Lincoln is not the hellscape people on here pretend it to be. It's a college town, like lots of other college towns. It's just across the border from IA and MO and a short trip down the highway from Omaha. Good lord....


It is an hour+ away from a decent airport.

It is a large town, but not demographically or culturally in line with most national recruits. And, they can't sustain winning football with instate or local regional talent

The winters are brutal and start early and stay late. The arid summers aren't much better and the strong steady winds make both seasons worse.

Nebraska's blue blood advantage dried up about the same time the NCAA decided to grow teeth on enforcement in the late 90s/early 00s. Not surprising the team took a steady shite since then.

No one wants to winter in NE.

That said, they have a strong base and NIL and transfers may work to their advantage of the program gets ahead of it and maximizes the potential.

Saban would absolutely play it well there and grow a winning team, compared to what is there now

If you can get a 5 star black kid from Illinois to play in Oxford Mississippi, you can get kids to Lincoln. You guys are delusional.

No one wants to go to the state of Wisconsin, Iowa, or Minnesota and yet programs in those states have done better than Nebraska the last decade so there goes that.

And demographics of the surrounding area mean nothing to recruits as long as there are plenty of fine white bitches on campus.
