Win the big ten tourney

Really that far fetched? How are the other new hires doing during the soft part of the schedule? Michigan/Florida - obvious Houston - undefeated and contending Oregon St - getting routed Pitt - 4-1 Wisconsin - not good, but 4-2 Most of those hires, possibly all of those hires, were widely considered better than ours. Ours just baffled everyone. (Personally think Chryst makes about as little sense as Riley but some disagree.) Even if you ignore the idea of contending, which I would say is better left as exceeding expectations in a first year, 2-4 is simply not acceptable, and certainly not with this schedule. There is a good chance, largely depending on what Sparty does next week, that we do not play a top 10 team this season. Who cares? Riley is a completely different type of coach compared to any of those hires. It's been beaten to death but just let the guy do what he can whether it be bad coaching or dominating top ten teams. (Obvious) We have witnessed Riley's 6th game as a head coach at NU. Is patience something that people don't care for?

Damn thought that win was there but naturally taken away. We will be ok just have to show patience like we have every year. Things will come together at some point I believe in that.

Lets lay it on them like they have us.

Not a chance! Majority rules!

He's got a great gig. I wish I could make that bank with that performance. I have no clue what you're talking about. 1) Drew Brown was 2/2 in kicking tonight. 2) Didn't really have a chance to return punts or kicks. Explain. The coverage teams seem to be pretty good, as they were under the previous staff. The return game and the FG kicking has regressed. The play calling lost the last game for us. It really wasn't much better tonight, but we played what apparently is a bad team. Throwing the ball all over the park is not going to win any meaningful games here. Tommy played as well as I've seen him play. He missed a few easy passes, but he didn't turn the ball over like he normally does (2 last week). He threw the ball off of his back foot way too much tonight. Essentially, I didn't really notice him because he played well and did what he is supposed to do. Does the game last week have anything to do with the game this week? Nope. Also, I wonder why our return game has regressed... Open your eyes Mr. Negative. Do you really expect us to be perfect after 2 games? That'd would be extremely unreasonable and ridiculous... If we are successful under Riley you might as well disappear from any board you frequent because there will be no use for people like yourself.

Sounds like you got it right. See you in a week. No, You won't see me in a week unless someone wants me to respond to something, I will leave you guys to marvel at how amazing Nebraska is. You guys are cry babies. You guys post lots of smack and cry and whine when you get a little back, even if it's clearly just meant as good natured fun. If someone tries to talk reasonably you can't handle the idea that a "mid major" like BYU thinks they have a shot in the game, even when most of the posts I saw from BYU looked like they think it's more than fair to be the underdog in the game. Your fans seem polite if they think everyone in the room is worshiping Nebraska. I'm not buying the polite Nebraska fan shctick. Sorry guys. Your glory days are over. Every team has an off season conditioning program now. You are a great program who left a better conference to be in weak division of teams nobody cares about and you act like the CFB world. still revolves around you. Enjoy playing in lots of conference championship games. I think Nebraska is still CFB royalty, but you manage to get an even more inflated self view. Nice work. Good luck and I wish your guys a good season, but your fans are delusional. I feel like you've been reading some other thread and then posted this based on that other made up thread in your head. Seriously when we beat BYU it'll be like we just beat Arkansas State don't worry about us fans we'll be just fine.

Anyone else watching for the commercials?

So... the scapegoat for the football team's performance is the head coach. I'm not sure you know what a scapegoat is. Go team? I like mike riley

So Craigslist is where I can apply to be a ref?

We're looking pretty good tonight.

Would like.

If ameer can have a huge day I think this game is victory, depends how healthy he has become. His game is on another level at its best.

One guy expects 12 wins, the next guy expects 8. Somebody is wrong. The fun thing is, 1 more win would be equal to the last guys ceiling. 11 or 12 wins would be something this program hasn't seen in a long time. Yet, there's a first time HC coming in and there is actually someone willing to say it. I like it. 12 wins here we come. Or........maybe not. Or......maybe yes?How does 1 more win get us to 8 wins in conference play?I think his post relates more to Husker football.
