Foppa Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 One off-hand comment about nine wins got me thinking - we have tons of excuses for Husker Problems. They date back decades. Lately we've separated ourselves into a couple of camps (E or I), but that's just the most recent stuff. There's tons more. So many more that we really need to organize them. We need a list, like the Rules of the Internet (NSFW), the most famous of which is probably Rule 34 (If it exists, there's pr0n of it). Basically, you can sit around bickering about Taylor Martinez and Bo's departure to Miami or you can help with this list. Don't be a chump. Chip in. The list so far (in no particular order - numbers are for reference only): Excuse 1 - It's Bill Callahan's Fault Excuse 2 - :01 second Excuse 3 - We should be back in the Big XII. Excuse 4 - Bo Pelini inherited a wrecked ship, Osborne inherited a team that had won two national championships. Excuse 5 - The cameras always focus on Bo. Excuse 6 - Tape-gate. Excuse 7 - Bill Callahan didn't wear Nebraska gear to a presser once. Excuse 8 - Aaron Green didn't get a fair chance. Neither did Cody Green. It's not easy being Green. Excuse 9 - #9wins Excuse 10 - Harvey Perlman meddles in the program too much. Excuse 11 - Taylor Martinez is the best quarterback to ever play for Nebraska. Excuse 12 - It's the defense. Excuse 13 - Too many 11am games. Excuse 14 - Tim Miles is better at social media than Bo. Excuse 15 - Hire Scott Frost. Excuse 16 - Barney Cotton is the root of all our woes. Excuse 17 - A player said something on twitter. Excuse 18 - We're not the greatest fans. Excuse 19 - Shawn Eichorst doesn't support Bo. Excuse 20 - That booster said something once. Excuse 21 - Bo only hires his friends Excuse 22 - Stars don't matter. Excuse 23 - The backups don't get enough playing time. Excuse 24 - ESPN sucks and/or hates us. Excuse 25 - The Media hates us. Excuse 26 - Signing small classes hurt your rankings Excuse 27 - Large recruiting classes have more lower-ranked players and hurts your rankings Excuse 28 - We need to run the Option more. Excuse 29 - We need to pass it more. Excuse 30 - We need to run it more. Excuse 31 - Tim Beck!!!!!! Excuse 32 - We don't use the Fullback anymore Excuse 33 - Callahan killed the Walk-On program Excuse 34 - Does Bo ever take a good picture? Excuse 35 - We should have kept Shawn Watson Excuse 36 - Bring back Marvin Sanders! Excuse 37 - That Penn State player was out of bounds. Excuse 38 - Suh got robbed of the Heisman Excuse 39 - Tommie Frazier got robbed of the Heisman Excuse 40 - That Florida State player fumbled at the goal line. Excuse 41 - We play more games now Excuse 42 - We don't have enough night games Excuse 43 - Our schedule is too weak. There are more. Tons and tons more. Help me out. It's amazing how after about 4 billion '9 wins' posts and comments, I was the one to lead to the soliciting of this OP. And the funny thing was, I wasn't asking for anyone to get fired. I was just suggesting that winning fixes a lot of things that everyone on here bitches about. But even if it was 'off-hand,'I guess we'll keep beating a dead horse because that's what we're best at.

True2tRA Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Us versus the world........forgot who us was. Turns out we f#*k ourselves. Quote Link to comment
NUance Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 The ncaa targeted us when they passed the targeting rule. Our players don't have football speed. We always suck when we wear throwbacks. When a player's phone rings during a team meeting it make Bo blow a gasket. Quote Link to comment
