Nebraska and Texas
- Thread starter phoenix4nu
- Start date
I’d like to see the ROI numbers, $$’s spent on facilities, coaches salaries, overall athletic department spending vs revenue/donations. I’m guessing the Whorns raise more money as well as spend it 2 to 1 when compared to NU.
texas can recruit that’s for sure. They’ll need it in the SEC. Then again maybe Texas high school football is overrated.
Over the last 4 years:
texas has had a winning record 3 of the last 4 to our none
Texas has finished in the top 3 in their conference 3 of the last 4 years - we haven’t finished in the top 3 of our division
Texas has gone to 3 bowl games - including the Sugar Bowl - and won them all - we haven’t gone to any bowl
Texas has finished the season ranked in the AP poll 3 of the last 4 seasons including a top 10 finish - we didn’t finish in the top 10 in the conference last year
Huskers and Whorns are pretty close on this metric as well.

Fact: Nebraska has more National Titles in football than both Texas and Ioway put together…
Now take a Long Hike..
Texas and all their 4 stars and 5 stars lost to a David Beaty coached Kansas team.
Doesn’t get any worse than that.
Doesn’t get any worse than that.
If Pelini's record hadn't propped us up for 5 years after that period, this list would look a lot worse.
Yeah, I'm not accepting Bo Pelini results just because Scott Frost sucked even worse.
Funny that in the last 50 years, the whole state of Texas has only one NC in D-1 football. Laughing
Let me guess you think the right coach is going to have us 60-3 over 5 years soon..lol
Its amazing people can't see the change in college football.
This type of thinking is why we are where are now.
I bet winning the conference and playing in the NC was a terrible performance by the program.

When did Bo have Nebraska winning a conference and playing for the national title?
Frank Solich did. And the same crap was being said.
Bo was just playing for conference championships.
We will never win like we used to for 30 years straight. The ridiculous standards we have is why we are a losing program now.
Don't know if you guys noticed Northern teams arent winning jk sht in college football on the NC level.
They aren't even really close.

It's normal for Texass! If you go back and look at their history you'll find that they have a few good years at a time and then disappear into mediocrity for decades so this is no surprise.

We need to get to where we're winning the division every fairly often and finishing in the top 15 regularly then let the chips fall where they may from there.
L.O.L...as long as you are willing to claim a NC that some newswriter from Ithaca, NY awarded you in the 30s, I suppose you are correct. I prefer to talk about national championships that were earned after the platoon env and segregated teams ended. You sound like a Michigan fan with their multiple "National Championships" awarded in the 1920s from the Ann Arbor Herald-Tribune....
And Nebraska hasn’t won a national championship in over a generation. So the “how many national championships do you have“ sounds just as stupid from a Nebraska fan as some goat roper from Minnesota bragging about theirs. I have included some 1997 nostalgia to help remember the “good ole days”.
Pretty pathetic come back from you..
Leather helmets and one platoon football and never won a Rose bowl game claiming one..
Nebraska 908 wins Minnesota 718 wins.
Agreed.. But it‘s better to have a past where you can be proud of success, than a past of no major accomplishment’s like some of our Ioway trolls creating new names claiming being our fans..
