When the news came out on whites the spread changed 20 points... we are now dogs by more than a td

If you asked many people around me hours before game 1 of that season, i said "this is bad, things are not going to be good." after taylors first play i facepalmed as everyone around me was cheering at the tailgate, again saying "this is bad, this is not a good thing," I didnt suggest that I had everything laid out in front of me by any means, and no this is not a "i was right" comment, I just knew things wouldnt be good. I didnt know how when or what for sure, You are right, its stated best as I had a very bad feeling about where this program was headed... that was the point where I strongly questioned Bo's decision making ability and leadership Fair enough. And I was just asking too. Not trying to antagonize in case it came off that way. I was just curious cuz the end of 2009 and the beginning of 2010 was the most hopeful and exciting time of the Bo era thus far. Not sure any other period of time even comes close. I understand you have a hunch and are entitled to it, but I'm curious. What did you see or here that lead you to it? What about made you think that it could lead to where we are now? If of course that is what youre alluding to. Here is where I stood at that point of Bo's tenure. I was of the opinion after 09 that our D was good enough to lead this team to be a top 5 program and at least be in the conversation of XII championship and possible NC... From 09 ro 10 our offense only needed to be a smidge better, That side of the ball didnt need to do anything more but sustain drives, not turn the ball over and not put the D in sticky situations all the time. I felt that with Lee. although not an outstanding QB, could do just that. Manage a game, keep the team in favorable field position and not put ALL the pressure ont he D. I questioned Bo's leadership and decision making because I think he liked Taylors athletic ability but wanted to start Lee... but when Taylors dad literally walked in Bo's office and said they are leaving, Bo made his bed right then and there... It was just unfortunate that we couldnt see what could have been with a consistent offense that didnt turn the ball over and make the D HAVE to play lights out and create things in order to win games.

go royals..... I mean, yeah, we're stuck with this situation, it flippin sucks, and most of us want change... No, there is nothing we can do about it at this particular time, but we do have a voice... and our voice should be heard by Shawn and a change does need to be made. Hopefully, HOPEFULLY, Shawn didn't have the time to seal the deal with the guy he wants/wanted to bring in last season, so he kept Bo, and hopefully he is shopping or working on that change as we speak. If not he's just as much at fault as Bo and Co. I tend to think he wants to do something special and be responsible for bringing relevancy back to Nebraska

very well put

Have you not read this board the past ten months? Polo and several others have been saying much the same thing, in much the same way, all off season. In fact, NUpolo8 was saying very similar stuff during the season last year. If not before the Iowa game, then certainly during, and ever since afterwards. Maybe this time I finally did it well. I hope so, I used spell check and everything. Knapp, No, i have not read many of the comments in the football section for along time, i just pop in now and then... i just kinda quit because my opinion and thoughts for a long time were drastically different than most of the Bolievers ets. NUpolo, You did good!! haha

THANK YOU!!! nupolo, I have had these same sentiments for over 4 years. Ever since the issue with how Taylor Martinez got his job I have had an issue with Bo and this Program.... Since then I havent posted as much as I used to because I was chastised for my opinion on Bo and Taylor etc... I enjoy reading some things here and basically kept my opinions to the Baseball threads. I can appreciate that now, after 4 years of udder BULLSH*T that FINALLY people are coming around.... I mean for me its absolutely absurd that my favorite program, my heros of the college football world, the team I wanted to play for and would have died trying, i root for them to lose so the administration has no choice but to fire his ass... I honestly think last year the administration just did not get the guy they wanted and they decided to keep Bo because they had no better option, and they did not want to just make a change "just to do it" they want the right fit, the right guy, the right leader. Its sad to me that I get excited thinking about the prospect of this team losing so we can get a new coach and a new light to this program, A new feel, a new excitement, a feeling that the dream of even COMPETING can possibly come to fruition. We as Nebraskan's, want to be on the map, we are prideful and our pride is in our Huskers. Re-draw your pirate treasure map, 'cause the trail to the treasure is quickly disappearing. I think that is all we ask for, yes we were spoiled in the 90s and before, but now to ask for a program with a fan base, the money, the facilities not to field a team that is competitive enough to be proud of is absurd! The B1G sucks, our schedule sucks, and like NUpolo said, we will get that pretty little 9 wins and everyone will be happy... Solich was fired because he couldnt recruit and had embarrassing losses.... how many times have you been embarrassed as a fan the last 7 years... no seriously look in the mirror and ask that without making an excuse.... i can count on more than 2 hands... no how many BIG wins have you been excited and thrilled and proud of in that time frame? And I dont mean a hail mary come back win against the likes of teams such as Northwestern.... I can count less than 5. Big wins had to come against teams that had injured QBs like Ohio state, Michigan, and Wisconsin... Karma is a funny thing, the last several years Nebraska has scraped by the skin of its teeth on sooooooooo many games, is this the year that everything starts evening out and those "close" games the ball bounces the other way? I dunno but it came damn close this week.....

hit the nail on the head

this sux for sure... have some work to do...

i've been fortunate enough to get to know Milt over the last 10 years through business... He sits on a board of the company I work for. He has always been great around me. My favorite times were when we would be sitting down, drinking a good ol fashioned bush light, and it never failed, at some point in the night he would be finding a pen and a napkin and start drawing up blocking schemes...

comes standard!

well stated knap, for me there is a disconnect from the football players of old, to today... the simplest ingredient is missing. Killer instinct. Mean, tough, throw down guys, who dont give a rats ass about anything but dominating... Nebraska, and much of college football for that matter, is missing those "alpha" blood types. Like you, I miss it too. I miss the D on the field, knowing full well that they were not going to let anyone, not even the Peyton Mannings of the world go anywhere. The ball-hawking, head hunters of old just seem to be fewer and further between. To me, it seems that football as a whole, weather it be rules or just society, have become a buncha Nancy's.

i like it... better than the strategy of previous years

so im skimming through here... reading alot about armstrong and fyfe... whats the status of stanton?

From what I hear Milt is still battling... but things arent looking good. unfortunately.... things like this should not happen to such a great man... hed take the shirt off his back for you or I, why cant this happen to some scumbag instead?
