We simply got lucky with two great consecutive coaches, a weak *** conference, and a host of other things where the stars lined up. Living in Iowa, all the fans of both state programs here said Husker football would never be the same after TO retired and they have been absolutely correct. Right now, our best hope is to just get competitive with the likes of Iowa and Minnesota.
The sooner we realize Nebraska will never win another national championship and be a middle of the pack B1G program, the sooner we can accept our reality and move forward with appropriate expectations.
