  1. this is a total breakdown, players immature have given up on 12-0 coaching staff, some coaches not doing jobs well either. Thats the sich. Now the solution: clean house on any player who is not all in. Start freshmen, take key cards away from fat lazy losers.
  2. More head honchos in the room can really complicate things, usually with bad outcomes. Environments become toxic. I am not on board with this.
  3. anybody ever teach you that it is you're, not "your"?
  4. time for the U to drop the required donation. No service no tip. No excellence, no donation.
  5. Our defenses at the time were based out of the old 5-2 and we could handle anything in the Big 8 until it came time for OU and even then the 5-2 was not a disadvantage. Our D line was always very strong and well disciplined, like Wisconsin of today. However when it came time to play the Bowl game against a national opponent our lack of speed got exposed. The low point for me was the (1991?) bowl against GT where we pretty much got drubbed, it actually reminds me of yesterdays game. Yes flags flew at half staff a few years earlier after Miami blanked us but it was MIAMI. But it still hurt. They switched to the 4-3 defense and REALLY stressed pressure coming off the edge. They would line up one or two linebackers at the line so you could not tell if they were coming on a blitz or backing up into coverage. The thing was whenever a high flying team tried that 30 yd pass there was always a dude in red right on him, swatting that ball down. Our man coverage 1993-1995 was just outstanding. They saved multiple scores just by being right on the dude. I can"t even count the times one of our little D backs would sky at just the right moment and knock that ball away just as it was getting to the receiver's hands. It seemed the motto was "You Get Nothin'!" Also though , those boys played physical our safeties hit so hard across the middle they would be ejected today and we would be flagged for some of our QB hits as well. And that is not an idictment of the old team as much as it is to say how the game sucks now. In fact the game is in some weird grey area now between real football and ultimate frisbee. If you never experienced the game back in the 90's you probably don't understand. When the Safeties,linebackers, and D ends are allowed to Hit the game of football gets faster. It has to because as a offensive player if you know that guy is going to clean your clock, you play lower and get down faster. You go over the middle quicker. You run the ball more to take pressure off that QB. There were also less commercial breaks, way less flags usually, and the game was just more enjoyable to watch. With these multi-million dollar pro quarterbacks I think they want to go toward no hitting of the QB at all. But if you do that you might as well just go toward 7 on 7 passing league, QB can't run. These contrived "targetting" penalties have really changed the game for the worse in my view. Like light beer or guar gum ice cream.
  6. I dont think the D players are buying in with the D coaches, and I dont know what the D coaches excuses are. The offense running plays are just too easy Zone draw, QB draw, zone draw. No effective play action. No power game. No inside trap. No counter-tray. Bring back some diamond formation, and pass out of it too Give Mills the ball on some quick traps or loaded off tackle. Its just too easy to diagnose the QB runs right now.
  7. Are you insinuating that todays Indiana game is somehow a more daunting challenge than 1993 National championship against Florida St?? You think their skills in man coverage were lacking? Were magical new routes invented in the last 10 years which would somehow render Moss and Minter ineffective? Is the Indiana quarterback better than Charlie Ward? (Heisman)
  8. Oh, I don't know, Barron Miles, Kareem Moss, Tyrone Williams, Eric Stokes, Mike Minter, Troy Dumas, didn't have no problem with man coverage. Whats wrong with being excellent?
  9. Diaco is unique because he was brought in by the AD, not the HC. And the head coach and most of the players could pass him in the hallway and not even know who the hell he was. He got zero buy-in. I'm not saying he was a world beater but damn. We should get a doctoral student to Nebraska to do an in depth study on the fragility and psychology of the coaching/ player relationship because this place is an outlier and the place where heretofore great coaching careers go to DIE. Theres obviously something about Lincoln that is sucking the desire out of the players to commit to greatness. I think it must have to do with the party scene and (lack) of leadership from teammates and to some extent coaches. I am seeing D backs playing not only with lack of technique, but also lack of effort. A wisconsin or ohio st. DB would have been much tighter to the receivers throughout, and also would have tried to strip the ball more often and harder. D line getting very little pressure.
  10. I'm not sure you understand what I was trying to say, or at least I don't get where you are coming from.
  11. A Div 1 coach's emotional and personal commitment to a troubled young man is directly proportional to the kid's Ave. YPC. Exceed 5.1 and we are willing to guide you through the challenges of life and help you overcome a disadvantaged childhood, current criminal charges, addiction and dependency. Now if we also have a trouble free kid who can do the same, then its " here's the door fellow, and an application for McDonalds.
  12. If you ever wanted to know if the league is straight or not watch the Wiscy tOSU game this weekend. The league knows that tOSU is their only shot to get to the playoff, after a long absence. Watch the refs close, especially if Wiscy is threatening in the 4th.
  13. I think this team needs Nate Diaz to be the check-in guy at the football facility for 7 am daily workouts. Nate smells your breath and if he smells weed or alcohol he totally beats the crap out of you until you escape. A week of that and I think the team will come around.
  14. And sometimes you might be a 3rd year 16-20 HC when a coastal team offers you a few mill and a new start.
  15. Thank you, and I get this. We will just have to see how it turns out.
  16. Got to think too, if the kids don't buy in and some big name U or NFL comes callin, Scott might go. Couldn't blame him one bit.
  17. This is true. Also if one monkey flew out of my britches, and two monkeys out of yours, then it is entirely possible that three monkeys can fly out of our pants.
  18. No, Daniel Day Lewis is not part of the question... See this is where the mind goes in a season like this.
  19. Help me, I need a self-check on something I have struggled with for a long time. In the movie "Troy", Brad Pitt's character Achilles kills Eric Bana's character Hector after a decent fight scene. In real life do you think Brad Pitt could kick Eric Bana's a$$? What if it was a cage match?
