Corn Flakes: Cranky Old Columnists Have It Best? And A Message to the CN Community

A message to the CN community, and I wonder if cranky old columnists (COCs) aren’t on to something.

Our standard mode of operation has been the same for years; Wednesdays we start looking forward to the next opponent. Wednesday is the day that Mike has done his opponent preview for probably around 10 years. The Oregon game is behind us and Northern Illinois lies ahead.

I have had a hard time processing the first two games of the season. I try to remain realistic but it’s difficult to not be excited about every single Nebraska football season. Having said that, watching our defense in the first two games of the season and in giving up 42 points to Oregon in the first half… Let’s just say I’ve lost a lot of faith in this coaching staff. I hate to say that because normally I’m the the Pollyanna of our group – at least that’s how I always always seen myself.

This seems to be the way it goes now. Every football season is a roller coaster ride. One week we’re up and the next week were down. We all know that winning can cure these ills, but that doesn’t describe what it’s like to be a Minnesota Gopher fan or a Purdue Boilermaker fan, or quite frankly any of the other fan bases that don’t see themselves as having to achieve conference titles as their measure of success.
