Big Red Commie

One thing to remember about Key Sr. is the the podcast/radio show discussion from over the summer about Nebraska and Mike Riley. At the time, he said it didn't matter if his son was going to a school in the midwest that wasn't a powerhouse because that wasn't the goal. The goal was the NFL. He then heaped praise on Williams and Riley for their ability to prepare guys for the next level.

 

His interest in Nebraska's overall football success is minimal which, in combination of his affection for Riley, explains why he's defensive about Riley losing his job. The fan base and stakeholders, conversely, will not accept a mediocre program whose goal is getting some players to the NFL.

Daddy Keyshawn is a prima dona idiot:  like father like son.

Im SO excited I gots Frost on my mustache!  Oh wait, I dont have a mustache, its just FROOOST, WOOHOOOO!

OF COURSE(!) Riley was all "magnanimous" at his final presser, I mean he`s counting the dollar signs in his head just standing there!  Buyout City, baby, wow, what a "great" guy!

NE makes worst coach since Bill Jennings, w record setting lows in "achievement" a multimillionaire.

Only in America....

TRAMP has an America now?  Well, if it's all those f'ing stupid old white guys and Nazis that voted for him, they are gonna all die off soon, so, so much for "Tramp's America".  The p.o.s. will be impeached within his 1st term anyway and get his sorry ass and "his America" the f#*k outta there.

This is closer to the truth for me than the "old ball coach was a really good guy who just forgot how to coach football" bit.

 

Dang.  If any other state contract failed that bad, and walked away without remuneration there would be a state auditors investigation.

There should be some way to repudiate these exhorbitant contracts.  I.E. you lose X number of games in three years and your payments are null and void.

He should pay NU back for this year, 3 mil, whatever it is.

'Because he's nice' is a bit needlessly reductive. The answer is because people have different definitions of what constitutes greatness, and for at least some of us, Mike Riley's character, how he embraced this state and program, how he led young men, and a lot of other things that don't show up in a box score, count towards it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The only thing pathetic is this post and the mindset that it represents. This football season may be the worst you've seen in 55 years of watching, but your post is the worst and most disgraceful I've seen in my ten years on Huskerboard.

Could care less what you think.

I tried to listen .. but I can only take so much of Josh’s drivel..

Josh Peterson is a f`ing pain in the ass idiot, constantly intruding on Bishop.  How Peterson has a job is beyond me, hes unlistenable so I dont listen to US Conduct.

Damon Benning ttlt gets on my nerves too.

F U Mike Riley and get your sorry passive aggressive ass the F outta Lincoln and take that p.o.s.

 idiot Diaco with you--and I dont even want to hear anymore about his so-called "class" and "how well he`s handled the situation."

What a joke.

Bottom line:  3 years ago Riley and his wife are sitting at their kitchen table in Beaverland, NE calls and its like he won the f`ing lottery.  "He honey, should we ride it out here or go to NE for a few and triple my income before I retire?"  Wifey likes those huge Husker checks much better than those small Beaver checks!

He had no intention of getting anything done at NE other than getting much richer before he rides off into the sunset.

Its so pathetic I find it difficult to think about w/o getting furious, with his bulls#!t "nice guy" routine.  Its all been a big scam and Riley`s having the last laugh.

Worst, THE WORST Husker football I have ever seen in 55 yrs watching and Mike P.O.S. Riley will go down in history for it, whilst enriching himself far beyond what he could ever dream of or ever deserved.

What a scam, is all I gotta say.

I tuned in for the same reason.  The first 10 minutes had me captivated.  I was out hanging Christmas lights before halftime.....

 

If it wasn't my son's first game next week, I wouldn't waste my time going.  I would much rather spend the day with my parents.

Didnt watch.  What was the score at half?  How many picks(6s)?

Teams-any team, no matter how pathetic-hangin` half a hundred on us is the new normal I guess. Thing is, we have some excellent players on that side of the ball.  The wack job Fiasco must have them completely confused.  Well, the 1st time I heard him speak at a presser I knew he was an incoherent idiot.

