Three-Star Recruit

Three-Star Recruit (4/21)

  1. It's downright unacceptable; however Riley can give another go by me. I'm not sure about the talent argument. If the argument is a better class next year it will come by coaching since most of the team will be younger. We are losing so many mature, experienced seniors this year. On both defense and offense.
  2. Read seems completely aloof to the whole game of football. He never appears focused and poised when I see him during the games.. Don't know if that's just me.
  3. You forgot to mention a lack of depth especially on the lines. The OL needs a huge talent upgrade as you see what walk on talent get you. The DL needs some depth with some guys who can put pressure on the QB without blitzing. That will make the rest of the defense look a lot better. I agree with this.. But not sure about talent - maybe more coaching.
  4. With our talent we should have looked like olympic champions against our first 9 opponents - yet we looked like the slow straggling cyclist who somehow managed to get endurance to peddle a little faster than the other person,
  5. I was a little uneasy at the beginning of the season with all the skeptics doubting Nebraska's greatness. After our loss to Wisconsin I started to believe them. I am fully convinced we have a tremendous amount of soul searching to do. Almost all 9 of our wins this season were barely won. We have talent but we have a severe deficiency in execution and consistency; I put quite a bit of that on coaching. We are more of a bad football team than is Iowa a good football team. This is just outright unacceptable.
  6. Yes Meyer and Saban. Ohio St. got their championship dreams crushed by Penn St. It's no surprise we get straight owned by them after their defeat. Meyer was trying to make a point to other teams and to his own team as well - we don't give up. His team is young overall and he made them look like seasoned veterans out there on Saturday. Meyer deserves all the credit he has received so far.
  7. Talent is not much to me. A great coach will craft masterpeices from the trenches. The great players in my opinion are always the 'diamonds in the rough.' A group of young men who are persistent, teachable/coachable, and passionate. A good coach would make a ball game with a group of kids with these traits. You can have 5-star recruits and more physical talent than you can handle; however, if you can't speak into the lives of young men you'll just be tossing a football around and grunting. I think there are more important lessons in the game of football or any sport for that matter. Which is probably why I value the coaching aspect more than the talent aspect; it's less superficial and harder to do. Average men and women can be pretty successful in sports just by practicing - this gets your talent about equal to most other teams.. The vast majority of improvement is made by coaching. I'm thinking of Nick Saban as a coach who can really rally his team
  8. Banking on going to the playoff by hoping the teams that beat us slip-up and lose....I don't know about that. I think our team needs vastly improved to contend against anyone. Look at our wins..most of them are wins that were barely snuck out
  9. We lack any competive play calling, scheming or design. We are lackluster in coaching. I believe in our players but they needs to be coached up.
  10. I want to play bowling green 12 times next year just to fool myself into thinking we have gone somewhere farther than the many unbearable years of the past.
  11. Dude was a dick at UF and a dick at OSU.... You may not personally care for him, but it's up to our defense to stop them. They can't take a knee for the last 1 and a half quarters. Naw. It's just his whole personality. No different than TO and the 90's. TO was gracious and humble even in curb stompings Who gives a sh#t if he is gracious or not..if he put in the time to get his men where they are at he kind of earns the edge to be a little prideful, no? Just me. I like humility in winning and losing. Urban Meyer might be rubbing it in but if he has a valid point other than just being an a-hole it is a little different. If you work 10 years to make something great out of nothing I think it means something to you and you are happy to display it. I think that's part of competing. No?

  13. Imagine next year when all our seniors are gone.......
  14. If we win the next three games I might be slightly less pissed than I am right now only because it would be a little bit better than what Bo had done while he was here.
