[Husker] If you're going to make comparisions (was Re: Character)

For the sake of sanity and possibly even the truth....  Let's drop this one.
We aren't go to agree to even disagree, so why go there?

Warning:  Here we go again, so if you don't like to
see this stuff rehashed for the 45,383th time, just
hit delete...

The facts show otherwise, Bob.  Osborne went 5-5 in
the 80's against OU.  Did you mean the 70's?
Osborne's first 6 years:

1973:  Oklahoma 27, Nebraska 0
1974:  Oklahoma 28, Nebraska 14
1975:  Oklahoma 35, Nebraska 10
1976:  Oklahoma 20, Nebraska 17
1977:  Oklahoma 38, Nebraska 7
1978:  Nebraska 17, Oklahoma 14
       Oklahoma 31, Nebraska 24

That's 1-6 for TO versus Oklahoma, with 4 losses of
14+ points.

Solich's worst opponent?  Choose between Kansas State
(2-4), with 2 losses of 14+ but 1 win by 26 points or
Texas (1-4), with 1 24 pt. loss and a 16 point win.

As for recruiting "slipping", let's look at Solich's
last 2 seniors compared to other schools in the Big
XII as drafted by the NFL. (These were guys recruited
by Solich)
Nebraska:  9 (2003: 4, 2004: 5)
Colorado:  8 (2003: 6, 2004: 2)
Texas:     8 (2003: 4, 2004: 4)
Oklahoma:  7 (2003: 4, 2004: 3)
Kansas St: 5 (2003: 3, 2004: 2)

And the 2005 class of Solich recruits was looking
promising, with Barrett Ruud, Josh Bullocks, and
Fabian Washington all looking like strong recruits.
In addition, Richie Incognito was making a big
impression at the NFL combine yesterday until he
suffered a severe knee injury.  Before that happened,
there were likely at least 4 draft picks for this
year.
