You conspiracy theorist Husker fans are exhausting. In 12 years of watching us in this league, the only thing I have seen is ****** coaching, our team sucking, and our administration making the most asinine decisions. You guys need to find a new pastime, other than blaming this league for how inept our athletic department has been.
So much this.
"The BIG sucks. We need to go somewhere else that doesn't suck" is tired and backwards.
So, we can't win in the BIG and the cure for that is moving to a league with "better" competition? Really?
The cure to our issues is within our control. Getting a coach in here that knows his *** from a hole in the ground for the first time in 20 years, and then giving him the things he needs to have in order to win football games is within Nebraska's locus of control. We aren't required to blow off our head every few years with ridiculous decisions. That's not a BIG by-law. We have done that to ourselves.
Our success is within our control. Not PSU's. Not Michigan's. Ours. Pissing and moaning about the conference holding us down is the exact loser mentality that got us to 4 win seasons in the first place.
The BIG didn't bring Nebraska in hoping to make us suck. We did that to ourselves. And it's up to us to get out of that hole. Not a magical conference switch.
It's in the BIG's interest for us not to suck. Money makes this league go, and a resurgent Nebraska generates $$$$. That's why we are here instead of Missouri or Colorado.
