I now understand everything that is wrong with this program....

I think you may need to find an NFL team to root for.  This is "school" ball after all.

This would not fly at my "high school"....

 

It doesn't fly with my middle school.

That's too bad.  It's amateur sports after all.  Part of that is the joy of competing.

Really?

 

Let me clear my throat has always been awesome. You want players loose and pumped up, not tight wound. Of course, that doesn't mean they won't still lose a game. Philipp is an intense dude. I love that he's so active on the sidelines and that the players can feed off his energy, and vice versa.

And I think the defense taking the field after Nebraska just takes the lead is a pretty good time to get amped.

I may just be getting old and turning into a "fuddy duddy" but that "display" was uncalled for.  They were very much still in danger of losing the game.

 

Remember the awesome "Let Me Clear My Throat" against Wisconsin.  It was an awesome celebration.  The players were into it, the coaches were into it, and the crowd was into it.  While everyone was patting each other on the back, Wisconsin marched down the field and kicked a game winner.  This is very much a focus issue and a sign of why players want to play for Riley: for possibly the wrong reasons.

 

 

edit: after thinking about it, I could be okay with players being excited in this situation and dancing to stadium music.  But, a coach should not be involved.  Especially a coach that is in charge of "preparing their bodies to play".  

 

Your name does not fit 

[funhusker]

Personal preference I guess.  I want focus when a game is still in doubt.  Instead of a coach "having a party", I would appreciate him making sure my offensive players are ready to get on the field to seal the deal.  

 

I just think there is a huge difference between "loose" and "not focused".

I know.

[zoogs]

Yeah, but I think we're stretching to call this not focused.

 

There isn't a direct connection between positive displays of energy and not giving a s#!t about the game,  either, which is what you seem to be thinking. I guess it's an optics thing, and taste varies...we're unhappy with the team's performance overall and, win or lose, we want the team to look like it, too. 

 

You could question ability or coaching, but I think spirit (from the team and the fanbase) is something that's been commendably displayed all year.

Before this turns into a long discussion; I have zero problems with players having fun.  I really don't have a problem with coaches celebrating.  I've followed runs down the sideline with fist in the air before and have been a huge cheerleader.

 

My problem with this is that it is 2 plays after the go ahead touchdown.  Let the fans and teammates be happy and pump up the defense.  I just don't see why a staff member needs to be acting like he's at a party in that situation.  In my mind: he should be reminding those guys that there is still 17 minutes left and to be ready to finish it off.

 

Again, just my "unfun"husker opinion.

Phillip is really stiff.  Maybe it's because he has no neck.  Food must drop from his tongue directly to his stomach.

After your last 10 posts basically amounting to, "Why are those players and that coach having fun when the game isn't over now they're not focused", I don't actually believe you.

I normally don't notice who posts what, unless they say something enlightening or something I'm somewhat offended by.

 

Guess which one has me seeing your name so often?
