Once again, the Huskers have fallen short of our inflated expectations, as a team. This has been the case for most of the last decade. Sure we are not happy about it, but it doesn't do the team any good to whine about it, and it is not doing you any good either. There are two roads to take, one is realize we are not great and support them anyway, or the second choice is to b!^@h and moan about whose fault it is. Expecting the Huskers to win 10 games, when they aren't good enough to win 10 just sets everyone up for disappointment. We do have a sense of entitlement around here. Nobody owes Nebraska anything. We will have to work for everything we get.
Every one of the coaches and players want to be here to play for us. None of them is here to sabotage the team (despite some of the things you've seen this season). We are playing the best we have. If we can get better coaches or players, Bo will make the moves to get them. He won't keep a coach who isn't holding up his end of the bargain. Changes may be made at season's end. Bo won't let personal relationships get in the way of winning. He feels no need to be liked by everyone.
The team needs our support more than ever these days. It's easy to stand outside the stadium in your gear after a win, but we need to be there in the dark days too. Memorial stadium is not an intimidating place to play. The stadium only gets loud when the team does something good. The fans should be trying to make something positive happen by getting the team excited. If we beat Iowa State we should be excited we won rather than say, "that's more like it, we'll kill Baylor next week," and implode if it doesn't happen. From what has been said in press conferences the team is feeling pressure to be better than they are. Nothing good happens when you play under those conditions.
We need to quit being spoiled brats! We were not a great football program back in the day. We worked, thanks to the Bobfather, to get the program to where we wanted it and T.O. maintained that level of excellence. Well, believe it or not, it is going to take work, not whining, luck or prayer to get back.
The question is: Are you N?
