*****Official Northwestern Game Discussion Thread*****

Venting on this board saved me a remote, a lamp, a TV and maybe a divorce.

Wow. Not at all how it should have went, but a W is a W. I think we could be delaying the inevitable, but nonetheless. This team will not be able to play like this and come out with wins very often, but glad we got this one. Good job to the kids, looked pretty tough and full of effort to me.

Players of the game:

 

Martinez and Jean-Baptiste

 

Done forget Quincy Enunwa

Martinez... You high? Pass it on over.

 

350 passing yards, 65 rushing yards, 4 TD's, and no turnovers..... Are you high?

[Manny Bob]

Guys...you want talent here? You want UG's here? You need an ass-kicking program. Simple.

Will this cut the mustard? Barely beat NW?? Or should we compete and kick Michigan's, OSU's, MSU's, and PSU arses????

[MichiganDad3]

Martinez bails us out. Pelini still needs to go, I'm sick of him making us look bad on TV. And he has clearly lost control of this team as evidenced by the Antonio Bell incident and the players-only meeting a couple of weeks ago.

 

+1

He does look like a fool yelling at everyone instead of coaching

Good leaders praise in public and criticize in private.

[The Red & White Knight]

This team is extremely talented.

 

But they are not disciplined. THey play by emotion.

Tmart s*cks!

Excellent.

I'm glad I can finally unpucker my butthole

Pelini got caught twice on the sideline in VERY bad situations. First was after the sideline infraction, he PHYSICALLY pulled coaches off the sideline. Second was the argument with Antonio Bell... it is pretty damn telling when you've got players yelling at you on the sidelines. Not to mention the numerous times he was caught chewing out players. This teams issues with consistency?? Pretty hard to be consistent and not make mistakes when you get humiliated by your head coach after making one. Players leaving in the off season, and DURING the season? Players-only meetings?

 

There is definitely a rift between Bo and the players. Kinda mind-blowing when his biggest credential coming in was how "his players run through brick walls for him".

What?? Not in the coaching industry. If you waited till you were in private to criticize a players "play" then how would you make in game adjustments....

[Jeremy]

One more win, and we get a bowl. That's a good thing, right? In all seriousness, though, coming back like that in the 4th quarter is a testament to this team, especially since it's the second time this season.

You don't think this stuff happens all over the country. Remember when Saban was spanking his QB on the sidelines a few years ago? Nobody cares because he wins titles....

[TonyStalloni]

Great job by the team to overcome the negative and pull out the win. O and D both did the job when they had to. Not pretty but it goes in the record book as a win.
