Come on c-bach. You remember what his avatar used to be don't you?
Honestly, no. I wouldn't recognize his current one if not for the glaring oxymoron it is.

From The Power Rank
"There is no chance that Oregon is 53 points better than the average FBS team. Over the last 30 years, the 1995 Nebraska team had the largest rating at 41 points."
Wrote in the context of issuing his first computer ranking of the year after now being 4 games into the season. Oregon is unusually high but that will come down as the season progresses.
We know 95 team was the best, but it's nice to have others point it out.
Points here are just from average margin of victory, right? Not "points" in this guy's computer system? Because I believe '95 Nebraska's average margin of victory was something like 53-12 (equaling 41).
It wasn't their fault, but the 1995 team was never extended. In Norman, the 1971 team looked defeat in the face and drove for the winning score. That's why they're special to me.'95 would bitch slap '71.
While it is absolutely true, IMO, that our 1995 team was the greatest ever, unless it was the 1971 team...it is sad that we must constantly bang our chests about it for lack of recent accomplishments.
Hypothetically, let's say NU won the B1G last year and was top 10 this year. I know I would still take pride in the 1995 team, and defend them against any other challengers to the Greatest Team throne.
In other words, the current state of the program (or anybody's perception of it) has nothing to do with pride in our accomplishments and traditions.

OK, fair enough. As a fan I try to look for the positives and hope for the best.... but YOU as the self proclaimed "greatest fan of all" look for the negatives and cast doubt for any probable hope for success.
I think there is medication for what ails you.

Patience grasshopper.

Must you attack me in every thread? You seem far more possessed with me than I am with Bo. I'm flattered, but you following me around will never prevent me from spreading the word. Most are already there...the next big blowup by the Bo-ster may be his last. I'm patient. Have a nice day, perhaps you ought renew your prescription to those meds.
Even if we had recent accomplishments...we would be hard pressed to have a team that could compare to 95....that team is something to be proud of year in and year out, even if we had recent accomplishments
We could have won an MNC within the last 3 years and I would still thump my chest about 95
Sorry GFOA..... it's just sort of reflexive, like step'n on bugs.
