GSG Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 If your football team defines your life, you're doing it wrong. 2 Quote Link to comment
It'sNotAFakeID Posted December 2, 2012 Author Share Posted December 2, 2012 And so, you think the best way to help them is to be mad as hell at them, wanting them benched or wanting the coaches (of whom a lot of the players support) to be fired? Man that is some hell of a support. I understand that they play for Nebraska, I am every bit a fan as the rest of us. But supporting them by chastising them isn't necessarily the route I'd take.

NUpolo8 Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 But quite frankly we deserve better than what happened tonight. I'm really interested in knowing why you think we deserve better? Sure thing.... We deserve better because there is a dedication to winning in football by this school unparalleled be few outside of the SEC. That money -should- speak volumes. Tonight should not happen to programs like us. Quote Link to comment
Count 'Bility Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 As a side note, the Pony thing is pretty creepy. Grown men playing off a little girls cartoon? Dont come around here much do you? Quote Link to comment

Maybe again we will someday. But now? No. Quote Link to comment

HuskerInLostWages Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 So you're saying that when they embarrass themselves, we shouldn't say anything negative about them? That's not being a fan, that's burying your head in the sand and accepting the way they play. As a fan you should be able to applaud the team and be able to call them out as well. Blind support is what got us into the Callahan years. If that is what you want to do and have no gripes about it, then don't be griping about the fans that dont blindly follow the status quo. 1 Quote Link to comment

No, I'm not saying that. But the hyperbole that occurs EVERY time we lose about Bo needs to be fired or Taylor needs to be benched or Papuchis sucks or on and on and on is ridiculous. What good does that do for anyone? Really? Think about that right now. Blind support didn't get us into the Callahan years. The mentality that is starting to rear its ugly head again is what put us in the Callahan years. Quote Link to comment

It's a tough question to be sure. But this program spends too much money to have 70 hung on them on national television when it should have been their coronation. Period. Quote Link to comment

The mentality that is starting to rear its ugly head again is what put us in the Callahan years. I don't agree with that, we become complacent, we'll go back to the Callahan years. It wouldn't be so bad if this wasn't now considered a norm for a Pelini coached squad at Nebraska. We think we turn the corner and then we come out and shite the bed like tonight. We can pretty much expect 1 or 2 of these games a year under Pelini and that is simply unacceptable. Are we just going to accept getting hammered on national television and being completely outclassed at the same time? Should we expect to look like a high school team under him while he seems to have no clue what or how to fix it? Mind you, he himself had no answers for tonight and he couldn't even use his "we didn't execute" tonight. We received the same BS answers from Callahan just in different terms. Most people are mad because this happens all the time, it's become the norm. We can't simply accept that and let it slide, that is why most of us are pissed. Quote Link to comment

It's fine to say bad things all you want. everyone's upset here. The ones that want Bo fired because they think they "deserve" better, that my friend is the bullsh#t. They need to get over themselves, bigtime. Quote Link to comment

If you guys prefer your fixation on childrens cartoons, so be it. Quote Link to comment
