The lack of passion takes the joy out of it. I prefer college ball, but just find it difficult to enjoy low stakes games between two bad teams.

Terrible football is not fun. I would not watch two loser teams. I watch Nebraska because I care about the program, but I do not watch loser teams I don’t care about.

I would be surprised if there are that many bowl spots available.

Winning is fun. Actually being competitive is fun too. Terrible football is not fun.

Would I watch? Probably. Because I’m insane. But while I get that point about most of the bowls not mattering because national title is out of the question, I only buy that to a degree. I mean if that were the case, why bother with any bowl outside the playoffs?

I will grant that penalties were better, which I was pleased to see.

So far, can’t complain. Creighton, even if they have been exposed, will be a great test to see if this team really is legit.

I get I don’t have a say in it. I’m saying what I think should be, not what will be.

I’ll be frank I am of the mindset that there are way too many bowls right now anyways. So if there’s not enough, I’d say yes get rid of the Car Care Turd Bowl or Mowers.com Mediocrity Bowl.

I think that’s not fair. I get the thinking, but a bowl is a privilege, and I don’t think losing teams should have such a privilege. Six wins is all it takes now, and if you can’t even achieve that, you don’t deserve a bowl.

I’m certainly not going to panic, yes. If we fired Rhule, that would be madness, and there’s zero chance that happens anyways. But the honeymoon is well and truly over, and I feel it is very justified to be very concerned at what we saw. edit: and absolutely, if we even saw some improvement, I would have been good with that. It seemed to get WORSE.

There is no excuse for any season where you have the worst turnover margin in the nation. That’s never excusable. It’s ridiculous to be hopeful in light of that.

I don’t know, but they clearly did something we didn’t. Again, the season one excuse only goes so far. Look if we just got beat in each of the final four losses, fine. I’ll grant Wisconsin, we didn’t turn it over. But Maryland, MSU, Iowa? Inexcusable. Inexcusable to lose like that, shooting ourselves in the foot. Those are not losses that happen with good coaching. Now maybe Rhule does turn it around. Great. But right now, my confidence isn’t there because I saw a team that made zero improvement in the mental department. Good our defense was good. That’s great. I wanted most of all to see a team that STOPS BEATING ITSELF EVERY GAME. Hell, win just one of MSU, MD, Iowa, Minnesota. It’s not even the losing season. It’s the way we lose. It’s been years of this. Decades of this.

I have seen other programs quickly fix these issues so I don’t want to hear it. You would expect at least some improvement yes? Worst turnover margin in the country. That’s inexcusable.

I am serious on my opinion that a losing team shouldn’t go to a bowl. But really, I’m just exhausted by it. Every other team with any history of success in the past 50 years has been able to bounce back except us. Even Washington is back to being great. It’s absolutely demoralizing. And before you all say it’s just Rhule’s first year, it’s not the losses. It’s how it came about. Stupid mental mistakes. Turnovers. The same crap that should be fixed day one that hasn’t been fixed for 21 years. Why should that inspire any hope? I accepted that our QBs sucked. I accepted the weaknesses. That’s not the issue. The issue is that they keep beating themselves. Every season, every game that’s the story: they beat themselves. That is why I’m concerned. We’ve seen this before.

There’s not much bright spot when you have another losing season.

Even if we could, losers don’t deserve a bowl

D. This is a bad football program, with bad coaches. Defense was good. That’s about it.

Remember the schedule next year is far harder, we will lose the last 5 games for sure.

It was all paper thin. Remember how they’d get annihilated in every game that matters?

I am mad at the team but you really can’t attribute any of the points given up to the defense.

To be sure, Bo Pelini sucked too, he just benefitted from a stocked cupboard and then coasted on weak schedules. Yeah he’s the best since Solich but that ain’t saying much.

No one else in the country cares about volleyball, can we stop with this?

No you see this time it will be different because he makes good speeches
