Ready yet for that dose of reality?
-
This thread was ridiculous. Shocked that we still have so many koolaid drinkers. Likely fewer after this debacle.
-
You are spot on. It is called reality. I predict 4, possibly 5 wins this year. One of the them will Not be at Michigan.
-
Very good point. Anytime you read someone blaming it all on the qb, you know they 1) do not understand the game, and 2) probably never played the game themselves.
-
There are MANY others on the team who lost today. To single out and pin it on the quarterback is just plain wrong. How about we simply state a fact - Troy was better today than Nebraska. They deserved to win.
-
Agree - College kids today don’t remember when Neb was considered a good program. They were babies. 17 years since we ended a season in the top 10. The players on the opposing teams don’t remember that either - Neb is just another so-so team on their schedule. This is the “not-so-new” reality.
-
Correct - We only get to recruit - and the best athletes are still going elsewhere.
-
You made me laugh with that one - thanks!
-
That is what the kool-aid drinkers were saying last year. I recall that was a common theme.
-
Way too many of our fans do not realize that we are now a little fish in a big pond. Proof? Troy was just as athletic as we were, and they flat beat us - at our house.
-
Troy players are too young to remember when we were a good team. We were just another team on their schedule, they showed up and beat us. Not complicated.
-
Sure - if not for these refs we would be up by 50 points, right?
-
Seriously?
-
Akron, Troy, whatever
-
Mighty Akron
-
There won’t be as many magical kool aid drinkers after this game.
-
Is Akron a powerhouse?
-
All this talk about “blackshirts” when we lose a game to an average team? Is that what this program has become?
-
Not sure what point you are trying to make - ISU took Iowa to overtime last season, while we were embarrassed by the hawks. It would be of no benefit to schedule ISU and naively think it would be an automatic win.
-
We are not ready to play Iowa State. The only good reason to schedule a makeup game would be to add a win to the win column.
-
The last time the defense was on the field they gave up 56 points - to Iowa. Until earned, the term blackshirt has no significance.
-
My opinion? I say at least 5 seasons. He is undertaking a complete rebuild.
-
Agreed!
-
I read a number of our fans resort to the “we have more talent then the rest of the division” comment. Easy to say, impossible to support. Frankly, I don’t buy it when we win only 4 games. I look for 3 to 5 years for a turnaround - one recruit, one practice, one game, one year at a time. Unrealistic expectations will get us nowhere.
-
I like your optimism - I hope it translates to final scores on the field. I must say I am not as positive about the “immediate upgrade” part. A proper rebuild will take time.
