As most of you know my disdain for the Nebraska Media here in Southwest Iowa is well documented. I do however respect the tradition that is Nebraska football. I would like to get some opinions on what folks honestly think about their current state. The recruiting landscape has changed dramatically since their run in the 90's. Teams have went in to Lincoln recently and actually won. Their record against rated teams in NOT what it use to be with the Good Dr. coaching. Bo is a great defensive coach...I think the jury is still out on his head coaching. He is short fused, very hard on his players, hard on his coaches, hard on officials and sometimes just loses it on the field. These are not good traits to have as a head coach. You really need to be somewhat reserved and able to watch the big picture. I am all for some great fire in your head guy but F bombs all over TV does not help him coach. Their offense has really struggled under Watson and Bo...except for the bowl game against an Arizona team that mailed it in. I for one love their tradition coming into the league, I also like the fact we Iowa fans get to settle the discussions on the field now. However, all I hear over here is they are immediately the best team in the conference...they are going to immediately play OSU, PSU, Michigan and what great rivalries they will be. They think Iowa, Wisconsin and other teams are not even close to their talent pool and can't compete with them. I guess time will tell but just wondered what the board was thinking.
