First of all, had we not given them Bob Devaney, where would they be? And where would we be? They had 2 winning seasons in 2 decades before we gave them Devaney. Secondly, this team just ran away from Texas. I rooted for Nebraska in the 90's. But then they fired Solich, Hired Callahan, and ended up running away from Texas. I now see them as cowards. There is no spinning or sugarcoating or making excuses. They couldn't compete with Texas. So they simply ran away like big babies. I recall Nebraska saying we refuse to watch the Big 12 tilt towards Texas and Oklahoma. The big 12 north was becoming a joke. Everyone I talked to (down here in Oklahoma) said the MWC was stronger than the Big12 north. The sad thing is no one in Oklahoma has thought much of Nebraska football in over a decade. This includes OSU fans. It's all about Texas and OU nowadays.
So why is Nebraska on such a high horse?
This is Nebraska that was lucky to beat Washington last week (thx refs), struggled against Fresno St the week before, barely beat South Dakota State Jackrabbits last year, and allowed mighty colorado to dump 65 on them a few years ago. And you still hear them talk about the "blackshirts" lol. This is Nebraska that is 72-51 since like 2000. I don't think Wyoming has the recruits to beat them yet, but rest assured Wisconsin will run over them the following week. What exactly has Nebraska done in the last 15 years besides runaway from Texas for the fans to act this way? From 1975 to Present Nebraska beat Texas...wait for it..... 1 time ? Maybe running away was a good idea.
