HuskersTK421

Worst thing is I really don't think anyone cares what happens in this game. That's what I am getting from people I have talked to.

I thought that was a good post. A win in the bowl game would be nice. Either way this off-season is a much needed reprieve. Hopefully things stay quiet during that time.

What happened with that reporter attacking pelini? I never heard about that.

I remember my Dad, he's gone now, had a "Tom Osborne Fan Club" bumper sticker on his Buick - back in the day when fans were going after Tom. He left that sign on his car for many, many years, I think he was very proud of Tom and the class he brought to the University. Class used to matter.

 

My Dad would never sport a bumper sticker supporting Bo. Dad would have just been sick after the Iowa game.

 

Dad played for the University a long time ago in a different time...........

Sorry to hear about your father passing.

 

Class used to matter? As in coaching with class? If your dad played for Devaney or before, there's a good chance your dad saw some of the same antics Bo has done. Everyone seems to think that T.O. and his staff were angelic with their behaviors. Although Tom wasn't vulgar (I'm assuming since media wasn't nearly as comprehensive back then), his staff had some good tongue-lashings and aggressive actions in them. This hat incident would have been a non-issue if the hat didn't break. Successful coaches with passive demeanors are rare and the ones that have the combo have at least a couple coaches on their staff that known how to let their emotions fly. If people don't have the stomach for Bo's emotions, then maybe people should look around at other college programs and try to see some of the coaching behaviors... many of those coaches display similar emotions to Pelini. You must look carefully though, ESPN doesn't hone in on most others quite like they try to villianize Bo.

Big bad ESPN is after poor, poor Nebraska. Should I get your tin foil hat? The guy was talking about how his dad felt about class. He didn't ask for your opinion on it.

Lots of variables here. Playing time, home sick, etc. Just wanted to point that out so maybe this thread will stay on track.

funny, all the Bo ass kissers said he wouldn't come here..... but he came to WASHINGTON? This is why retarded people ruin everything for everyone else. Thanks Bo supporters, we get to keep our POS coach for another year. Enjoy losing 5 games this year and more next year...

 

Wow. Just wow. Again, for those that missed it the first time PETERSON HAD NO INTEREST IN NEBRASKA!!!!! just because you wanted him doesn't mean he wanted you.

 

Your wishes mean nothing to the coaches who want nothing to do with this program. Washington was a good fit for Peterson, so he took the gig.

I am going to need proof of that statement.

I have a suspicion that many of the people on Team Bo don't really care about him winning championships.

 

There's a huge misconception that Bo supporters are 100% satisfied and don't want anymore out of the program. Nobody is satisfied and everybody wants to win championships. I just realize that the program isn't a cesspool just because it's not up to my expectations.

 

Thank you so much for this. I think we are closer to a championship under Bo than hiriing another coach. I also wonder what qualifications we would look for in a new head coach. If we do the blind resume test, wouldn't a guy who has never won fewer than 9 games, played in the conference championship game in 3 of his 6 seasons, turned a major program around in one year, and has had very few off the field issues and NCAA violations be pretty high on our list?

If they decide to move on, I hope one of the requirements is to keep the walk-on program. That is a big one for me anyways.

I think 1995 Redux has a good point. I would love to see a season opener against a bigger name. It doesn't need to be Iowa or any other B1G team but I think it would be cool to have a big game early.

 

 

Nobody plays their best ball the first game of the season.

Not sure why that is relevant. If you want to know why the SEC is always ranked at the end of the year, look no further than them playing conference games early and FCS teams late when everyone is beating each other up.

 

 

I quoted the wrong post. Here is what I was referring to.

 

I don't know man. I feel like the team is never ready at the beginning of the season. It seems like, for the most part, they don't play their best ball until the middle to later part of the season. Just my opinion.

I figured you meant to quote my post. Made me rethink how I looked at it. I was just focused on Nebraska not being ready to play and not our opponent. I am coming around to the idea though.

You can never shut Iowa up Lol. Just my experience with guys I know, but it's a fun time.

 

 

Exactly!

 

Whenever I fail miserably at something (like Nebraska on Black Friday) the first thing that I want to do is blame everything else (read all of the threads as a reminder). I would not care when you play Iowa because it would still be a game. Nebraska of today is not even close to what they used to be. If you would have played Ohio State on black Friday they would have hung 70 on you and may very well have shut your anemic offense totally down (like holding you to less than 100 yards rushing was not enough). Besides, I bet that Ohio State, Michigan, or Penn State would want to play a better team on Black Friday so that they could build their national reputation. Why in the world would they want to play a lessor team?

I just meant we still trash talk each other (the Iowa fans I know and me). No matter the outcome we still jaw back and forth.

I have seen some documentaries with Peterson and I really like the guy. I would be lying if I didn't say I feel like we missed out, but that's how it goes sometimes.

