Slight difference with the '94 team, they had this guy:

we learned that one last year...

Oh, so, not only did Bo's D give up a huge # of yds(which they're "supposed" to do) to an MWC bottom feeder, they also did the things they are not supposed to do: give up BIG chunks AND TDs. I feel better now. No, I'm worried, for realz...worried.

RG had his big paw wrapped around the guy's neck, no can do dat...

IMO it was much worse. We were a 28 point favorite. I did not expect to give up 600 yards. I expected less than 350. This game was a disaster. What were you expecting from a defense that features 13 freshman/sophomores in the 2 deep? Some dominant performance from them? Most of them its their first time in a college football game. The expectations are unreasonable. The jump this D will make between now and B1G play is going to be tenfold of whatever jump we've seen in previous years - because those guys, in previous years, for the most part already had game experience and knew the system in and out. These guys don't. They're learning and adjusting to the speed still. That alone is a lot. We weren't expect 2012+...it's pretty simple. Do you think this defense is even CLOSE to being what it will be in B1G play? It is pretty unintelligent to think so, considering: first game for most of them, they are still learning the defense, and adjusting to the speed of the game. EDIT - Thats not to say that this defense will be "great", just that they are already better than last year and they have significantly more potential due to the youth and inexperience and improved athleticism. I'd be pretty surprised if Gerry did that poorly again - and ZA and Afalava were missing. Yea, I think they will be alot better in B1G play: next year. Looks like more talent on the DL but Randy Gregory is the only one that had me a bit excited. Thad is meh. Val? Hmmm, I dunno. Moss, Curry, well they both look fairly good in a uniform but who knows. Ankrah looks like same ol same ol--average. Because of the youthful inexperience, I don't see them turning much of a corner until mid season at the very least. They are going to have a rough time in the B1G this year, is my take. Oh well, there's more, but I dont wanna go into it. Gerry looks like he's going to be real good for us. I don't see much positive spin on a unit that just had 600+ yds put up on them by a MWC team and was essentially schooled by a good, though not great, B level QB. And, they nearly 'produced' a monumental, App St, NDSU level, historic loss for us. No, can't spin that one so well. If they are so talented, that shouldnt have happened, regardless of experience. The 2ndary looked like the rookies at times, quite frankly. Well, I guess Cooper and Jackson are more or less rookies and it showed, they got their asses handed to them on more than one occasion.

More like he is our present. He's right there with Ameer. our stable of backs (Abdullah, Cross, Newby) are going to be handful for a lot of teams... I wonder why Adam Taylor redshirted already. Does anybody know?

Uh, most predictions I saw, from fans, had us at 50+ to 20-, or so. Yea, I'd say it went alot worse than expected. I was conservative and predicted 41-20 and I now feel like somebody just stole my puppy dog...

Newby does look special. I ain't felt this giddy about an RB since DeAngelo Evans, in terms of raw talent and flash. Unfortunately, he can't carry the entire team on his back.

Don't hold your breath. This is not Blackshirt worthy defense--not even close. 603 yds for freaking WY, c'mon! Once again, we made another "B League" QB look like a world beater--how many times have we seen this movie?. And maybe I'm missing something, but I don't see them getting a whole lot better--the secondary play was the most disconcerting, I mean, I expected the DL to more or less suck and they didn't disappoint in that respect--the DL got owned. But the secondary was supposed to be the strength of the D, yet they were porous("poor-us") as a sponge. WY deserved the W just as much as we probably didn't. My cowboy hat off to them. Christiansen's O owns Bo's D, going back to '08 and Mizzou. It's gonna be a tense year. I am having serious doubts about Bo at this time. I'm going to spend less time wasting time ruminating and commenting on msg boards about "Big Red". This is Bo Pelini, this is what you get--a buncha herky jerky crap and "we didn't execute", "we gotta fix us, duhuh" type smack. We have enough of a sample size at present: 5+ yrs worth.

C'mon man, we almost made that 4th and inches in the 4th qtr that could have sealed the deal, give the coaches some credit...

xactly

H) We are spending a helluva lot more on football than WY and getting way less in return. I) Pelini nearing hotseat

Man, all these games today suck so far.

Not on the main forum, no. Possibly in one of the other forums. Ok, thanks, most of these early games kinda suck anyway.

you guys do game threads of other games?

2 for sure, TMaj and TArm. Adam Taylor is redshirting, what happened there? I guess we might see RK3 too, maybe before TA.

I taught my nephew everything he knows:

Is he saying GO BIG RED she is so HOT!

Hackable 'Smart' Stuff:

Breaking news: so much for seeing Adam Taylor: redshirt.

the sex change is really workin' for him, er, her...

I'm not sure how much we'll find out. Last year our offensive line dominated all the mid-majors we played. So if they do it again this year, okay? But our defensive line was pushed around by even Southern Miss last year. So I do think we can learn something from this game about our defensive line. Well, yea. One would hope our DL will push them around for a change and I hope we see a breakthrough player or 2, whether it be Ankrah finally realizing his potential, Gregory as a stud, Val(I doubt it), Randle, whoever. Step up! If our defensive line does dominate, obviously it wouldn't necessarily mean they'll do it against tougher competition, but I think it would be a clear sign of improvement. I'm also looking forward to finding out if Cross looks any quicker, and what Newby brings to the table. Also can't wait to see how many Wyoming kids it takes to tackle Quincy Enunwa. I think Iman and Enu are going to be studly.

Did they teach English at Sioux Falls Washington Warriors High School? Sorry, feeling like a smart ass today. I flunked out English course. you could try habla-ing spanglish...it's the new cool thing: hola hola, beotches...mi culo hurts from jalapena...

And lest we forget, the new guy with the name:
