Is this what we get for firing a 10-3 coach in 2003??

I think you are correct on that, but it was the first game of the season, and they were not playing as good as they were later in the year. They had a lot of problems that game if I remember right. It was at Arrowhead correct.

We have not been credited with a victory over a ranked team since Oklahoma in 2001 if memory serves me.

Either way, it takes time. He needs it. We need to give it and stay on board is all I am saying.

This was bound to happen and it is going to get worse before it gets better. I just wish he had not promised it would not happen again. It will at least twice this year.

that was 98 i believe... unless they played them there twice

This proram was headed down before BC got here, he just hurried it along a little.

how much can you expect out of a guy in one year?

lol Thats what alot of people on this board need to ask themselfs.

Thanks melscott, the old storage factory is not what it used to be.

I never have been able to remember that kind of stuff, just he blurred view.

Either way it has been a long time since we were relevant in college football. Thinking this year we were going to turn it around magically from a 5-7 team was hopeful at best. We have problems and when the fan base accepts it, it will get a lot better for us. As Bo has stated many times, realistic and a work in progress. I guess us older fans understand that, youth has more problems with it, but trust me I trade the supposed knowledge for you guys youth any day, esp after watching the little blonde accross from us at the tail gate. How in god's creation do these kids even attempt to study.

We decided that these girls wear less than they wore to bed in our day. You lucky ba$tards.

I said I thought he would do better, but no one really knows.

I was trying to get the point accross that no one can work miracles in a year. He needs time and support. He now sees what was apparent last year. He has to face it every single day and has to hear what we as fans thinks every single day. He needs to know we support him and we will be behind his every move. He needs to know we think he is doing everything he can to right this ship.

These are things some of us tried to get accross early in the year. What would happen if things did not go as desired. We are starting to see some of the first cracks in support. This can not continue. If it does we will have the same thing we had with BC, and advisary. You saw how Bo reacted to the media. He is confrontational to say the least.. He needs our support, he demands our support and we need to give it for the good of the program. He will know if there are problems that need corrected. He will make the changes if he does not feel we are headed in the right direction. He wants to win worse than any of us. We have love of a team, he has that same love and the feeding of his family and the rest of his staff to worry about.

Give it time, this is not a easy fix is what I am saying. There is no magic wand to wave.

:yeah

Go back to you our wonderful last 9-3 team. We lost to every ranked team we played. And we lost to Missouri that year to. And we lost badly to those three. Pelini was on the staff.

Who knows if we would have been better if he had been hired. I think so, but no one really knows.

The problem is we play much better teams than we did then or in the 90's. College football has changed. Every team, well except for Nebraska seems to have a game breaker on the field. But that really is a hope for us. We do not have skilled players that light up the score board. That means there are openings for them on this team. It should make recruiting that type of player a little easier I think. We just need the ability to find those players, they will not be the 5 star guys, but players like Missouri found in Maclin and Daniel. But the one thing we have control over is fan actions. We need to be better fans now than we have ever been. We need to supprt Bo more than we have supported any coach at Nebraska. We need to stand and cheer, stay till the end and know he will fix the problem.

The stadium emptying int he the third quarter on National TV is not good. It tells those kids that are watching we are the same as other programs. We need to be different than everyone else. We are not a recruiting mecca and never will be. We have to sell our fan base and our facilities over terrain and night life.

We as a group have to help Bo. Be positive and patient. I am afraid it is the only way back, and it is going to take awhile.

You are right I'm afraid but for all the wrong reasons, IMO. We have no way of knowing yet, but Mizzou may very well be like KState was in 2003. KState I still believe wins the NC if Roberson doesn't go down to injury when they dropped to Marshall. They dismantled OU. Texas is just Texas. TO lost to them as well. Our record against Texas the last 12 years has been awful. Solich brought Dailey in to run the spread. Who knows where we'd be if we'd have kept him and our spread may have been the envy of many around the country. I definitely agree with kharma. What goes around comes around. We took one of the if not the most tenured coaching staffs and totally got rid of all of them. Look at the teams having success with coaches who've been there a while.

You are right that Nebraska needs to be different than everyone else. In today's college football, everyone is running some sort of spread of WCO. To be different, we need to get back to power football. Penn State is a decent team, and they're running the ball. We need to be running an offense that opponents don't see week in and week out. I still remember playing KState who was ranked pretty decent with our 3rd string QB in 94'. I think it was Spielman who said it during the game that to win you have got to be able to run the ball. Back in the 90's when we were steamrolling people, analysts kept saying you had to be able to pass the ball to win. We need to concentrate on running the ball. Unfortunately, we haven't seen much of Witt or Lee. However with their limited playing time thus far, I can't see either of them taking us to the promised land. We need to get back to what Nebraska does and did well for decades. You're right, we're not a recruiting mecca and will never be. We're never going to land the talent a Florida, Miami, USC, Texas, etc. does. TO didn't either, but he still managed to win games. He still managed to win 3 NC's. A year or so ago, the CU fans were warning not to put too much stock in Watson as he had to have elite talent for his schemes to work. We don't have that, and lets face it probably we never will. We bought into the hype of needing to upgrade our offense, but in reality it has set us way back. Let's get back to what we did and did well. Let's be different.
