From 2008 to 2010, the Huskers played for two conference championships in four years in the Big 12. Lost both games.
From 2011 to 2017, the Huskers played for one conference championship. Lost that game similar to how last night went.

People around here are sick and tired. Just check out twitter, my friend - or Google "Fire Mike Riley"

Here are some of the quotes:



The one right in the middle is the most telling one.

Not criticizing in the least bit. I am a very passive browns fan and I have a pretty good idea what husker fans are going through. At the end of the day, the browns have become an amusing aside for me. Husker football won’t be down for long. Hang in there

Barrett was 27/33. Campbell predictably stone-handed one, and I remember a couple smart throw-aways. A couple shots deep didn't connect, but a couple did, and they're drawing PI calls on the misses at about a 75% rate. For the most part, JTB hit guys on-time, in-stride, with room to pickup YAC. He was decisive on the read-option, and Nebraska had absolutely no answer. Color commentator Joel Klatt, a former QB, was gushing about it being a 'perfect game,' and brought up the comparison that this was starting to look like Kevin Wilson's 2008 Oklahoma offense with Sam Bradford and DeMarco Murray. I mean, Gus went full Dennis Miller and dropped an Artie Fiedler reference, if that tells you anything.

Easily Barrett's most complete game since 2014 Sparty.

That's pretty much the most articulate description of his reference as could be constructed.

Or, said another way: QFT

It was 35 - 0 in the first half. Give Gus a break.
Everybody likes watching baby seals get clubbed for about all of 5 minutes, then the excitement just fades away.

Do you even 59-0 brah? He was a bigger tOSU fanboy that night than half of Buckeye Nation. It was especially glorious knowing he's from that God forsaken state.

My favorite is when Vonn picked off the Wisconsin QB and Gus says: “Give it here. And don’t say NOTHING!”

That was good. And for sentimental reasons "Blood Thirsty!" Will probably be my favorite from that game...

But, you have to admit, "You’ve got barbecue back there and you didn’t invite me? Hurt.my.feelings." may be the call by which all others will be judged.

I rather enjoyed what happened last night.

A lot of us Buckeye fans felt this way during the John Cooper years. Cooper did a lot of good things for the program (national recruiting, being "relevant" nationally, a pair of #2 finishes in the polls, beating Notre Dame twice), but his failure to beat Michigan (2-10-1) or win bowl games (3-8) turned the fan base against him early and he was never able to overcome that.

After the loss to Michigan State at home in 1998 (a 28-point dog), many fans gave up on Coop and rooted for him to lose and get fired so that the program could wipe the slate clean and rebuild. I reached my personal breaking point right before the 2001 Outback Bowl when WR Reggie Germany was declared ineligible with a Blutarskian 0.0 GPA, and I openly rooted for my beloved Buckeyes to lose. They did (24-7), we hired Jim Tressel, and the rest is history: 106 wins, 22 losses, .828 winning percentage, 7 Big Ten championships, and a national title. May you have a similar result (without the Big Ten championships, of course - those belong to us!).

Wow, you were quite forgiving. I was done with Cooper ever since the 1990 season where a team with Robert Smith, Raymont Harris, Alonzo Spellman, Steve Tovar, Vinnie Clark, Jeff Graham, Bobby Olive, etc....lost to Michigan in Ohio Stadium and then lost to Air Force in the "Bowl" game! Ah, memories.
