  1. espn has 2.5 billion reasons why it licks the secs nuts all day every day. Of course all your gonna hear is how Bama is the best ever, Saban is the best ever bla bla bla.

     

    We'll see. But I'm always obliged to mention that a couple years ago, ESPN polled its own college football experts on the greatest NCAA teams ever, and they ranked '95 Nebraska #1 and '71 Nebraska #3.

     

    ESPN has alway given Nebraska the respect we deserve - maybe even the benefit of the doubt. But right now the SEC is on a roll, and they are top to bottom the best conference out there. That's just the way it is. When Nebraksa upsets South Carolina and Georgia in our bowl games, ESPN will be happy to report it. They love upsets.

     

    But we didn't. Get over it.

    I wasnt talking about our bowl games. I was talking about how espn treats Bama and Saban. Get over it

  2. Bama lost on their home field in both the 11 and 12 titles. Case closed if ya ask me. espn has 2.5 billion reasons why it licks the secs nuts all day every day. Of course all your gonna hear is how Bama is the best ever, Saban is the best ever bla bla bla.

  3. two beat-downs and an away game against a quality opponent we should have beat; this is still bo's best season. is this the type of season a coach wants to hang his hat on? no, but i still see improvement from when bo got here. any way you slice, we would look like lunatics to get rid of bo right now. and frankly, if he does leave, for whatever reason, we will deserve whatever we get.

     

    I just can't agree with this. There is no way this season will be Bo's best season unless we dismantle Georgia. In 09', we finished the season extremely strong. We lost by one flipping second in the Big 12 Championship game to a team that went on to play for a NC. I can't for the life of me even begin to understand how losing to an unranked team as bad as we did in the second to last game of the season makes this Bo's best season. The B1G looks like the Big East usually does sending their unranked conference winner to a BCS bowl. The B1G is not good at all this year which makes it a little difficult to just look at wins when determining if this is Bo's best season. Bo was brought here to fix the defense which is exactly what TO said in why Bo got the nod over Gill. This year, we broke a several decade old record for most yards allowed in a game against UCLA. Against Wisconsin, we broke the record for the most yards rushing ever given up. I'm sorry, but there's no way this season can be declared Bo's best season at NU.

    i agree with a lot of what you said, especially about the B1G being so weak. however, the offense is as good as it has ever been under bo and i think our defense, although pathetic at teams this year, can turn it around quickly. looking at the whole season, i still argue this is his best. '09 the north was weak and we got spanked by ttu and lost to iowa st., but we played a good game against a good team in the championship. this year, we won the better division, but shat the bed in the champ game. the lows were bad, really bad, but overall we were more consistent and on the whole a better team.

     

    bo proved he can coach a top defense in '09 and a great offense this year. he needs to put it together and it start with line play and getting the personnel he needs on defense.

    Here is my problem. Look at that roster in 09, how many were future NFL players? Suh,Gomes,Dennard,Amukarama,Hagg,Crick,Dillard. Didnt Allen have a good shot at making a roster before injury? So 7.5, how many who get pt on this roster will play on Sundays? Maybe Evans, Green? How hard is it to coach a D that is pretty much NFL ready? He can coach up talent but judging from his recruting this far he will never have that much talent again. So put me on the page that says he will never do better then getting destroyed 3 or 4 times a year.

  4. I agree that we are not a very talented team on defense, but If Thorell can't compete, it's not his fault. Our staff should have recruited better players. He is going out there and playing the best he can. It really says something pretty aweful about those of you who call names at some KID who is living his dream. If he is not good enough so be it (I actually agree), but calling him garbage, trash, an embarassment, is really pathetic on your part

    sometimes the truth aint pretty, it is what it is. pretty sure hes an adult, time to take those diapers off.
