Point is, NU has sucked for so long, for the most part. The best team they have had in 17 years is 2009. Maybe Frost can change that.This is like ranking the best looking ugly chicks I dated

The 2009 team would have stood toe to toe with Alabama in the NC game had they had a chance. They’d have shut them down. Not sure NU could have scored much though. There isn’t a better defense in college football this century.The 2009 team was playing top 10 caliber football at the end of the season. But they did have a few weird hiccup games during that season (Iowa St and Texas Tech). The close loss at VT was unfortunate, but that team had a playoff caliber defense. We were relatively weak at QB which probably held them back overall
Yes, could’ve expanded our lead. Instead, TM throws across his body to middle of the field (EZ), and OU scores three plays later, cutting our lead in half, and capturing momentumIf memory holds, didn't we throw an interception in the end zone against Oklahoma in the big 12 title game? Win that one and its Fiesta Bowl against Boise St. We all know how that game turned out...
Wrong title game. The one with TM we had a 17 to 0 lead and lost. 2006 was with Zach Taylor.Yes, could’ve expanded our lead. Instead, TM throws across his body to middle of the field (EZ), and OU scores three plays later, cutting our lead in half, and capturing momentum
That game still pisses me off. NU gift wrapped that damn game for the dirt burglars, 2010 that is. I wish NU had a better team to give them a better game this year. I’m not looking forward much to the beat down NU is likely to receive.Wrong title game. The one with TM we had a 17 to 0 lead and lost. 2006 was with Zach Taylor.

I’m kinda guessing they won’t be napping for a 50 year anniversary game. Lol. This game will get a lot of, boy, remember when this game was the biggest of the season type games? Now, look what Nebraska has become.When I saw OU on the schedule a few years back, I was stoked about where this team would be in year four with this staff. Now I'm really hoping they can make it a four quarter game.
One ray of sunshine is that OU does tend to have at least one stinker of a game a year against lessor opponents. Maybe NU can catch them napping.

I was also stoked for that, figuring by year 4, Frost would have this team in the top 10 ready to take on anyone, anywhere. Instead, it’s worse than a Riley coached team. Still damn hard to wrap my head around that.
I hope you are right. Many people around here believe this might be the best Dirt Burglar team in at least a decade, their most complete team. Nebraska will have to play well to keep from getting blown out.I've said it before that I think this team turns a corner this fall. I still believe that.
Turning a corner versus beating a Oklahoma team that I've seen ranked as high as #3 in the 2021 pre season polls are two entirely different things, unfortunately.o
I do that pretty often. I feel I continue to out do myself every attempt.This is like ranking the best looking ugly chicks I dated
Before the injury, possibly. After, no shot. Different player after.Give me the 2009 defense along with TMagic, Ameer, Kenny and Westerkamp and we win a NT.
The thing that is so frustrating is that we could have won back to back league titles in 2009 and 2010. An eye-lash from winning both. But now we sit with an ugly 22 year drought of no league titles. Ugh!!!That game still pisses me off. NU gift wrapped that damn game for the dirt burglars, 2010 that is. I wish NU had a better team to give them a better game this year.
