You have to admit that beating up on Western Illinois was pretty impressive -- they went 2-5 in the Gateway Conference! Then there was a loss to Southern Mississippi, who play in the powerful Conference USA. The Blackshirts did manage to beat Pitt by a whole touchdown, and Pitt did manage to make it into a BCS Bowl -- to get crushed by the mighty Utes! No wonder the Huskers scheduled Maine next year!
To be fair, Husker8877 did admit that Nebraska's season wasn't great this year. I was mocking Nebraska's long history under Tom Osborne of playing one of the weakest non-conference schedules, running up the scores on Nobody U., then lobbying the polls on their 'great tradition' bullcrap. And again to be fair, towards the end of Osborne's tenure he did upgrade their non-conference schedules, and often got exposed as a result (such as the upset at Arizona State, hahaha!)
