Nebraska looks tragically bad...I mean, congrats Illinois and all, but the Huskers looked about as shitty as I can imagine. They need some serious changes.

They're awful. I live in Corn country and they really are great fans. You go out on a Saturday in the fall here and everyone is wearing Huskers gear. Very friendly, too; I've been wished "good luck" ahead of big games countless times when I'm out in Buckeye gear. The cold reality that their program will never again approach the heights they experienced up through the turn of the millennium seems to be setting in. Instead of anger on blogs, message boards and comments sections, there seems to be more silent resignation. Though, local news sources/writers have begun openly writing it's time for a change. It's such a stark contrast from the excitement when they hired him. Their ceiling now is Iowa and that's gonna take some serious work.
It certainly wasn't just him, but he had some really bad moments...taking bad sacks, fumbling, missing open receivers multiple times. I watched the whole game and I was astonished at how poorly coached they are across the board. Scott Frost's goose is cooked. The only question now is which loss they fire him after. I'm not sure he makes it to December.

Agreed. So many signs of being poorly coached.
Truly sad to see that Martinez seems to have made zero progress as a passer since arriving in Lincoln

My son looked up Martinez’s turnover stats, and it’s something like 20 ints and 20 fumbles in 27 games. Those are coach killing numbers right there.

I hear you, the Corn fans share the same sports bar as the Ohio State alumni group where I go and they are all really nice people. I wasn't there today, but I can't imagine it was pretty. But I give them credit because they show up even when the results aren't there.
They HAVE to make a coaching change and I wouldn't be against it happening now if I was a Nebraska fan. The coaching was just unbelievably bad, I think there is some talent on the team but they are just running around in circles.

It’s gonna make that ass pounding Ped State gave them in 2002 look enjoyable by comparison for Corn fans

Watching the Southern Utah/San Jose St game on CBSSN (because I have issues) and during the halftime studio show, Rick Neuheisel named TreVeyon Henderson his breakout player of the year, because “a lot of little birdies” are telling him Henderson is a special back.

I didn't see their game today but it's shocking to me to hear Frost might be on the hot seat since he is a direct link to Tom Osbourne and because of his undeniable success at CFU. I remember the first Cornhusker drive in his first game against the Buckeyes. The scheme was Osbourne style option, they marched down the field with ease and the crowd was obviously enthralled to see that style resurrected and have success. But the first pass attempt on that drive was in the red zone and it got intercepted, lol. The Osbourne offensive scheme was not seen the rest of the game, iirc.
I wonder what the difference is. Did Osbourne win his championships with 3-star recruits or 4 and 5, and now they can't get elite guys because they think they won't get to the NFL after playing in Neb?

Osbourne won because of (alleged) rampant steroid use and a Prop-48 walk on program that allowed him to suit up 150 players every Saturday.
Also Oklahoma sucked for large stretches of 89-99 post Switzer. Their title under Stoops in 2000 really came out of nowhere.

In 1996, the in-state tuition cost for a Nebraska resident walk on was $3,000.
That is fucking unfathomable today.
