Redux Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Fiance is finally done making soup, so we can go to the bar to watch this game. At least now I can start drinking. I reccomend a nice Jameson or Bushmills. Quote Link to comment
walksalone Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Sadly, I am not seeing a whole lot of "experienced staff" in this game plan....... Thats why you arent coaching at this level and neither are you... Im not questioning the staff. but he's as qualified as you are... Quote Link to comment
74Hunter Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Interesting all the people saying a defense on pace to give up 500 yards is playing greatPoints allowed > Yards allowed.This defense needs confidence right now. Preserving goose eggs will provide it. Literally ANY competent team would have points on us right now (2 missed field goals and a failure to convert 4and1). I'm sick of the moral victories, it's what turns into blowouts against good teams. And those are coming. I never thought I'd see Nebraska get shutout for a quarter by the incompetent Illinois defense. But hey... we're up 7-0 so we're gonna win the west now! I bet you also never thought that you would need to see a play of the year type play by Ameer last year for us to survive McNeese State either. I have an honest question for you, what is your purpose on here other than to nit pick and complain about everything right now? Is is because Bo is gone? You don't like Riley? A combo of both? I am not saying that everyone should be kool aid drinkers because no player or coach (to include TO for two piss poor HC hires) should be above criticism, but when you complain about the new staff failing in four plus games to get better results than the staff that recruited these players did, it makes you look like a scored lover and you lose all credibility. NOt that you seem to care, but whatever. But sunshine pumpers I ask you this. If Bo was coach, would you be defending this team's performance the way you do with Riley. Be honest.That's kind of the whole point man. It's a little difficult to take a team of guys brought in to play spread and teach them a pro-style offense. Likewise, a defense used to matchup bracket pass D learning to play run first D and quarters coverage I'm the back end AND learn how to tackle is a little bit much to chew off by the first game of conference play. But Husker fans and patience never did get along... I'm not saying fire the damned guy, but any hint of criticism is responded to with one of the following:It's Bo's fault 408 you're a troll Melvin Gordon at least the tackling is better This loss isn't as bad as needing a last second TD to beat McNeese st Adjustments Bo would have lost by even more (or the variant "Sure we lost, but Bo's teams never had any comebacks ever so we would have gotten blown out instead") Don't criticize Riley, you're just upset Bo was fired It's too early to want to fire him For the record: I supported Bo. I wanted to give him time, I thought he could get us there. That doesn't matter now. He isn't the coach at Nebraska. Riley is. We fired a coach that never won fewer than 9 games. I expect us to at least meet that number, but hopefully succeed. I like what I saw over the off season. Riley seems to be a genuinely nice guy. The players like him, media likes him, other coaches like him. Seemed to do decent in his first recruiting cycle. But then the actual season started and we lost to BYU. And we lost to Miami. And we play this like against Illinois. I have serious doubts Riley is the guy for us. He deserves time to prove me wrong, I hope he does. But, if on the journey I have some misgivings and criticism don't pull this bullsh#t that I only want Bo back or that I am a spurned lover. Go back to my posts after the firing/hiring. I moved on. It's those that defend Riley at all costs that haven't. We either get better, get worse, or we stay in this weird place of being mediocre. Ultimately, only time will tell. Can you drop 2 mics in 1 day? Is that legal? Quote Link to comment

RedRex Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Observations so far: Weber is all over the field today. We sure get a lot of good mileage out of those Elkhorn walk-ons. Gangwish has laid some vicious shots on Lunt so far. Good to see him back. B1G officials either do not understand or do not care about pass interference calls. Oh, and WTH happened with the punt return that was blown dead on a hands to the face call? You guys jinxed Westerstache with the "Return to the site of his HS glory" talk. Shame on you, you know who you are... Quote Link to comment

RunRedRun Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 is it me or is Gerry playing half speed? last week they said it was the flu? today? Actually watch him in the second half ok? Just because he hasn't had a pick doesn't mean he's not playing at full speed Hey thanks for the heads up on the pick count but I was more speaking on his speed and is 4 missed tackles.
