Who?
Vanderbilt? That's about it, these days Bo. This ain't 1995.
(Before someone says Kentucky, no, not Kentucky. Kentucky cares about one thing: basketball. Football is a nice distraction until November for them).

Right now, with the success that Bama, LSU, A&M, S.C., UGa & UF are having, why would anyone want to be Nebraska? All of the other teams in the SEC have the cream of the crop to aspire to be comparable to, and he thinks they want to be like Nebraska? That's straight out of fantasy land. Or am I in some kind of mental haze here?
Nebraska's three title teams WISHED they were Alabama. The barn MIGHT WISH they were Nebraska. That's about it. Sorry Bo, you are a joke and your bunch has been a joke since your savior retired. Now go pitch a fit over another kid signing a MLB contract instead of signing with you.
Arkansas wishes they were Nebraska so much they went out and hired the coach that hung 70 on Bo and Company in the conference championship game
Why would Auburn wish they were Ohio State? Ohio State wishes they were Auburn when it comes to the NCAA investigative division.
Did you know that in the last 12 years, Ole Miss (5-0) has won more bowl games than Nebraska (4-6), and the Cornshuckers have lost to Auburn, Ole Miss, S Carolina, and UGA. Keep in mind the Rebs were coached by perhaps the two biggest clowns in history and played the toughest conference ever. I'm sure Ole Miss would love Nebraska's schedule too.

Nebraska hasn't been Nebraska since Tom Osborne retired from coaching. I can see his point on the Mississippi States and Kentucky's however.
Man we really are in all these coach's heads. The question was asked to get a reaction out of Pelini and he went for it. Nebraska has a proud heritage and his job is to get them back on top. I'm really amazed at the stupid questions these coaches get asked. No wonder CNS is usually guarded in pressers.
I agree with you 100%---why would any team in the SEC inspire to be Nebraska when there's an Alabama.
I don't know. If Miss St played in the conferences Nebraska has over the last 100 years they'd probably have a similar won/loss record and be considered one of the elite teams.
Kentucky and Vandy I could see his point but that's about it and I doubt Vandy would with Franklin coaching them.
He's right. It isn't just those teams. Nebraska wouldn't have been .500 in the SEC. They'd probably get beat by Vandy, VANDY! But they did make the B1G championship.
No you aren't in a haze...
Considering 6 SEC teams finished the 2012 season final BCS rankings ahead of both Nebraska and Michigan, (7 teams according to the USA Today Poll--oh, one of which was VANDY). 2011 was very similar with 5 SEC teams , 3 of which finished in the Top 5. Again, Nebraska barely broke the Top 25.
So yeah I'd say he's a bit misguided. Nebraska has a great tradition and history no doubt, but they're aren't exactly what they used to be...
