It’s one of many reasons why I never talk down to other fan bases.
Is God punishing Nebraska football fans? Yes, I am seriously asking.

I think it’s payback for the crypt keeper Osbourne selling his soul for the success of the 80s and 90s in return for the pain and misery they are receiving in the 21st century.
imagine being a fan of them and you’re under 40.

The devil always gets his dues.
Nebraska Football's quarter century downturn is a great enough story all on its own. No need to bring mythology into it. 
They deserve every bit of misery. Speaking for all Western Iowa and Omaha Hawkeye fans ...they can't lose enough
Their media and fans are the absolute worst. Their best season is the off-season - talk about how great their recruiting classes are. They still talk down to us by referencing the 90s. They do fake **** (like the sellout streak) to try and stay relevant. Even pull the "best 3 win or 5 win team in the country". They only beat themselves, etc.
Even if they win just 2 games in a row they act like they are back to 90s glory. If you give them an inch....they take a mile. Completely delusional
Every year it's something different....Scott Frost will win them a NC, Dana H will finally turn the offense around, Martinez and baby Mahomes will win the heisman. Every year they have a new story
So when they lose ...it's just hilarious
they deserve every second of the last 20 years

All my coworkers are husker fans and October is the best month bc its when they want to stop talking about football.They deserve every bit of misery. Speaking for all Western Iowa and Omaha Hawkeye fans ...they can't lose enough

They've already taken off their husker jerseys and put on their Mahomes jerseys.
The wheels fell off Debbie's trike twenty years ago. Now they just try to pedal and keep falling over.
All I'm at liberty to answer at this time is.........yes.
No. But if it means they’ll keep floundering around trying to recreate a history none of their players were even alive for rather than reinventing themselves, then sure.
I like beating them and seeing them lose like most here but let's be honest... if Iowa went on a few seasons run and like they did from 93 -97, we would all take that... that is holy grail dominance!
I'm originally from NE Iowa and then taught for a year even closer to Wisconsin...
I still hated Nebraska more. I heard more chirping from Minnesota but that's easy to ignore.
It’s been almost 30 years since Nebraska was relevant in football. I’ve said it before, but it reminds me of when I was a kid in the 80s and 90s. My dad would talk about how good Minnesota football was back in the 50s and 60s when he was growing up. Not one f@&$ was given by me. I’d imagine people under 30 feel the same today when dad or grandpa tell stories of Nebraska greatness from yesteryear and roll out the old VCR machine.
Everybody else hates Nebraska. Why should God be any different? 
Nebraska was a pioneer in performance enhancing drugs during Osborne's tenure.
Nebby = Cowboys
it’s been 30 years since either was relevant

They support the team but they don’t talk about it. Most they’ll say about volleyball is mentioning they have tickets.
I always said Osborne sold his soul to the devil to get those championships.
The boys on HuskerMax are trying to convince themselves that Urban Meyer would take the opportunity to bring Nebraska back to the heights. Ketamine must be over-the-counter in Nebraska.
It's been said a few thousand times before, but Nowledge U fans are delusional.
Osbourne and Switzer were both dirty, cheating coaches who loaded their rosters with felons.... I lost some respect for Stoops when he gushed over Switzer's legacy at a presser when he took over at Okie.
I doubt they can afford him. You got a $63
Million buyout and you have to convince a 63 year old coach to leave his cushy desk job to not only coach for the first time since before NIL, but completely rebuild a program?
They’re better off hiring the best G5 coach they can get.
If I was a booster, I would be very upset with my ROI.
I would rather have Minnesota’s dominance from 1934-1941. They won 5 nattys.
Just as relevant to today as 1993-1997. I mean, anyone in college during that mini Nebraska run probably has grandkids today.
If you don't believe in God, why ask if he is punishing the Huskers? My belief is that football is way down the pecking order in level of importance. Certainly with all the issues in the world.
God is a Packer fan.
Jesus is a Hawkeye fan.
Moses is a Husker fan, he was around when they were good...
