- Our D will settle in pretty well after some jitters. 

- Our O will start right off with the right precision and good blocking.

- There will be fights.  Field and stands.

- Coach Showman Sanders will rail against the officials.

Too funny.   And too scary as to ... it being quite possibly spot on.  I know I know, just one game under his belt.  sigh But yeah... there is familiarity to this. 

Anyway, GBR, etc.. so on, so forth.

Historically, in my life, I've always felt that the GOP was "The Olde Guard," so to speak, even though I was not in their company issue for issue generally.  They had character, mostly.  I hate thinking about some of the things and people that chipped away at that (Nixon, Reagan, and now Trump), but the feeling remained until this Trump person came along and just wrecked the whole thing. 

The delight at what he says and does astounds me.  I don't get it, unless I compare it to those guys in grade school who delighted in jumping people after school or loudly making fun of "cripples" or those with speech issues etc.  He brought out tens of millions of them in our country to vote for him and take up lying slogans and strange misinformation about the most fundamental things;  they obey him.  They fight for him and any who repeat his lies. 

So, "the future of the Republican Party" is here, unless common sense can somehow offset and prevail.  I don't know how that can happen now.. I don't see a path forward for conservatives who are not Trumpies. 

Fluffs with their caffeinated teeth grinding lip chewing neurotic Head Coach gave up over 40 points to a ragged TCU in their (lucky) win.

Nebraska Cornhuskers: 28

Colorado Buffalo Flop:  24

Deion is gone to FSU as soon as it comes open

 

Rhule might stick around longer as long as fans don't drive him out (and he can keep White here)

 

Remember when fans wanted Aranada from Baylor? They just lost to Texas State

 

 

Heh.  Yep.  And we're beyond pining for and chanting in unison for some former "failed" (not Frost of course) coach, aren't we.  Well they're all too old now anyway.. it was that long ago.  

Rhule's fine.  Good old fashioned build it up gradually atmosphere.  This "prime" guy is good old fashioned flash, and things that flash burn out rather quickly in many cases.  Chugging Red Bull and Monster did work in the TCU game, and I'll bet he'll win several more this year.. plus following a 1 win season makes him a hero if he only did what Frost did here.  But I have the feeling his PR persona and its effect on the team, a great effect, will collapse at some point.  I do like his cleaning house attitude right away, though.  

But I'm grateful we've got Matt Rhule, not that I'm over his freaky one score loss deja vu thing in Buckyland.  Oh well.  I think long term he's a far better bet than Sanders.

Rhule or Sanders

ha ha ha hahaha ha ha ha... HA HA HA HA HAHAHA HAHA... HA HA HA HAHAHAHA HAHA... HA HAHAHA HAHAHA HA HAHA HA!

Well heck. I did not know that Rhule threw 3 interceptions and lost a fumble. Apparently you must think that is what he is coaching his players to do.

 

First. Frikken. Game. 

That was a large portion of my point, Einstein.

You can criticize when you learn to spell is name correctly

Yeah.  I'll learn to spell is name correctly.  

Hoo boy.  You know, there's a long ways to go before we can justify much criticism of Coach Ruhl.  How long?  Well.. a couple of seasons?  Three?  Main thing is we have tried singing the praises of a lot of coaches in their first few losses for us.  Always saying he needs more time etc.  Blows an easy win at the end of the game with... whatever that was.  

Yeah it's just one game.  But... here we go again.

Our only TD came off ‘razzle dazzle’

You appear to have made my point.

It said I could not edit.  I wanted to bring up Crouch's razzle dazzle successful play.  But that is not what won us games.  We know what won us games over and over again.  It was not razzle dazzle.  Having fun with a fumblerooskie is okay now and then.. but you know what I mean.  Now it's all we've got for a score?

My last post was disallowed.  Oh well.

True.  But it's not needed if we'd just stick to fundamental football.  That razzle dazzle looked stupid and desperate. 

D looked fine, generally.  Buckys did not cover the spread, and scored much less than their average.  What bothers me and others in the room as we watched, is the almost Callahan-like attitude and play calling by Rhule.  Basic good Offense hard football was all that was needed in that last minute.   Sad.  I wonder if he can ratchet back and teach himself something about Nebraska and for Nebraska. 

eh rant over...

Basic football offense in the last quarter would have won that game.  Razzle dazzle is not needed. 

Smoldering embers of the old dumpster fire regimes remain:  Find a way to lose, even if you have to wait until the last few minutes. 

Please examine, identify, and douse, Coach. 

...meep...

I agree with the original post - Rhule is building something and it may will take time - but there is hope - not the false hope that we had with the former head coach.  But hope being built on a solid foundation.  I'm crossing all fingers and toes for a win tonight.  

Yeah.  My worry isn't the new coach.  It's the avalanche of Old Culture that has developed over the past 15 years(?), maybe 20.  That's a lot of recruit-to-senior cycles.  If we do a count on the guys left from the old sad regimes, we acquire hope at how few.  But it's way too soon to acquire confidence based on what the OP (meticulously) outlined for us, imo. 

Sounds cliche but I'll bet our third year into this regime will look pretty danged good:  8 (or 9) wins?  Coach Rhule is trying to remove not just old attitudes and habits, but an atmosphere, a strange atmosphere of some sort that's hard to even define now.  I'm sure he knows all that and is proceeding accordingly. 

Bucky teethed guys only allowed an average of 14 points per game last year.  Yipe.

People spouting the 'bad record against ranked teams' narrative have no time to understand that most of the ranked teams he faced were in his earliest rebuild years.

"have no time?"  I've got time.. I don't know about the others "spouting the narrative."  Heck I've got lots of time.  Enough time to see the former FROST ALERT! cadre positivity about a coach being lathered with the same (or similar) hope as the lead-up days to the spectacular Scott Frost failures here.  You were quoting his record in .. THAT conference.  And some here were giving analysis that included his resume in other venues.  

My goodness, aren't we as Husker fans the hopeful lot, even those of us who want to take the edge off all the talk about what he's doing and saying before his first season here by pointing out MR's dismal record against ranked teams.

A lot in this thread about MR's recruiting.  Not much about his coaching abilities and dismal record against ranked opponents.  I love what I see him doing and hear him saying, but... yeah.

There are others who think the Lakers wouldn't have gotten this far if they were still relying on Westbrook for anything. 

I can't find any of those others.  How did you find them?  I tried google and alta vista.

Nothing wrong thinking LA was going to win.  We all got fooled into it. 

 

I think everyone thought LA would win because that's what the league wanted and expected them to do......and the Lakers are a really good team. 

 

I mean, even the NBA commissioner (Silver) was at the game with Disney/ESPN CEO (Igor) sitting next to him..... in Los Angeles for game 3.  

 

However, the Nuggets didn't get the memo that they have to lose, and proved they are the better team.     Poetry

There are some who felt that LA didn't have their mojo anymore and .. well, for good reason:
