I chose last week.

After seeing the stadium so dang empty during the 3rd quarter... I mean I've never seen that before.  

That was a slap of reality of how far they've fallen. 

I agree.  I don't get all the love being tossed at him.  

Watching OSU put up 44 pts by halftime today, and BJ having 5 of 12 passes result in touchdowns... sheesh.  

If Diaco holds them below 50 i'll be surprised. 

Grass is green.

Sky is Blue.

Riley is NU's coach. 

Soon, one won't be true. 

As i continued to watch after the second INT

And when the game was over

People who stop in doorways.  People who stop in the middle of the hallway or sidewalk where everyone else is walking, instead of stepping aside.  I'll often run into them on purpose and say "Oh, you stopped right in the middle!"  TAKE THE HINT!

Family members of patients who try to make it about them, instead of the patient.  

Drivers who turn and merge into the wrong lane.  If it's a two lane road, we should both be able to turn onto it.  Traffic would flow so much better if people did this. 

Drivers who don't check their blind spots, don't use blinkers, just bad driving in general.  

Fat people who diet for a week and suddenly know everything about dieting and exercise. 

Trump supporters. hahaha

I've been wondering why people go there for years now.  

I attend one game about every 10 years it seems, and all it does is remind me why I never go.  

Got playstation Vue this fall for football.  It's so awesome.  I can even watch the games on my phone if I'm out fishing. 

There's already so many reasons to skip the hassle and watch from home and having a pi$$ poor Nebraska team isn't going to convince anyone else to attend either.  

MR will probably finish the season out, but I have a feeling he'll be let go right afterwards.  Get a coach with a rep for winning, a name that I actually don't have to Google this time, and that will keep the butts in the seats.  

Winning = Revenue

MR y u do dis?

Careful. You're speaking too much sense. People will try to say you're a bad fan. 

You beat me to it. 

And that point has come and gone for me.  No clue why we hired this staff.  Never made any sense to me.

Since you're apparently so good at reading, maybe you should look at some of the comments around here. Furthermore, if you actually read my comment,  my comment is in question form as it relates to being a fan. The comments can make a person wonder. There is no preaching about how to be a fan, but thanks for preaching about what is important or insightful on this board. 

 

Whos the one preaching again? Pot meet kettle. Clown.

Name calling doesn't look good on you.  

Have a good night.

give at least some credit to our guys would be a nice start.   endless pissing and moaning might make the person who is doing it feel better but it doesn't help anyone else.   i hope none of the players see the crap that gets posted on here sometimes.

I was being sarcastic. 

No one here needs someone to "tell them" how to be a fan.  

In fact, if you scroll up a bit, you'll see I gave full credit to the players in this same thread.  I hate how people on this board judge other's fandom, if you will. 

We are all passionate about this team, we all want them to win.  If we didn't care, we wouldn't complain.  It's what makes us human, but 99% of us know the kids play their asses off and we cheer them on during every game.  

Please Please don't get on the soap box and tell people how to be a fan.  It contributes nothing to the board.  We all vent, we all have bad days and sometimes typing it out is a release, so I never judge anyone on here when they go off about something.  Sometimes you just gotta get if off your chest to other fans, which is exactly why this board is great, we have great listeners and many people feel the same.  So don't judge, just read, and take it for what it is, which is an upset fan.  

Thankfully we all agree on one thing: We want the best for this team.  

Go Big Red.  Have a good sunday night buddy *cheers*

Some of you come across as miserable fans. Luck? That is some of your answers. Are you guys even fans at all?

 

Please tell us all how to be better fans.  Thank God you showed up.

We have a team full of Lions that are coached by Donkeys. 

The kids didn't give up. 

I can't give the coaches any credit for the second half.  Those damn kids came out the gate in the second half and just went at it as Oregon become complacent. 

Heart is what made this game close, but heart without good coaching doesn't win games. 

Tip of the hat to you guys who wear the N on the helmet, you played your asses off and didn't give up.  Kudos

That was nearly word for word, every thought in my head today, as I passed by glancing at the TV today.

Thanks for this.

I learned that Ohio State makes far better coach hiring decisions than Nebraska.

Or from my view:

MSt 63

NU 24

Rush 80

Pass 300

 

There was another moment that stuck out to me. I believe it was an illegal procedure penalty on us. Instead of coaches yelling at each other, we got a sideline shot of Riley and Williams talking and figuring out who and what caused the penalty.

Sure, that is great and all but they had 12 penalties. When the number is a dozen does it really matter how the coaches are reacting?

 

Now...if next week it is half of that...I will be happy and it will show that their reactions could be helping.

 

This.

 

So on facebook the Husker groups are pretty colorful and stupid. A lot are logical but several are doing the blame Riley, Hire Bo back thing. I come on here and honestly if I didn't know better I would think we won that game.

 

But can we please be honest? That hurt. That was a heartbreaker in every sense. We just lost an opener for the first time since before a lot of us were born. And it wasn't to Alabama or Oregon. It was to an independent BYU. Not a team to sneeze at, but not a world beater either. To prove that, they had to do it with a backup freshman QB and several guys who were out. We had guys out too, but dammit we were at home.

 

Pretty much all I'm seeing is sad optimism. Not pathetic but we all want to think of it as a moral win. Well it wasn't, we lost even if it was an ugly way to lose. Sure, there was a lot to like. Really there is. Team could be really good. But there was a lot to not like being ignored.

 

I see the "We just wanted improvement" argument. Thats not all I wanted. We canned Bo for 2 reasons. He got stale, and he was a big meany head.. Riley is frsh start and super nice. But I wan't a damn trophy. The Bo haters are now using the same excuses to defend the loss that we heard were stupid excuses.

 

Yeah yeah, one game, we will get better yadda yadda. I just feel defated, let down. Damn I hate losing like that. Regardless, I like our direction and think we are going the right way. But this is not our return to glory, not this season. We have a long way to go and if we let the same growing pains we all saw continue, we could be in for a long year. So lets all continue being positive, I know I will try.

Exactly what every other team in America thinks of NU as well.

 

It was one game man. There were many positives. We looked far better than Michigan or Penn State or whatever.

 

If you were born after the last opening loss, then you have no perspective. Those of us born well before that remember the sixties and seventies, expecially after back to back NC's in the seventies.

 

Lots of people wanted Osborne gone. Had that happened (in today's social media frenzy he would have been) you and many others would have nothing to base your perspectives on now.

 

It's football, it happens. It's not life and death, and if it's the worst thing to happen to you this year, you are truly blessed.

 

GBR !!

 

I made that exact statement right after the game, and I got jumped on for it. I'm glad I'm not the only one who sees this.

 

 

Damn here we go again. There are only two camps. Those that love bo and those that hated bo AND wanted Mike Riley. I wanted Bo gone and and was not happy with the Riley hire. This game isn't changing my mind....

 

I liked Bo, but thought someone else might do better, if they made the right hire. It's obvious they didn't make the right hire.

The haters got what they deserved, an NCAA record bust, be careful what you wish for when you fire a 9 win coach. Present day Osborne wouldn't stand a chance against this instant gratification generation of fools.

 

Seems ironic to have these two lines in the same post.

 

I knew eventually someone would catch that!

I'm still perfectly content that Bo is gone. To Stu, who says it's obvious we didn't make the right hire, making that judgement after a single game is a little... idiotic? Ya, idiotic.

Please Riley, prove me wrong. Seriously. I would love to be wrong.

No sarcasm, I really don't want to be right about him being an average coach.
