I only started venturing onto Husker boards in 2002, just before we got our first beloved doses of Jammal Lord and the all-white away uniforms. By that point, we already had a lot of the shine knocked off from Black Friday at Boulder the previous year, and things obviously never got back to even that point again. I don't know if any of the boards were sufficiently developed to really be a good comparison going back to '99 or even '97. I know the real old-timers talk about the Austin360 and Tough Tony days and all that (still not sure I even understand the evolution there, but oh well). I have to believe those weren't quite like what RSS or Husker247 have become in the past 15 years or so.
So my question is this: How do you think we'd behave as an online fanbase if we were consistently competing for conference championships, winning them with some regularity, and every once in a while making a play for the national title? What would our taters be doing to demonstrate their taterness? How would the hip cynical types take it?
I agree with most of the responses so far. In addition to predicting Natty's next year by the Pete's of the world, there would be people bitching about play calling after a 30 point win against a ranked team where we put up 600 yards and 52 points.
