Here's a stat that is hard to believe (oh, how the mighty have fallen -- and keep falling)

The Nebraska Cornhuskers are on the verge of missing out on going to a bowl game for the 7th year-in-a-row.
Their current record stands at 2-3 and the rest of their schedule isn't looking too promising, although the next 4 games are maybe winnable, but equally losable, as well.
Should Nebraska miss out on going to a bowl game this season, it will be their longest streak without bowling since the 1941-1955 span of going 13 years without a bowl game. Hard to fathom for such a blue blood like the 'Huskers.
ETA: Nebraska holds the NCAA record of 35-straight bowl games from 1969-2003.

They try so hard and give such a good effort. Golf clap.

Hasn't been in a while.
What 4/5 star athlete not from Nebraska wants to go play football there? It is cold and not close to anything and haven't won anything in current high school kids lives.

Being a "blue blood" has to do with a longevity of success -- you don't lose a "blue blood" status over the course of even a few years.
They still rank among the top 10 winningest programs of all time. They just haven't done a lot of it in the 2000's.

Exactly. There are 8 teams who lead CFB in nearly every statistic- until Nebraska starts falling below those 8 teams (and Georgia/Penn State are getting pretty close at this point), they're still a blue blood.

Doesn't matter. They are spending $450,000,000 to improve fan experience at the stadium.
Seems like it would be cheaper to improve the fan experiece by putting a much better product on the field itself. But hey... what do I know.

Can’t belive sankey hasn’t tried to take them in to the sec they’re about as good as all the others we’ve let in.

I’m sure all of you would disagree, but I don’t hate this setup if we have to go to 24 teams
Football - 5 Blue Bloods with Georgia and LSU knocking on the door
Basketball - 4 Blue Bloods with Florida also having some skins on the wall
Baseball - 3 Blue Bloods and a shitload of teams with at least one recent NC
That is complete domination in all 3 of the Big 3 Sports. We wouldn’t need Nebraska to get there, but it would restore one of the greatest historical rivalries out there, and it would give Nebraska a lifeline to the talent they need to get better. (Texas, and really the whole South)
Unless LSU and Arkansas move over, it’s hard to find 2 teams to fit into that pod, and I know LSU doesn’t want to move. Arkansas is probably 50/50
I’m happy staying at 16 teams.. I’m only saying IF we have to expand to 24.

The ‘Texas killed X-Y-Z conference’ can be argued to the end of time. And there are some valid points to be made by all parties.
What cannot be argued, and what I’m personally very proud of…
Texas KILLED Nebraska.

NCAA doing away with prop 48, is what killed Nebraska.

Biggest mistake they ever made was firing Frank Solich. He went 10-3 in 2003, but that wasn't good enough, they left the Nebraska family for Bill Callahan from the Oakland Raiders. Never really recovered.

There was so much more than just PROP 48. But who do you think was one of the biggest players in getting the NCAA to move on it.

Texas ruined the B12 by going 9 & 1 v. Nebraska.

They deserve all the misery they get for firing Frank Solich over a 58-19 record

Is there a reason you left Arkansas off the basketball part? Considering Arkansas has a title and more Final Fours than Florida…

We aren’t poaching any B1G team, Notre Dame is very unlikely as well…

Pelini was 67-27 at Nebraska and never won less than 9 games and they fired him too.
I bet they’d kill to go back to winning 9-10 games and their division every other year

The formula was steroids and Prop 48 super thugs.
All good things come to an end eventually.
