Klotz for Hire Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 Hello again, The events of Saturday were tough. Today sucked as well. Notice, however, the past tense references. What we have in front of us . . . what remains . . . is a damn good team with high expectations for themselves. We need to remember that the reason why the kids that are in the program are there is because the coaching staff recognized that on any given day, these kids could be capable of raising their level of play to a higher degree, and their abilities to lead and/or assume necessary roles will be enhanced by this bump in the road. I'm a mite pissed off that I have seen references such as . . " could we still get a Juco QB?," and "What if Josh Freeman . . ." Furthermore, I am disgusted when I hear that our secondary is "in trouble" or "too thin." Tumultuous isolated periods of time such as these are not times that Husker fans start flipping out. It's an opprtunity for True Huskers to support and encourage the current team and coaching staff to raise the level. So too, we need to start whipping these fairweather fans into shape and getting everyone on the bus. Joe Ganz will probably never be Zac Taylor, but in a given game, he is just as capable of making a key play. Isaiah Fluellen and Bryan Wilson are nowhere close to what Zack Bowman is, but in a given game, they are just as capable of making a key play. The point here, is that freaking out and considering whack or unrealistic scenarios is not the right mindset. Downass Husker fans know that this is the perfect time to get behind this team. If your not done being flipping out yet, don't bother posting on this topic. Thanks! Quote Link to comment
DaveH Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 I agree with what you are saying. People absolutely FLIP and it cracks me up. We still have a team that has a lot on it's side. I can't wait Quote Link to comment
ttheKid1*18 Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 This team will be fine. It's not like they respected Beck anyways, so that is not a huge loss. Bowman is another story with what he brought to the team, but the whole D will do fine as a whole, and shouldn't worry. GBR! Quote Link to comment
rawhide Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 Still think the season will be great. Especially since the coaches think the new guys are trying to step up their game. GBR Quote Link to comment
huskerdavo Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 I am over it and ready to see new faces emerge. We have alot more depth in the secondary then when Bowman first arrived so dont throw in the towel yet. Beck will be replaced and we will move on with someone commited to the Big Red Quote Link to comment
zoogs Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 Well, it's frustrating. We were going along fine, with no problems, laughing at the Sooners, and then we lose Bowman and Beck goes over to the Dark Side. But you're right, we aren't doomed. It's just frustrating that this had to happen. But Isiah Fluellen plays CB? I didn't know that... Quote Link to comment
DJR313 Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 But Isiah Fluellen plays CB? I didn't know that... Since when? Quote Link to comment
Redman Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 As far as I am concerned, Beck was simply a character in a few newspapers and online recruiting sites. End of story. Here is to the new facilities, the new season, and the true Huskers that are still working their whatever-is-best-for-the-team oriented red-blooded asses off, and kicking the crap out of every team they play this year.

ttheKid1*18 Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 But Isiah Fluellen plays CB? I didn't know that... Since when? It was announced on 1620 earlier today. Maybe he will surprise some people. He has a lot of speed, so maybe he will make a splash. Quote Link to comment
bennychico11 Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 if Beck was complaining that he was 4th in line to be QB...then there was probably a reason he was 4th and it's no loss of skin off our back if he leaves. I hate to make it sound like the lower guys don't matter, but if they're gonna be a bitch about it I'd rather see a 4th string guy leave than someone like Taylor. THEN we'd have something to worry about. We'll be fine. It sucks about Bowman, but he'll bounce back next year. We'll still do well. Two players don't make the team, the team makes the team...and right now the team is practicing and needs all our support put behind them so that we go out and kick ass this year!!! We'll go undefeated this year!!!!! Quote Link to comment
BIGREDIOWAN Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 I'm a mite pissed off that I have seen references such as . . " could we still get a Juco QB?," I'm pretty sure your referring to a post that I had on another topic so lets not try to hide that fact!!!! I made that comment because of how good Taylor has been being a JUCO transfer. It's a way to be safe just in case because you never know??? It's an opprtunity for True Huskers to support and encourage the current team and coaching staff to raise the level. So too, we need to start whipping these fairweather fans into shape and getting everyone on the bus. I've been a true husker fan since I was 7 years old!!! If you look at most of the posts from people you can see most people are saying "good riddance" and "who cares" me included I could care less that he left!!! I don't know much about Ganz, but I have faith in our coaching staff and believe they will make the right decisions!!! When I first joined this board in Nov. 05 there were a lot of people that called themselves die hard fans that didn't like Cally and thought he was a horrible coach and thought he would be a joke, but the true fans are the ones that support their team no matter what and your definately right about that!!!

HSKRNOKC Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 I dont consider asking if there are any juco QB s out there worth their salt, (flipping out). Simply stating that there is a void created that could be filled. I am no where close to where I was say ..... after Kansas game last year. Yes I was a little disturbed then. We arent in urgent immediate need right now of a qb. Would hurt to look around though. Quote Link to comment
ttheKid1*18 Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 Any other player that we can get right now would be good in my book right now. GBR! Quote Link to comment
BIGREDIOWAN Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 Exactly HSKRNOKC and kid thank you very much!!! I thought I was being called a bad fan there for a sec.!!!! I didn't want to have to crazy up in this mo' fo' Quote Link to comment

I didn't want to have to crazy up in this mo' fo' You're not a bad fan at all. I see exactly where you are coming from. Suddenly this loss has happened and the season is over, and we won't win any games. O.K. I'll see you back on the bandwagon 1-8-07. GBR!! Quote Link to comment
