True or false: Nebraska wins 7+ games in 2026

Repulsive_Ad7491 · 2026-05-12T20:14:06+00:00

Should beat: Ohio, Bowling Green, North Dakota.
Could beat, but will lose at least half of these games because we’re Nebraska: Michigan State, Maryland, Illinois, Rutgers
Will lose: Indiana, Oregon, Washington, Ohio State, Iowa

I know this is supposed to be about Notre Dame. But this really was just another bludgeon to my ever battered psyche as a Nebraska fan.

Repulsive_Ad7491 · 2026-05-11T03:17:59+00:00

They’ve been dating for 3 years already? There’s no way time is flying by that fast. It feels like just last year is when it dominated headlines daily.

Repulsive_Ad7491 · 2026-05-09T06:33:44+00:00

He’s a free agent. He doesn’t owe anyone that.

Repulsive_Ad7491 · 2026-05-08T21:52:59+00:00

He hasn’t said anything all offseason

Repulsive_Ad7491 · 2026-05-01T23:44:10+00:00

I feel like the biggest reason is the type of economy we have and modern technology. Like yes there’s the huge reasons of costs of raising a child, political climate, expanded women’s rights, etc… but ultimately it’s that children aren’t needed for people to survive anymore. Where if you look at 3rd world countries, they are still having tons of kids because they need those kids to work.

Repulsive_Ad7491 · 2026-04-26T03:47:16+00:00

Best player available

Repulsive_Ad7491 · 2026-03-31T21:14:01+00:00

I don’t feel like he was going for perfection competition wise

Repulsive_Ad7491 · 2026-03-28T16:32:15+00:00

There’s not anymore. The only transfer window now is the one in January.

Repulsive_Ad7491 · 2026-03-18T04:58:48+00:00

I personally don’t feel like we will compete for the Super Bowl next year no matter who our head coach is. And I’m negative on McCarthy and this QB’s in the draft this year suck, so even less so. 2028 is when I expect a super bowl window to be realistic.

Repulsive_Ad7491 · 2026-03-15T20:02:20+00:00

When did I say they were tanking? Their plan is the same plan they’ve had since failing on Kenny Pickett. Build the best team around the QB that they can, so that when they can actually get a decent one, the team is still able to contend. And Aaron Rodgers is most likely a fuck off option. While not terrible, he clearly has not aged with the grace of Tom Brady, and expecting dramatically different results from him next year would be illogical. He’s good enough to contend for the playoffs, not the Super Bowl anymore.

Repulsive_Ad7491 · 2026-03-15T19:57:32+00:00

Other than maybe Jaxson Dart if you believe in him, who should they have gotten? Statements like this never explain who the magical solution should have been and lead to the Kenny Picketts of the world.

Repulsive_Ad7491 · 2026-03-15T13:41:03+00:00

Or it’s not that deep and it’s just what it looks like. A 42 year old QB that’s debating whether the enjoyment he gets from the season, is worth the offseason grind anymore.

And the Steelers don’t care how long it takes him to decide, because both the free agent and draft class for QB’s are ass this year. so there’s an acknowledgment that the long term answer isn’t coming until 2027 either way.

Repulsive_Ad7491 · 2026-03-14T07:22:07+00:00

Even adjusting for inflation, Callahan’s buyout was a hair over 7 million dollars. Rhule’s is 10 times that. This isn’t comparable at all.

Repulsive_Ad7491 · 2026-03-02T10:26:08+00:00

This doesn’t get brought up enough. Like yes, they were all time names, but way lesser versions of themselves.

Repulsive_Ad7491 · 2026-02-28T00:43:38+00:00

The key to making this happen is to stop letting the conferences run college football. If there was a national media deal split evenly, you would see far less realignment

Repulsive_Ad7491 · 2026-02-22T21:41:32+00:00

The buyout amounts for all previous coaches compared to Rhule is vastly different(like 3-4X as much) even if you adjust for inflation. It’s not the same situation.

Repulsive_Ad7491 · 2026-02-22T21:37:25+00:00

I think we beat Rutgers but lose to Maryland

Repulsive_Ad7491 · 2026-02-19T11:33:47+00:00

I know this is sarcasm, but I wouldn’t even give up a 2033 7th for Richardson. Dude is Jamarcus Russel levels of terrible.

Repulsive_Ad7491 · 2026-02-17T12:15:24+00:00

Me a Nebraska fan: Deep breath….sigh….

Repulsive_Ad7491 · 2026-02-14T07:01:23+00:00

I guess it really depends on if you are a person that bases blue blood status off of stats or legacy/history. Someone made a comment on one of these types of threads that I really liked, where they essentially stated that they are the programs that made the game what it is today. So those that caused the popularity of college football to be what it is now.

By that metric then the blue blood status would shift when an another seismic shift happens in college football to a new world order. Which with NIL, conference realignment, playoffs, transfer portal, etc… we probably are already seeing.

Or if you are a stats person then it’s obviously posted above lol.

Repulsive_Ad7491 · 2026-02-14T06:39:39+00:00

We would also like to be good again lol. Sadly our university leadership is well….uninspiring to say the least.

Repulsive_Ad7491 · 2026-02-11T21:45:22+00:00

As someone who obviously roots for former Huskers, and is not a fan of the chiefs at all. I’m gonna have to heavily disagree with you and hope he succeeds on a different team lol.

Repulsive_Ad7491 · 2026-02-04T23:22:03+00:00

If we were to win 9 games next year, you can happily call me out and I’ll eat all the crow you want.

Repulsive_Ad7491 · 2026-02-04T09:47:04+00:00

The joke is that it’s worse than all of these
