Mel Tucker might be available soon after yesterday.

The remainder of our schedule is stacked with high quality opponents. We better play better against top tier teams. Have games against Wisky and tOSU and Minnie left. Wisky has 3 games left against top teams to finish the regular season. tOSU doesnt have it much tougher. But we did beat tOSU at home, albeit in 5 sets. Time to buckle down and focus.

Watched it again yesterday. In my opinion, it holds up as an action film. Sure, the plot is predictable and a bit cheesy, but that was the point. they replicated the first movie and did so with amazing accuracy. One of my kids asked me about the call sign for Rooster's nemesis, H_ngm_n and that got me to watch it again. Didn't take much!

I also think the move to the big ten hurt recruiting more than we realize. The games are just too far away from our base.

Just like Bret did with the Illinois clowns. He turned them from garbage to a 7-1 team in one year. They have not had a winning season since 2001. 

I don't think we have any right to call them clowns. 29 yards at home in a half? THe team gave the f^%$  up! WHo are the real clowns?

I learned that we suck. We really suck. I also learned that 1 win the rest of the season appears to be our peak potential and that it won't be a game we expect to win.

At this point, unless we can clone Nick Saban and bring him to Lincoln, it looks pretty doom and gloom. 

What would he do with this team? What could he do with this team? I think the answer is not much better than what we see every week. It's awful. Look at the teams we make fun of...Kansas, Illinois, even Minnesota. They are improving and we are going backwards in a freefall. That can't simply be coaching. It's systemic in my opinion. Our entire program is a shambles.

Serious question, why would it be so bad for NU fans to accept 8-10 wins a season right now?  It’s better than what we’ve had for most of the last 20 years.

Bielema is a good program builder, but he is really Pelini 2.0 as far as having true success.  Yes he won some Big 10 titles, but he did that when Michigan wasn't playing Michigan football and Ohio St when they were not what they are now.   Is this team better than those two?  NO..  Are they better than Penn St?  50/50 on that one.  Is Illinois better than most of the west right now, sure.  Like I have said a few times, this west division is the worst I have seen in many years.  Quality football not a requirement to win.

Now, is Bielema better than Pelini, yes, but is he really the guy who can win 9--10 games a year?  I don't know about that.  I will not say that after this season when Wisky is not good, Minny is not very good, Iowa sucks, Northwestern is really bad.  Bielema is actually a beneficiary of coaching in the BIg 10 when some of its power players are not doing so.  This season Wisky is down and Iowa is not very good.  Just not impressed with Illinois enough to think he is the man right now.  If Illinois wins the west this season and beats MIchigan or Ohio ST along the way then I might think differently.  So far the wins this season are not juggernaut wins.

Bielema went 12-1 in his first season, 9-4, 7-6, 10-3, 11-2, 11-3 and 8-5 at Wisconsin. He won 2 bowl games with top-10 finishes and lost 4 (he quit before the 5th). He took WIsconsin to the Rose Bowl 3 consec years - which is pretty ridiculous. Sure, he lost them, but I would take that in a heartbeat. Win the West, Win the Big Ten and play in the Rose Bowl every year ... where do we sign up for that business?! Do that and you have a shot at the CFP. A shot is all I ask. We haven't been competitive for far too long.

I'm curious how you never seem to put any blame on the players.  I know there are a lot of fans who never criticize the players, no matter what, so are you just one of those fans?

 

I am not saying the coaching was good today, but they are not the ones out on the field.

so it's bad recruiting and bad portal choices then...

Sure they can't match our history, but in what way is Nebraska a prestigious program in 2022?

we have been mentioned a whole lot more on national shows both radio and tv than they have! I mean, not in a good way, but going with the any publicity is good mantra

Who believes we can win 3 games to get to a bowl?

That is what I was hanging my hopes at until I saw damn Wisconsin sweep us like we are the number 40 team in the nation. I HATE THE ENTIRE STATE OF WISCONSIN. I WILL NOT EAT THEIR STUPID CHEESE.

Their gym, their crowd. They still have to come to Devaney later in the season. Don't get too dismissive, they are a really good team. That said, we do need to take a match from them - it's getting absurd

Maybe Michigan State can bring it against Michigan tonight and give me something to cheer about

There's always Volleyball

Illinois earned this one today. Made us look stupid

We still have 1 time out! Don't give up

O-line gave up early

could be worse, we could be OSU down 41-0

I'd rather play a box of rocks than Reimer at this point.

Is Reimer the dumbest guy on the team? He has to be benched

It's like we are on Oprah! You get an interception, and you get an interception!

so, we are going to play everybody at QB?

Welcome to the s**t show. Where you been?

Carving a pumpkin...watching just not able to post. So that wasn't the brilliant in-game analysis it may have appeared to be?

Damn! K-State is demolishing OSU...but without AM
