HuskerinSunDiego Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 They have grandiose egos but mediocre heart. Knapplc, you and I have had some disagreements, but I'll give you this: This comment by you was one of the best of the year. Quote Link to comment
TheSker Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Cotton made two mistakes that just happen to be situations that could happen on any play. Just happened to be on big ones. If they were on no gainers no one would give a sh#t. Thats a hindsight thing. Theywere also aggressive penalties. Make a mistake at full speed they say. "Just happened to be on big ones" cannot happen. Directly cost points and field position. He's a captain. So because he is a captain, he isn't allowed to make mistakes? Well I guess we have no qualified captains, then. It's not "just" the mistakes.....it's when they happen. It's a comment about leadership. Quote Link to comment
skersfan Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 I think the worst part, is that each and every one of us expect it to happen. I never felt that way. I always thought we would win, never be embarrassed. Sure it happened, but now nothing surprises me. I no longer worry about it, as I realize I have little power to fix the problem. I have gotten many calls to day! REALLY!!! McNeese State???? I am more sad than angry. Quote Link to comment
husker B-rent Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 I have to agree, kb talks a lot but hasn't been our best receiver in two years. He is just our best known receiver and like others have said he takes a lot of plays off. I think he is a good guy but I think the fame is more important than the game for him sometimes.

Beez Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 You can't teach character. I don't think. I disagree. I think this is on the coaching staff. You see it all the time. A new coach comes in, like Harbaugh in Stanford, or Chip Kelly in Oregon and the team consistently overachieves at the beginning. They change the attitude. This team is clearly playing below it's capability, hence winning in the last minute at home against McNeese State. There are no excuses for what happened today, the team was not prepared, and that's on the staff. Quote Link to comment

knapplc Posted September 7, 2014 Author Share Posted September 7, 2014 Just like to point out that this snapshot of this player being tackled by three opponents at the 50 yard line resulted in a touchdown. Not really sure where else to put this. But it underscores how much some players care. 5 Quote Link to comment
presidentjlh Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 It'll get better. Maybe not this season or with this coach. But it will. Quote Link to comment
presidentjlh Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Well, I'm going to go drink and laugh at the rest of this conference in a sad way. 1 Quote Link to comment
HuskerNBigD Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 On the bright side, Texas is losing to BYU 20-0. 34-0 now, as a Nebraska fan in Texas - I love it. 1 Quote Link to comment

How do you know if the play would be a TD or a big gain if the penalty usually happens before the TD or long gain occurs? It's not like the play was already a big play and he blocked someone in the back. The result of the play was still very much in doubt when the infraction occurred. The fact that they occurred on the plays they did was unfortunate. Quote Link to comment
