      I know the facts, I simply find the 9 wins stat irritating. Particularly after this past season. With 8 home games, I find 9 wins this year to be unacceptable. I'm not saying "Fire Bo". I'm firmly on the fence on that one. Another 9-4 season next year, though....

  2. Your small-town/rural Nebraska term of the day: "the home place."

      I have never heard this "the home place" term. Is this new? And if it's new, how does something new exist in Nebraska?

      In yet another contrast, Nebraska self-reported a textbook violation that was hardly a violation and was solely based off some student's misunderstanding of a book list. The NCAA likely would never have known had we not self-reported, yet we were given two year's probation and are subject to the repeat-offender clause if anything else happens for five years after the report. Gurley didn't self-report, he was "snitched" out, and to my knowledge Georgia faces no probation ov...

      yeah, pretty annoying how the ncaa just enforces rules however they see fit. i think they are getting scared of offending big programs now because they sense their obsolescence.

      Except D-Line, especially if he becomes a pass rush specialist has less of a mental aspect to the game than DBs.

      When you D is designed to stop spread teams that throw it around––teams like Missouri––giving up yards on the ground is okay as long as you stiffen in the red zone. I would guess we'll see a different product against the run this year. Anyone in the know correct me if I'm wrong.

      So, you have no opinions of your own, only observations of what you think will happen. That makes it convenient to take little pot shots at people who are willing to share their opinion.

    3. TheSker

      TheSker

      My opinion is we played horribly on Saturday, the offensive line is offensive and I think the defense started to quit because they don't trust our offense or our linebackers. I also think my opinion doesn't matter that much because I don't have the cell phone number for anyone who matters in the decision. And it seems to me that there are pot shots all over a message board.....

      "You've got to be sophisticated enough in the business world to be competitive on the global basis, but simple enough for all your employees to be able to execute," Moglia said. "That is the exact same thing in football. You've got to be sophisticated enough to have the different type of answers you need to compete and simple enough for your guys to execute."

      sounds like people with nothing better to do made assumptions and created drama, when more likely there was little if not none within the actual football complex.

      Me thinks that zoogies isn't going to be happy until the Pelini era is over. I like reading what ya have to say but it's never very positive.

    4. carlfense

      I think zoogies might be a bit more realistic than many message boarders.

       

      I was referring to a few years ago when there was a slew of "the sky is falling" threads in the recruiting section. I'm definitely not saying there is no room for improvement. There is.

      I don't really buy the "It wouldn't draw people if it was on TV" argument either.

       

      Almost every Nebraska home game is on TV . . . but I still go. Even with practice/spring game, it's just as much about the atmosphere as just seeing the game.
