Why can we get NO credit

[Suhness]

I just don't get it. No matter what we do, or what other teams don't do, we CANNOT get any love from anyone. Forde, Mandel, Herbstreit, James, barely Ubben, pretty much anyone willing to talk about the Huskers except Robert Smith.

 

Somebody on Forde's chat asked which defense they would like to see against Oregon's offense. TCU or Nebraska. He immediately responded with the whole "TCU is #1 in scoring defense and the #1 defense." At first I thought maybe he would just want to see TCU, a non AQ team just to see, but when he used the ranking, it just pissed me off. Who has TCU played? Nobody. They shut down Utah, but where are they now? Nebraska is the second best(?), and has gotten that by playing teams that are FAR superior to anything TCU has played. Are the opponents factored into the ranking, or is it just what you've done through the season? I would think these guys are smart enough to give us some love and make some exceptions, I guess not.

c'mon now we cant be bitter about everything...

 

i dont have a problem with them saying TCU over Nebraska, you just have to let them have their own opinions.

 

except mark may. f*^# mark may

Wow. This is beyond the usual level of whining. Let's all calm down a little, eh?

[C N Red]

We also haven't won THAT BIG GAME in quite some time. I will guarantee if we win this weekend we will start getting more credit, and if we perform well throughout our horrific schedule next year things will change. Just getting to the BIG game isn't enough, we HAVE TO WIN IT!!!!

[killer cacti]

Wow.

 

 

That's all I can say.

[GMoose]

When whatever garbage these talking heads spew starts affecting something relevant to our team I'll be right there with you...

[VA Husker Fan]

Nebraska is the second best(?),

Not based on any statistics.

[Husker Z]

No conference championships in 11 years, no BCS games in 9, LOTS of bad losses, few good/great wins, there IS a reason people aren't jumping up and down about us.

 

I REALLY hope we can take a giant step forward this Saturday night, I know that!!!

[Suhness]

Wow. This is beyond the usual level of whining. Let's all calm down a little, eh?

 

You're kidding right? This whole board is about people whining. I'm just whining about something other than firing Watson, or Beebe treating us badly, or the Big XII has some kind of conspiracy, or the refs.......

 

It was more a whiny observation that almost nobody likes Nebraska or gives us any credit. The only publicity we got was a weeks worth of everyone saying they shouldn't send their kids to play for Pelini and how he is hot-tempered (even though Saban spanks McElroy, and Mike Stoops is just as bad if not worse than Pelini)

 

Top to bottom they only seem to report negatively, or discredit us whenever possible. Except for our defense........

I agree that the whining seems to be going overboard at this point. Come one fans, let's just get behind the team for one more game and then we don't have to worry about all this anymore. Yes, I believe that we have been "jobbed", and yes, I believe that some things that have occurred this year are questionable. But some people are taking this too far. What would be the sweetest revenge? Go out, support the team to get a win in the CCG, and leave this conference so that everyone knows what they are losing.

Stewart Mandel has us picked to beat Oklahoma on Saturday and Chris Fowler ranked us SIXTH in his last poll.

 

Does that help?

You should've been around earlier this season! We were getting some pretty good hype

 

Unfortunately, the Texas game pretty much ended that....

I wish you could see me now, because I have on my "totally not kidding" face.

 

Looks like this:

 

Of course, that's also my "kinda sorta hafta take a crap" face. It's multi-purpose.

I would say beating an undefeated, #6 Missouri team who had just throttled undefeated, #1 Oklahoma was definitely a big game. In fact, our first win against a top ten team in a long time.
