PostHeaderIcon Worst to First – Turning a College Football Disaster Into a Winner

Uilding a successful college football program requires several key ingredients. Now that the 2008 campaign has concluded for some truly awful programs, the work to build losers into winners has begun. It is appropriate now, to look at some of the significant elements required for building a winning football program. Included on this list are: Early pioneers of creative scheduling used to rely on sportswriters to simply pick their team as a contender for the National Championship. In years past, the Cornish Game Huskers of Nebraska routinely scheduled unbelievably weak opponents to open their season. They would fill Memorial Stadium in Lincoln with throngs of beer basted, red nosed (and clad) fans to watch the Huskers thrash teams that could hardly assemble eleven people for the kick off. The advent of the BCS scoring system changed all that. Instead of arranging weekly massacres of poor opponents in September, the Big and Red administration had to try and bring in some quality opponents such as Southern Cal and Virginia Tech. It is bad enough that Nebraska has to face serious competition in Missouri, Oklahoma and Texas during their conference schedule. Now, that danged BCS has made the Big and Red Fans (BaRFs), actually see some real games during the harvest season. The University of Michigan – another of the hallowed monster football programs – used to try the weak-sister scheduling method to gather steam for a national championship run. Unfortunately for them (and a blessedly for the rest of us), over the past two seasons, they scheduled in Appalachian State and the University of Utah as part of their September Patsy Parade. The really bad news for the Wolverines is that both AppState and the Utes actually showed up. In 2008, an early loss to Utah set the stage for a remarkable skid into the grey land of bowl ineligibility. Now, all the snow choked Wolverine fans have to make up a reason to go drink beer in Florida while other teams continue to play football. The...

Okay so does anyone else think Nebraska vs. USC is waaayyyyy over hyped!??!?!?!?

& I'm a Husker fan that lives 2 minutes from Memorial Stadium in Lincoln. But it's just hilarious how over the top this is getting. People have been talking about it for a month straight & now it's like the whole town is just going mad over anticipation for the game that will bring the Huskers back!!! Please. We are not close. Husker fans are just so spoiled and are desperate to be back. It doesn't help that the media is hyping this up this much. It's just funny to see how a whole town reacts to "such a big event." We really have nothing else here & the reaction here just proves it. Even Rush Limbaugh talked about it. WIll Ferrell, Nick Lachey, Snoop Dogg, and lots of people are already here. For what? Hopefully not to watch a good game!!! Hotels downtown are really jacking up prices toO! To even be able to make a reservation you had to book it for 3 days minimum...& the price is double normal. Wow. I just can't wait to see the Husker fans let down after. I'd love to see a win BUT DAMN


Certain indiviuals are putting it over the top in YA, but in the real world it is just the next big game. I am actually looking forward to it myself. I think Nebraska is going to pull it off.
