Will they ever recover?

>Michigan
lol

>michigan
>ignoring the past 12 years of mediocrity

Can probably get back to the level of Wisconsin. Probably won't ever compete perennially for the national championship, that took a genius like Tom Osborne to do.

based Frost will lead us to the promised land

Frost had to chase out the last if Riley's locker room cancer (almost no school players from 2017 are left). Riley didn't have players lift or even do contact practices for three years. It's a miracle Frost was able to turn the team around mid-season last year, and there's a lot of buy in from the players now. They're getting solid recruits.

Nebraska will probably be sitting well in the west in a few years and competing for the B1G. We'll see if that translates into Natty's or not.

Was firing Pelini and hiring Riley the worst move of all time?

Nebraska ain’t a blue blood ya brainlet.

Some would argue firing Solich and hiring Callahan.

>Riley didn't have players lift or even do contact practices for three years

How's that even possible at that level ?

>Clemson, LSU, Florida, FSU
Not bluebloods but I do agree they’re more relevant today than some of the bluebloods
>Georgia, Miami, Auburn
LOOOOOOOOOOOOL

The real list:
Notre Dame
USC
Ohio St
Penn St
Michigan
Nebraska
Oklahoma
LSU
Miami
Alabama

it isn't, they're just spouting bullshit desu

I didn’t say they were blue bloods, I’m saying that being a blue blood isn’t as important anymore.
Who the blue bloods are is clear, but the southern schools are more relevent

>it’s a boatniggers from Miami think 10 relevant years in the 90s/00s makes a program a blue blood episode

You guys aren’t bluebloods and you’re not even just on the outside looking in, you’re on the third tier with schools like your Florida and FSU brethren

Actually, FSU might be second tier. They’re on the borderline

>Nebraska will probably be sitting well in the worst division of a power 5 conference in the entire country
Wow it’s nothing. Wiscydick is bad now, Iowa is mediocre, who do they have to compete with? Fucking Northwestern? lol

the canes were fucking relevant in the 80s too.

about the same length as the fsu run

also misread that.

Miami has had a better run than fsu.

a good 5 year run doesnt make you a blue blood, cough cough clemson

If Miami is a blueblood than so are Illinois, Minnesota and Army. They all had 20-30 years of eliteness at the start of the 20th century, as long as Miami’s run.

Honestly the worst move was letting Perlman become chancellor. He irreparably damaged the school in a lot of ways, and you should see how much the new Chancellor's are doing in the last two years just to counteract it.

Solich probably should never have gotten the HC job either, but Osborne promised it too him. That loss to Colorado in 2001 and then going to a Natty they had no business being in did as much damage as anything over the years.

Who knows. This was the same coach who took the team out to ice cream when they lost.

The move to the Big Ten was thought to be a boon, but it ended up killing them inside.

Tennessee return to glory when?

I remember reading that 5 years after they left the Big12, they were still making less in conference revenue than any of those who stayed put

I didn’t put Clemson

>Penn St
>Nebraksa
>LSU
>Miami

Honestly. There was no need to alienate all the Texas recruits, which was what Nebraska did really well with.

Nebraska will not be relevant as long they are in the B1G. Arkansas will not be relevant as long as they are in the SEC.

Both these schools would fair better back in their original home.

welcome to hell kid

Vandy notwithstanding the SEC is allowed to recruit literal illiterate swamp niggers while every other major conference has academic standards

god you're stupid

Arkansas was a decent, tough program on an upward trajectory until they fired Petrino for being stupid enough to ride around on a bike with his mistress

Rutgers was never at the level that Nebraska consistently played at in the 90s though
It was a legit powerhouse, whereas Rutgers got pretty good when they had that wife beater on their team like a decade ago

Frost will do it and he'll do it the right way

even 20 years of mediocrity can't erase the utter domination that was nebraska football for 40 straight years under Devaney and Osbourne

they're still a blue blood for now

i believe in frost, but if he fails then we're fucked

Why are you guys all counting USC when their winning percentage is dangerously close to falling under .700? It's not as though they've been consistently relevant either, there was a long gap between the John McKay years and the Pete Carroll years where they were irrelevant.

Since leaving the SWC Arkansas has ceased to be a nationally relevant program. The SEC West is just too deep for even Arkansas’ best teams to have a hope of winning the conference title. Geographically, Arkansas is closer to the Big 12 than it is to the other SEC teams.

Arkansas’ main recruiting pitch of “Texas kids come play in the SEC but stay close to home” is weakened by the presence of TAMU in the SEC.

Arkansas used to be a premiere program. Not a blue blood, but on a higher level like a Michigan Statte or Penn State. The problem is they lack exposure in their current conference when after two decades they’ve averaged out as being as good as the Mississippis most years. That is a decline for Arkansas football, and a continued slide since leaving the SWC. The Big 12 has plenty of parity but having to only go through Oklahoma or Texas once to advance the title game is infinitely more achievable than going through Alabama, LSU, (TAMU depending on the year), and the SEC east champ.

Nope

Good argument

who is more deluded, vol fans or husker fans?

The only teams that would suffer in that move are Tech,TCU, and Baylor. Literally everyone else, including Arkansas, benefits.

Besides, I’ve seen how their fan base feels about Texas and considers them a primary rival despite not playing regularly for over 20 years.

Toughie

College football without a successful Vol team blaring Rocky Top at a packed Neyland Stadium seems soulless.

>he actually believes the story that Petrino just wrecked his bike
His mistresses husband ran him off the road after he found out that he was fucking his wife

Notre Dame, Miami and USC belong in the discussion with them.
But I think Tennessee takes the cake

They've made some bad decisions in Solich and Callahan but I'd say Riley has to be the worst. Team turned soft.
