Does Nebraska have a Delusional Fan Base?

No, having standards isn't delusional. The same arguments have always existed for why Nebraska shouldn't be good. Meet the standards or you're gone. I'm old enough to remember people saying Alabama would never be good again...
Let him call us want he wants..We all know that we have hit rock bottom the past 6 years and now we’re at our lowest since Bill Jennings left..
I’ve seen my national titles I just hope the younger fans can be as unfortunate as a lot of us elderly Husker fans that were brought up during the Devaney era...
I have confidence that we can win the West more times than not it’s just taken longer than we expected under Frost...
Starts by beating Wisconsin, Northwestern, Minnesota and Ioway consistently...

I’m pretty sure Paul has an “SEC” tramp stamp, and a picture of Saban on his wall that he stares at dreamily while he gets tucked in each night.
Of course Nebraska has a rabid fanbase and that's a good thing! Fans of some other schools obviously are jealous.
Clickbait. He actually wants the Husker fan backlash. It increases clicks. What is stupid about it is that it assumes that Husker fans want the 90's back. Of course we do but that is beside the point. The larger point is that few of us expect us to be that great again anytime soon. Why? Because not even by the overall career of Osborne were the 90's the norm. From 1973 to about 1992 Nebraska was good to great, but was not a "dynasty" or an unstoppable force. We became that between 1993 and 1997, a span of five years that no other college football team not named Alabama can even touch. I would be content, as would most Huskers, if we had the kind of team and consistency we had in the 80's. I would be content with that and it is certainly doable.

Clicked on the thread to open, then saw that it relates to an article written by that goofy looking b***h. Didn't read it, don't give a F what that tool's opinion is, now exiting thread. Peace
For the most part I believe that Frost has his team headed in the right direction and beginning this year us fans should start seeing results similar to the Osborne 70s teams over the next 3 to 5 years. If he is able to accomplish those type of results then he will be further able to build on that and get the football programs success back to what it was in the early to mid nineties fairly quickly.
Always good to mow the lawn first before enjoying edibles. My cousin flipped the two, and now we call home seven-toe Steve.
I will start by saying I agree, having standards isn’t delusional, but there is also very distinct difference between delusional and attainable standards... right now the standard that was set in the 90s would be delusional for us, which is what most fans want...
I’m not saying we can’t get back to that standard, I’m saying it’s a process to get back to that. Where I see our fan base being delusional is where they think our program stands currently in national relevance, so someone that travels and see all over I have steadily seen our relevance take a dip, we are not the name we used to be, and each year further from the last NC the further we dip into the realm of irrelevancy.
Again I don’t think it’s delusional to expect a NC here, I do think it’s delusional to expect it within the next 3-5 years though, we have to start by winning and building this thing back the right way, we need stability and most of all we need development of players and we will get there again...
Finebaum can suck a big fat one.
For most of it's existence, the SEC wasn't able to win the natty -- or win jack **** -- to save it's collective ***.
Did people claim those fanbases were delusional during those generations?
I think we have to look at the success of the teams in our conference . Outside of Ohio State no other team is playing for or capable of winning a NC.
In the West , not one team is consistently a winner, you could have said Wisconsin until last year. The level of competition makes this league very difficult to consistently win.
Being competitive in every game would be a giant step forward for this team.

I hate when high expectations are mixed up with delusional. And/or why high expectations are a bad thing.
Talk to the majority and we’re off season N.C. again. With all our SR’s back and the loaded WR room it’s N.C. or bust LOL. That’s what our fan base says. His article is very accurate. I’d argue we get made fun of the most because what else do we have b
He's just upset the Huskers always went balls deep on UT when it mattered. He's a clown looking for relevancy.
We (myself included) were delusional from 2001 to 2020. I don't think there are any more delusions.
If 1993-1997 means being back then yes Nebraska will never reach that. I don’t think anyone else will either though. Nebraska was great in the 1960s-1997 because it had great coaches. It’s hard for me to believe that at some point a coach figured out how to win again. Alabama was pretty bad pre-saban and then dynasty imagine that
About 46 seconds in, you'll see Finebaum show up, or just look at the video still and guess which one is him:
After 2nd thoughts, Finebaum is delusional if he thinks the SEC doesn't pay players illegally against the rules.
I wouldn't say delusional, but perhaps retarded?
in the fact that many think throwing the bread and butter of Nebraska football:
the running game, into the dumpster
and instead thinking martinez is joe montana, and that pass happiness wins 3 out of 4 NC's
yes retarded seems more appropriate...delusional means they might see the errors of their ways and get back to reality...
thus far this has not happened. thus the retardation estimate would be more fitting.
but then there are still sharp NU fans who have seen this train wreck coming a mile away, and continue to prescribe the cure 100% accurately.

He didn’t say a word that was true. Nebraska doesn’t think this is the 90’s and Nebraska football isn’t dead and never coming back. If you think what he says is true I feel sorry for you.
These dudes want the Husker program to rollover and die so bad!! They can jab at us, poke fun, and call us what ever they want. Our program will ALWAYS have support!
Firing Frank was dumb. Bo was not fired for his record (not saying I agree but it was not due to his record)
