Nebraska has had 6 seasons since 1962 with less than 7 wins with two of those four being the last two years. So in over a 55 year time span they are winning 7 or more games a year around 50 times. They we’re always relevant during Osborne’s time which started before the 80 and into the 90s. Their teams in the 90s are considered some of the best all time. I believe they had two heisman trophy winners in the 90s. Granted it’s been 20 years but that is a lot more production and revelantancy than just the 80s.

Football is king in Nebraska. It’s the equivalent of Kentucky basketball here. The amount of fan support and support throughout the state is up there with any program in the country. Frost has learned the game from some of the top coaches currently and in the history of the game.

Agree or disagree with Robinson but Nebraska is one of the most historic programs in the country. Compare Frost’s offense with UK and as a player it’s not really a comparison.

Nebraska Football is no doubt historically significant. However, that being said....there is no comparing Nebraska Football with Kentucky Basketball. Nebraska's fanbase definitely rules their state much like Kentucky Basketball. But that's where the comparison's end. Nebraska football has become regionalized to a large extent. They no longer have the national significance they once had. UK has remained a national power and a true Blue Blood in basketball since it's inception. Nebraska saw it's heyday during the 60's, 70's, 80's and early 90's....but has slipped mightily on the college football scene. Slipped to the point that they're no longer mentioned with the football blue bloods. For comparison sake....Nebraska football and Indiana basketball have somewhat mirrored each other. Tom Osborne and Bobby Knight. Two Iconic coaches. Once both left....neither program has retained its status nor regained the stature it once had. Still proud programs nonetheless.

Please don't take it as a knock on Nebraska. You have to understand that many local fans on and off this board are just puzzled by the inexplicable draw of Nebraska? Have you been there? :biggrin: I have....a lot. It's ...
well....I'll leave it at that:Thumbs:
