Husker fans bitched, whined, complained and begged for Ozborne to throw the ball more. Now the most knowledgeable fans in college football want Nebraska to run the ball more. Just goes to show that there are more stupid Nebraska fans than knowledgeable fans. Plenty post here.
I'm about fed up with your ass kissing Riley at all costs BS. I, and most posters hereabouts, can acknowledge both sides of the coin. Yes, Tommy and some of the players had their shortcomings but, if you can't see where Langsdorf and Riley and Banker also failed with game management and play calling issues, you might need to re-watch our games and get a little smarter yourself. Your shtick is getting old.
It took 9 games for the players to buy in, when they did, Nebraska played pretty well. The coaches did the best they could until that happened. I get plenty tired of the Nebraska staff and administration haters like you. To bad you don't like the team you claim to be a fan of instead of spewing hate and discontent about them.
Well, that shows what you know......not much. I like Riley. I like Langsdorf. I like Eichorst. I don't hate them. But I don't blindly worship every step they take and I can recognize the mistakes they made. What's your excuse?
Don't need an excuse, I see the progress they have made with the talent they have had to work with. The bitchers like you and others I have no use for. If they have failed in 4 years, then I will be there to hold their feet to the fire. I will not call for them to be fired after 3 games like many of the dolts that post here.
I put about 20 on my ignore list for that very thing. They never gave the new staff a chance. Many weren't going to be happy with the Riley hire regardless. That ain't me. I was excited to see what they could do and I wanted to give them a couple years to prove it on the field. But yeah, my time line got severely shortened when I saw some of the stupid things they did that had absolutely nothing to do with "player buy in" or "existing skill level" or "having their guys". You don't need those things to call a f'ing run play at the right time. You don't need those things to manage the clock. Fact is, there is a reason this staff is flirting around .500 for their career. I didn't want to believe that but I watched what they did this year. It ain't going to change. I am fully convinced of that. When you've been coaching that long and can't grind out the clock, are afraid to call a run play on 3rd and 2 in a 4 down situation, actually get worse on penalties than Pelini's teams, well there is a problem that player buy in won't fix. If it took the players 9 games to "buy in", and that's what your prefacing your whole theory on, then please explain what happened in that Iowa game. Iowa was a solid, steady team but they sure as hell aren't any top 5 juggernaut. Sure Tommy screwed the pooch in that game and that didn't help. So your position is to call people, who hold the staff responsible for their mistakes, haters and claim we don't like this team? While you throw player after player under the bus and walk around with your head up your ass when it comes to the mistakes the coaches obviously made? That's pure bullsh!t. You go ahead and give em 4 years. I'll tell ya right now, they aren't going to last that long unless there are a lot more people like you, in positions that matter, that will completely ignore how they contributed to about 5 of those 7 losses.
I pretty much cleared out my ignore list but I guess I've got one to add to it from the othe sidea of the fence. It is the perfect device for people that don't know what the f#*k they're talking about. You'll fit nicely.
