Again, as said above... times ... they have changed. During Nebraska's hay day, they had the prime time games most of the time.. .while others were not on tv. Between that and those grain fed big boys, yeah... they had it, along with coaching.
The media made Nebraska as well. Look, we can get to a point of competing once again. Perino did it, Holtz did it, Nutt did to a lesser extent. Bryoles, Hatfield.... again though, in the SEC against national brands, it will always be difficult.
How does it change? With somewhat better recruiting especially on the lines,... Better coaching, and I think we will have that in time with CSP learning a bit. And stacking our Red SHirt program, walkons etc.

National brands in any conference go through up and down cycles. They can all compete at al high level for a while but at one point a coaching change is made because the fans get bored. Then if the wrong coach is hired, the program goes into a decline and the rest of the schools don't make changes or do upgrades.
It is was what happened to us in the late 80s, early 90s when razorback fans got bored of Hatfield and started complaining. Then he left and Jack Crowe took his place. So we went from a college hall of fame coach in Broyles to Jack Crowe who would be fired after losing to the Citadel.
Then we kept making the wrong hires inluding the Nutt and didn't attempt to get better until Petrino was hired. That didn't last long and we went back to the I don't care hires until Sam was hired.
