OH NEBRASKA .!!!!.Things are kid of BAD but Osborne's back!

Oh my gosh.......we got 4 straight years of 3 straight games losing streak under that mavelous coach Callahan.....the one HUSKEROBJECT said was gonna be soooooooo much better than Solich

Oh.....not so fast !!!.......AD Pederson fired Solich unceremoniously stating that " I (Pederson) won't allow this great Nebraska program to deteriorate much longer" by firing Solich.

Uh?......that Solich had five straight years of winning at least 9 games per season looks pretty damm good now ..huh

Oh well, Pederson is now gone........and the Osborne ghost reappears as the new AD....that will make a difference .....right???

Meanwhile .......Nebraska gets trashed by a mediocre Texas A&M....a team mauled by subpar MIami.

Thats how it goes this year......the lousy gets lousier.....the good ones lose......and OHio State cruises on an easy schedule.

Watch out for Oklahoma

:lol: 8)

 

:lol: 8) Where are we going with this season?....can Neb manage .500 ?.....so the scenario is that Callahan gets the boot and then what?....whom?

Will Osborne jump in as interim coach?

Will they go after Nutt? Francione? Mark Richt? Schiano?

COCO probably knows who's out there on the west coast or midwestern programs that could be recruited for coaching but I imagine the pickings may be plentiful given this crazy season.

 

:lol: 8) More FACTS
The Cornhuskers (4-4, 1-3 Big 12) must win two of their last four games to be eligible for a postseason bid. Just reaching the .500 mark doesn't guarantee an invitation, so the Huskers probably need to win three games.

That's asking a lot for a team whose defense has given up 6.6 yards per play during a three-game losing streak in which the Huskers were outscored 122-34.

Now consider that the Huskers play three of their next four games on the road, starting Saturday at No. 17 Texas (6-2, 2-2).

"We've got to keep upbeat and positive. There's nothing you can do otherwise," coach Bill Callahan said Monday. "You can't go into the tank mentally. We can't give up and point fingers. You rally your kids and help them through it."

This is the third time in four seasons under Callahan that the Huskers have lost three straight. Losing at Texas would give Nebraska four straight defeats for the first time since 1961.

The Cornhuskers already have lost three home games in a season for the first time since 1968 - the year folks in Omaha began a petition drive calling for the ouster of Bob Devaney.

Devaney survived and ended up coaching the Huskers to two national titles before retiring and turning over the program to Tom Osborne in 1973.

Callahan is under more pressure than Devaney was four decades ago. Osborne, who won 255 games and three national titles in 25 seasons, returned last week as interim athletic director after the firing of Steve Pederson.

It will be Osborne who decides whether Callahan is back next year, and he's made no secret of the fact he's disappointed with the fall of the program he helped build.

Callahan has said he won't resign - not when he stands to collect more than $3 million from a potential contract buyout. Osborne has said his decision won't be affected by the prospect of having to pay Callahan millions to go away.

Callahan said he and his staff will keep coaching hard. He tweaked his game-day routine for Texas A&M by inviting offensive coordinator Shawn Watson to join him on the sidelines and help with the play-calling. Callahan spent additional time monitoring the goings-on of the defense - "putting in my 2 cents," he said.

"We understand we can be a better football team, and we're doing everything we can to get these kids to play better," Callahan said. "They're receptive in that regard, and we try to hang together and stay tight-knit and put out the best product that we can."

Oh Oh........Texas is next

 

Hope you enjoyed talking to yourself Gonzo.

AJ, congratulations for not rising to the bait.

This topic serves no useful purpose. It's history.

Gonzo, you want to talk about something do some reasonable talking about the Hurricanes. There's a lot there that would be interesting for Skyboxers. Randy Shannon among them.
