When will Nebby ever admit or acknowledge that they are down with the Iowa, Wisky, Minny level. they don't seem to know they have a recruiting disadvantage in Nebraska similar to many schools in the midwest.

Stupidest hire ever.

Nebby cant stockpile 70 walk ons like they used to and build them up so they are ready to play their junior and senior years

This. God This. When you can have 100 walkons... and take the best....

This is a huge advantage Nebby had...it's gone now.

With every passing year their hardware has about as much luster as Minnysoda's natties.

Nettie will flounder around in the BIG. Expect seasons of 5 or 6 losses going forward. Each year! The stadium they adore will be 60% full.

Walkons with talent will be in Iowa City. They really belong in little 12 conference. Texas! LOL

This hiring was completely baffling. The whole thing made no sense and still doesn't.

For those dumping on the hire...SHHHH!

Mike Riley is a fine man. He needs time to bring the program around. Like 8 or 9 years. Give him time....PLEASE!

The only reason it made any sense was that it was the complete opposite of Bo.

Mr Temper vs. Mr Nice guy

This. No other reason to hire him other than Riley being the ant-Bo. Certainly not the big splash hire many over there think they deserve.
