EXACTLY. I don't consider it being rude at all, it's passion and we should have a voice in what happens to our university.
This is football and the touchy feely stuff is getting old. Don't get me wrong, I feel deeply for these players but suck it up & play the game...that red N on the helmet means something!
I feel strongly about this. If you want to spend the week writing letters, creating websites, posting, making phone calls, holding campus rallies, etc. in order to voice your preference for a new coach, I'm all for it. But on Saturday, at the game, we should be using our energies to support the team.
If you feel so deeply for the players, don't make them feel any worse by completely disgracing the coaching staff they are trying to work under to win the game. No matter how much you think the coaching staff has disgraced itself, like it or not, the outcome of the games is in their hands. Try to put yourself in the shoes of the players and imagine what a distraction those kinds of chants (and boos for that matter) are on top of all the other distractions.
T.O. is in charge and we should all trust him to make the right decision at the end of the year. I certainly have enough confidence in him to do so without the help of the student section on Saturdays.
I feel for the players--that they had to be put through this and that blame lies squarely on Pedersons shoulders. To a certain degree I feel sorry for Cally cus' I really don't think he knew what he was getting himself into, it had to be tough knowing you were the 4th choice. That's the extent of the touchy feely stuff for me cus' when the helmet get's strapped on none of that matters anymore. Destructive attitude? Yeah I suppose that's the competitor in me, I played ball for awhile although not at UNL (not near good enough). My compassion meter is pretty tapped out after sitting through last weeks game...sorry. By the way, we stayed through the whole darn thing!!!
Im with you. I stayed until about half way through the fourth quarter. Voice your opinion no matter what it is sometimes your feelings are your feelings and dont feel any shame for them. I will chant for Bo because thats who i want to coach. I said getting rid of Bo was the worst move of the century four years ago!! Didnt think he should be hc but thought he should of kept his job!!
