It'sNotAFakeID Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 I believe that currently 25% of the starters on offense and defense are walkons. Glad the walkon program is keeping players on the field, but 408 really crapped the bed when it came to recruiting. Riley has a great bunch of top players in to visit this weekend, it is a huge start to rebuild the program so we can be competitive again. We were competitive. Last year and the years prior. We are not now. Just so you know. Not competitive??? Where ya been bro? We lost 3 games by a total of 9 points. Under 408, we routinely lost games by 30-40 points. A little more competitive this year don't ya think? We lost those games by 30-40 to Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio State. We lost 3 games by a total of 9 points to Illinois, Miami, and BYU. That's a big difference. Tomorrow is a chance to show if we can hang with Wisconsin. 1 Quote Link to comment

We lost all of our games by last year by 34 points, Didn't think you were a cherry picker but guess I was wrong. 2014 - 34 points 2013 - 63 points 2012 - 84 points 2011 - 69 points Quote Link to comment

A current average of 3 points vs an overall average of 408 coached teams of 15.6 pts. That's an average of a +2td loss per game over the last 4 years. Don't even bring Riley into that discussion! But hey, lets let the season play out and see where we are at. Quote Link to comment
Bowfin Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 According to Kansas State's Bill Snyder, 62 years old is still wet behind the ears. So Riley has my patience and forbearance until he reaches 70. Quote Link to comment
brophog Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 According to Kansas State's Bill Snyder, 62 years old is still wet behind the ears. So Riley has my patience and forbearance until he reaches 70. K-state can't win more than five games without him. Their entire research budget goes to discovering the fountain of youth.

neepster Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 In Bo's defense. The teams he lost so badly to were a LOT better than the 3 teams Riley has lost to. On the other hand, I was supremely impressed the team came back against Miami. They would never have done that for Bo. I say give Riley to the end of next year. If the trajectory is not up, then get rid of him. I frankly doubt it will be but I would love to be surprised. Quote Link to comment
tmfr15 Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Four years... wow. That's just mighty big of ya! Seriously, we should give the guy time. If we don't, well, we are sabotaging our own program because this negativity will just add to misery. It won't lead to a coaching change. And it probably shouldn't. 1 Quote Link to comment
zoogs Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 I don't think we can actually truly sabotage the program; it's a matter of how much the coaches let it affect them. But it will definitely add to our misery. And, why? So we can be the first ones to fall off the bandwagon in the event Riley ends up having to be fired? ... Quote Link to comment
Count 'Bility Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Hes 62. How much time he gets is probably not up to us anyway. Just sayin. Quote Link to comment
74Hunter Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 guess I was wrong. No arguments here. Quote Link to comment

HuskersBeatIowa Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 He held Illinois 100+ yards under the season average for passing yards..... I'm sure the hurricane type winds around whole country didn't have anything to do with that. There were 35mph swirling winds, look at Tommies numbers last week. Don't look to much into stats, Banker's still garbage more likely than not. 1 Quote Link to comment
