ws)....just pointing out that Cockeye fans like to lie to themselves when it comes to Nebraska.

We are still relevant nationally, barely. Last few coaches, especially the last one tarnished the brand, but we are still there. All those blue hairs that people like to bitch about have helped keep us relevant and in a position to be revived with the right coach. Die hard fans are the only thing that has kept the program alive the last 20 years, terrible management and decisions up top, but the fans stayed loyal. Sure will be nice if it pays off.

Dabo has not changed with the times and Clemson's results have shown it.

That's not really true though. Nebraska is one of the most visible CFB programs in the country, in the current media/fan landscape. To say that Nebraska is irrelevant nationally is just not true.
For Nebraska: the TV ratings are high, social media engagement metrics are sky-high, HC visibility is sky-high, recruiting visibility is very high. Hell, for On 3, Nebraska is their 2nd-highest trafficked webpage in their entire network.
The calculus has changed in just the last 5 yrs as CFB merges more with social media & online engagement and away from traditional media sources like newspapers and over-the-air TV (think Tony Kornheiser etc). NU shines in the new CFB reality as we have a true national following and our fans are relentless online engagers. And NIL only makes Nebraska more relevant nationally.
If you were to create a new "National Relevancy" metric based on most important engagement factors in the year 2024, NU would easily be in the top 10 most relevant programs. Maybe even top 8. I'm not celebrating this necessarily, bc we should have to win more to earn this....but this is absolutely true.

That’s all well and good. But let’s go win sum fucking games and be relevant on the scoreboard already

I was using the barely in relationship to time. I don't know if our relevancy could handle another Frost era. Another bad coach might have seen us slip into irrelevancy. Frost era was rough.
