Give it another 5-10 years and another head coach or two, and you will finalize your transformation to being Minnesota 2.0.
Here is the most recent article I could find on the subject (from last fall):
Nebraska (BLUEBLOOD STATUS - NOT SECURE)
Nebraska is slowly slipping away like Minnesota did a few generations ago.
They truly haven't found anyone to be the worthy successor to Tom Osborne. Scott Frost went from claiming national championship glory at UCF to not being able to go to a bowl at Nebraska.
For those under 30, Nebraska football is predominantly associated with mediocrity. The last time Nebraska participated in a bowl game, the current 2024-2026 recruiters were only 8-10 years old.
Personally, I hope that Nebby fans and the media never alter their expectations of their program. Their persistent denial of their position within the current landscape of college football plays a significant role in the downfall of their program. And I love it lol.
