If you are not embarassed about the loss, then how do you claim to be a Nebraska fan. It was the worst beat down since the 50's. We walked on the field a ranked and gaining respect. We walked off beaten, out played, out coached by a 2nd game Head Coach and over 8 Freshmen starting on offense and defense.
That my friends is embarassing, no matter how long you have been a fan. I have seen more games than most of you combined and it was one of the worst displays I have ever seen from our defense. Calling Pelini a genius after that game is like calling Saban a loser.
If the team, the staff and the AD are no embarassed about this we have nowhere to go but down. But I am pretty sure this game will be the battle cry for this program for awhile. I never want to see anything that resembles this game.
I have heard every day how bad we suck from all my SC fan friends, my boss and my National Sales manager. Some wanted to know if we were a flag football team. I have heard continously about how untalented, slow, plodding we are.
I am not embarassed by the players, I am embarassed by our staff, and all of us should be. We were not watching the Nebraska football I have known for over 50 years.
Dude, seriously?
I live in the same state as you, and know tons of UCLA/USC fans, and the general consensus is, "Wow, that was weird. Maybe UCLA is good.".
This is not to say that I was happy about going to the Rose Bowl and seeing that. But, quite honestly, Nebraska got caught in a track meet and lost. Pelini is trying to whip up the defense in reaction. That's it.
Call me optimistic to a fault but this isn't 07 by a long shot.
(reserve full right to melt down if I attend Saturday's game and it's a wreck).
