Born N Bled Red

Taylor Martinez says Hello....

That in a season in which seemingly nothing could go right, eventually leading to what will widely be know as one of the worst Husker seasons in the modern era, Big Red could still accomplish what Iowa couldn't. .... beating the Big 10 champions. Here's to the future! Go Big Red.

All the Nebraska boys they're doing it with. Bazata,Ott, Fisher. .. I know there are others. Smh.

So I got this idea.... The whole Glen fake out thing sucked. While this show does follow closely the events of the comic books, it's not verbatim. I think they writers know they have to keep Glen, Carol, Carl, and Rick alive. The rest are pretty much expendable. This of course comes into conflict with the whole lucille/ Glen/ Negan thing. So I think they do a character swap and switch the Glen story line there with someone else. - That someone else is-------------Rosita. Rationale- Rosita is a character who plays a big role-ish int he comics. However her character has been very much undeveloped in the show. She's a throw away character that viewers have come to know as part of the original group at best. That being said, they know her as having been in a relationship with Abraham- who just announced he's going after Sasha. Killing off Rosita after Abraham ends things with her, opens up the Sasha/ Abraham romance and lets you do some really cool thing with Abraham's character dealing with grief and guilt of her death, and how that affects his new relationship with Sasha and the rest of the group. Additionally, the death would likely have the same effect on the group without killing one of the fab four. Hence the reason for her recent increase in screen time. Other possibilities for swaps- Eugene, Morgan, Deanna, Spencer- other random Alexandrian.

Literally throwing the game away.

Come on man. No one here is against the team. You seem to blame them and give the staff a pass. Come on man, no one here is against the coaches, you seem to blame them and give the staff a pass. I keep the balance. I'll tell you when it's one or the other or both. Players have been in position to win this game and have made too many mistakes and not made enough plays to cover them up. Really...so when has it been on the coaches? The Illinois game. No doubt about it. The rest of the games have been a little bit of both. This one and last week was mostly all players. The tone of the game and mindset of the team is set in the off-season and Sunday-Friday in practice. That is on the coaches to build their culture. 10 months is plenty of time to establish a strong culture. Listen to how Harbaugh did it through tough practices, high expectation, and accountability in the same amount of time Riley has been at Nebraska. The players choose to quit on this team, but the coaches allow them. As a coach, you have to know this. This discussion of it's the players fault VS it's the coaches fault needs to stop. They are on the same damn team. You win as a team, you lose as a team. Thanks_Tom RR has it exactly right. This team, it's mentality, it's mindset, it's identity is built in the offseason and in how they go about practices during the week. That is on the coaches. Have the coaches made some good play calls or had the players in positions to make plays, but just didn't execute? YES! This season's outcome, both it's positives & negatives falls on both parties. You didn't read what I said. This teams mentality is not owned by Riley or his staff. It's just not. Maybe in some situations coaches are able to come over and infect the team with their mentality, but this situation was truly unique in my opinion. Bo Pelini was a different kind of coach, he instilled a very negative us against the world mentality, and the players really bought into a negative approach to things. Again, I don't think Riley has been able to get a hold of this team's mentality yet, and I don't blame him. It's evident when you see some of the actions of our players too, it's really not debatable that there are some lingering attitude issues. Dude quit every coach tells a team to ignore outside negativity wwhere ever it's coming from. Scott Frost just told his Oregon team the very same thing. You sound desperate repeating the same thing over and over. This season's results are on one staff. Mike Riley. Even a 7-5 season would have been accepted by most rational fans. This is a epic failure in coaching. That's all.

Maybe Riley is learning how to run out a clock correctly today?

Did I hear Tommy didn't even make the trip?

Did I hear Tommy didn't even make the trip?

Say what you will about Pelini but this is completely false. The only position Bo and co. Didn't frequently sub in and out at was QB.

This same talent won 9 games last year. These losses are on coaching. Plain and simple. Please step away from the internet.

