The best 0-6 team ever?

I prefer to call us the best 10 game losers.
But to each his own.
But to each his own.
Trying think of some other 0-6 teams to compare. Can’t recall many teams accomplishing such a feat. It could be true. 0-6 is rarified air indeed.
That's pretty funny. Better learn to play some defense. But I wouldn't be all that worried, you guys are soooo close to breaking through..........
Definitely the best 0-6 team this year. In the Big Ten.
Hey Spider, hypothetically speaking, would Nebber still be the best 0-6 B1G team if Rut hadn’t snuck out that early season win?
Not too many college head coaches have had back-to-back perfect seasons. Frost may be on his way. Only 6 games to go!
You know, I’m lousy at hypotheticals, but that’s a great question—who has the better football program, Rutgers or Nebby? It’s too bad Rutgers isn’t in the West or Nebby in the East so they could settle it on the field every single year.
I hope so bad that they lose to Bethune-Cookman.
Certainly the best 0-6 team in Nebraska history.
That would bring me great joy on a football Saturday.
kNebby is the ONLY P5 team without a win. I guess I must be dreaming.
And then to see a dozen or so hard cores decked out in red applauding B-C as they leave the field victorious—priceless...
They don’t look any better than other 0-6 teams in recent history.
Had a buddy say, they’re getting better every week. I told him, so are the good teams. I thought, almost, he about got it, but he didn’t. What to do?
Watching Rut & Nebber play should be an alternative to doing time in prison.
I take no pleasure in seeing any team go winless; I believe everyone deserves their day to stand tall. While I may be a fan of a rival team, I am proud to be first and foremost a good sportsman.
I think Nebraska has the right coach, and they are in the midst of weeding out the wrong players as they search for the right ones, the ones who belong on the team. They will get it turned around.
It's got to be hard on the kids; football is such a tremendous investment of time, energy, and life, so for the kids who stay on throughout all the uncertainty, the sacrifices they make are made for the team, because they believe in each other, and their coach and his vision for the future. I feel for them, since we went through something similar in 1999. But ya know what? The kids who stayed have heart, and that's something you can't teach.
Seasons like that can have a lasting benefit for those who experience them. They offer unique opportunities to gain perspective looking forward, and in later years, as we look back. Though some teams and their fans are fortunate enough to be located in advantageous regions where talent seems to grow on trees, they may never experience the full gamut of rising from down in the dumps, all the way to cloud nine. And in a way, I can't help but feel sad for them; to receive the full satisfaction for great success, and to truly relish the joy that accompanies it, you must first have experienced the heartbreak of the growing pains that come with a fresh start, so that you can fully appreciate how far they've come.
A one-win season was no fun, but I have tremendous respect for the men who stayed with it and believed in our coach. They were the foundation for what Kirk Ferentz would go on to build here at Iowa, and for that I have the greatest respect for those young men. They are the living embodiment of what it means to be a Hawkeye.
So good luck going forward, but I still hope we beat ya!

A very good post, and most here would agree. Of course all of the poking at Nebs misfortune is brought on by the total douche baggery of their fans when they visit this site, and for those Hawk fans unfortunate enough to live in areas where they must interact daily with the delusional cornhusker faithful.I take no pleasure in seeing any team go winless; I believe everyone deserves their day to stand tall.

I hope Nebraska goes winless and never finishes the "weeding out" process. Now, go get prepped for a week resulting in an 0-7 record. Please.I take no pleasure in seeing any team go winless; I believe everyone deserves their day to stand tall.

Bethune and Illinois are the only likely wins and whats worse is they will tell us the corner is turned!!
Like you, I feel badly for the players, and agree that they'll get things turned around (assuming they improve their defense). I must admit to some schadenfreude, though, with how their season has gone thus far.I take no pleasure in seeing any team go winless; I believe everyone deserves their day to stand tall.

I thought it was funny that they're coached it up there and look like he was almost crying saying that everything that possibly could have happened bad for their team happened. Fact of the matter is they just don't have a very good team this year. I'm sure they'll be better by the end of the season and we won't have an easy game but like they say you are what your record says and you are knowing 6 lousy football team right now
Sadly, they get more pub/highlights for being 0-6 than we do for being 5-1
The way Frost has thrown his predecessor under the bus at every opportunity makes me wonder how many wins Mike Riley would have right now. More than 0 is my estimation.
Well, Nebraska maybe 0-6, but those loses have ONLY been by a total of 90 points... you must remember, football is a game of inches!
