Debbie loses 5 players to the portal...so far

So teams are cutting players that contribute on game day? Interesting approach
Football rosters are going from 125 to 105. So yes in some cases. If your team has 3rd year players left going into 2025 who aren't in the 2-deep, your team is losing ground to everyone else.

I would hope it’s the exception rather than the rule. I would be concerned if the team I supported lost key contributors this early in the portal
 
Your year 26 coach got 8 wins. I mean, cool.
Typically, most programs are regressing rapidly when a head coach sticks around too long, so I don’t know what point you think you’re trying to make.

On top of that, your response would suggest you have an overly inflated view of Nebraska in the pecking order of college football. I mean, this is the first time since 2016 you ass clowns didn’t finish a season below .500. Congratulations on 6-6, btw. Not only that, the last time Nebraska won 10 games in a season was 12 years ago. And the last time Nebraska was a national title contender
LeBron James was in high school.

Yeah, cool.

No. I am not considering any other football team in the world except for Iowa when I say this because Iowa is the only team with this particular situation.

Nebraska has 3 regular players in the group of players who have announced their plans to transfer. And 2 of those are following our DC and DL coach to Florida State. Again, if Iowa starts the 2025 season with a bunch of 3rd & 4th year players who were not in the 2 deep in 2024, then Iowa is losing ground to all of the teams who are taking advantage of the new situation instead of fighting it. It's an idiotic situation for sure, but here we are.

You obviously don’t get it.

Imagine talking about another team’s “situation” when you’re a fan of a team who has averaged 4.25 wins the last 8 seasons and have lost 9/10 to said team. Do you really not understand how ridiculous that is?

You have to be completely delusional to believe your opinion has any merit whatsoever.

Why does Nebraska's win / loss record have anything to do with my opinion, or Iowa's situation? You're not making a lot of sense. Iowa should also end up having to cut quite a bit of fat just like every other team in the country.

The debbie site has whole thread on whittling down from 152 players. Rule has to trim 40+ players and has 20 or so coming in from recruiting. Add in a few portal guys. Should Get interesting in Lincoln.

Debbie still sucks. We own you.

Iowa has won the majority of recent games with Nebraska. True. But have you not watched the last two games with Nebraska. To say that Iowa owns Nebraska is truly delusional. Iowa is slowly sinking with no offense in sight. Nebraska is slowly rising and I give Rhule credit that he is making significant changes to make the program better. Iowa- not so much. I also see the bogus stories that Raiola is transferring. I know that would make many Hawkeye fans happy because they are envious that Nebraska has a legitimate quarterback. Iowa - not so much. I know I have to listen to the same garbage for the next year. So enjoy. The times are changing.

I've watched all of them. They beat us once in the last ten games. We own Debby.

We beat them with an offense, without an offense and with defense and without defense. We beat them with Deacon Hill. Doesn't matter, they find a way to lose to us.

Ravioli didn't make a difference. We beat you with a 4th string QB. We are envious of nothing Debbie has, including their 8 losing seasons in a row.

Debbie sucks.

Gonna get 6 1st downs next year. And likely win if Nebraska gives it away.

Iowa had a better offense than Nebby. Why do Nebraska fans keep trying to use that as a dig?
 
Iowa had 20 yards in the first half. And Iowa for the game was outgained 334 - 164. That's why. Do numbers confuse you?
Oh one game, with one 4th string qb? Ohhhhh.

As most law of averages go, the sample size is too small. You must not know numbers.

Here’s a salty one for you: Iowa’s 28 ppg not only beats Nebraska’s 23.8, but also goes against teams with a better winning percentage in their wins.

Here’s another for you: Phil Parker’s defense is designed to allow yards between the 30’s, then suffocate from there on, in hopes that a team won’t be able to sustain long enough drives + put up points. IE they’ll eventually eat their own.

That is exactly what happened. 13-10.
 
We are going to lose many more with 105 roster limit, Rhule said 30-50. Butler going to FSU probably that’s where White is going their last DC was making 2 million per year. I think Raiola staying from everything I’ve heard but you never know,also been hearing old Wisconsin DC Leonard's name as a potential replacement. You guys have avoided mass turnover from players and coaches but the whole college landscape is turning or is already at a mini NFL league. Probably best as a fan to just tune in August and see who is on the roster.
By far the most logical response from a Husker fan on this board - well worded

Keep dreaming. Nebby cannot admit they are not the Osborne era version anymore
