DO NOT PASS ASSHATS

ok dial up the passing game

im still so pissed about that series on the 5, I would have been happier with them getting stuffed 4 times...honest to gawt.

I wonder how funny Riley will think this game is

he'll get his ass lit in the presser for that's series of calls on the 5 yd line...

sweet gawd how has he gotten this far in his career..?

that series of pass play calls on 1st and goal will prove to be the turning point in this game.

loss # 5 on these dumb ass coaches...

I'm convinced we are not a bad football team in theory, but we are being guided by the blind.

the fact we are in this game completely supports this statement

and that call on 1 st and 2nd call is precisely why
riley and staff are considered incompetent. dumb dumb dumb

_{run the god damned ball u dumsass}

i hate he bubble with a passion

 

 

 

 

 

and that's it. i predict 38-13 as the final score.

Shut the F*** UP!

you shut the F*** UP!

Both of you stop it.

 

 

......or so help me God, I'll stop this car and come back there and paddle both your behinds.

Wait till your dad gets home !

 

Son, go get my belt, now.

I hated when I had to get my own spankin implement

3-6 and that stadium looks ike it #7 vs #8

yeah for me its not necessarily about the losses......its about a whole lot starting with HP and SE, manifesting itself into multiple game time decisions that make you go, whaaaaaaat?

it might be the biggest win in my lifetime. for all the other big wins, we were a lot better.

will, there were 3 wins in the 90s that were bigger, but other than that...id say this would be way up there..

it might be the biggest win in my lifetime. for all the other big wins, we were a lot better.

met a guy the other night who played in the PAC 10, NFL and still real involved in College Sports.

his comment to me shaking his head was "what. in. the. hell was Nebraska thinking? way to great of program to make a mistake like that"

 

 

It's not. Programs go through tough times. There is nothing we are going through that dozens of other great programs haven't gone through before. Sure fans and the media present these situations as huge turning points in a program's history, but they rarely are. In a couple of years, this season will be nothing more than a page in the Cornhuskers' history book. The mistake is to believe this 2015 season is somehow special or more relevant than 2014 or 2016. It's not.

 

Nebraska will continue to have great coaches and great football teams. Every program is a unique combination of positive and negative factors. Sure we have challenges - recruits like Los Angeles better than Lincoln. But Nebraska has a loyal fan base that USC and UCLA would gladly give up their 5* recruits for. Everything's a trade off. The most important thing to keep in mind: In the world of college football great programs are literally too big to fail. The whole structure, the way the money flows, etc. means that programs like Nebraska will be given chance after chance because Nebraska is a giant brand in college football. Unfair to all the smaller, potentially more deserving programs out there, but that's the way today's college football is.

 

So the conclusion here is that all the hand wringing, all the drama, all the "This is the end of Nebraska" articles are nothing but a giant waste of time and will be forgotten soon. It's a necessary waste of time because college football is entertainment, and this is very entertaining to a lot of people. But a waste of time nonetheless. Keep that in mind the next time you feel bitter or hopeless.

 

 

I was just thinking this same thing when I was on the Minnesota board looking at some internet posts from about 1960(insert sarcasm imogee)...but hey they were too big to fail and were given chance after chance...you are right, they turned out "great", too big to fail..

 

this program is in deep chit. we need the right people in place at the top.

 

 

Minnesota was the first program to pop into my mind as well when I first read this. BYU is another one. Pitt is another one. There's no guarantee no matter who we hire/fire that we're a contender again. When was the last time the state of Nebraska produced a Wiegert, Green, Crouch, etc.?

 

agreed as far as being a dominant contender again...we will likely never be as dominant as we were ...but to me, being a contender again means just being in the vicinity again...

How about a consistent top 25 team? Good game time decisions, not throwing 50 times with a kid who has 7 attempts against a bottom 25 run defense all while our running backs (which are plenty fine enough)standing on the sidelines amassing 50 yards...50 YARDS!! that's what we used to do occasionally to top10 teams...

If I had it my way, we would come out and say "hey, Lincoln is in the northern part of the country. we play in the Big 10 which requires a strong run game if nothing else than because of the weather, our identity on offense is a punishing running game. that's job 1. Job 1 begins with a strong run blocking line, and we are going to recruit to that, and that only, until hell freezes over or we get 3 deep, whichever comes first. when we think we are 2-3 solid and deep, we will start on job 2. find a run first, pass second QB and some good WR's. same thing on defense. the identity is a great run defense, then we focus on pass coverage second. maybe this isnt the order, but something along these lines..

My point is, you cant eat the whole cow in 1 setting, you gotta break it down into manageable pieces. 1 step at a time, 1 foot in front of the other.

You have an identity, recruit to it, eat the cow 1 bite at a time. Hell, you fix just our O line and we are a 7-9 win team with a crap defense. hard for the other guys to score when their offense is on the field only 18 minutes(usually, not Purdue) you spiffy up the defense next, pick up another win or 2,all of a sudden we are a decent bowl contender again....an identity that matches our conference , climate, tradition is emerging....ticket prices start getting a little tougher and more expensive, the program is in the vicinity again...with a little luck, more time and fine tuning, recruiting get a little better, a more recognized identity is emerging, we might just get into the top 10. now we are in the vicinity which is all that matters to most of us......and then 1 day, you just happen to pull out a special season nobody sees coming once in a while like the royals just did...and it comes together.

Its not nearly as easy as i've outlined, but that's what Id do...but that's me and I'm not a football coach making $2M per year...so i'm sure my logic is flawed in so many ways...

that's all.

at least we aren't this bad because of sanctions. We got to the cellar with integirty and respect.

best post of the week

I think you take the next year to replace Perlman, then you let that chancellor replace SE. then you let that new AD replace MR as necessary. by then if things aren't going well , recruiting is not on the upswing and our identity isn't forming and working, then that AD firing MR is understandable and you go from there. but you go through a better process, work the channels, and be patient for the right guy.

hiring a guy with 5 years to go and not having a list of candidates to choose from is just complete unfathomable incompetence at any level of management let alone an AD and Chancellor.

I wish I could read the mind of new Nebraska President Hank Bounds. I talked to him briefly in August at a Husker football scrimmage. It became immediately clear he knows the game. He has a reputation for holding people accountable. Those traits may not bode well for Husker athletic director Shawn Eichorst.

 

Interesting article here by Sip. He hints that the only fan of Eichorst in the administration is Perlman, who is leaving in 2016. It appears we could potentially see another offseason of change.

Fire SE tonight. Send a message. Your hire, your mess, you're fired.

 

Good read. Depressing as hell though. Bottom feeding NU.

 

from the article...

Were his players, especially on the offensive and defensive lines, fighting as hard as they could?

"I can't sit here and fault the effort," Riley said

WTH? if the coach cant fault them for not playing hard, what does that say? he is a deer in the headlights. this is too big for him...

no way he resigns, low probability he gets fired, high probability for more losses

Eichorst's job isn't dependent on W-L's directly. It's on the $$$.

the $$$ have to be slowing down to some degree..

Purdue rushes 3 and down he goes...awesome....

Watch Purdue blow this game..........

not even they can screw this up as bad as Nebraska has...

with this score you would think this was a big 12 passing style shootout, not just ugly football..

if you told me we would score 45 points on Purdue, I would have put this in the W column...let that sink in....
