our fanbase sure is infected with crybaby bitches
So you ***** about the bitches? What else should we talk about? The team? You guys forget big money sports are entertainment enterprises first and foremost, otherwise they will fail to exist. These are not supposed to be charities, or a place for us to celebrate the disabled and unfortunate. College football is an outlet for extreme competition. UNL is an alma mater, home school, Lincoln is a home city for many fans...the team is embarrassing...I would love to be wrong, as I have said for the last four years...I just have been continually right, except for weak moments of optimism.

True. I've mentioned this before in other posts, but he's not a winner. His record clearly shows this, especially his record vs ranked teams. I'm not sure you'll find many power 5 coaches with a worse record that Matt's 2-25 (.074) career record vs ranked teams. Seriously, from what I can find, Maryland's HC is the only one who has a worse record (2-30). That's it. Of all the power 5 schools, we have the 2nd worst one (though really, is it that much of a difference?).

That's both sobering and frustrating. Maybe it's a good thing that Trev moved on, if this is the best he could do.
I think the worst about Rhule...beyond his scamming and incompetence, is that even at his best, his strategy for winning at Temple and Baylor would not work in the game today. It really isn't his fault...he had a very clear pattern and strategy at his two "successful" stops. Crash-out the roster, rely heavily on young players, build experience, cohesiveness with a staff of coaches that he trusted, and then turn it around as the freshman turned into upper classman. He never had a chance here because any young player who built up a resume would be a danger of transferring, and he had no desire or experience in bringing in veteran players and building culture overnight, especially with full grown men who are likely to see through ********. Keeping "loyal" coaches was also a risk because he didn't have a full roster of buddies, he had to rely on kids of buddies, had to bring in some "outsiders" like Tony who stood up to him...and our three best coaches have long since left.

So lets talk football. Why do you think we will beat Illinois or Washington to make this a worthwhile season? Illinois isn't bringing back much but Bielema will run the ball down our throats and it is a road game. Washington was dramatically better than us last year...won 9 games and they return a ton of talent and have a better coach. It is a home game so I wouldn't call it a toss up but we have maybe a 40% chance to win. That means we have to be perfect to beat the bad teams...Ohio, Michigan State, Rutgers, Maryland...and we have to pretty much have an upset to get to 7 wins. If we have any slip ups...especially that Michigan State road game, or Rutgers late in the season...this is going to be a five win season. Thoughts?
