brophog Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Still, how to you lose (actually get beat down) to Perdue and then beat Mich St?? the world may never now. Actually, the world does know. The difference between any two athletes, and therefore teams, is several multiples less than the hype machines make it sound. Quote Link to comment
BoNeyard Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 even at Or State Riley was always good for an upset. He does so almost yearly. 2 Quote Link to comment
HuskersNC949597 Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 even at Or State Riley was always good for an upset. He does so almost yearly. Had 14 wins over ranked teams in 14 years at OSU. He met his 1-per-year quota Quote Link to comment
Bowfin Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 From the begging? lol Yep. Riley is always bumming smokes and change off of the reporters and stadium employees. He says he doesn't get his first NU paycheck until after Thanksgiving, and he claims he's been sleeping in the laundry room at some hotel his whole time at Nebraska. 1 Quote Link to comment
admo Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 I agree about this win becoming a springboard. Pretty impressive to beat an unbeaten top 10 team in November. Especially a team that's fighting for a spot in the playoffs. I hope the team, fans, coach's and everyone who loves the Huskers - can celebrate this win. And please, no more 11AM games EVER 1 Quote Link to comment
Tomhusker64 Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 While I still think Reilly is not the right coach for this job, have to give him credit for getting a signature win over a top 10 opponent. something Bo never did. Still, how to you lose (actually get beat down) to Perdue and then beat Mich St?? the world may never now. Wasn't Mizzou a top ten team when we beat them in the rain down there? Or the year after? IIRC they knocked off #1(ish) OU and then we beat them the following week. I could be wrong tho. Quote Link to comment

Sargon Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 What was he begging for? Begging for a banning IMO but there's 10 others higher on the list Quote Link to comment
Thanks_Tom RR Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 So, were Finnin and Stevenson what was holding this team back? Imagine what this season would have been like without them. 1 Quote Link to comment

Nobody Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 not sure you hating him was warranted... he never did any begging 1 Quote Link to comment
Nobody Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 i'm not sold on riley yet. he almost lost us the game with that pooch call. he CONSISTENTLY finds ways to be bad at coaching when it matters most. I cannot and will not look away from it. Huge win, nonetheless. 2 Quote Link to comment

And please, no more 11AM games EVER You and me both. I despise 11 AM games. We're just a different monster under the lights, lol. A win should unite everybody but of course there will be people who just won't ever accept things for what they are and I get that. Every fan base has those people. Regardless of the negativity, this was a great game and a great win for our program!!! Quote Link to comment

I cannot and will not look away form it. Huge win, nonetheless. I don't think Riley himself is calling those plays. I think with Riley he lets his coaches call the plays whatever they are in charge with. I think he is more of a CEO type coach. With that being said, he better find a new ST coach and DC fast.

I cannot and will not look away form it. Huge win, nonetheless. The game management and clock management stuff is getting old. We damn near blew it by letting the clock tick away and not running a 2-minute offense/no huddle. I thought that was questionable and the fans were losing their minds over it. I don't think I've heard such urgency like that from the crowd since maybe 2004 when we almost upset Texas. Quote Link to comment
