grandpasknee Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Losing games like this sucks. I've been a Husker fan since '65, listening with my grandpa on the radio. It seems there are at least three groups of folks on this board. 1. People that love Nebraska Husker Football, period. They hate the losses like everyone else, and post legitimate opinions about staff and players. But they do so without malice, just well thought out opinions. 2. There are people who view themselves as Husker Fans, but have somehow let how the Huskers perform become an important part of their personal identity. These folks tend to spew hate at players and coaches at the drop of the hat, with no real thought opinions other than "such and such if an f@#$ing clown". 3. Trolls. I can put up with the folks in groups 1 and 3. I feel badly for group 2. While they are vocal, gladly, outside of message boards they are a minority. 5 Quote Link to comment
Jeremy Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Yeah. And we're only calling for firings because in at least 3 of these losses, the coaches are absolutely at fault. Quote Link to comment
Landlord Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Nope. This sucks and hurts but I'll go run errands and hang out tonight and everything will be just fine, because it's a game played and coached by people I don't know and that don't care about me. I'm a fan for a lot of reasons, and one of them is to be entertained. If you don't like the idea of losing, then be a fan of something other than sports, because that is what makes sports great - you never know the outcome. The reactions of so many online are beyond childish it's mostly hilarious but also a good dose of pathetic. 1 Quote Link to comment
HuskerfaninOkieland Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 I love the Huskers but they're playing like sh#t Quote Link to comment

And that's why you are in group one. You made a perfectly valid point without getting vile or vulgar. Quote Link to comment
ladyhawke Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Nope. Life goes on, the sun will rise in the morning. Am I disappointed? Sure but bottom line is this: even if we would've won, many folks on this board would've complained how we won and it wouldn't have been kind. For any of the players that read this board-ignore the naysayers, learn from this game and press on. There will still be folks that will be ready to cheer you on! GO BIG RED! 2 Quote Link to comment
ladyhawke Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 I love the Huskers but they're playing like sh#t Do you call the touchdown Andy made-crap? Do you call the way the defense held this team time and time again-crap? There were som crappy plays but the play wasn't all bad was it? 1 Quote Link to comment
admo Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Love the Huskers. Close, heartbreaking losses are defeats I can deal with - a lot more than seeing my team being taken to the woodshed. Today I feel bad for the team. They were so close and could almost taste the victory. 3 Quote Link to comment

skersfan Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Just love the state, the University and the team. Heart breaking loss today. We are a walking wounded team. The kids tried, never quit. That is all I ever ask for. 2 Quote Link to comment

Ask any former player that put banners up - they were not, are not, and never will be okay with 'the play wasn't all bad, was it?' Quote Link to comment
Landlord Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 YOU KNOW WHAT!?!?... you're right. F winning. Who cares? Grown men with no meaningful or direct connection to the team they're supporting shouldn't care to the extent that they're depressed and raging and need to consume copious amounts of alcohol to cope with it. 2 Quote Link to comment
skersfan Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Not many of those on here landlord. Quote Link to comment

Oh, you've changed my mind. Who gives a flying F if Nebraska doesn't win another game all season. You have converted me to your thinking. I always thought winning was awesome, but losing.. it's starting to grow on me. 2 Quote Link to comment
84HuskerLaw Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 This is the first loss this year where I personally feel we deserved to lose - by several TDs really. they ate us up the second half and we sucked offensively for about 80% of the game. Again, we lost the special teams phase. this one remains a head scratcher to me as we have talent there. Why oh why can't we win special teams. Quote Link to comment
