GSG
Assistant Coach
Ok, so here is an email I received from my Grandparents. They might be some of the most pessimistic Husker fans alive, but at least they are still fans. I know that some of this stuff has already been proven incorrect (walk-ons have increased since Solich left), but I was just really surprised that this is what Husker Nation has come to. It used to be that we sent out email about how other teams couldn't beat anyone and how everything was good in Nebraska. I hope that if any of you get this, you DO NOT pass it on. It's just getting pretty ridiculous and actually makes me sad sometimes. Once a Husker, always a Husker.... right?

For anyone who has grown tired of the arrogance from our football program and our administration. For anyone who has grown tired of hearing how brilliant our coaching staff is.
I call this top ten list, "you might be an idiot if..."
10) You think having an eight pound playbook makes you brilliant when USC can beat you with one play!
9) You think 80,000 boo's were meant for someone other than you.
8) You turn away 50 walk on players a year that are willing to give you their blood and guts because having that many people around would be annoying to you.
7) It takes two years for your players to understand your system, but it only takes the opposing team a week of preparation to figure it out.
6) You inherit a top ten defense with 9 returning starters and turn it into a top 100 defense, and your excuse is that the talent level is so bare. (Barrett Ruud, Fabian Washington, Daniel Bullocks, Josh Bullocks, Scott Shanle, to name a few have had pretty good NFL careers but there talent level wasn't good enough for these guys to win with).
5) You give up 610 yards of offense to Ball State and your thoughts are, "the defense really came up big for us at times" and "there are a lot of positives we can take from this win".
4) You give a mediocre coach a contract extension because you are so impressed with a win over Nevada.
3) If you don't think Ohio U would kick our a$$ right now.
2) It takes you two years to figure out that when you send 5 guys in motion
(and the opposing defense doesn't move) that you are not tricking anyone you are just wearing out your own team.
1) You hold a fund raising event and the first guy on your guest list is not the best coach to ever coach college football that still lives in your same town!!!!!
