Halloween under the lights

[Hunchback Johnny]

I'm not Fumble, but I find that a very intriguing question. I'll go a step further. What if we end the season 5-7? Perish the thought but worse case scenario, 5-7 season. WTF does the AD do? What does he do if we finish 6-6?

Sucky bye-week convos anyway but both seem like valid questions. Slide back a game or finish the same as last year. What should the AD do?

My honest gut reaction is that nothing will change. Buyout is way too much and I'm doubtful big money donors are going to want to pony up yet again. For better or worse, Matt Rhule is DONU's HC

Good news is, Fickell has righted the ship at Wisconsin. Get Jason Eck from New Mexico this season and rid ourselves of the FFPSS (Frightened Frantic Panic Sideline Show).

I think this Nebraska Cornhusker team can beat anybody. But I also think they could lose to anybody. You could say that about any team out there these days. It's like the NFL

Yeah after starting 5-0 with our crappy preseason schedule you have to think that losing 7 in a row or only getting one win in the last 7 you have to start seriously questioning if he is the right guy. And changing more assistant coaches isnt the answer anymore.

I dont think we will lose our or only win one more game. I think we probably win our next 3 games and then we go into OSU and Iowa with chance to make it to 9 and 10 wins. But man if we dont.....

Going into the season, there was a lot of handwringing about out DL. They've responded.

IMO, what our final regular season record looks like will depend on the play of our OL.

Just want to say I'm not predicting losing out, just found HJ's question interesting and wanted to take it one step further. I would be stunned if the Huskers lost all remaining games after starting 5-0 but seems like anything can and does happen anymore.

Look at it this way. Nebraska is good enough to win all 5. Will they? Probably not. But getting to 8 wins would be progress. Losing all 5 would put Rhule's keister squarely on the hot seat. He's gonna be the person held accountable - and he knows it - you can tell by some of the frustration he's sharing in his pressers.
