REDSTEEL

I doubt Husker fans will all of a sudden have a great respect or deep hatred of Iowa if they either win or lose Friday. It's not hard to imagine Nebraska losing a game with their 3rd string QB and the mash unit of 1st through 4th string OL hurt.

Um .... no. The top 25 tells a different story. Other then Michigan State (Which the Huskers gave the game away IMO and is vastly overated) Who else have they played in the Big Ten that in the top 25?

I don't agree with this comment da skers, sorry! I sit with a bunch of family members of players and that is not at all how they feel? Not sure where this sentiment is coming from? Yes, we have bad fans that spew their sh*t now and then but a majority of the fans usually turn to the mouth piece with a look of disappointment and they get the hint. As for the twitter feeds, that is the (faceless fan) who has nothing better to do. This board is a good representation of Husker fans where most everyone wants the best for the program and airs our concerns with some tact. I believe if someone here on this board was to act like one of those (faceless twitter) posters and spewed the kind of comments that you are referring too, knapp and other would show them to the door just as what is done at the stadium? If what you are saying is true for the section you sit in, I am sorry but I don't think it is a representation of much of the fan base but probably a very small %. Its from the locker room. I won't give the names right now because a couple of them are JRs. But follow Bell, Mitchell, Carter, etc on twitter and you will see them questioning adults taking shots. Many of the Texas players past and present feel that way. There was even a time when Rex thought it was getting pretty bad here. Yes some of it has to to when things aren't going well health or playing time wise but then the fans pile on. And its not the objective critics that bother the players. Guys saying Cotton needs to become a better pass blocker, VV has to get in better shape etc. that gets to them. Its the personal attacks. It really started to pick up in the Billy C day and has continued. Niles Paul would probably have told you at one point that he wished the fans would all die. Its a point of frustration and sad they get to that point. Yes there are certain players it doesn't bother or that are in the shadows and they don't get a lot of the hate. There are also some kids that care more about the program and the team than the fans do so they do a damn good sales job about how great it is here. yes and no other teams/staffs have to deal with this sh#t either, right? Does that all of a sudden make it okay? "Oh, every staff has to deal with this so it's no big deal..." Garbage. The world Herald used to have in the paper Fans of the Grandstand and people would write in and spout the same things they do today. Fans complained about TO and Charlie McBride all the time. I don't remember them putting the fans down during Interviews. I wonder how TO would have reacted if one of his coaches came out and said "Who has a good relationship with fans in this program? If Beck thinks like that here, I can't imagine he will ever make it as a HC anywhere being that thin skinned. He should check out sites like Shaggybevo

Absolutely he has. No doubt about it. Husker fans, maybe not all but a large portion, are more fickle than most fans. Relationships are a two way street and the problems here aren't all on the coaches. The days of the Big 8 playing maybe two decent teams a year are over. I consider the BIG 8 teams we faced back then better then the ones that Nebraska facing in the BIG TEN now.

He should have took the sack at the end of the half instead of running out of bounds and giving Wisconsin time to score again.

You do have to wonder whose bright idea was to use a guy that had hurt his collarbone and a bad shoulder to catch punts. There has to be someone on the team that would be better suited in punt return situations.

Any momentum Nebraska could have had is now wasted on their first possession.

Maybe BO's good at scratch on the plus side.

Maybe special teams needed nap time.

I tried to care, but failed

I wouldnt rate Burkhead in the top 10 of Nebraska RB history. He probably rate in the top 5 of the last decade which is more of a sad statement of the last ten years then anything else.

It was a game and glad Nebraska won, but there was not the euphoria or accomplishment I would have felt haven beaten Oklahoma or even the satisfaction of beating Colorado again. It felt like playing Kansas for the last game of the year.

special teams played well special.

no way that should happen,

wow

wow kinnie caught it.

this is a win for NU in my mind

worse thing u can do is make a running qb a pocket passer.

will be lucky to see another possesion other then a kneel down.

Did you mean yards he's allowed to throw?

This has been a Kansas ugly kind of game. Hopefully they don't take it out on the Husker Hoops team.

bad spot.

This does remind me of the Missou games in the 80's and 90's

That was Nebraska fans causing that screwup

nice tackle
