Nick Saban was 6-6 his first year at Bama.....

And lost to Louisiana Monroe.....Rome wasn't built in a day, keep the faith!

We won't be a .500 team if Martinez doesn't get healthy and play the rest of the games. Just sayin'.

Going to take a while but I suspect we will have some positive moments this year

[Crusader Husker]

Won’t go 6-6.

[LumberJackSker]

It would take an act of god for Nebraska to win 6 out of 9 games

We aren't getting any extra practices this year and I also think playing this poorly currently WILL hurt recruiting.  There's no way we go bowling after today with our Oline, turnovers, penalties, etc.

Keep your heads up. Riley ain't our coach and we have Frost. Things will get better.

In the long run, but probably not this season.

This year was a wash anyways. Some got carried away in the off season hype, but in reality, this season was at best 5-6 wins. Remember we are coming off a 4 win awful season. There is so much to change that it realistically can't be changed in just one offseason.

I would really like to peak into that alternative universe that allowed NU to play and beat Akron in week 1.  I truly think fans would be a lot happier in that realm. 

 

But, them's the breaks....

Ding ding. We got a winner here. This is a bad team, 6 wins is not gonna happen.

[CheeseHusker]

Wasn't Alvarez 1-10?

 

Unfortunately that might be more in play at this point.

I realize I’m a bit peeved right now, but I just want to point out that “Just sayin’” is the most pointless expression in the History of the English Language. It adds nothing to your comment or your ability to wiggle out from responsibility for what you said before it. It lowers the public perception of your IQ by any number of points (and never RAISES IT).

No choice but to be positive.  Does anyone think Frost is in trouble? LOL.  Only fools thought this team was only tougher weight room workouts, nostalgic images of nineties success and intense locker room talks were going to turn this around in a year.  A new system can take more time than a new culture.  We need both.
