FLU

Our. Defense. Sucks.

The Butcher is correct -- glad to say that I came up w/ that nickname

BS I used that in a thread 5 months before gameday. And no one knew what it meant.

So, what exactly does it mean? If you can correctly tell me, I'll be glad to give you credit.

Nice drive...

Holy sh#t!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BUTCHER

The Butcher is correct -- glad to say that I came up w/ that nickname

Shoulda caught it

going for it??? lucked out on that one

4th down... nice job

3rd & long... come on, D

Fumble ASU recovers

ugh

Here we go.

I am happy with 9 wins, even though I don't think we'll hit that this year. If we don't win the conference in 2013 with all the talent we'll have and the schedule we have, I'm not sure when we ever will.

mock me

Exactly. Instead of being one unified front as I feel we should be (despite differences in opinion), I feel like I'm back in junior high/high school. Certain posters try to exert their authority or dominance over others, and a bunch of other followers without an original thought in their head pile on. Sad.

I think Flu sees things as they are, actual real time, with past performance verified. He sees things as they most likely will go. No less a fan than anyone else, just stating his thoughts.

 

Others do not want to see what is in front of them, refuse to as they are fans. Neither are wrong and neither are right, only time will tell who is and we have not passed that point yet.

 

I felt this was going to be a bad year from the beginning. Saw some of the things that worried me in the Southern Miss game, but thought things might get better with a higher level opponent. Not so much.

 

I am trying very hard to believe that Bo has improved his recruiting and that we will see a upswing in defensive production. I am just not sure that it will happen this year. He has improved the offensive talent I think, so it would seem with time he can get the defense back where he once had it. But there is a talent level problem, and very little experience. That is what hurts us so badly, we have players that have not truly seen the field and a staff that is learning along with them.

 

I still think this is going to be a bad year in Nebraska standards, but listening to some talk about the new talent on the D side, I am hopeful we will see the improvement we all want next year. Not giving up on this year by any means, but will take it for what it is, learning.

You sir, are a genius, and get my vote as "Poster of the Year." FINALLY someone who understands my perspective and actually gets it, without looking through scarlet-colored lenses.

I could care less about rankings. UCLA is a mediocre 6-7 win Pac 10 Team. We have 5 maybe even 6 games on the schedule against better opponents.

exactly what I said. Shhhhhh.... no negativity allowed

Yes FLU, you are a debbie downer. College football is way more unpredictable than the NFL and their motto is any given Sunday... To think this team, our team, can't buckle down, pull some heads out of our arses, and get some w's, at all? Then you just aren't a fan. And don't go telling me you are because you have a signed jersey, when in reality, I'll be there gameday with all my fellow 'Skers, win/lose or draw, cheering for my huskers not berating them or saying we're sliding into mediocrity, because I am a true fan. Not some pessimistic DUDE who seems to get his kicks from putting down his "team" and backing it up with "It's only cause I expect better" nonsense.

 

Well you know what FLU? I expect better from you.

Living in Hurricane Country has taught me one thing -- prepare for the worst, hope for the best. When you start out expecting the worst, anything good that happens turns out to be a pleasant surprise.

Michigan, OSU, and MSU are definite losses in my book

Wiconsin, NW, Minnesota, & ASU won't be pushovers, either..........

Yeah, I'm a Debbie Downer, blah blah blah

GAME OVER - I WIN

Django Unchained drops this Christmas... that's when you'll see what a pony really is. Those who have read the screenplay know what I'm talking about. Here are four "ponies" from the film...

Well, they have also reverted back to a "PG" rated product, which is much different from the Attitude Era w/ Stone Cold and The Rock, Diva bikini contests and makeout sessions. They are trying to make it more family-friendly and geared towards kids. I think that John Cena is a great role model; he does tons of work outside the ring (over 300 Make-A-Wish appearances... wow!) but I can't stand his in-ring character, so I always cheer against him. I thought Lesnar's return would bringtype a spark, but he was misused from the beginning and doesn't appear often enough to make any type of real impact.

Like I said, it makes no sense... you have young talent in the back who are begging for more TV time, yet you have a 62-year old challenging your champion. WWE is hard to watch these days -- hard to find anyone worth pulling for.
