It's nice to know that we survived the 2007 debacle and kept our composure, but I'd rather never, ever, EVER hear the words "Kansas scored again".

(And judging by the results of most of the polls on the weekly report cards, a lot of alcoholics were created by Kevin Cosgrove's defense this season.)  

You really do some great work!

I doubt your blog will be in line for it next year.  I just don't see Nebraska suffering two seasons like this in a row.  2007 was a nightmare for NU, but I sense that the difference between how badly the year went, and another mid-level bowl year, really was much less than might be expected.  Just one win in October (@ MU, OSU, aTm & @UT) might have held the whole thing together for the rest of the season.

As an outsider, I found the whole mid-year collapse a head scratchier.  I didn't think it was possible for NU to give up so many points on defense week in and week out.  I started to wonder if the situation wasn't driven by program wide despair and hostility, not lack of talent.  Refusal to accept accountability caused those responsible to alternate between feeding on each other and circling the wagons, the whole time the team was breaking down into muttering and dispirited factions in a very public forum.

It just was ugly.

Oh well, not like I really know what I am talking about here.  I should probably just leave this to the Husker fans to sort out.
