Guilty Pleasures

The funny thing is that Rutgers is the team that is going to want this game. Nebraska is going to dial it in. Guess what...Rutgers plays physical. What happens when Nebraska faces a team like that after a disappointing season? It's not good.

It's also clear to me that the Iowa game now matters to Nebraska and Scott Frost. They get up to play Iowa. They won't be up to play Rutgers.

Nebraska's longest conference winning streak is against...Rutgers. Four games.

Nebbie got Purdue this year, so they have a 1 game winning streak against them. Prior to that, they had lost the most recent game they had played against every single B1G West opponent.

Bad teams lose, it's what they do.

A winnable game. You're welcome.

As a Clown fan you have put a lot of moronic takes on this board. This is NOT one of those takes. Nice post, xir.

I have decades of utter loathing of Nebraska under my belt. In fact I was at the Iowa/Neb game in Lincoln when Iowa clinched the West in 2015 and stayed all the way through to the end in the bitter cold. Watching the Hawks celebrate on the field in Memorial Stadium was finer than a fresh glass of Dom Perignon.

Funny and ironic. Michigan and Nebraska are in very similar boats. Both were so desperate and put all their chips in the middle of the table and hired their "legacy" coaches or savior coaches. Both mightedly struggling with a huge question of where do they go from here and into the future.

Good stuff and entertaining indeed!! Can't make this shit up!

Its not fair to put Harbaugh in the same boat as Frost. Both inherited dumpster fires, but Harbaugh instantly made Michigan nationally relevant through his presence, his antics (trips abroad anyone?) and yes, his winning. Is he 0fer against OSU? Sure. But other than this year, he has generally won a lot of games. Hell, he was third in the country until we sent his ass packing.

Frost has done nothing. Frost is nothing. There is nothing inspiring or interesting about the guy. He is in his third season and still bitching about the culture he inherited. Whatever. And, given the schedule next year (Oklahoma, OSU, and Michigan), he will be lucky to go .500 next year. If so, four years without a winning season. You keep him because he is home grown? LOL.

Michigan would be flat stupid to push Harbaugh out the door. Flat stupid.

Hatred for Nebraska is one thing we have in common.

I've never hated Iowa State, I just hate losing to Iowa State. Nebraska is on a whole different level because of the attitude they brought to the conference and the history lessons you get every time you talk to a Nebby fan like the 90s just happened yesterday.

Of course it's fair.

The whole post was to point out how similar of situations both programs are in at this point. It wasn't to point out one's 1-2 years of success. It was to point out how administrators of both programs hired their proverbial saviors to coach and both are not performing, leaving a huge mystery for the future of both programs.

It's definitely the fans, man! They are like on their own island completely oblivious to what's happening in the landscape around them.

It used to be annoying, then it became funny, but now is just sad. There was a national talking head the other day on the radio that said he thinks they have the most delusional fan base in college football.
