You're fired.

Gee...I'd have to say Harv isn't buying in to the whole "There is no place like Nebraska" theme when it comes to what we have to offer potential coaches. I'd have to say most potential coaches would recognize the distance between "immediately successful" and being bitch-slapped by the B1G Basement Dwellers. Kinda hoping you made this up, because if it is his outlook on this season then he obviously does not understand or care why fans are so agitated. I would never make anything like this up. I would copy and paste the entire email chain but I don't want my personal email up. In that case email him back and tell him I think he should retire now because we are all unworthy of his "can do" attitude and unwavering patience.

You mean when Bob Davies was coach? That was awesome, we RULED then.

Yeah Herman sounds pretty good. He believes in the running game, B1G experience, recruiting ties to B1G areas and TX. I'd even go for Whittingham or Calhoun after that. Sorry GOAT, I would not care to see Richt. He just gives me the impression that complacency is settling in on him. We've got a nasty dose of that now with MR & Co.

Every poster writing about lack of player's effort, player's with a "Bo mentality", lack of talent and no talent walk-ons, and calling for Riley to clean house and get "his guys" in. Yeah those guys. This was a 9-4 team last year that has a new staff come in and show a lack of faith in them and what they've accomplished, and a lot of folks have turned their blind defense of MR and his failings into an indictment of the players. I can see why they might feel abandoned.

They edited out the first part of the clip where that guy was pressing his tits up against the glass for Bylsma, so the confusion over whose puck it was is understandable.

This is what boggles me about a supposed "experienced" staff. They consistently ignore outside factors to the game. Weather, injured personnel, the strengths and weakness of opponents. You mold your game plan around these things to be successful don't you? Sh#tty weather for the passing game? Throw it 40 times. First start for a walk-on QB who's passing ability you've questioned before? Throw it 50 times. Opponents are known to have good DT's? Run the ball right into them a couple times and say the run game doesn't work, better focus on passing. Square peg, round hole? Sheesh this is more like trying to fit a bowling ball in your mouth.

Warfield is "concerned" but runs out the typical "correct" statements. Skip ahead to 53:30 and check out what Mr. Dillard has to say. I usually can't make it through one of these shows either but this one was worth it. My highlights being "Sugar-coating" and "Shawn the Punk E" Dillard's interview is to Riley &Co. what Broderick Thomas's "Sabotage" interview was for Callahan.

How about this.. You hire Perlman's replacement now. Let him walk the halls of the Admin. and loom over Harvey like the spectre of Death, kind of like they did with Eichorst before TO finally left. You have that incoming hire put strong indicators into Eichorst's ear that if he doesn't pull the trigger on MR &Co. now, he's done like a dinner as quick as the hand-over takes place. I think SE is enough of the self-serving type to drop MR like a hot rock, hell it's not his money. Then, you steer SE's hire to your preferred candidate while keeping in mind an AD replacement's ability to get along with said hire. Upon hand-over you can SE anyway, and then publically state the reason as a dislike for the hiring carousel and how it reflects poorly on the university, "Not the Nebraska Way" and all that. You get your coach, you get your AD, and HP & SE get to take the stigmata with them as they leave. Yeah, kind of cut-throat, but needs must.

Turf toe is a weird injury. Hypothetically, you can always play through it, because it doesn't physically disable your body, it's purely a pain management scenario, but it can wreck even the best and toughest athletes. Imagine trying to do anything on a football field where your toe literally feels on fire every time you take a step or shift your weight. I'm probably being a bit harsh on TA but it frustrates me that MR refuses to embrace the things TA excels at...it's the fricking wasted potential that I do have sympathy for TA over. Aside from that, I'm not sure I buy Riley's statement over why he sat home. This is the first game Tommy sat for and I just don't see him letting a painful toe stop the kid.

Still not sure why TA couldn't play. Was the injured toe on his back foot and hampered his throwing motion? Surely it couldn't have been based on his ability to run, because we don't have him do that much anymore.

Don't worry because he has gems like this that make you hate him all over again. #Melodramatic Love the Forrest Gump stance there Mike...."Momma always said 'Stupid is as stupid does', so with that in mind let's talk about the 55points a 1-6 football team just hung on me..."

It's just fantasy. Caught in a landslide

Viagra?

Who in the Ath. Dept. is LEFT that would have any historical sense as it relates to football? Boyd Eppley maybe? Perlman has been fairly thorough in sterilizing influences which might interfere with his "vision".

No thanks... A couple of extra practices are not worth getting curb stomped by some mid-major who actually HAS their s#1t together. We don't need our name on a gold-plated can of FlexSeal trophy sitting in a trophy room at BumbleFk Univ. till the end of time.

I wouldn't get too worked up over Collin's effort or lack of, you'll only have to deal with it for 4 more games. You might want to save some of that angst for when he declares early for the draft because I can't see him sticking around for another year under the tutelage of the clown squad we have for coaches.

They're starting to realize the futility of yelling "SWIM!" at a drowning man and that doing so louder will not make him do so.

This isn't 2007...we won't get that until 2017. That will come after the losing becomes the accepted culture. I think Riley is losing this team, it's current roster. A team made up mostly of Juniors and sophomores. They've been shown all the worst ways of losing this year. Blow outs happen. Heisman candidates happen. Giving your all on comebacks to lose for poor clock management or play calling guts you. That losing is the kind that makes guys pull up on a route, stumble in pursuit, whiff on a block, and makes every injury seem major. Imani Cross said yesterday he didn't want to make a negative statement and therefore didn't want to say anything at all. That shows what's in the locker room psyche. Bring in whoever you want and they'll learn that attitude from upperclassmen, that's the way it has ALWAYS worked. You can talk about flushing out the "bad apples" all you want but the end result will be 2007 when you have nothing but a roster of guys just out for themselves and no "team" at all.

What a motivational speech there, Coach... Makes me want to jump right up and fold some socks or maybe wait till after a nap. Perhaps we should change our slogan from "Go Big Red!" to "Show up if you feel like it, or whatever."
