Fabian Washington, duh.

EXACTLY!!!! There are NO perfect coaches like so many people on this board believe. Not saying there are, what I'm saying is that we have some guys that are rather new. I think even with great talent right now this coaching staff might not be able to play for and win a NC. That being said I love our staff and I want to give them time to develop.

Have a fully matured coaching staff, not a bunch of guys learning the job and trying to figure out when to stop being stubborn. A roster built for the league it's playing in, not a bunch of Big XII LB's playing in the B1G. An offense and a defense that matures the same year (and ideally doesn't have to reset instead of reload). A better turnover margin. A good bit of luck. Talent recruited doesn't win champs, USC, the state of Florida and ND show that. Developing talent well doesn't win champs (http://blogs.mercurynews.com/collegesports/2012/09/13/2012-nfl-roster-breakdown-usc-leads-all-schools-cals-in-the-top-10/) (sup miami, Georgia, Cal, Iowa, and Michigan?). It's a combination of a whole bunch of things. However, you all know that.

A lot of those were on DB's I think, may just be a skewed perspective though. Those aren't always bad penalties, we want our DB's to be aggressive and until this last game I've really had no complaints with them this season in coverage. Covering swing plays is a whole nother thing though.

Plus the 19-0 loss to ASU.....and no it's not the loss, it's some behind the scenes stuff that lead to it. Scott was lucky to stay on the team after that one. Yep. Spot on. What's the story there? If you don't want it on the board would someone please PM it to me?

While we're talking about cookies and to get this thread a little safer for work here's my contribution.

As amusing as it is, from what I've been reading/hearing the longer this is delayed the better our chances. That being said, I'm rediculously bored at work. Anyone have any suggestions?

Meh, these are some pretty sought after guys who can plug holes for a program immediately. It's not like these are guys that are lucky to be 3*'s and are choosing Western Michigan University over us. Yeah it sucks, but the way you worded it makes it sound like we're not landing 5* guys who were born and raised in Lincoln.

Haha this is kinda funny. Other schools give out money and coeds while we give delicious cookies. Well at least we know our targets. I mean we were going after a lineman.

I play quite a bit, feel free to add faznient to your friends list if you want someone to run with.

Barm barm?

Especially for a tribal tattoo. Very thug-esq. I also like that they went from trying to cheer us up to trolling our silly pony stuff and qb. Guys, we're here to talk football, not aesthetics (big word, means looks).

Can I just point out how absurd it is that people are calling TM a thug? If anything you should pursue the dumb surfer boy angle.

To further my point, take a look at the O-line this year. Not amazing, but didn't arguably didn't have any clear holes. Overall, I appreciate the response and dialogue. Thanks.

The turnovers are a problem. Let's not gloss over that. But we have got to stop giving the defense a pass because the offense has issues. With those turnovers we're still the top offense in the conference in three of the four major categories: Total Offense, Rushing Offense and Pass Efficiency Offense, and we're #2 in Scoring Offense, two points a game behind OSU. The offense has problems. It is not THE problem, and you can blame those turnovers as much on the defense giving up epic yards and points and the offense having to play a riskier version of football to try to catch up more than you can blame the offense's turnovers for the defense's woes. Even if we clean up all turnovers, this defense is Cosgrovian. There's no getting around that. Let's say they scored TDs on every turnover and then let's say we took that away. That is 21 points. We still lose by 18. I agree. The offense isn't perfect but it wasn't the cause of us losing this game. The defense was pathetically horrible. They were so horrible that it is unfathomable what they were even doing in practice all week. Or Baker is the best player to have ever come through Nebraska. Just saying.

I'm one of those people that has been a sun shiner. I've always been a Bo supporter. I went to the game, and left stunned, just trying to figure out what was going on. It wasn't until today that I had what could be a useful insight. What if we're framing this completely wrong. We knew that our D was bad this year, that wasn't really a question. Losing Dennard, Crick, and David and having no amazing underclassman or Juco's come in to replace them was going to be ugly. Do I blame Bo for the bad talent around at the moment at the upperclassman level? Yes and no, I don't think he recruited great his first year or two, but there was also the usual attrition and people not playing out. So we could still frame it as his fault. My question is this, what if Bo's been coaching lights out all season and Wisconsin/tOSU were just games where coaching could not overcome? This team could have been the running equivalent of Okie State (when they were really bad) and instead they went 10-3 despite having huge holes at two defensive levels. This is essentially the flipside of the 09 team. I think that if Bo ever has a team without holes (doesn't need to be amazing, but without holes) it'll be a team in the national championship conversation. Take it for what you want, this could just be the ramblings of a sleep deprived person.

I can't take credit for it, but my buddy joining me for the game suggested a sign that said. Beat tOSU Penn State Wisconsin

sorry speed. My reply wasn't questioning fowlers insights. It was in response to Hedleys response to Fowler.I follow and take seriously anything Fowler posts in the recruiting forums. As I do with anything you post. The fact that this guys starts a thread in the recruiting forum just to dick everyone around is ridiculous. Then to butt heads with fowler about recruiting is insane! and EZ-E! Just for the record. When a new person shows up with the name of a villain from a comedy (Blazing Saddles in this case) and starts rubbing people the wrong way; you might want to just ignore them. People who have been around the board long enough know who has reputable information and who doesn't. Let a person prove themselves or not prove themselves instead of arguing about things like steroids and hypothetical situations.

My friend and I will be there.

Might want to delete that. Pretty sure you'll get in trouble for it. PM's may or may not be legal. You may wanna edit your post... got the link in the quote Thanks, got it.

No way this reaches Owa status.
