It's like some 60 year fat guy with a comb-over in the bar bragging to some young beefcake about all the chicks he used to bang. The young guy isn't impressed. The old guy recalls it with fond memories, but that doesn't help him land the next chick. The young guy is living it and enjoying the moment.

That's where Nebraska is now. They were a dominant team in a different era. They ran the option 30 times a game. Kids coming out of high school look at that the way we look at leather helmets. It might make for some fond memories in a yearbook somewhere, but those days are long gone.

Exactly! You need to post more.
