When I posted this originally, I was frustrated with all the fire Riley postings. I was hoping that my post would help in calming things just a little. After reviewing all the subsequent posts, it appears I had made it worse. What I really find interesting is all the new name posters. I have been reading this board for a long time. I usually keep my thoughts to myself, laugh at some I read and shake my head at others. But, the fire the coach thing is really getting out of hand. Even with all the reposting of my post, nobody addressed the main point I was making.

Its not about the wins or losses, Its about how you play the game. We, the husker faithful, used to keep that in mind and close to our hearts. Not so much anymore. Too bad, that is what made us special as a fan base.

Okay, all you haters..... Ready, set, go.......

There must be some who agree with you, NU5X. You received 17 +1s for your OP. (So far.) I've only seen a handful of posts on HB since we've been giving out +1s that were more well received.

:

If it's really about how you play the game, then I suggest that you 2 and anyone that plus 1'd your posts actually watch the games.
The team hasn't gotten better, and has actually regressed in many Areas.

Do you think losing Ameer and Randy Gregory, and the injuries we have on defense, have any impact on our team?

Every team loses players.
Injuries are not an excuse. They weren't for the past 7 years even when we actually lost all American caliber players, why would they now?

Coach em up, coach em up.

Excuses are not acceptable here.

This train of thought is everything that is wrong with this fanbase. What "all American caliber players" did Bo recruit and lost to injury? You can't "coach up" slow players to run faster, This team lacks talent and depth so there isn't anything to "coach up." Not to mention we have a QB who had a completion percentage in the 50's when he had Ameer carrying the load on offense, now we don't have a RB on the roster that other teams need to game plan for. And people expect him to play better trying to shoulder the load on his own? The kid has a ton of heart, but is still inaccurate and that is killing this offense. So unless TA (who is playing hurt) all of a sudden becomes an accurate passer, or we have a RB that distances himself from the others, not to mention a very shaky OL that need to help both a lot better than they are then we will see the same thing every week. A very frustrating offense that leaves the defense on the field for too long and with their lack of depth will wear out in the 4th quarter.

Sorry, but I refuse to accept mediocrity. If that's being "selfish" or "pathetic" so be it.

Then good luck getting coaches, or even recruits, that want to come here.

If you are content with attracting coaches and players that want to be mediocre, all the power to ya. I'm not.

No coach is going to want to come here if there is a chance of them getting fired after a mediocre first season. And no recruits are going to want to come here if they are going to have different coaches every year. Sometimes you just have to bite the bullet the first year or two.

Sorry but I don't consider a losing record (which is likely what we'll end up with this year) "mediocre." By our standards (at least what they USED to be) a 9-win season is mediocre.

 

[Saunders]

I am ashamed of our FAN BASE. We are 6 games into a new era and the supposed "greatest fans in college football", want to fire everyone. It's pathetic if you ask me.

Eh, I disagree. Show me another school in the country that would pack their stadium, and have the kind of energy that was there on Saturday, with a losing record (and year to date performance) like Nebraska currently has. As Sam McKewon said, there isn't one.

Sometimes a simple tweet sums things up pretty well.

Just the previous 2 years we lost our 4 year all conference and former Heisman "mentioned" starting QB, ( and for at least a few games) the second leading rusher in school history and an all American caliber DE, yet we were still able to win games.

At RB there is no excuse for the mismanagement and spit balling approach that is being used. We have 5 4* guys, it's football not rocket surgery.

So it was a pretty big dropoff going from Helu to Abdullah? That's what your argument is based on?

First, between Roy and Ameer, there was this dude named Rex that was the #1 guy. He got a hurt a couple of times and we still won games.

Second, you may want to read my posts before commenting on them. You do realize that Ameer is the #2 in school history and he hurt his knee last year, don't you?

While I recognize we have areas we have failed in, I don't agree. Our receivers are catching more balls, QB play has been better for the most part and our tackling has been much better.

We have played a considerably harder non con schedule and although lost a couple of heartbreaks, showed we are right there and have not folded the tent up when things were going south. This team regardless of records, has not quit when things go bad like teams we have had in the recent past.

I guess we will agree to disagree on what we are seeing on the tube! Maybe the attitude we have when we watch the game plays a part in how we view it?

Frank Solich was fired for being mediocre. This is pathetic.

I'd agree that for the most part, tackling has been better.
The drops are actually worse this year than the past few. Tommys completion percentage and rushing numbers are not as good as in his past.

Under the previous staff we had many of the biggest comebacks in school history, so please quit with the false narrative that the team would have folded.

While the non con was a little more difficult than last year's, I'd say that UW isn't as good,, and let's not forget that we haven't played a ranked team yet.

As for attitude when watching the game, I don't know how poor your attitude is our isn't, I just know that I'm content not having to bust my a$$ and bring able to drink beer for 4 hours.

I usually keep my thoughts to myself, laugh at some I read and shake my head at others. But, the fire the coach thing is really getting out of hand. Even with all the reposting of my post, nobody addressed the main point I was making.

Its not about the wins or losses, Its about how you play the game. We, the husker faithful, used to keep that in mind and close to our hearts. Not so much anymore. Too bad, that is what made us special as a fan base.

Okay, all you haters..... Ready, set, go.......

There must be some who agree with you, NU5X. You received 17 +1s for your OP. (So far.) I've only seen a handful of posts on HB since we've been giving out +1s that were more well received.

If it's really about how you play the game, then I suggest that you 2 and anyone that plus 1'd your posts actually watch the games.
The team hasn't gotten better, and has actually regressed in many Areas.

Do you think losing Ameer and Randy Gregory, and the injuries we have on defense, have any impact on our team?

Every team loses players.
Injuries are not an excuse. They weren't for the past 7 years even when we actually lost all American caliber players, why would they now?

Coach em up, coach em up.

Excuses are not acceptable here.

This train of thought is everything that is wrong with this fanbase. What "all American caliber players" did Bo recruit and lost to injury? You can't "coach up" slow players to run faster, This team lacks talent and depth so there isn't anything to "coach up." Not to mention we have a QB who had a completion percentage in the 50's when he had Ameer carrying the load on offense, now we don't have a RB on the roster that other teams need to game plan for. And people expect him to play better trying to shoulder the load on his own? The kid has a ton of heart, but is still inaccurate and that is killing this offense. So unless TA (who is playing hurt) all of a sudden becomes an accurate passer, or we have a RB that distances himself from the others, not to mention a very shaky OL that need to help both a lot better than they are then we will see the same thing every week. A very frustrating offense that leaves the defense on the field for too long and with their lack of depth will wear out in the 4th quarter.

Just the previous 2 years we lost our 4 year all conference and former Heisman "mentioned" starting QB, ( and for at least a few games) the second leading rusher in school history and an all American caliber DE, yet we were still able to win games.
At RB there is no excuse for the mismanagement and spit balling approach that is being used. We have 5 4* guys, it's football not rocket surgery.

The use of the highlighted above is baffling? Is this a quote you have heard from a brain surgeon who has rocket science background?

jk

I guess you've never heard that phrase?

Can't say I have.

I have heard "it's not Brain Surgery" and I have heard "it's not Rocket Science" but until today, I had never heard "it's not Rocket Surgery". OH, OH, how about "it's not Brain Science"?
