jaws Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 I have no idea what Keven Warren is even trying to do. I understand that he was given a though hand this season, but it seems as if he failed every step of the way. I assume that Delany would have been working really hard to get Indiana in a NY6 bowl. 1 Quote Link to comment

Delaney never would've let the season start late even if the cancelation happened first. And Indiana would be in a NY6 bowl hands down, against Oregon or USC. 2 Quote Link to comment

Wake the hell up and get a life. You're putting way too much weight and investment into 18-22 year olds play a freaking game. WAHHHHHHHHHHHHH.... Cry up a storm some more... You must be one of those adults that think every kid should get a participation trophy-its an accurate analogy for you b!^@hing up a storm to have a 3-5 football team get into a bowl game that is traditionally meant for 500 teams and above.

My favorite part of this is the bold, which is not used to justify seeing your family for the first time in months at the tail end of a pandemic, but to try and justify playing a football game. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment
Crusader Husker Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 These are unprecedented times. Would I like to see them play? Yes. Hell, I would go play for them. I mean, I am laid up for two days after moving boxes. But you get what I mean. But The older I get, I understand I am not dealing with the same stuff these players and coaches are. They get Covid tested every day. They have to wait for results before they can do anything else. They have been living in a bubble for months. I am not in their shoes. Guys tougher than ours opted out. I don’t know what these guys are dealing with. Also This program needs to step back and figure out what the major malfunction is. For the future that is waaaaay more important than another butt kicking on national TV. 1 Quote Link to comment

Translation (minus the adult tantrum part): "right, cause playing any game against a decent opponent would expose us as being a very bad team that would be insult to injury and would further degrade the program in the eyes of the just about everyone." Why continue to play games at all with that logic? Quote Link to comment

Yes, standing up for the program and wanting our team which has been brought together to play games, to actually play games is now wrong? Were you in a coma just a few months ago when Frost and Moos (and the fans/media) were fighting to have a season? Talk about a 180 degree turn in people's attitudes. At least I am consistent, and still have the balls to speak my opinion, rather than parrot the sentiment of the majority. Most Husker Fan websites would be an excellent study of group think. 1 Quote Link to comment

But it's disguised as "winning mentality". I want the players to take the next two weeks off and be home with their families. Your wrong. I want us to play a game in early January with a week of practice starting the 4th and ending with a game on January 9th. Did not the NCAA say we could schedule our very own 'bowl' game? Your wrong again. Wanting a team to play while 50+ other teams are also playing is not disguising anything as anything. Your wrong yet again, again. Quote Link to comment

Shows ya what I know about group think and popular opinion. I thought most around here were pissed that they turned down a bowl opportunity and delusional enough to think it would really make a bit of difference. My opinion (not some group's) is that this team needs a break from football and a hard reboot. God knows the last thing they need right now is more of whatever this season was. Quote Link to comment

I fully agree with the break sentiment. That is why I want them to take the next two weeks off and then come back for one more week of practice January 4th and then play a scheduled 'bowl' game January 9th. This team needs any extra practices it can get and the fans deserve to see a bowl game since we have not got one since December 30th of 2016. I believe this is reinforcing a 'quitters' mentality in the team. Our players will be going home and watching other college teams play bowl games....even though the NCAA basically gave us the opportunity to schedule our own bowl game at a time of our choosing (after the holidays). An opportunity that will never come again. 1 Quote Link to comment

IMO this whole season already has a big ole asterisk beside it and one more meaningless game isn't going to change much of anything. I would prefer the coaches take a few months and get some sh#t fixed and adapt what they need to do. Quote Link to comment
