Nebraska has 80,000 for their spring game.

[phead903]

We will be doing good to get 40,000.  We just wont pack the house because our University is all the way at the edge of NW Arkansas.

Isn't Lincoln on the far eastern edge of Nebraska?

[ErieHog]

UHHHH, The University of Nebraska is in Lincoln.  Lincoln has a population of over 240K, and is in the SE part of the state.

Be nice to children, Hogsanity

[dqhog33]

By the way Nebraksa is 0-2 in bowl games vs SEC this century, lost to Ole PIss, LMFAO

[ErieHog]

And what happens when they play for the Title?  They get dominated because they ease through their conference because their conference usually sucks.  Why does the SEC lead in NFL players and draft picks, EVERY YEAR

They win it, with reasonable frequency.

The SEC doesn't lead in NFL draft picks and players every year, btw.     It varies from season to season, with the Big XII also having it's share of success too, albeit less than the SEC.

the hogs are kicking ass against the big 12 too arent they dickweed

[gohogsgo006]

i suppose u can twist the numbers..whatever, bottom line is, historically, we cant  hold nebraskas jock  dude,  few teams can

Twist the numbers? I specifically said "THIS century". You are the one bringing up the 80s and 90s. BTW, i never said we could hold their jock. I know their history and prestige. I was just saying we are pretty comparable THIS century

[dqhog33]

Oh yeah <Lincoln, I had college World Series on my mind

[hogsanity]

The Hogs lost to UNLV, so whats your point?  Does that mean the WAC, or Mt WESt, or whatever weaksister league UNLV was in is better than the SEC?

[drivetimeporks]

ok, yes in these 8 years..lets throw the last 100 out the window..hell lets just count the 2006 seasaon and we dominate the guys..whatever..jackhole

mt west brings it baby go air force falcons!

[Special Delivery Jones]

The wrench into the situation is that while they did have Callahan we had NUTT.  That is worth about 50 losses right there.  Because of Nutt we lost the NUMBER 1 recruit in the country.  That is worth another 50 losses.  Nebraska while they may have 8 less wins over the last 8 seasons are still ahead of the Hogs.  Just not the same. 

[dqhog33]

See that is what is wrong with college football.  Notre Dame gets pumped every year and they suck.  Just because they were good back in the day when they had RB's running 5 flat 40's, nobody cares

[drivetimeporks]

Nobody cares about the last 100, heck blacks couldnt play 60 years ago, any team could dominate.

believe what u like, ill take nebraskas history over the hogs anyday, anytime, anyplace... whos better all time? notre dame? usc?  damn sure aint the hogs..retards

[Special Delivery Jones]

Oh but at least 80,000 people care enough about what Nebraska is doing to pay a lot of money to watch a scrimmage game.  When you get to that level then you have arrived. 

[dqhog33]

NOtre Dame freakin sucks

[ErieHog]

Nobody cares about the last 100, heck blacks couldnt play 60 years ago, any team could dominate.

Yeah.  That horrible Nebraska white-boy national title winner Tommy Fraizer and the rest of his KKK crowd have been running off 'black folk' from Nebraska football for decades.

[drivetimeporks]

Mustain may have been rated the number 1 player in the country( like every booty brother) but he wasnt that good

8-0 all time as a hog starter.. dont let the facts get in your way dude

[AuburnHog]

Dana Altman didn't agree.

Have you been to Omaha Wilson?  I wouldnt have any envy of anything about that program.  Arkansas has better facilities, coaches, and city than anything Nebraska has.

[Special Delivery Jones]

Mustain may have been rated the number 1 player in the country( like every booty brother) but he wasnt that good

Not a matter of how good you, I, or anyone else thinks he is he was rated as the NUMBER 1 player in the country.  I honestly have not  seen enough of him over a long enough term to make determination on that.  Can you tell me who in that class should have been rated ahead of him?

[drivetimeporks]

NOtre Dame freakin sucks

suck they may, but whats their record  compared to the hogs all time?

[Special Delivery Jones]

Yeah.  That horrible Nebraska white-boy national title winner Tommy Fraizer and the rest of his KKK crowd have been running off 'black folk' from Nebraska football for decades.

Or the nearly 30 years of 10 wins or more they had from 71 on.  Yeah now correct me if I am wrong, but Johnny Rodgers he was black wasn't he?

[WilsonHog]

dqhog33, you know where your posts are going?

I'm deleting them.

Because I can.

Deal with it.

[drivetimeporks]

dang man im exausted

Nothing like being comparable to a team that is at one of the lowest points it has ever been.  Whats that say about us?

