It’s so hard to win it all. So much has to go right, unless of course you know the plays. ;D

My IU fan friend says it's like the Cubs winning the WS.

The '96 Gators are no longer the most recent team to win its first NC.

Remember how many of us, especially me, decried the NIL because it benefitted the status quo more so than ever, and we believed that now, more than ever, the blue bloods would prevail? Well, it's not so. 

That said, we have few billionaires in Iowa, and they are not big billionaires. I don't think Iowa is winning a national championship any time soon unless Mark Cuban is a traitor to his school.

I was going to say fewer billionaires are in Nebraska, but I am not so sure as Warren Buffet and others associated with Berkshire-Hathaway, may be billionaires, who could purchase players for Nebraska. 

I don't think a guy financially as savvy and as financially conservative and interested in developing wealth, and being a philanthropist, as Warren Buffet, would buy a collegiate team, unless there was a profit for his company to be earned. Buffet graduated from UNL. Hmmm.

One of my IU neighbors (50s yoa) on the block just said (recently) , this just was never in the plans as a fan.........(he would always revert to the Jim Mora) classic quote  "playoffs?   playoffs?  we just want to win a bowl.   Gimme an Independence a Liberty, but playoffs

hard for me to place this (not that it is required to place this event in history).
