Description

The back-to-back championships in 1994 and 1995 prompted more fans and media to take notice of the football program at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln.

For Tom Osborne, then head coach of the Nebraska Cornhuskers, the added scrutiny was at times flattering and at other times problematic.

On Solid Ground was written for the fan seeking greater insight into the Nebraska football program behind the scenes during the 1990s.

Osborne presents not only an accurate portrayal of what happened to the team during those championship seasons but also his personal philosophy of life. While recounting how many of his players overcame great odds to achieve what they did both on and off the field, Osborne also straightforwardly addresses the heavy criticism the program received for the misbehavior of a few team members.

On Solid Ground also considers the tension between those who believe an athlete in trouble should be made an example of and those who maintain that a structured environment is the best way to improve human behavior.
