teachercd Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Why don't we take a look to see which things have come true, feel free to add things. 1. Recruiting will be so much better 2. We finally have an experienced staff 3. The players will get better during the season 4. No more blowouts 5. The staff will play to the players strengths 6. We will cut way down on turnovers 7. We will cut way down on penalties Some of those things are true...recruiting is way better, there were no blowouts I did love the "I don't really care about wins/losses as long as their are no more blowouts" crowd!

huskerfan92 Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 That Purdue game was a blowout. Ended up only being a 10 point game, but being down 42-16 to a team like that I would certainly consider a blowout. Overall, these guys were brought in to take us over the hump and ended up finding the deep dark depths of the Callahan era. 1 Quote Link to comment
Saunders Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Recruiting is on par with past years. It's possible they close on some big names, but as of today, it's on line with the past few years classes. The only one of those things that are definitely true is experience, if you want to pretend Purdue wasn't a blowout. 1 Quote Link to comment
JJ Husker Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Huh, I didn't know you even paid attention to the actual football side of things. I thought you were only concerned with drinking and bars and tailgating and coeds and Tanner's and what time people were leaving. Who would've suspected that it should've stayed that way?

HuskerMav11 Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 We don't have an asshat of a HC whose only response to anything is to throw a tantrum. I'm not saying Mike Riley is the best guy for the job, but he's a better guy for the job. 3 Quote Link to comment

I'm not saying Mike Riley is the best guy for the job, but he's a better guy for the job.He's a nicer guy for sure, but "better" is purely subjective. From a PR perceptive, absolutely. Performance? Not yet... It blows my mind how many people are just shrugging at this year just because Bo is gone. Quote Link to comment

NU5XChamps Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Agreed, but they aren't here. Other than TO, what coach would have worked for you and your crowd, and when he came in a had same record you guys would be singing the same song. The 9 wins the last couple of years was fools gold. We should have been 7-6 last year or worse. AA saved the team on at least 2 games for sure. Quote Link to comment

Wait...so the fact that good players were recruited to NU and that those good players made good plays to help NU win games is a bad thing?!?! 2 Quote Link to comment