Couple years ago FSU and Miami played on Labor Day. Great game that everyone starved for football watched. Colorado plays CSU early in the year and thats a rivalry. Id rather see us get a break towarss the end than the early creampuffs and late gauntlet. Get Idaho State before Black Friday as a warmup and be ready for a Wiscy. I remember last year a push was made to move them to season finale.

I get ya. I would like to see a better non conference schedule. Makes the season more enjoyable. Plus maybe the team would gel quicker since they have to. I could get on board with this I suppose.

Interesting. I guess we will see what he can do at a major conference.

I don't like Runzas, but love Valentinos. Am I half a Husker fan? I really hope its my good half......oh wait, I don't have a good half.

That's blasphemy man. You may get tarred and feathered for that.

 

I apologize! It's just that I can't stand onions. We the cafaterial lady made cabbage buns in school (way, way, way back then), she always made a few without them. Now those I liked.

 

I've apologized to to our local franchise owner, and I do eat the burgers there, does that earn me a little slack?

Lol. I hear ya man. The rule said runza and the runza burger is still runza in my book. I say you are good to go.

I feel like the point being made is how selfish we "true husker fans" are made out to be. I think we all need to humble ourselves and stop being arm chair coaches. We all have opinions but none of them hold water behind a computer screen.

 

*Passes humble pie

That's not how I took that at all. Which goes to show how two people can see something totally different even in a simple paragraph. Nothing wrong with any of it man.

I sincerely hope that many of you are staying away from tall buildings, sharp objects, excessive amounts of pain killers, and Futurama suicide booths. I worry about some of you!

 

Is futurama a good show? Always thought of catching an episode, but never have.

Just a joke incoming.

 

Since I know I can get away with anything now, I declare myself emperor. I am going to need help so I fit barney cotton with a cool helmet and name him Darth. The players will now wear stormtrooper outfits. Barney must always say I am your father to Sam and Jake. Tim beck gets to be bobba fett and shoot a laser at a giant playbook. Whatever play he hits is what we run. I make pappy dress up like an ewok, cause nothing makes me laugh like cussing at an ewok. I cut all blonde haired guys from the team, because I know how that story ends. The media would be thrown in labor camps along with any who oppose my will. Their first task will be to start construction on my death star. Once that is complete we should be on track to win the national championship. Its a process so just bear with me.

 

Ha funny gif. I just kept watching it over and over laughing. To each his own though. Not everyone gets my humor sometimes. I thought it was humorous and that's all care about.

I can see both t.a and Johnny get playing time. I think beck will play a 2 qb system, unless someone really doesn't grasp the offense. Both kids have different attributes that they can bring to the table. No clear cut starter at this point.

What do you think, power option with tommy and read option with more pass plays with Stanton?

My Husker fandom goes back to those years when Husker fans were doubting TO, late 1980s and 90s. I backed Osborne. I was a fan of Solich and felt like his firing was wrong. I endured but hated BC and was glad when TO came back and hired BP. The BP experience has been frustrating because he has not progressed in the last few years and his Bobby Knight complex has continued. I went to Lincoln hoping to see a competitive game and did not even care if we won because of the BWW bowl possibilities vs Big 12. Then Bo acted like an idiot again and proved he can not handle himself with class in the face of adversity. In the hours that have followed fellow fans who have called for Bo to be held accountable for his continued bad behavior have been repeatedly demeaned an fans seem to be lining up behind Bo and totally excusing his actions. That has had a very chilling affect on my status as a fan. As I sit in a room surrounded by Husker merchandise it is hard to imagine not being a fan....but its starting to look more and more likely as the hours pass by.

Hey man don't worry about anyone else. Stick to what you believe in and hope for the best. So such and such guy doesn't believe what you do. Not a big deal man. So some guy says you aren't a real "fan" or blah blah blah. That person isn't worth your time and you won't be able to convince them to see things from a different perspective. Just enjoy talking or venting with the people you think are reasonable and forget about the ones who just want to get in a pissing match. Everything with our huskers will work out eventually one way or another. Just enjoy the ride and don't worry about what you can't control. Hope that helps and hope you stick with husker nation.

Could you imagine if drake Martinez was moved to qb? The meltdown from fans would be epic.

 

Honestly, though, Stanton sounds intriguing, because he won the elite 11, correct? Nothing against Armstrong, but that is saying something for Stanton. In the end, it's just potential. I just want someone who takes care of the ball and plays well consistently. Everyone wants that though, right?

 

I believe he finished 5th or 6th which is still great considering he made it into the Elite 11. The UCLA QB Asiantii Woulard placed 1st

Thanks for the info. I don't follow those things like I used to. What do they judge them on if you don't mind me asking?

 

It's an actual QB competition on ESPN. Trent Dilfer is the host and a few other former QB's are there as well. It's basically a camp. They go through tests like the 2 minute drill, hitting your receiver in a goal line or red zone situation, etc.

I see. Sounds like quite an honor to just to be picked so good for him. Thanks again man.