This team has quit completely.

Coaches teach fundamentals. Maybe you've heard of this. I've not heard of this before. What are these fundamentals you speak of? Do juniors and seniors learn their fundamentals and techniques from coaches in their first two -three years in the program, or does a coaching staff teach juniors and seniors all new fundamentals and techniques in a few months of "actual coaching"? I realize the staff has been hired 10 months ago, but how much actual time have these guys had to rebuild these players fundamentals? Second question. Are we sure these players are good enough to be fundamentally sound, techni8cally sufficient football players? I swear you've found a way to plus one all your own posts. Let's see Bo took a 5-7 to 9-3 in 10 months. Uban Meyer took a 6-6 team to undefeated in 10 months. How long did it take Stoops? Harbaugh? Florida? This blame Bo crap is give him time, get his own players and lash out at anyone who disagrees with you is old hat. Get of your horse man. This is Purdue for god sakes.

I guess Purdue isn't still Purdue just cuz it's a new year either. Oh and Purdue also isn't a gimme right?

No offense OP, but I'm so damn tired of seeing this thrown out there. The teams we've lost to were the gimme teams that we didn't even consider losing to last year or before. What was the margin of defeat for Miami last year, or for Illinois the last two years? How bad do you think Michigan State and Iowa scores will be. My guess, we'll have lost 7 games by a total of 93 points this year, with Iowa (yeah friggin Iowa who needed our 3rd string team to play two years ago to get their first win against us in how long) and Michigan State (Bo always seemed to have their number) Dropping a margin of defeat of 40 points each on us. I'm admittedly a Riley doubter, but I pray for him and the team to have success every single game and am giving him the same chance I gave Pelini and Callahan, but damn people, please quit trying to justify loosing to the worst Wisconsin team in a decade, a mediocre at best BYU team, a Miami team that FIRED their coach mid-season, Illinois (freaking Illinois with their INTERIM coach, and Northwestern (after Iowa and Michigan destroyed them) by saying it was "ONLY by 13 points." If losing to those teams is being "really close," then every team that manhandled them like we should have is still that much farther ahead of us. This has been a terrible season, at least 3 of the losses are on the staff, and that doesn't leave me much room for optimism. WE ARE NOT CLOSE right now, and I don't know that this staff will get us there, but pray every game for a single sign they can. I got stupid and hopeful after Minny. Stupid me. Oh and what the heck happened to the QB guru O.C. that was supposed to fix Tommy. He has played worse every single game. What happened to not pounding a square peg into a round hole. We're doing it on both offense and defense. Sorry for finally spouting off my frustration, and thanks for not crucifying me. Peace.

Let's see 8 yrd run, shifty end around. Pass on 3rd and 2... apparantly we can't ever run on 3rd and short

You know what, I like our chances, we've managed to lose three, maybe four games, in which the chances of us losing were less than that. Haha believe me all of us hope that your "what if" is true, we want to see the best from this Husker team. However the odds give us a 2.5% chance of winning out http://espn.go.com/college-football/team/fpi?id=158&year=2015

I was reading this article, and it got me thinking. Bo, for all the issues (Please don't turn this into a pro- Bo, anti-Bo thread like so many others) could close out a close game with the running game. His teams always seemed to be able to burn up a fourth quarter when we had a lead with a steady dose of Ameer, Rex, or Roy. I know those three backs were amazing, but the offensive line had to have something left in the tank to make it happen. In this article, Hank says he should have put Stoltenberg in earlier last week, because he was fresh and could give us an extra something. This is directly in contrast with what Cavanaugh does with the o-line. So my question, is the lack of rotation on the offensive line, which Beck and Pelini employed and Cavanaugh does not, the reason we can't run out the clock with the running game? Is it talent? Or the coordinator just not trusting the run game? If you ask me, having a fresh-ish O-line in the fourth makes sense, and would be a huge advantage, but would require considerable rotation, which may stunt group cohesiveness.
