I'm sorry, I like Bo Pelini and the culture which he has tried to instill in this program, but this type of effort MUST come to an end.

WE ARE NEBRASKA!!! And Nebraska does have standards.

• We believe in running the football and stopping the run on defense.
  
• We believe in physically dominating the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball.
  
• We believe in option football. We believe in power football.
  
• We believe in a play-action passing game.
  
• These spread offenses may work for other teams, but we had an identity that worked for over 50 years, and it wasn't the spread.
  
• We understand that penalties are part of the game, but many of these stupidly repeated penalties lately have to stop. It's not just a coincidence anymore, the frequency of the same penalties have become a habit, and they are costing us games.
  
• We believe in winning at least 9 games a year, at least competing for a conference champion ship every year, playing in a bowl game, and being consistently in the Top 25.
  
• We believe in playing for a National Championship before we ever think about roses.
  

So a message to you Coach Pelini, your efforts the last 5 years have been respectable, but these last two years your teams are starting to slip below our standards for our Nebraska Cornhuskers. Defensive performances such as UCLA this year, and Ohio State are examples of the Nebraska brand being embarrassed on national tv. It may surprise you but we can tolerate a loss in Nebraska. However these kind of performances at UCLA and Ohio State are un-exceptable. A change in defensive and offensive schemes are no longer just a suggestion, they are now a requested demand.

 

P.S.

Your new Athletic Director arrives on Tuesday.

Knapp, can you save this one too?

We, as fans, have become content with mediocrity. Check out the LSU message boards today -- they have fans calling for Les Miles' head! They EXPECT to win EVERY game. That's how we used to be.

 

Funny, but you are right. We were used to maybe (maybe) losing a big game to Oklahoma or Colorado each year but for the most part, we dominated games and especially the 2nd half of games as TO was a master at adjusting. We are a 2nd or maybe 3rd tier team in college footage now. Won't even be in the Top 25 next week and we are sure to lose 2-3 more games this year. And next year? More of the same. Start fresh with all sorts of excitement, play some pansies and build a fake record and then lose to good teams. A bad cycle to be in.

 

Which was started by Frank as he gradually put this team in the toilet.

holy butt kicking bat man

[NUance]

So. I guess the Blackshirts won't be handed out this week. Right?

[NASA]

We have quit out there...

[zoogs]

That play was just pathetic. Our defense is mailing it in at this point - that's not acceptable.

[Terrabus]

My kool-aid is giving me an ulcer. I think I'm gonna have to turn this game off.

[Animal_Mother]

tough to watch

[The Maudfather]

This defense is bad.

 

Do you think Pelini tells the media that he forgot how to stop the run after the game?

[The Snork]

Molasses ... the official team sponser of the Nebraska defense.

[BIGREDIOWAN]

Nice tackling defense......................way to teach fundamentals coaches. You just lost several recruits by getting your a$$es spanked on national television. Stop with the "we need to execute and minimize our errors" stuff.
