Is it always a celebration to overachieve in your first season with a program or can it sometimes elevate expectations too quickly? Apr 11, 2023

Show notes

-The question might seem ridiculous to you, but let’s take a look quickly at TCU. Sonny Dykes inherited a 5-win program and took them to the national championship in his first year at the school. Do fans now expect that to be the norm going forward or will the understand it was a magical year? -If Matt Rhule were to somehow win 10 games next year (or more), does that quickly change expectations to winning the B1G the next season? What if they dove down to 7-8 wins the next year instead? -How long ago has it been since Husker fans have been surprised in a good way? Show sponsored by GANA TRUCKING
