Nebraska AD Says Nebraska and Frost Deserve a Break in Scheduling

Asking for “a break” is the most spineless shit ever. Yeah, Ohio State has a soft ass schedule; what’s new? The Big ten has been suckling their teet for years. The fact that Nebraska threatened to leave and Scott Frost is such a whiny bitch about how deserving Nebraska is as a program and shit, and then they turn around and do this, just goes to show that whole program is a dumpster fire. 

These comments are not a good look for Nebraska football.

But then, it's not 1995 anymore.

Nebraska football: we’re so bad we don’t welcome playing the best teams in the conference. I’ve hated you guys since the BS split championship. Screw off. 

Boo hoo Nebraska. You play in the west every year.

When I saw the schedule I figured Nebraska's crossover games were retribution for threatening to leave the conference. 

On some level he is correct.  We were the other team in the East that got smacked by the schedule.  We might beat Penn State, but be below them in the rankings as they sweep Nebraska and Iowa, if we falter at Minnesota and Wisconsin.  Nebraska wants to win the West and they have to play the two highest ranked teams in the East and Wisconsin and Minnesota each have a game that they should be highly favored in.

Here are the crossover games:

Nebraska: OSU and PSU
Illinois: OSU and Rutgers
Wisconsin: UofM and Indiana
Minnesota: UofM and Maryland
Iowa: PSU and MSU
Northwestern: Maryland and MSU
Purdue: Indiana and Rutgers

Michigan: Wisconsin and Minnesota
OSU: Nebraska and Illinois
PSU: Nebraska and Iowa
MSU: Northwestern and Iowa
Maryland: Minnesota and Northwestern
Indiana: Purdue and Wisconsin
Rutgers: Illinois and Purdue
 

The point about Ohio State having two top 25 opponents: valid and definitely BS, the point about "needing a break" only for your school because your coach can't figure out how to beat more teams than he loses to in any season: invalid and a stupid argument.

Gee how is the team supposed to take this when they see it? “Sorry guys, you’re not good enough and you’ve lost one time too many so I’m trying to put your training wheels back on until you look like you know what you’re doing?” I can’t speak for everyone in that locker room but to me, if I was playing for Nebraska this tells me that my AD thinks I suck and I can’t do this on my own. That mindset can very easily carry over to the football field and screw with my self confidence.  

If he felt the need to say it, then saying it behind closed doors probably would’ve been smarter. Or it at least would’ve taken longer to get out. 

Unpopular opinion here. I actually like that he is calling out the Ohio State bias. An AD finally does and he gets called whiny. I believe it's pretty hypocritical when most people on this board have said the same thing.  I understand that he is saying it in his own self interest but at least somebody's addressing the elephant in the room. 

Oh yes. This will help him get the result he wants in the future. 

Boy it sure does make more and more sense why they left the B12 a decade ago. Take your balls and go back to the B12.

Well, he has a point.  Just like the SEC did with Georgia and Alabama, the B1G made the glide path for the contenders as smooth as possible.  He smelled bullshit and called it out, not a huge fan of the whining but glad at least ONE school in the conference is standing up to Ohio State.

This comes across as whiny and amateur, but as we all know if you say it long enough, people will believe you and it’s a fair point about the discrepancy in scheduling. 

Bill Moos did not do his "great football coach" any favors by mooing about needing "a break here or there to start getting back on track to being a contender in the Big Ten West.”

I don't blame him for bringing up OSU's schedule, but he should have kept his comments to that specific topic.

Bill Moos should salivate at the opportunity of all the outhitting that’s about to occur. Or go back to the Big 12 and lose to sunbelt teams. Btw please take Rutgers with you. 

Crybabies gonna Cry

Nebraska is not worth the trouble, they suck at football, which was the only reason to add a second rate academic institution like that.  They should go back to the Big 8 where they can whine about playing Oklahoma and Texas.  If we excise Rutgers to preserve some divisional symmetry, it can be a win-win.

*exaggerated wanking motion*

Maybe someday, someone can call out the OSU bias in scheduling without relating it to one's own teams inadequacies?  Maybe someone could have said that the schedules aren't necessarily balanced across the conference?  Unfortunately, this complaint isn't that.

All Moos did was compare OSU to his own team in a way to make his case - his team sucks and should get a break because it sucks.  He wasn't railing against OSU's schedule as much as he was using it as a tool to make his own easier.  Fuck him.

if you truly want a break in scheduling NB, why don't you just join either the Big Sky or Mountain West conference? ...if they'd even have you

1. As MgoHillbilly pointed out, the word he wanted was "disassembling." As Bradyis... suggests, "dissembling" means concealing. People make mistakes but a college leader shouldn't make simple ones.

2. Whine much? Born in Nebraska, I'm embarrassed for you.

Maybe poor English & whining are big 12 traits, and you should take your own hint.

Maybe we could relegate them to the MIAA so they can play a schedule they like. 

As fans of Michigan, most were upset with our crossover games this year...but we'd never go on the record and have it published.  But the friggin AD of Nebraska just did. What kind of cheese is served with all that whine? 

Perhaps Nebraska should drop down to the MAC?

As Nebraska falls to the bottom, they would like a really soft cushion to fall on, because they deserve a break.

If Nebraska was a ranked team OSU would have another ranked team on the schedule

I know this board has been contentious as of late but I think we can all unite as one voice here in saying that Nebraska's athletic director can go eat a bag of dicks

He’s whiny, but he’s not wrong. Michigan is also getting screwed. OSU is getting a break. 
The crossover scheduling is stupid. We should just be on a rotating schedule with teams in the other division, not playing Wisconsin every year. 
All that said, having your AD publicly whine about it is pretty lame. 

I live in Wisconsin. Here's some cheese:

I heard it goes well with whine.

They're actually playing 4 ranked teams per the coaches poll, same as Michigan.  All I kept hearing was how Nebraska was dying to play football and now it looks like they'll just boat raced to a 3-5 record and talk about how COVID-19 scheduling really hamstrung what is year 10 of them returning to national relevance.

We were all just complaining about how Michigan got screwed in schedule-making, and now y'all are going to immediately shame Nebraska for doing the same?
