Bah...we're gonna get smacked around, run over, and scored on - lots.

No - it wasn't luck.

I'm with skersfan. So much so, I logged back into this site just to express this. Thanks for sharing

Well, I'm right there with you. I opened the Eichorst thread first and....well......

Yep...pretty simple concepts here that you would think they would have discussed at length before offering this guy his contract.

We're not getting Chip. More than likely, he'll either go to Texas or Miami. Can anyone think of a logical reason anyone with any credentials at all would even consider a job here given we just fired a coach who won at least 9 games each season he was here and we fired his replacement at the end of one season? Given those circumstances, I'd think almost anyone would run from this job if this were to occur. There are a few NFL coaches with college coaching experience that might be worth pursuing

Who is "we"? You own this board? Didn't think so. If you don't like my posts, you have the option to place me on ignore.

Nah...I just thought it was interesting that they even track this stuff. Never mind.

I don't think our A.D. understood Husker football when he hired Riley. Maybe he "gets it" now, but the damage has been done (Riley and staff should never have been hired)

Not sure if this is relevant, but I found it interesting nonetheless. Source is reliable (in the spirits business). Of course this is early, maybe orders will increase later this week, but so far the trend is down.

Nope, booing isn't bullying...not even close. I'm staying home on Saturday and my family's seats will be empty, so I guess I'll just boo at the tv. At this point in time, the Program looks weaker than ever before...what a shame...we could have hired so many higher skilled coaches back in January (unless the big bucks really aren't there anymore - information that none of us would be privy to)

That would be wonderful (retirement), and would take care of the contract buyout problem.

This is a must-win game for the Badgers...they'll be pumped for this one. I think this will be a close game, as in whoever wins will do so by less than a touchdown...actually my guess for the contest was Wisc 16 Neb 14 I could see us losing this on the final drive...sick thing is, I almost expect it.

You probably can't guess how much it costs me for tickets between the 40-50 yard line...if they play & coach like sh*t, I'm booing. If you boo the team, you are a douchebag and you can go f#*k yourself like StPaul stated earlier. I don't give a f#*k how much you pay for your tickets, how good your seats, or how important you would like us all to believe you are. Boo the team and you're just a low class douchebag. Pretty simple. Based on your posting history, I expect you will be booing.....if you even go to the games.

Tommy is the main reason we have lost 3 games. Don't make me go into it again. Coaching gaffs no doubt, but Tommy can really muck it up sometimes. I disagree...lots of blame to pass around.

Yep. When a team's starting QB loses faith in his coaches by week 5 and starts to call his own plays...well..."Houston, we have a problem."

You probably can't guess how much it costs me for tickets between the 40-50 yard line...if they play & coach like sh*t, I'm booing. money can't buy class Simply pointing out that the backbone of this program (the fans) invest a ton of capital into this program every single year...without fail. With our investment comes expectations with regards to EFFORT and FOCUS from both the coaches and players...if we don't see these two simple yet critical attributes on Saturday (considering what we've been through these first five games), many of us will likely "boo" Again, I would much rather cheer...but my enthusiasm doesn't keep coming unconditionally. BTW, I never booed Callahan or Pelini coached teams...not once. But this sh*t-show we have right now is horrid and it doesn't look like this staff has what it takes to turn things around - only a blind fool will deny this.

You act as if there's something wrong with that.

Dude...we ain't beating Wisconsin.

You probably can't guess how much it costs me for tickets between the 40-50 yard line...if they play & coach like sh*t, I'm booing.

If they play and coach like they did against Illinois, yes, I will boo...often and loudly. To be clear, I'd much prefer our team play in such a way as to warrant me and those around me to do nothing but cheer wildly...all game long.

It feels like you didn't really add to the quality of this thread.

I agree with your take on the rest of the season except for the Purdue game...I see us losing that one too, putting us at 3-9 for the season.

Yep...that play did it for me too. Running Janovich around end was about as stupid as it gets - further highlighting for me the ineptitude of this staff. You don't try to stretch a defense with your FB.

No, it would cloud the results of my experiment :-)
