Riley losing games he should have won is a MR tradition. So is beating a ranked team in the regular season! Glad to know MR was able to get that bit of goodness out of the Huskers.

Yeah, we'd hate to be .500.... We kemosabe? No, I'd rather have Gary and the current record. .500 gets you canned from Nebraska.

Yep, the great Mike Riley MO. Engineering big upsets and losing to inferior opponents. And never winning the games that really matter.

And never winning the games that really matter.Your bolded sentence is the absolute truth of why Riley is a mediocre coach. And by saying he's mediocre, I may actually be inflating his ego. The problem with this is that the next "game that matters" Gary Andersen wins will be his first. Unless you want to count a 2012 game when Utah State beat Louisiana Tech in overtime after leading 27-3 midway through the third quarter. In 2013, with a potential BCS at large bid on the line, Wisconsin lost to unranked Penn State at home in the final weekend. And I think his final game at Wisconsin has been covered before. I get that you are frustrated that Lance Mitchell couldn't stop Jeremiah Masoli on 4th down in 2009, or that he never beat Chip Kelly. Just a reminder that not many people did beat Chip Kelly. Seven times he lost in four years. Only 3 Pac-12 games - two to Stanford and one to USC. If you want to knock Riley for play calling, recruiting, staff decisions, etc. I can accept that. But to say he "never won games that matter" seems a bit of a stretch. I'd say beating USC on that Thursday night mattered. I'd say beating Cal at Cal when they were #2 in the country mattered. The decision to go for 2 vs. Missouri in the Sun Bowl mattered. The 1998 Civil War mattered. How about beating Oregon in Eugene in 2007 when Yvenson Bernard was injured? Did that matter? Again, it makes no sense to me why the prevailing theory on this board is that Mike Riley prevented us from getting to a Rose Bowl rather than being viewed as the guy who made 8-5 no longer acceptable.
