knapplc Posted September 27, 2014 Author Share Posted September 27, 2014 (edited) Reading a lot of these responses, I can't shake the feeling that many of you didn't actually read the OP. A whole lot of straw man arguments up in here. Dude, I cannot +1 this enough. It's like they said on White Men Can't Jump. These people are listening to Jimmy Jimi, but they're not hearing Jimmy Jimi. Edited September 27, 2014 by knapplc I have shamed myself. Quote Link to comment

mwj98 Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Funny. Can read and understand original post. If you wanna pop the balloon, knock yourself out. Give the team credit. Quit nitpicking. If you wanna nitpick. Get some yarn, a rocking chair and get at it! 1 Quote Link to comment
mwj98 Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Yea. We suck. We are only 4-0. Wait 5-0. We didn't beat anyone. We haven't proved anything. We have a weak offense. Defense sux. Quote Link to comment

Hayseed Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 I was glad to hear Bo address the sloppy play and bad defense that will get us killed against the top teams. At least he sees the things that need to be fixed, whether the players can make it happen is a different subject. Quote Link to comment

Defense sux. News flash, we still haven't beaten anyone. Illinois is a dumpster fire at best. Agreed. We are exactly where most expected us to be right now. Next weekend, let's go out and do something that few expect us to do: win. Quote Link to comment
Thanks_Tom RR Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Yea. We suck. We are only 4-0. Wait 5-0. We didn't beat anyone. We haven't proved anything. We have a weak offense. Defense sux. News flash, we still haven't beaten anyone. Illinois is a dumpster fire at best. Agreed. We are exactly where most expected us to be right now. Next weekend, let's go out and do something that few expect us to do: win. Pre-season, many did not have us undefeated going into conference play or the only undefeated team in the B1G after week 5. Our offense was supposed to struggle behind a new QB, and our young secondary and lack of DE depth was supposed to limit an otherwise solid defense. Don't get me wrong, 5-0 is were I thought we would be right now, but we were picked 3rd in our division with no chance to beat any of the great powers in the East division. At this point, this team is performing beyond expectations. We will see just how good they are next weekend. Quote Link to comment
mwj98 Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 I was being sarcastic. But a good buddy of mine, who is a huge Iowa fan out it like this....."Nebraska is back to crushing the teams they should crush, not have close ones like in the past". Ball state. Maine. I remember those nail bitters. That's all. I just really want this team to get back to being a legitimate threat. I am very protective like we all are of this team. And I will go down in flames protecting them. And yes, I'll drink the kool aid if we are national champs or 0-10. GBR!! Quote Link to comment
tschu Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 I agree with all of that. Certainly good to see us taking care of business where we should be. It's better than the alternative. But this week is our Super Bowl, and Wisconsin is our World Series. Basically the entire rest of our schedule is a steaming pile of manure. I'll be happy if we go 1-1 in those games, and don't get blown out in the loss. That should be enough to get to Indy. Quote Link to comment
StPaulHusker Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 So things we have accomplished so far: Started 5-0 for only the second time in how many years? Avoided the upset by inferior opponent at home. Avoided a loss on the road in "hostile" location Beat a Power 5 school Avoided a let down after beating Power 5 school. While some people will argue the quality of opponent, these were areas that most criticized Pelini led teams to always have happen. Still a long season ahead, of course, but their level of play to this point is pretty good. 3 Quote Link to comment
