And all 484 are fine upstanding citizens who will be vetted for character and IQ and armed robbery and rape and beating up girlfriends at a later date.
Nebraska was also a decade removed from winning multiple National Titles when those games happened. It’s funny that you think it has to be one or the other. I guess Iowa fans would rather play it safe....get the 8 wins and the third place west finish. It will be interesting when gramps retires.He's won more than 7.5 games more than half the time and hasn't won fewer than 8 games in 5 years now. Recruting on an upswing for 4 years straight now, good depth all over the field, energetic young staff, we're in every ball game (when's the last time we got outclassed like Nebraska does several times a season?), our players don't peddle kiddie porn or get busted with weed every week like in Lincoln. There are about 100 FBS programs who'd take what we bitch about in a heartbeat.
Think something like this will EVER happen to Kirk Ferentz?
Here's a list of the teams that have been so “unfortunate” to win at least 7.5 games each season since 2015:
Alabama
Appalachian State
Boise State
Clemson
Georgia
Iowa
LSU
Memphis
Michigan
Ohio
Ohio State
Oklahoma
Stanford
Washington State
Wisconsin
A lot of the usual suspects that Iowa fans wish the Hawkeyes could be missing from this list. (Who else thinks it’s hilarious that Frank Solich’s Bobcats is on it?)
After Nebraska goes through 3 more coaches
No, we would rather win the last four games against the cornholers, and the clowns, and the goofers. Five in a year across the board in 2019.
Kirk is 3 seasons removed from going undefeated in the regular season. NE hasn't done that in how long?
Keep digging, going to be pretty embarrassing when this season falls apart again for the U of N(othing)...
I don’t think Frost is leaving any time soon. Unless you are thinking he’s going to the NFL.
Congrats...that’s done well enough to get one division title in 8 years. I guess Nebraska/Iowa St is your super bowl?
And that got him what trophy again?
I’m not sure what Nebraska’s season falling apart has to do with Ferentz mediocrity. I give him credit, the guy is simply a wizard. He just has to win 8 games and has now set up his undeserving son to handle the family business.
That’s 3 more wins than Ferentz had his first season at Iowa. And we all know Kirk is God’s gift to earth when it comes to football.
He built the program from the ground up. Let's see where Scotty is in 3 years.
Nebraska....Blue Blood program?..No don’t think so.....
Pretty simple, he has averaged 7.5 wins a year at Iowa. I guess that’s a proven winner to you but if Frost is Nebraska’s coach for 8 years and wins one West title I will be disappointed. But I also get that Iowa fans feel that 8 wins and an occasional good year is the best the program can do. I disagree.
In 20 seasons it’s the best Nebraska could do by far. You’re delusional to expect the 90’s to happen again. They won’t. Keep hiring and firing coaches, though. It’s freaking hilarious.
Nobody is expecting the 90’s again. That was an absolute dominant run. It wouldn’t have even happened had Osborne kept coaching.
But, I do believe Nebraska can expect better than winning a division title once every decade. Despite not meeting expectations for some time, I’m glad the program still has high expectations. That’s better than setting the bar at 8 wins a year and 2-3rd place division finish.
My dislike of Frost is how he comes across as an arrogant know-it-all.
You have a long, long way to go to get to those lofty expectations.
Maybe if you offer another 500 potential criminals.
Glad to see your concern about the Iowa offense (which will be fine). However, you should be more concerned about nebby’s defense.
Hey, at least Frost is trying to recruit the best of the best criminals. Ferentz is settling for the MAC like criminals. Just good enough to get him his 8 win bonus.
He’s won multiple conference championships, numerous coach of the year awards, has 5 Top 10 finishes and has coached numerous national award winners.
That’s a proven winner.
You’re a miserable dingleberry who can’t really remember seeing his team be dominant in person, if you’re even old enough to have been alive in the nineties, which I seriously doubt.
Quit living in the past. Isn’t that what Iowa fans say? The early 2000’s Kirk is not the Kirk of present day. The Kirk of present day is lucky to win the division. “Conference championships”...Iowa was not the best team in the Big Ten either of those years. In fact...Iowa has not won an outright Big Ten Title since the mid 80’s.
Oh and BTW, I was old enough to enjoy Nebraska’s title runs. And it was glorious.
When was the last time that NE won a Big 10 championship?
Going off old Big Ten rules? It would have been 2012.
Going off the new set up? The same amount of Iowa in the last 8 years.
No, you don’t get it — I’m starting to think it’s above your functional IQ.
1) Most of us love Kirk. The man, the coach, the mentor
2) We’re proud of his accomplishments, 7.5 average and all (personal, team, coaching, unit awards, bowl games, night wins at Kinnick and regularly knocking off teams in the top 10)
3) We’re proud that even as the B1G has grown stronger (and I’ve never seen a stronger group of coaches in the B1G), we’ve continued to clip along, improving our facilities, our coaching, and our schemes. And when it’d be real easy just to get comfortable and ride off into the sunset Kirk decides to push for an even better version of Hawkeye Football — the result of which have been 7, 12, 8, 8, and 9 wins.
So no. We don’t think 8 wins is the best we can do. We’re just turning it up as the competition gets tougher.
Realistically, do I think we can win out? No. REALISTICALLY that’s not very likely.
Could it? Well 2015 already told us it could.
I was wrong. Thread on its way to 25 pages. I said 5 when it launched. How do some of you exude so much energy on the anti Husker mindset. Why? Just not worth it.
Blue Blood programs have a vast home territory from which to recruit from.
Well, you’re right. I shouldn’t bother, but my boss has been an absolute jerk and I have to take it out on somebody.
My family — that would be mean and reckless.
But these Cornholes. Shoot I can shoot ten of em in a barrel in 30 seconds. And the fun part — the truth all lines up on our side.
Hope and prayer — they’ve got that covered.
But facts, stats and recent history — all on our side.
I just thank God I’m not having this argument with a Badger. It wouldn’t be near as amusing.
Just look back at the past few pages — Husker carcass all over — but they just skirt around the issues they can’t answer until somebody else drops a pile of bricks in their laps.
What can I say? I love the rivalry. I love being on top, and I love that the trajectory says that we’re going to stay on top.
Exactly how I feel when Iowa fans boast about Ferentz Big Ten “titles” when everybody knows you weren’t beating Ohio St and Michigan best you head to head.
I mean, we are nearing 35 years since Iowa’s last outright Big Ten Title. Crazy. But hey, as long as Kirk gets 8 wins.
No way Frost can make Husker fans happy and live up to their expectations but I don’t see him leaving any time soon either. He walks on water in Nebraska and the fans are more likely to learn to live with the up and down seasons on the horizon with him as coach. Plus the Nebraska job is in jeopardy of being a coaching graveyard.
You can’t tell me Nebraska’s going to fire Frost if he averages 8 wins a season. You’re lying to yourself if you think they will.
KC, you must care about it more than we do.
We’re trending. Plenty of momentum. We ride 8 win coaches for 20 years here. You fire 9 win coaches. Reap what you sow.
Kirk might win 12 games. He might win 3. But you’ll definitely be a douchebag forever. @ZJSARENOTFREE - come get your boy.
