Should've never left the Big 12...

[Nobody]

It doesn't matter who they put in front of us... we should beat them all.

 

Attitude-wise, this is the mentality that the team needs to adopt. But we as fans need to look at it realistically and realize that this is very unlikely to happen.

 

so you're saying that fans have lowered their expectations? well thats a whole different issue and arguably a larger one.

[Peoriahusker]

I felt that the decision to move to the Big10 was wrong from the beginning. We left all of our tradition behind and went to this overrated conference. NU made a hasty, emotional decision

after an another ill-fated venture to the Big 12 title game. Bo's team was built to stop teams with speed (Mizzou, OU, Ttech, Okie Lite, to name a few). Wisconsin was shoving us around all day

on Saturday. Their offensive linemen dwarfed our front four. Taylor had no protection up front to speak of. His big run was a fluke scramble. Sure it was a good play but cmon man he cant pull that out of his butt more than once a game...

 

And now look, the big dogs in the Big 12 are shadows of their former selves. Texas is mediocre, OU is much weaker than they used to be. KSU is overrated we would've ended their season before it started.

the rest of the Big 12 is laughable. Give me Kansas or Iowa State before Michigan State and Wisconsin. Sure some will say that those teams have beaten us in the past. But the fact is the bottom feeders in

the Big12 are much more beatable than their counterparts in the Big10. Some say that Texas was too greedy and we had to go. This is true, I hate Texas with a passion, but we still could've negotiated with them if we would've manned up and took care of our business. We could've said give us a Cornhusker network and you can have your Longhorn network. We could've had our own profits and they theirs.

Yes Texas is a greedy sumbitch but we could've even negotiated a Big 12 network or something. No, we had to take our woes on the football field and we put them on the negotiating table. The Big10 pays their schools a lot more but I bet all we are doing is paying Bo and his idiot staff.

 

I know its a dead horse but... there was no way we should've been beaten that bad. We had some bad days in the Big 12 but at least we were competitive in the championship games. WTF was this crap

that BO put on the field. He is not giving any answers. All he says is "If you think you can do better you come coach here." Well I'm not the one being paid a handsome salary. He obviously had way more talent at LSU and that was thanks to the Hat. At LSU he could sit in a nickel formation all day because the players are nfl talent. We are not the talented. We are ok but idk anyone on this team who will be in the pros. Name one that will be a starter in the NFL someday. Maybe Burkhead but he's too fragile to really play with the big boys. If he was that good he would've done much better than he has. Abdullah will be much better than Burkhead and he could be a lot better if we had a decent RB coach.

 

Bo needs to start holding his people accountable. Our ten wins mean nothing now. Georgia is a more interesting opponent than Stanford but I would much rather have been a conference champion.

NU needs to get Bo a better OC thats for sure bro. I see no creativity with this team on both sides of the ball. Same nickel formation with maybe one blitz a game, yeah that sounds like a good defensive scheme. We never run trick plays on offense or even a basic counter play anymore. How many times has Taylor tucked the ball and scrambled on 3rd and 10 cuz no one was open? I've lost count. How many bone headed penalties has Stafford committed? Again I've lost count. Where is the coaching? 3 years later we are still getting called for clipping, holding, and flagrant PI. Papuchis is a clown. No class, no restraint he just jumps around like a friggin monkey or just stands there with a blank look on his face. None of the coaches ever go around and tell the players what needs to be done better or how to do it better. I miss the days when Bo would get in his players face. But he has had to back off from because he gets to out of control.

 

I swear if one of these assistant coaches isn't let go at the end of the season, I will eat my hat. They are getting paid way too much to allow our players to get manhandled like that. This was maybe the worst loss ever... How could the players have played that badly? We had plenty to play for. We were playing a bad Wisconsin team. We were on a hotstreak. And we lay a giant turd on the field. There are

no excuses Bo! Wtf happend out there??? Bo is officially on the hot seat. Even if we somehow beat Georgia that Wisconsin game was just...just....bad... I'm sorry my first post is a rant but wow

 

So part of your argument is that we could have played easier teams this year in the Big12? Really?

[gobiggergoredder]

Welcome to Huskerboard. I'd try not to make post #2. Just make up a new name.

[robsker]

if this season NU were still in the B12... our conference record would be below .500. We would likely have 4-5 regular season losses and at least as many (or more) epic blowout losses than what we had this year. No.... being in the weak B10 has helped NU record-wise... in the B12 NU would have been exposed earlier, more often, and to a greater degree.

[N2Deep]

Whatever you people are ignant.

[irafreak]

I'm sorry but over half the teams from the Big 12 would've beaten us this year. Kstate is one of the most fundamentally sound teams in the country. I still think if Klein hadn't got injured they would've won the Baylor game and be playing Notre Dame right now. Klein didn't look like his old self until the second half of the texas game.

[robsker]

Whatever you people are ignant.

 

Could you please define the term "ignant" for me.... I could not find it in the dictionary.

I'm glad I've read this board for awhile so I know that you don't represent NU's fanbase. Very pathetic mindset.

Yep!

 

 

Nebraska has hit the LB position hard since moving to the B1G. These guys are going to be fun to watch.

[TGHusker]

Big 10 is the right spot for us. $$ better, academic better, tradition better. Football strength will cycle back around to the Big 10 eventually. We may be the "SEC" in 5 years. OSU hire of Myer will force other schools to upgrade their coaching talent (perhaps NU is next) to keep up. That will only strengthen the conference.

Yes, we should have stayed in the Big 12... Because for us to become relevant again we need to be playing what you call mediocre teams.

 

 

I'm sorry but I love the move to the B1G. Better teams, better fit, and most importantly the league isn't controlled by a single team.

 

With next year's easier schedule, if we can get past Michigan, Michigan State, and PSU there is a good chance we get into the B1G CCG undefeated. Just imagine 12-0 Nebraska vs 12-0 Ohio State playing not for a trip to the Rose Bowl but to go the the MNC.

Couldn't find it in the dictionary? Then I guess you will remain ignant of its meaning.

 

 

/ you and me both. lol

[WoodyHayes1951]

Last year we were 6-7.

 

We would have won 3 more games(Turdue, PSU and scUM) if we had LB play comparable to the 2002-2010 teams. From 6-7 to 9-4! Just from one position!

 

 

Looking at your games that is your problem too.

 

And that is the biggest reason why the drop in the success for the Big Ten since 2008.
