3rd and long Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 It took Nick Saban more than 10 years to win a national championship as a head coach. Our team is young and learning, and so is our head coach. I think that is a really excellent point. We do forget that it takes time (look at T.O.), but most people who are such avid fans are also somewhat impatient ones. But because they question or criticize doesn't make them less of a fan. As much as some get tired of people who question what goes on on the field, I get just as tired of other fans saying that if you do criticize or question, you are a "fair weather fan".

AustinHuskr Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 B? As in one step below an A? No. We're a C+ team at best. "B" teams don't lose to somebody like '10 Texas or '11 Northwestern. The first step to getting back: STOP losing to unranked teams at home. Good lord - in 25 years how many times did TO lose to unranked teams at home? Quote Link to comment
zoogs Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 If we're judging by TO standards, though, every coach in the country should probably be fired. Don't get me wrong, we got embarrassed today. But let's be measured in our response. Quote Link to comment
Jason Sitoke Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 You remember the B student in high school? You know, the one who's vice-president of the student body, sixth man off the bench on the basketball team, gets to go on the double-date to prom with the prom king and queen? That's Nebraska as long as Bo is coach. Pretty good, you know, but never on top. Bo is a very good coach, but he's not a great one. This sort of letdown have just happened too many times. Obviously he is not going to get fired, so Nebraska will remain firmly entrenched in 3.0 land. 9-3, 10-2, 8-4, B1G runner-ups and non-BCS bowls as far as the eye can see. Looks good if you're a Kansas fan; unacceptable if you'rea Bama or tOSU fan. What do you say, Huskerland? You ready to be the B student? The valedictorian, prom king, starting varsity players will be on display in about an hour. Wy: Its obvious that you were probably a 2.0 student at best to start another one of these posts. BTW Wy, did you know Pelini's team does have over a 3.0 gpa as a team? Yep, highest since 1987. But you don't care about that, you are clearly only concerned with winning. And that's why we're on this board after Saturday, right? Yes, it's nice. But when a fan from another team starts running their mouth, do you come back with 'well, our team GPA is way higher than yours!'

T_O_Bull Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 You would have said the same thing about the greatest football coach of the last quarer centurary. Suck it up youngster. T_O_B G>B>R Quote Link to comment
MNSker Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 The valedictorian was having sex with the English teacher, the prom king shot someone the other night and the starting varsity is all getting paid under the table. Analogies and NCAA violations by SEC teams go hand in hand. Quote Link to comment
