InOmaha Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 If Riley would have played POB in the 2nd quarter more people would have stayed to see something. When they were down by 14 with 2 or 3 first downs he could have keep people interested and tried something new. Worse case they go down 35-0 at half or something. 1 Quote Link to comment

I will instead offer that maybe we should create a safe space where our fans can be shielded from the slightest bit of criticism from former players and other fans. I wonder what we could call it.

Dansker Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 (edited) We don't have a product worthy of putting 90,000 asses in the seats. Until we do, every fan has the right to speak with their feet and get up and leave if they're not satisfied with what they're seeing. We've been putting up with these shenanigans for 19 YEARS. When are players and coaches going to uphold the standard of excellence our fan base expects? Do we expect NC's every year? No. We do expect to be in that talk every so often. We also expect to compete for conference championships. We don't expect to get blown the f out 56-14 at home or lose to MAC teams. Maybe the issue is something more. Maybe it's time to call an exorcist. Edited October 20, 2017 by FTW 2 Quote Link to comment

These coaches are paid millions, the players are getting a top notch education and a job interview for the NFL, all on our dime, if these people cannot perform at a respectable level I have a damn right to be upset. Some maturity and a little respect for others, please. Although you are passionate, which is great, please do not force upon me to say a cursive word through creative spelling. I'd rather not have to. Thank you friend. 4 Quote Link to comment
Hayseed Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 People still believe the media? Who cares what Benning says? His opinion carries the importance of one guy, just like all the rest of them. 1 Quote Link to comment

There is absolutely no patience or context of what should reasonably be expected by some on this board. Granted I don't believe he will be going pro after his junior year which he's earned some ribbing for but good lord. Who else do you expect them to play? Quote Link to comment

Enhance Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 1 hour ago, Big Red Commie said: The sellout streak is not an asset. Its just says that even though the team is terrible we will still give you our money to watch it and they are glad to accept it and do nothing. its only because the fans are leaving in droves and tickets are going for 10 bucks that has them shaking in their shoes and firing the AD and soon Riley and his gang of extortionists. You're being contradictory. You're simultaneously saying the sellout streak doesn't matter but that the administration is making decisions because 'fans are leaving in droves.' Protection of the sellout streak is exactly what this is all about because the sellout streak = money. The sellout streak = fan support. It's an incredible asset to the athletic department. Making administrative moves now builds hope and hope sells tickets. 1 Quote Link to comment
