Student section this Saturday

[Apathy]

I'm loving that idea......STUDENTS STAND UP AND SAY IT ALL TOGETHER "WE WANT BO, WE WANT BO, WE WANT BO." I like that idea. We need our student section to voice their opinons and get more active into the game. BO FOR HC

[NEHUSKERS311]

No matter what fans are going to chant it anywaz if we are getting our butts kicked. Callahan wont like it but who cares he is out after the year. Bo Bo Bo!!!

[I See Red People]

Oh sweet. Maybe this will work as well as all the swell "blackouts" our awesome students section has tried to put on previously...

I know's there's a few of you who don't want Pelini back but I definately think your in the minority. SO let's get the student section going this Saturday just like in the Alamo Bowl...."WE WANT BO!" If we can get it rolling and on the news I think it'll definately make a statement of what Husker Nation wants & deserves!

By the way, I could care less what Callahan might think---as far as I'm concerned what better way to send a message not to let the door hit you in the butt. Personally, when I watch him on TV now I just think he looks lost and completely out of his element.

Hmm.. Pelinipedia? I guess if 75% (so called majority) agree it must be right. Just like Wiki...

 

The better idea is to enjoy the game, cheer, be loud, have fun, and show some respect for the team. Why kick a man when he's down? Cally will be gone. Be a grown up about it.

I don't think I want Bo either, I'd rather go through the process of chosing a coach rather than jump right into it. I loved the blog on coacheshotseat.com that went through possible head coaches. I'm intrigued by the guy from Navy....And also Jim Grobe. People who are proven recruiters and head Coaches...

Whatever the student section wants to be enthusiastic about is cool with me. Passion rocks.

 

It's their school. As an alum, I'm a bit saddened by people belittling blackouts or whatever else the students might want to cheer about.

 

It means they care. That's what we want.

 

EXACTLY. I don't consider it being rude at all, it's passion and we should have a voice in what happens to our university.

This is football and the touchy feely stuff is getting old. Don't get me wrong, I feel deeply for these players but suck it up & play the game...that red N on the helmet means something!

 

I feel strongly about this. If you want to spend the week writing letters, creating websites, posting, making phone calls, holding campus rallies, etc. in order to voice your preference for a new coach, I'm all for it. But on Saturday, at the game, we should be using our energies to support the team.

 

If you feel so deeply for the players, don't make them feel any worse by completely disgracing the coaching staff they are trying to work under to win the game. No matter how much you think the coaching staff has disgraced itself, like it or not, the outcome of the games is in their hands. Try to put yourself in the shoes of the players and imagine what a distraction those kinds of chants (and boos for that matter) are on top of all the other distractions.

 

T.O. is in charge and we should all trust him to make the right decision at the end of the year. I certainly have enough confidence in him to do so without the help of the student section on Saturdays.

I feel for the players--that they had to be put through this and that blame lies squarely on Pedersons shoulders. To a certain degree I feel sorry for Cally cus' I really don't think he knew what he was getting himself into, it had to be tough knowing you were the 4th choice. That's the extent of the touchy feely stuff for me cus' when the helmet get's strapped on none of that matters anymore. Destructive attitude? Yeah I suppose that's the competitor in me, I played ball for awhile although not at UNL (not near good enough). My compassion meter is pretty tapped out after sitting through last weeks game...sorry. By the way, we stayed through the whole darn thing!!!

If the students want to chant that then cool with me. If people want Bo to coach what a great way to let people know.

 

Just last week we all wanted this staff gone. PUD gets, axed, TO is in, and now many are saying "just let TO decide!"

 

No, make your voices heard regardless of who is AD. I'm sure he'll make a great choice and bring back much of the husker tradition but that doesn't mean we all have to sit by and passively watch.

[skersfan]

All nineteen of the them will be yelling in their black shirts, hidden behind their newpapers so who cares.

 

It is a pathetic group any way. No one will hear them or notice them as usual. Most will have left by half time anyway. No loss, no concern.

Just curious ...

You go to the games? Were a UNL student? Just wondering.

[skersfan]

Not a student, but a fan for over 50 years.

 

I attend quite a few games. But I am sick and tired of their pathetic attempts to change traditions and embarass the program. It may be their university now, but it belongs to a lot before them also.

 

I have yet to see one of their so called statements to ever come to bloom. This one will not only embarass the team, the staff, and mostly Coach Osborne. Bad idea. He has given up his family and time, and at his age that is quite a big deal. Let him do his job, trust me he knows more about it than some drunk 19-22 year old.

My point was only that "once the helmets get strapped on," to borrow someone else's phrase, we should be doing what we can to help the team win, which means cheering for them. To use the game as a stage for exressing new coaching preference does a disservice to the team thats out there on the field.

 

Like I said, I have no problem with people making their voices heard the other 6 days and 21 hours a week. I'm glad they do so.

Your entitled to that opinion of course but honestly I disagree. I would be more dissapointed if the student section did nothing game after game year after year. It's school spirit & school pride...their gonna do things at times that make no sense at all. haha

Yes this school belongs to everyone from top to bottom but those kids in the student section play a big part in keeping the juices flowing so to speak.

Oh by the way, I do agree with one thing, this is a huge under taking by Coach Osborne, he should be applauded (loudly)! He's quite possibly the most honorable man I've ever met.

All Nebraskans have full standing. I wondered where your comment about "all 19 of them" was coming from, though. Seemed anti-student.

There wouldn't be a university without the students (sorry, but it's true), and I don't think students are capable of embarrassing (or influencing) Tom Osborne. As an alumnus and native Nebraskan, I have to support today's students showing passion for the program in any way that's not profane.

When I was a student, certain groups among us would call for wearing blue to a game once a year to protest tuition increases. You know, whatever -- they were part of the university and entitled to use its biggest stage to be heard. I wore red and cheered for the team and never sold my ticket to anyone.

This isn't the state song or the fight song right here -- it's the school song.

 

Dear Old Nebraska U (There Is No Place Like Nebraska)

Words and Music by Harry Pecha, class of 1924

 

There is no place like Nebraska,

Dear old Nebraska U.

Where the girls are the fairest,

The boys are the squarest,

Of any old school that I knew.

 

There is no place like Nebraska,

Where they're all true blue.

We'll all stick together,

In all kinds of weather,

For dear old Nebraska U.

 

Go Big Red!

[NUpolo8]

And I bet that's what TO is waiting for.

 

"Dadgum I have no idea who to hire or what to do......I guess I better listen to the student section for advice."
