The Buffs season is over tomorrow too

And one of their wins was against us.  Hard for me to ridicule Prime when we have lost the last 3 to CU.  And the last one to him.  They were 1-11.  Going 4-8.  Improvement.  We were 5-7 last year.  5-7 this year.  Our D "looked" better, but the O is the worst in P5 for sure.  Possibly the entire FBS. I'll wait until the season is over to see where we ranked.  I am guessing no higher than 128...

I'd go back to those days in a heart beat over the crap since he was fired TBH.  He struggled for multiple reasons, Carl leaving, Sanders being let go, admn hated him etc....But over the crap I have watched since then?  Absolutely.  

Regretfully, I agree.  The regretful part is that Bo often was not the best representative of the school.  But perhaps it is better to have a sometimes well meaning jerk who wins vs a nice guy who loses.

Learned why most other fanbases hate us. f#&%ing crybabies.

Thought that we'd have 5-7 wins, there'd be considerable encouragement of moving in the right direction. Learned that the team hasn't learned nearly enough yet. We improved a few degrees. There's been some progress though there's a long, LONG ways to go.

 

Injuries and quarterback performances proved limiting. Don't see enough playing with intention from this team, too much trying. Anticipated a bit better season. LOTS of work to be done.

Yep.  I truly miss Bo's passion.  Rome is burning and Riley watched chewing gum, Frost all stoic and arms crossed and Rhule just meanders up and down the sidelines....At least Bo was at risk of getting a 15 yard sideline penalty or an injection for yelling at the refs.  Kids would run through a wall for him.  I am also disappointed in Rhule after the "If we die, we die speech.   That was like the Spartans "with your shield or on it", but he hasn't lived up to that.  Nor has the team played to that.  He got me this year with his speeches.  Not again....

We just couldn't run the ball. 51% run/pass ratio. Not saying we should have ran more, but when we ran we just didn't get good gains by and large.

 

 

Yup, run all we want but generally we end up in a 3rd and 6+ everytime 

[Heretic Husker]

I learned, at my age chances are, the 90's will have been the last fun time in my life as a husker fan

I expect a 5-7 record next season and that's being optimistic.

Why did they get rid of Bo, he was a great coach

Yeah. Why would we want to see an improved product after years of failure?

 

Let’s all lower expectations and accountability so we’re never relevant again. A true recipe for winning businesses and football!

Rhule is a fraud, Satterfield is a fraud, but Purdy throwing it RIGHT TO an Iowa defender is OK?

 

That makes zero sense.

if only rhule had the chance to get a guy out of the portal, oh wait. 

[chamrocck]

I miss Pelini’s passion but when it started going bad he just couldn’t be the spokesperson for Nebraska. Rhule is a good spokesperson and has some passion. But I have yet to see it in the other coaches. Where is my dawg recruiter or my motivator position coach?  I don’t see it, especially on offense. I want coaches that coach toughness physically and mentally. 

[KCBuc]

The whole offensive and special teams  “system” needs a complete overhaul. I can’t help think that some analysts are out there for hire that can point out the issues and suggestions on how to fix it. This is beyond broke.

He dropped the F-Bomb too much.  The admn hated him as he was close to TO, Carl (his brother) hit on or picked up some donors wife IIRC. Eichorst when he fired him made a comment to the effect of where Iowa is and where we are and that we did not want to fall in mediocrity......Bo was 3-1 against Iowa....40-2 against teams sub .500....was something like 9-14 against ranked teams....Yep drunk monkey....