Only a week more of this crapola and the bozos will be sent packin` and we can all break out our Frosty Mugs!

The D has completely thrown in the towel on Fiasco.  Worst NE ever.

Soon, the suffering will be over and all the bums(coaches) will be outta here, thank gawd..

It's not us defending him so much as you have no idea what you're talking about. If I don't think you're a good home owner, should I just get to violate the contract of your deed to that property and take your house?

Sports contracts are violated everyday of the week.  Maybe one day DONU will get sick and tired of making legions of hack coaches fricking rich, but Im not holding my breath.

Riley has a contract guaranteeing his money. So did the last coaches. So will the next coach. You don't, so it doesn't really matter what happens at your job.

f#*k his f'ing contract!  Contracts are broken all the time.  The guy isnt coaching anyway, so he has broken the contract right.  Why you guys defend crappy millionaire coaches dragging the prog into the gutter is beyond me.

Why would he decline any? He is trying, he is just bad at it! He will be let go because he is bad at it. He was offered a contract, and he is to be paid under the terms. It is called business, not some idealogical fairy land where you think people give back money if they underperform. Live in the real world.

"Trying"?!  Lol, thats the point:  he aint, not that it matters when he does.  Just when you think he couldnt go any lower on the achievement ladder, he finds an even lower rung, last week being blown out by Mini, whats this week, Shaq rushes for 1000 yds on us?

Naw,  hes just coasting into his golden parachute laden, buyout retirement.  Well, I says, cut off the cash now to the p.o.s. and dont pay the buyout, breach the contract, he isnt holding up his end if the deal anyway.  Hes supppsed to be coaching, he clearly isnt.  And hows he ever going to collect from the U?  Good luck on that.

In my job, if I dont produce, I dont get paid and get sent packin`.  Should be the same deal for these scumbag, conjob coaches.

That's ridiculous. Riley would win easily in court and Nebraska would struggle to sign a coach in any sport for years to come.

Better call Saul...

You are looking at this all wrong. The issue has been the administration offering these guys jobs. Riley did not swindle us into offering him a job.

Uh, he`s(they) still cashing the checks, he hasnt declined any....  Hes making big bucks to turn us into Oregon State-or worse

Riley doesnt even seem to care that he just got blown out by, some would say, the former worst team in the division.  Well, why should he?  He gets his big fat paychecks regardless of win or loss, he`s just gotta coast until his big fat buyout and sail off into the sunset, aw shucks.

I say they should fire his ass and cut off all money now, let him sue, tie him up and drain him in litigation for the nxt 5 yrs.  These coaches gotta be held accountable for coming in and taking a s#!t on what Devaney and Osborne built over decades.

After NIU loss, but Ill settle for yesterday.  OMFG, blown out by Mini, how is that even possible?!

I didnt even watch the game, caught the shocking score this a.m.

4-8, no bowl, buh bye Aw Shuckster and Fiasco...

I thought "Big Red Commie" was just having a bit of irreverent fun with their screen name and avatar, but he or she really talks the talk!

 

That might be the first Eugene Debs reference I've seen on Huskerboard. 

Large sections of the American population have at least read Zinn`s(RIP)"Peoples History of the Unites States", even many non-Southern high schoolers.

Mao is my biggest hero, though. Guevara a close 2nd.

Maybe "too groovy" for HB, I presume.

I learned that NU can bumble around 

and beat itself, oops, had already learned that.

Learned that NW, w only 2.5 skill players on O-qb, rb, 0.5 wr-can beat our Fiasco led D.  Whadda joke.

We are now officially 3rd tier in the B1G West division, fighting for scraps w ILL, Purdue, and Minny.  Riley and Co. have "Oregon Stated" us and are making big bucks in the process.

Smoke and mirrors, nothing to see here...
