I explained why I thought your team is where it is today - it was a detailed, factual, substantive post. And I asked for you Nebraska fans to comment and tell me what you thought. You know, what people do on sports boards. Instead of responding, and I wouldn't care if you disagreed or not, you just babble on like a teenage girl. You Nebraska fans are disappointing me, and I happen to like your school and team.
You say educate myself before making up random stuff ... for fuck sakes, here is my post:
I'd love to hear the NE fans tell us how they think they can get back to some level of greatness. Here is why they are where they are, IMO:
1. No recruits alive today has any idea that Nebraska was ever great. It's been that long.
2. The best and most big uglies are in the south and staying in the south. How does NE come to GA/FL/LA/AL/TX and convince some of these kids to come to the middle of nowhere and play football when they can stay in the south and play for LSU, Bama, UGA, Clemson, and all the other really good southern schools.
3. CA as a recruiting bed has shrunk ... less and less kids in CA are playing football due to demographic issues - latinos and asians don't play football as much, and CA population has grown incredibly with latin and asians.
4. They are in the B1G and haven't competed with the big teams in the B1G, so recruits are more likely to go to B1GE teams and Wisky, and Iowa kids staying home.
Like I think college football is better when the PAC is good, it's better when teams like NE, FSU, Miami, UT - traditional powers - are good. You have fantastic fans. I'd love to see you really get back to greatness and challenge tOSU.
How is any of that random BS? To the contrary I made some very specific points backed by facts. I see how that might confuse someone who is just here to troll. One of the good Nebraska fans actually responded to each point, made some good points. That's the engagement I look for here ... maybe you have time to waste trolling people, I don't.
