Who has it worse than us? (1 Viewer)

Over the past 2 coaching staffs (HCMR and HCSF), seven years or so, what other P5 teams have had it worse than DONU?

I'm not looking strictly at overall W-L records in this timeframe, but more at programs who spend a lot, have a history of winning and championship success, and have a loyal and committed fanbase who is invested in the program win or lose.

A couple that should be in the conversation? Texas, Miami, USC, FSU... who else?

Indiana basketball because they are us.

Arizona

they don't really have a winning history and committed fanbase, or alumni financial support for football, do they?

This is the only other one I could think of

I think you could argue that all of those teams have had it worse than us, given their built-in recruiting advantages.

I would say Miami.... They suck despite being awash in weather and talent, and their fans do not show up and are incredible douches. Plus, they have a turnover chain.

Miami and Tennessee for sure

That's a fair point. Florida St isn't far from that but their suckiness isn't quite as prolonged as ours. They won the title 10 years ago?

FSU had Famous Jameis... That was less than 10 years ago I believe.

This was my vote for the reasons you outlined.

They got a bigger win this week than NU has had in at least 5 years

Going back 7 years I can't think of a team that has been down as bad as Nebraska. Even Miami and Tennesee have had a few moments. We've had one moment, Riley beating Michigan State. That's our high point over 7 years...

True, but we've almost won many more times so that evens it out. 🙄

Sarcasm aside, I think we are still a much better program all around than Miami. The geographic talent gap is mountainous, but there are more foundational advantages to Nebraska overall. The Canes program seems very shaky and is pushing 4th in their own state at times.

FSU has been atrociously bad lately

Yea, I can see the argument, and NU would probably have similar win totals in the ACC. It's really hard for me to rank any of those as worse than NU the past 5 years. They have 35 wins over that time, nearly double NU.

It's us and it's not even close.

In the sense that Pittsburgh was ranked 17th. The only reason they were ranked is because the ACC is so down this year.
