HuskersNE89

It all starts in the trenches, and that's where we're getting outplayed.

This x1000. Please please please start focusing more attention on OL recruiting/coaching or something. Our OL has consistently been getting smacked around the past 2 years or so

Jesus f'ing Christ. We can't even SNIFF their QB on defense, they get to TA within 2 seconds. So so so frustrating. This team will end me

We got lucky on the offensive PI call. Blown assignment should have given them the 1st. Ugh

Come the f#*k on Huskers

Ugh. That would have gone for a lot of yards. Like that play call

Just how long is that grass? They look slow.

Against Northwestern, at that. So pathetic

Classic Nebraska. Missed open field tackle

Westerkamp was so wide open.

Ya I'm not sure why TA felt like he needed to get rid of it so quickly. Had plenty of time

Didn't look like he even looked anywhere else

I've got us losing one more to either Wisco or Iowa, then losing in the CCG to MSU, but I wouldn't be surprised if we lost both of the Iowa and Wisco games

I don't suggest you play roulette my boy. Past events are not indicative of future results. If the ball falls on red 18 times in a row, what are the odds you will hit black this time? Still 50/50 'm I right or 'm I right???

 

You know, I feel bad for you just a wee bit. Your glass is half empty... I understand. You came, you saw the optimism spreading like wildfire. You thought you were throwing around some realism and you were actually overcome with pessimism. It's no big deal...just next time, I would keep that crap to yourself or at least change up your delivery. Not telling you what to do, just a suggestion. Can I engage you in a little wager? I would like your permission to say "I told you so" because as I said at the beginning of this thread, I would rather be one the ones saying "I told you" on the side of a husker win rather than on a loss. I am not superstitious, but I got a feeling... I could just have gas, but I really believe we are on the verge here. Enjoy the game. I'll have you on the back of my mind and praying that your foot makes it into your mouth by the end of the game. Start stretching!

Actually it's never 50/50 in roulette my boy.

But besides that, comparing the indicativeness of past results to future outcomes between a roulette wheel and a football team is pretty ridiculous. The Huskers are bound to drop a game or two to underdogs this year, just as in past years. Why not Northwestern?

I can't remember the last conference game where someone didn't get flamed for predicting a Husker's loss, and guess what? There have been plenty of times they've been right the past few years

I can't believe some people here are STILL jumping down people's throats when someone says "I think we'll still lose 2-3 more games". It's the same story every year. Everyone says "this is the year! Look at our schedule! We can't possibly lose to X at home or that crappy Y team!" Then we go out and sh#t the bed in at least two games we should win handily. I think this team is incredibly talented and has the potential to win out. Do I expect that? Absolutely not.

Anybody more in tune with recruting wanna give a quick breakdown of who we have coming in down the line? I'm hoping recruiting OL has gotten more emphasis the last couple years.

Alex Lewis is not living up to his preseason hype

Seems to be a recurring theme with OL. I always hear about some "stud" on the OL who is gonna be incredible. Yet we consistently can't give any more than 1 second in the pocket and can't get any push against opposing defensive lines that are mediocre or better

 

 

Great, now we have multiple Pelini's losing the game for us

That wasn't Pelini's fault. He snapped the ball perfectly.

What are you talking about? That was 100% Pelini's fault. When in the last two years have we EVER snapped the ball without the QB clapping first to snap it? TA never signaled for it. TA has been awful tonight but that was all on Pelini

Is OL recruiting an emphasis for us? Serious question. Never seems like it is but don't really follow recruiting that much. Seems like year after year our OL crumbles against good teams

OL is just totally overmatched. I think we've been seeing fools' gold with this unit the first 5 games

I don't know about you guys but so far I think Beck has called a good game.

*furiously knocking on wood*

typical pelini prime time game

Ugh. Thought this one was gonna be different. Of course not

Let the meltdown begin

OL play has been bad so far

These refs need to be held more accountable for sh#t like this. Absolute bullsh#t

Don't care about the money. It wasn't about the money. The university was stable financially.

It's ALWAYS about the money, one way or another.

Have we run the fake option read TE release play at all this year? I can't remember but seems like it would be perfect to counter the double outside blitz

Great call
