Those are good points, and well touhght out. But Nebraska has to find a way to win with the players that we can attract. Our biggest problem is distance from the recruiting fields of the coasts. We are as far from the coasts as possible. Athletes like to play in front of friends and family. What Nebraska does have is good stock to build around. But even if you count the midlands states as all one state, we don't have as many football players as Los Angeles say, or the Chicago area. Dallas Carter, one school in Texas, usually has more division-one players than our entire state. When I moved to Colorado, I was amazed at the number of large schools and the real intensity of the programs. They show high school football games on TV all year long, they have grade school football leagues playing tackle football in spring and fall, they have the Broncos, three Division-I schools and a bunch of smaller colleges feeding the interest here. One school that I coached against would be a C school in Nebraska had sixty kids in their summer weight program. So we have to do a better job with what we have. And our players can never take anyone lightly because every team has players now. Parity makes it hard to dominate.
