Even fans keep shooting themselves in the foot.
Wasn't there a Husker team recently and played the Badgers straight up tougher'n Hell? I remember the Badger news saying something to the effect that this was not a normal Nebraska team to be pushed around.1. Martinez doesn't throw more than one interception
2. The defense has fewer than three penalties
3. The penalties the defense does get are not at important times in the game
4. Special teams has practiced long and hard and will actually behave like football players
5. The entire team wants to shock the s#!t out of us all
I like to live in an optimistic world I guess. We beat the Crap out of a couple of our opponents but lost due to mistakes. Fix a couple mistakes and we are right there with Wisconsin...IF the 18-21 year old believe. Only real difference between us and the Wisconsin kids is confidence. That's the coaching staffs job. Very tough job right now but I believe each week could be the week that the corner is turned. Maybe it's now or a year from now? Either way, tail gate and have fun and hope for the best.

Mike Riley had them beat with a group of misfits that believed. He blew it but that's beyond the point. We have enough horses to run with them but right now I don't think our kids believe they can beat anyone.Uh and maybe the fact they have been running their offensive system for decades and defensive system for at least 5 years. But, good golly, if you only believe in yourself, that is all you need.
