Another Poster Named Bob

You will have to look that up on your own as I'm sure no one on this board that remembers it will volunteer that inconvenient truth to you. Personally...I'm off this board for good. Happy blissful ignorance to all.

What? Really knapplc...never mind.

Doesn't matter how many times you ring that bell, Suh has higher brain function (and opposable thumbs) and is capable of determining right and wrong. He can be taught aggression all he wants, but the bottom line is, HE has the choice to follow that conditioning or to make better choices. HE chose to stomp the guy (and behead Delhomme, and smoosh Cutler). Not his coaches, not society, him. When your criminal raised on the wrong side of the tracks with all the wrong stimulus robs that bank, we're not putting society in jail, we're putting the criminal in jail. Why? Because we're not letting that criminal cop out on some bogus psychological "I was conditioned to do it, your honor." We expect adults to make proper choices, no matter how much chow is placed in their bowl before the bell rings. You just told me that you, as an individual, have absolutely no responsibility to; or for society. Because, whether you like it or not...criminals are part of the society you built. But rather than acknowledge your castle made of sand...you choose to turn a blind eye. And this is why America is falling apart. That criminal is someone elses problem. Now...why wasn't Suh arrested for sucker punching his own team mate and breaking his nose and cheek bone? I'm sure you or I would have been. Oh...thats right...he was a Cornhusker at the time. Same goes for Lawrence Phillips. He was fine as a Cornhusker too. And I'm sure that now that we are done with him, by golly, he deserves to rot in jail too. Another guy we could have helped while he was here instead of turning our heads and letting him play. Oh no officer...It most certainly is "More than Winning" Hmm...where have I heard that title before??

He says while throwing his insignificant, infantile and impotent little bread crumbs. lol

You're an idiot. Ok Mr. Accountability. Heres your chance to be accountable and shine. Do tell...EXACTLY why, in your opinion, am I an idiot. Not saying I disagree with you, but it's always nice to see how the flavor of my idiocy tastes to others.

The ONLY person responsible for Suh's behavior is Ndamukong Suh. Not his coaches, not society, just Suh. The only people that are responsible for letting Suh GET AWAY WITH that kind of behaviour with just a little pat on the butt, are the people charged with educating and coaching him....and the only people responsible for making the coaches feel like they need to let him get away with it, is the culture that expects those coaches and players to win at all costs lest they lose their jobs. Suh learned early that the premium on winning is much higher than taking personal responsibility for his actions. He was allowed to get away with it. AND THAT IS UNDENIABLE.

The ONLY person responsible for Suh's behavior is Ndamukong Suh. Not his coaches, not society, just Suh. Hmmm. Tell that to Pavlov's dog.

Suh is not the problem. Our culture is the problem, but none the less; I would like to know the opinion of Suh, from the offensive lineman whose face he literally broke with a sucker punch back in about Suh's soph year at NU. I think he broke his nose and his cheek bone if I recall. The university and the media swept it under the rug quicker than a hoover vacuum cleaner could get to it. I remember thinking at the time that he probably should have been arrested for assault. And now...all of a sudden...everyones wondering whats wrong? "Thats just not Suh"? That is how Suh has been molded. Of that...there is no denial in my mind. Ahh...Nebraska...the good life. Children of the Corn...unite in shock! It must be a conspiracy. LOL

Before the season I thought 8-4 would be reasonably successful. I am not disappointed overall. Actually...I am very encouraged as Taylor Martinez is playing a lot better than I ever thought he would be capable. I'm pleasantly suprised with being wrong about him. I guess it's all a matter of perspective and expectations. I would say 8-4 would be pretty dissapointing because it means, yet again, we went 1-3 to finish the season. Yet again, we skated through our non-con schedule to lay an egg once things get tough. there are 5 wins built into our schedule every year. that leaves 7 other games. those are the ones that count. I'm not happy going 3-4 during the 7 games against teams that have a practice field and don't ride in on a yellow school bus. We have to finish better. At this point 8-4 would be a mild disappointment...but if you actually read my post you would see that it states "Before the season I thought 8-4 would be reasonably successful" (Key hint being..."BEFORE THE SEASON"). It's kind of funny that it is always the "Homer" fans with out of whack expectations at the beginning of the year that are the ones that are quickest to "turn" when reality hits. And in the classic "Homer's" mind's eye...if you aren't as upset over all of this as they think you should be...you aren't a true fan. I also find it kind of funny that when Pelini was hired, I was a little disappointed that Osborne didn't hire Turner Gill as I thought he was a better fit for NU. It is absoulutely ironic, and a little hilarious how a good many Husker fans that were such Pelini "Homers" when he was hired, are the ones that are most disappointed in him now. Imagine that...unreasonable college football fans. lol

The measure of a country's sanity is not it's crime...but it's reaction to it's crime.

Personally...I think that the football program should be disbanded and Memorial Stadium could be turned into a good ol' fashion Midwestern redneck, mother of all Truck Pulling/ Demolition Derby venues. No sense in wasting a perfectly good stadium.

Well...maybe we should start a "Fire Bo" containment thread also. And while we are at it...a "bench Martinez" sub forum and a "fire Barney Cotton" sub forum and a "Burnt Redshirt" subforum...and a "What went wrong" sub forum...and a...

He has lacked humility in the past. Wait and see how humble he becomes when he continues to lose to teams he's not supposed to and people start calling for his head. Then you will see humble. He will start realizing he can't get away with his temper tantrum antics once he starts losing his supporters. It's actually all quite fascinating to watch though. I hope he is a success in the long run, but even if he's not...he has provided some entertainment value.