[gohogsgo006]

ok, yes in these 8 years..lets throw the last 100 out the window..hell lets just count the 2006 seasaon and we dominate the guys..whatever..jackhole

Princeton has the most NCAA Football championships, does that mean they are still the best Football team? Context...learn it.  And while your at it, have a try at tact

[gohogsgo006]

Nothing like being comparable to a team that is at one of the lowest points it has ever been.  Whats that say about us?

It still says the teams are comparable (teams, not programs)

[wbs gurl]

See there is a little difference in records.  ARKANSAS PLAYS IN THE FREAKIN SEC

Oh my good lord, don't start that tired old, delusional argument again.

[ErieHog]

Nah.  Remember, Nebraskan whiteys hate black people.  Dan Devine and Tom Osborn, after all, hate black people, and Nebraska  barely integrated football 75 years before Arkansas.

1892 George Flippin.  The 5th African-American to play collegiate football at a predominatly white university.

First to be in the National College Football Hall of Fame, too.

[Special Delivery Jones]

So 116 years ago or roughly twice the aforementioned 60 years an African-American suited up for the Cornhuskers.  Weird how that pesky thing called facts can get you.

[elksnort]

Nebraska has won more games percentage wise than any team since 1960. Until a few years ago, Nebraska had 33 9-win seasons in a row!

Are you kidding me?

Nebraska is part of College Football royalty.

YOu guys dont get it.  Notre Dame and Nebraska will never be the dominant teams they once were.  Why?  Several reasons.  They along with Penn St. used to be some of the few schools on TV every week.  Now they all are.  Another reason weather and facilities.  And the majority of good black athletes are on the west coast and the south.  Teams of the future are LSU, Florida, USC, TExas

I am not discounting your points about Penn St and Neb declining.  Neb began to faulter when their ability to bring in 3 dozen potential O linemen on Agricultural Scholarships, let them walkon, work out, and practice for 2 or 3 years, then put them on Fb scholarship, was taken away.  However, you can not seriously say that Neb was never anything.

Oh I get it.  But I also am suprised that anyone would actually try to explain to me the way the days of the week fall.  Not really that hard to understand.

[idiotghos]

And the majority of good black athletes are on the west coast and the south.

This has been the case for many, many years.  But hey, what's this?

It seems that superior athleticism can be recruited to teams no matter where they play.

just curious, as a side note, why is it ok to speak of black athletes always so positively , and white ones so negatively?  racism is a 2 way street...

Hammer met nail....you are correct sir....Once the fiasco of "county scholarship walkon program" was made illegal, along with Bad Coaching, an obsolete offense, and not being able to $$$$cherrypick$$$$ a handfull of african american skill players from the slums of New Jersey, Nebraska's program has settled in where they more likely belong. Devaney and Osborne were Top Notch HC's...but the Big XII ended the OU and Neb and the 6 dwarfs (Big8) advantage in much the same way the UA & UT vs the rest of the SWC formula that was prevalent through much of the 60's & 70's....

getting 80K+ is a HUGE DEAL for a spriing game....kudo's to the husker fans...Having Omaha close to Lincoln in the same way that Norman is practically a suburb of OKC makes it much easier to draw fans...It is what it is...if Fayetteville was geographically located where Conway is or LR metro was halfway between Fort Smith and Fayetteville we would draw 80K just as easily....

[Brownie Tuggle]

8-0 all time as a hog starter.. dont let the facts get in your way dude

Im sure the 2 Sophmore RB's were the main fact he was 8- 0. Mcfaden and Jones.

[drivetimeporks]

just got my new issue of SI.. 
a nice article on NEB football..and no,  i'm not a fan..i hope they lose every game they play for all the years running the scores up on crap teams , but anyway...

per SI:

osbourne went 255-49-3 and 3 nat titles in his 25 years as coach

and

289 consecutive home sellouts (and counting)
currently the stadium holds 81,067

yep, they suck!

[Fisticuffs]

No question, Nebraska is elite. Our history simply does not compare. There is nothing wrong with their facilities. They have a beautiful stadium. The most loyal fans in the Big XII. Speaking of the Big XII, its easy for us to soak up the SEC today and take pride in competing in the best conference in the nation but to use the SEC as an excuse for our mediocrity is ludacris. In the 90s the SEC was not the best conference and that's for damn sure. Big XII, Big Ten, ACC... they all competed on the same level as the SEC. And where were we? Soaking up mediocrity in the SEC. Where was Nebraska, winning titles.
