zoogs Posted November 11, 2007 Author Share Posted November 11, 2007 I know, I'm not seriously suggesting this is a terrible thing. I'm just a little "ehhh" that our players don't seem to understand Husker history like the fans do. Probably should not be surprising, though. Quote Link to comment

Hey, come on... Come on. Our glory days are way long ago. Do not expect these players to know facts and history. Come on now! Is that all you have to complain about? WE WON TODAY!!!!

VA Husker Fan Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 Come on. Our glory days are way long ago. Do not expect these players to know facts and history. Come on now! Well, Keller knew about the last punt return, or more likely someone clued him in before they did the sideline interview with him. But at least he sounded convincing and interested in Husker history. I figured Sam was going to be the biggest just-get-me-to-the-NFL player on the team, but either he's a really good actor or a great team player. I hope he does get his shot at the NFL. Whatever you want to say about him playing ahead of Ganz, that wasn't his fault, and he gave his very best effort. Personally I think Ganz caught lightning in a bottle today, and Keller was due to have a day like that until he got hurt, but I'll be happy if I'm wrong and Ganz is for real. Quote Link to comment

Haha, I'm not complaining. I was short on time and it ended up coming out sounding really curt and negative. No, I'm really happy about today. But I just thought it was a little saddening that not everyone (or maybe even most?) players on the team have followed the Huskers since their childhood. I guess you can't really expect that out of them. Hope I didn't sound like too much of a downer. Quote Link to comment

HuskerfaninOkieland Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 We shouldn't have to wait another 3 years IMO. If these guys are going to play for Nebraska, they need to understand what it means to play here. That starts with having a thorough understanding of the dominance Nebraska displayed for 4 decades. IMO, they're never truly going to understand what it means to wear the "N" unless they know where Nebraska football has been. Sorry but this just doesn't sit well with me. Quote Link to comment

This is a symptom of this regime. It helps to explain why it has been so easy for some of these guys to dog it this season. In the Marine Corps we all got a big dose of Corps history and traditions. This helped to make us the team and family that we are. Not were, ARE. This is the way that Nebraska football used to be. Other schools use tradition and history of the program as a recruiting tool. Apparently not Callahan. He brags about himself, and being in the NFL. Quote Link to comment

Now these kids need to know the entire history of Nebraska football?!?!? Im sure most of them didnt know where nebraska was until they got here. We should be happy that these kids want to come and play for us. Quote Link to comment

Hey, come on... Not real sure it's important to know all the details about NU to play here. Sure, the National Title thing, well it's pretty much plastered everywhere in the stadium. I really don't think it's a big deal. Just play football. Quote Link to comment
Dan_F_30 Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 I think I remember Marlon Lucky did not know who TO was when he came on his visit during recruitment Quote Link to comment
pctopeka Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 This is probably part of the problem. It is much easier to dog it, give up or take it lightly when you don't feel you have something to live up to. It is a matter of PRIDE. Quote Link to comment
CoachKevin Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 Doesn't help when your AD and Coaching staff try to erase the programs history. Quote Link to comment
