Eyeoftiger Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 You guys did exactly what you should have done: you came out, punched Missouri in the nose, and never let them in the game. Down 24-14, I thought we had a shot if we got a stop, but another big play and the game was over. Your team really impressed me, especially your defense. I thought your defense was soft in the middle and slants would be open all day long; I was clearly wrong. Can't say "good luck" because I know Missouri still has a shot to win the North, but you guys clearly gave us a beating. Many of my fellow Tiger fans refuse to acknowledge the other team out there, and the other team out there today was simply better. Great game, and congratulations. Quote Link to comment
walksalone Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 Thank you, you guys have a hell of a good squad. Didn't help with one of your DT's being out. Quote Link to comment
Eyeoftiger Posted October 31, 2010 Author Share Posted October 31, 2010 Not sure what Hamilton could have done...like last week, we beat OU because we were tougher on both lines. Today, you were tougher on the lines, and Hamilton may have helped, but I doubt it. We'll take our medicine, get re-focused, and go out and clobber Tech...what a horrible team. Quote Link to comment
irafreak Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 Yeah you guys still have a great season going. We have an inexcusable loss and yours is understandable. Your team is headed in the right direction and this doesn't take away your great win last week. Quote Link to comment
mjmartin1970 Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 Thanks Eye. Honestly, a couple of those long passes (especially the one where I think we did interfere), and it would have been a very interesting game. Imho, I think we would have responded, but would've been even closer. Quote Link to comment
Lil' Red Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 You guys have a pretty good team. You did a good job of slowing us down after the 1st quarter and you guys made some throws where the coverage was perfect but you completed the pass anyway. Quote Link to comment
fro daddy Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 Well what had me scared to death before the game happened. That MU wouldnt come to play right away and little mistakes would to TD's. Nebraska played great and i wish mu would have been on their game as well. The way it played out it would have been a great game. Pretty disapointing to way everything went down, but i will say that I know we are a good team simply because we were able to fight back and atleast stay in the game. I dont know too many other teams that would have been able to do that given everything that happened in the first and the game being in Lincoln with such a hyped crowd. Proud my team didnt lay down and die, but man.....the way they showed up to play doesnt leave a good taste in your mouth. It was a good win for you guys and everything is still in play for you all. Mu just needs to take care of these 4 remaining the way we all know they can and finish this regular season 11-1. hope everyone had a safe night last night. Quote Link to comment
Tora! Tora! Tora! Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 Well what had me scared to death before the game happened. That MU wouldnt come to play right away and little mistakes would to TD's. Nebraska played great and i wish mu would have been on their game as well. The way it played out it would have been a great game. I still had a really good experience in Lincoln and I loved the stadium/atmosphere. When a game starts off that poorly there really isn't much to hope for the rest of the game. So that was a dissapointment. Our defense seemed to revert back to it's old self. Nebraska played really well on both sides of the ball. To top it off they nearly completely dominated special teams. In fact I think if Helu hadn't had such a huge day the story of the game would have been how Nebraska won because they consistently had better field position. Congrats Nebraksa and good luck the rest of the season. Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 Thanks for the kind words, Eyeoftiger and Tora! I'd mention Fro but he's already one of us. Quote Link to comment
