This hurts, probably true but at this point in the season we used to be speculating whether we would end up in a position to compete for the NC:

"Up next? Just Ohio State, Wisconsin and Iowa, three teams Nebraska has barely sniffed since joining the conference a decade ago. At this point, the program has much more in common with Vanderbilt and Kansas than with the upper echelon of the Power Five."

It only hurts for the folks here that never travel past the state line and think Husker football is respected. They still debate if we are a blue blood and if the sellout streak real while while the rest of the country sees us as the above description.

This is all fixable

Why are you ashamed that Nebraska is a blue blood? We absolutely suck right now and no one inside the state will disagree with that. But that doesn’t take away Nebraska’s respect in the college football world overall.

Blue blood status isn’t dependent on the last 20 years… it’s the last 70 years. We may lose out if things continue this way, but we haven’t yet.

Like Yale, but without the academics?

I’m not ashamed of it - it’s simply a nothing-burger.

The Husker program and history is still respected. The current team, not so much. The simple fact they are still writing about NU means something. You don't hear pundits saying "what is going on at Kansas?".

If things don't change and change soon we will become Kansas or Vanderbilt. But not quite yet.

I posted this comment on the Harvard board. Man, they have some sick burns about Yale academics!

And when we seventy year olds die off no one will know or care what a blue blood is.
