Nebraska over/under 3.5 wins next year
- Thread starter OldHawkFan

I will give you Akron and Illinois, but other 5 that you mention will be upsets if you win. You guys are slowly turning into the doormat of the west along with Illinois. Why are you on this board anyway? Are you jealous of other programs in the conference, or is it just the great Hawkeyes?
And who does #2 work for? Sorry, couldn't help myself. If Frost is the HC then its his defense. He's the guy that holds ultimate responsibility if Neb keeps giving up 50 to 60 points to BIG teams.My apologies to Katie...she was a good girl, people say she didn't run around at night...
And that is a Chinander defense, an Iowa man...
In all fairness, I have no doubt that Nebraska will improve under Frost. They basically have to. The question is how much. I said when they hired Riley, that it was a terrible hire. Good guy, so polar opposite of Pelini, but Riley had never been more then mediocre in his tenure at OSU.
Happy holidays to all you Huskers. We'll look forward to your visit next Thanksgiving week......
Your schedule is tougher. (You would probably beat NIU at home, but NIU is not on your schedule.)
You may be a little more disciplined, maybe you guys won't quit in the middle of a game, maybe less turnovers, but the teams you play and WHERE you play will be too much to overcome. Does it all make sense now?
Again, Nebraska fans see improvement in W's and L's.
That is the difference. Iowa fans aren't "content" with 7-5, but we see a young team that will learn from mistakes and will make some noise next year. (I.E. Iowa's top 10 finishes and BCS games, compared to your lovely 9 wins streak).
So we are not calling to burn down the program and go hire some dude in Ames, just because he had one decent year and they finally beat a couple top 10 teams...
You better be prepared to weather some rough times with Frost,
or this spiral will continue. He himself is saying Husker expectations are unrealistic. You guys think you get a couple 4 star WRs and DBs and you'll kick everyone's ass, you've neglected the front lines and got the crap kicked out of you every week.
The glimmer of hope that I see is Frost Realizes how undeveloped and undisciplined your teams have been. But that won't be fixed in one spring.
Oh, and playing fast, spreading teams out, outscoring teams in the B1G,
and playing no defense DOESN'T work.
Give Indiana and Purdue a call.
You play October and November in NEBRASKA, not Oregon or Florida.
Should've gotten a coach that pounds the rock and plays defense.

6 to 7 wins with Frost's new run and gun offense that the rest of league will not have seen or played against.
There is talent on the Nebraska roster. They also have a lot of work to do in changing the culture and the mentality along both lines. That doesn't happen overnight. The schedule next year is brutal for Nebraska, I can see anything from 4-8 to 7-5/8-4 if everything went well.
I think Frost is a good coach and has the full backing of the administration and the Nebraska power alums, which wasn't the case for the predecessors. Wisconsin, Iowa and Nebraska will have some very good battles the next 5 years.
Rather than "interest", it's called "laughing at" the nebby program.
Yep, If you can't beat em, at least get their former players to coach em.My apologies to Katie...she was a good girl, people say she didn't run around at night...
And that is a Chinander defense, an Iowa man...
Sorry, I don't see husker wins over Purdue and Northwestern, possibly Minny as their QB situation is unsetted. However, you're f'ing crazy to think Nebraska beats Iowa or MSU next season.
What's wrong with that?
Better than being satisfied with 6 wins every season just so you can say that your team went to a bowl game.
Iowaaah fans are perfectly fine with a 6 win season
A few observations:
1) Yes, there are too many Nebraska threads and too many Iowa posters seemingly obsessed with them. Can't dispute that. Ironically, though, if Nebraska fans were so indifferent to Iowa, there would be no knowledge...err, "nowledge" of this fact in Huskerland. In short, Nebraska fans reciprocate the crush.
2) Neither program has room to brag about SOS (although Iowa's was ranked in the Top 10 for 2017). Imitation being the sincerest form of flattery, Nebraska chose to play the role of "fake ID" of college football in 2016 (well, until of course they started playing teams with a pulse). So, not exactly a valid point, Husker faithful.
3) Yes, Nebraska fans, we know. The Huskers are always the next coach away from being relevant again--why should this decade be any different than the one that preceded it?
4) Unlike previous years, we probably won't see you guys showing up here in droves in January, around National Signing Day, so I guess us Iowa fans will have to wait until April, after the Nebraska spring game, to wade through the next round of insightful commentary about the greatness that is about to be Nebraska football, as there will undoubtedly be a plethora of Heisman-caliber players the Huskers will be fielding in 2018 (as was clearly evidenced in your spring game). Rinse and repeat 2019, 2020, 2021...
5) Nebraska fans have a penchant for cherry picking statistics. If you guys really want to have an honest penis measuring contest, let's compare stats that actually matter. We'll start with since Nebraska joined the B1G in 2011.
Number of Top 25 victories: Nebraska 6, Iowa 6 EVEN
Number of Top 10 victories: Iowa 2, Nebraska 2 EVEN
Head-to-head victories: Iowa 4, Nebraska 3 Advantage IOWA
Legends/West Championships: Nebraska 1, Iowa 1 EVEN
AP Top 10 finishes: Iowa 1, Nebraska 0 Advantage IOWA
AP Top 25 finishes: Nebraska 2, Iowa 1(2015 #9) Advantage NEBRASKA
Bowl Selections: Iowa 6, Nebraska 6 EVEN
Bowl Wins: Nebraska 2, Iowa 0 Advantage Nebraska
Losing Seasons: Nebraska 2, Iowa 1 Advantage IOWA
Head Coaches: Iowa 1, Nebraska 3 Advantage IOWA
More Obsessed with the Other: Advantage NEBRASKA
More Delusional: Advantage IOWA
Message Board Moderators who are pussy snowflakes and want to keep their fan base delusional: HUGE Advantage IOWA
Lol, okay, but seriously, a couple things: One, neither team has been significantly more successful than the other this decade. Two, Iowa has been slightly better in terms of head-to-head, having a Top 10 season, and only having one losing season. Nebraska, however, has been better in terms of consistency, as far as having more 9 win seasons than Iowa. Since neither team, IMO, has bragging rights as far as SOS is concerned, what that shows is Nebraska does a better job of beating teams they should while Iowa has a penchant for losing to teams they shouldn't (i.e. MAC schools, Iowa State). Losses to teams like N. Dakota St., below .500 ISU teams, and MAC schools like Northern Illinois and Central Michigan are why Iowa has had more 7 win seasons instead of the 9 win seasons Nebraska has consistently had.
Okay, so now that that is settled, please, no more Nebraska threads.

