And people hates this guys comments.............
>> The most interesting interview after the game was with Corey Raymond. The secondary coach wasn’t convinced Nebraska had enough talent to beat South Carolina, especially in the secondary.
“Just be honest,” Raymond said. “Look at them, look at us. It’s pretty obvious.”
What did Raymond mean? He didn’t spell it out, but he made veiled criticisms of Nebraska’s personnel. For instance, what did he take from this game going into the offseason?
“Hopefully it helps recruiting. Get athletes.”
Was he encouraged by how NU matched up man-for-man? “Not necessarily.”
Raymond went on to compare the mentality of Southern players versus Nebraska’s players. His guys needed to learn how to punch back once they got “hit in the mouth.”
“You can’t live on what other guys have done in the past around here,” Raymond said. “You have to live on yourself…We’re not Prince. We’re not Eric Hagg. We’re not those guys. We have to do much different things. We have to work harder. We’re not the same athletes as those guys.”
Great post Knapp. No one respects the Blackshirts. The players, the staff, the fans or our opponents. Bo and Co can do all they want, but this self -respect and refusal to roll over and quit comes from the team. It can't be recruited, taught or practiced. The guys have to learn it on their own.
I would have thought that after the beatings we got last year, some of these guys would have busted their a$$ to NEVER EVER play like that again. The only improved vet seems to be SJB.
It is a sad day in Blackshirt lore when the toughest SOB's are on O and receivers are your hardest hitters (Enunwa and Bell)
I also think that there has been a definite change in the attitude of this team after Bo's balls were taken after the A&M game. Angry Bo was a winner. Calm Bo, not so much. Teams take on the personality of their coaches.
