In reading various stories, I came across the following idiotic insights from a Nebraska writer:

Derek Johnson, HuskerMax (Yes, it's a minor league publication, but a publication). Here are his stupid remarks:

1. "Nebraska's short-and-efficient practices manifested itself in the Huskers calm-and-cool look, as it was on display in many a college opener this weekend. The on-field product looked a bit lackadaisical (if Nebraska had played Wisconsin this week, they'd have lost), but Pelini usually ramped up the physicality in practice mid-season."

Comment: We'd have lost to a Whisky team that passed for 50 yards? Really? What a doltz.

2. "Ameer Abdullah looks fresher than I expected. I'm not backing off of my prediction that he will miss time this year and he should have had exactly zero carries in the second half, instead of the five he had."

Comment: This moron is proud of the fact that he believes that Ameer will get injured? What a complete moron. Wow, Ameer had an entire "five" carries in the second half. Yeah, that is what you call overworking a guy.

3. "Is 50% passing quarterback the most we can expect from a Nebraska/Tim Beck quarterback? At this point in his career, Armstong shouldn't be booming the ball five yards over open receivers. But if he can improve his accuracy, he's got his running style done pat, and the size necessary to punish defenders."

Comment: This numbskull can't even appreciate the fact that Tommy turned in a great game. Screw the stats. The eye test is what counts. Sabermetrics be damned. Yeah, Tommy missed a few receivers, but not by much. For the most part, his throws were hard and crisp. To be frank in the 27 years since I first started school at UNL (No, I'm not still in school!), I have never seen a QB at NU with a better arm. Also, his leadership was great If this blowhard writer was around when Tommie Frazier was here, he'd be complaining that Frazier's passes don't have any zip on them.

Yesterday was a great day. Yeah, we beat a cream puff, but there was something different about how yesterday transpired. We all know it. I'm not saying that we wrapped up the National Championship yesterday, but it bugs me to no end when so-called "experts" can never find anything good to say.

Unfortunately husker nation has many fans who can not simply sit back and enjoy the game when we win like we did and be positive about the program.

They always have to be the ones who predict doom and gloom and find something to b!^@h about.

 
I should ban you for looking at another Husker message board!

Anybody who uses the term "lackdastical" when discussing the win over FAU should be punched in the throat.

That game was impressive no matter how you wanna look at it. 784 yard I believe. They said that's a Big Ten record. Lackdastical, what a freaking tool...

Like the op, for example.

I noticed a lot of this yesterday. Guys complaining about the defense. Someone complaining about certain players on the defense, namely Gangwish, as the defense was playing an absolutely stellar game. Then the usual clowns talking about Armstrong and so on.......as we put up one of the best offensive games in Nebraska history.

I guess there's nothing you can say to these people. If what we witnessed yesterday doesn't have you a little amped up about this team, then there's no helping you. Personally, if we keep playing like that, or more than likely get even better, I'm gonna enjoy every minute of it. Good day to be a Husker.

 
That is not an unusual piece for Johnson to write. He tends to be overly critical and is not exactly Pelini's biggest fan. My recommendation would be to use your ignore function.

 
To me its a case of two camps. The Bo-lievers saw us play a crisp game, execute well enough to put up great years, etc. The Bo-leavers saw miscues, penalties, mistackles, overthrows, etc. There was enough for either side to make their case.

If this were golf, out of 12 games for the year, this one would have a "Stroke 11" next to it. Lot of football left this year against tougher competition. It was good to see us impose our will on an inferior team but we need to eliminate several mistakes if we think we can play the same game and beat Wisky, Iowa or MSU.

When the defense holds a team to 7 points and 200 yards and the offense puts up 55 points and one of the all-time greatest yards in the same game, what more can the team have done? One of the sides does not have much to make a case.

But, But, but it was FAU.........

I agree. You put up almost 800 yards, that's a great day. most in the modern B1G era, that's a lot.

Great way to start the season regardless.

People knock the 50% completion rate and I continue to go back to Tommie (the best to ever play at the position) only had one season about 50%. As long as TA throws TD's or completions and throws in the stands or the dirt on the other ones, I could care less. The poor passes hurt, but the TO's kill us. Throw in better catching from the receivers and he will improve. I also really hope Beck continues to evaluate each week to tweak the offensive game plan. i.e. if play "X" didn't work well or at all, can it. Continue to become great at what we do well.

We didn't play Wisky, Iowa or Sparticus yesterday.......but I think close to 800 yards of offense with zero turnovers would be cause for optimism against any team.

 
Definitely. Limit the turnovers to those miraculous defensive efforts, ya know really make em work for it, and we will be a much improved team

 
Not too worked up about the 50% completion percentage. Is there room for Armstrong to improve? Of course there is, but at this point I'll take 15 for 29 over 15 for 25 + 4 sacks. If he took those sacks and ended up with a better completion percentage, could we honestly say he had a better game?

Not with any degree of sanity for one side. We haven't had a team in a long time that could put together a consistent enough performance to toss up 700 yards in 3 quarters against anyone. Everyone knows first games always have some shakiness, and hopefully everyone knows there will probably be some missteps along the way. But the simple fact is, the Huskers looked better yesterday than they have in a very long time.

That's plenty of cause for optimism (please note optimism does not necessarily mean going undefeated and winning the national title). If people want to be "cautious" that's fine, but it's due to being burned from optimism in the past, not from what they saw on the field. That's their own personal problem, not the team's.