If you think Iowa fans are perfectly fine with 6 wins/season, you obviously haven't spent much time on this board. Also, other than going 4-8 in 2012, the last time Iowa finished a season with only 6 wins was 2007.
In short, nothing you wrote was accurate.
They were only one win away from 5-7 and another possible Foster Farms Bowl invite.
This is what people are laughing about. YOU'RE not a minimum 10 win program anymore. You haven't been for a long, long time now. Nobody views you that way. It's high time Nebraska fans face their new reality, except it's not new.
I don't know which Iowa fans are "satisfied" with a 6 win season, but we also don't "flip out" if a down season happens occasionally, knowing the current landscape of college football. However, would rather go to a bowl than no bowl, as it gives younger players more practice time.
There are plenty of Iowa fans who "flip out" from game to game.
The difference is Nebraska fans still think they are entitled by birthright to greatness.
I'm under 40, so after Minnesota won their last national championship in 1960, or whenever it was, I'd be curious to know how long it took their fan base to accept the reality of Gopher football being mediocre and never again to return to their glory days.
With Nebraska fans, we are on decade number two and counting. It seems we might have a longer wait than expected. Maybe once we get into the fifth year of the "Frosty" era, and Nebraska football is still nowhere close to winning a conference title and sniffing the CFP, reality will finally set it. Maybe.
Keep assuming things. You're living up to the first three letters of the word!
Come on Husker fans, you kind of like the attention Iowa fans pay you. If there wasn't any heat between the two you know you would be irrelevent.
There can only be hate if there is a feeling. Back in the 90's you guys were despised by quite a few fans because you were constantly winning and on National T.V
Who is the two most hated teams Nationwide now? Why do casual fans hate these programs that their team doesn't play?
I'll tell you , it's because they are traditional big brands, take recruits that would start and help day one just so they can stash them away once their current crop gets drafted. They have larger than life coaches that most despise and most importantly they win and win an win. Their large fanbases are everywhere and aren't afraid to let you know where their allegiance stands (even if you don't ask or care).
A down year for them is a great year for most.
Any clue who I am talking about? You guys were that team, you could go to New York, L.A, Chicago, Miami or even London and see Husker shirts.
When you come on a Iowa board and say they are unworthy of being a rival it comes off as condescending and a bit delusional. You guys have a great history but it has been a while since you have been hated across the board like you used to.
Maybe in time we will hate you again but it's gonna be a compliment to your success.

Late Christmas Eve and you are on the Iowa board. Little brother.......were you up waiting for Santa? Did you put out the milk and cookies for the big guy?
Only if you are comparing Iowa’s 2018 record to a once mighty record from the VHS era. Everyone know the VHS era was the last time the skirts were relevant.
I've seen this post before... when Callahan was hired ... and when Pellini was hired ... and when Riley was hired ...
I chuckle hearing this yet again after a coaching change in Nebraska. There are a ton of Nebraska fans setting themselves up for disappointment.
FIFY. My correction is now an accurate statement.
BTW, has Frost walked on water yet in Lincoln, turned water into wine?
I can't wait to hear how awesome they look after the spring game.
Huge props on women's volleyball though.

Actually, I did not tell anyone what to do, I assertively asked. And you are missing the point completely, with all of the Neb threads, we portray ourselves as envious of them in some way, it makes us look like Iowa State. Have a little class dude.
