Kenny Bell Speaks Up

[beanman]

Not all opinions on here are stupid, but some are awful. People post behind their blanket of anonymity and and throws daggers at the players, coaches, and team that they "support". Why bring this stuff up in season right now. Changing anything now is dumb. Support DONU over the next few games and see what happens.

Forget that anonymity nonsense. I'd happily tell Kenny Bell, in person, that he's being an asshat.

But you dont. if u really wanted to you could find Kenny ball and call him a derogatory word. But u post it on here instead.

Why would we do that? And how would we find him? Post an ad on craigslist?

Holy f#*k! Funniest sh#t ever

The funniest part is, he posted the ad before fall camp!

Well this was all I needed to be convinced Nebraska is losing out.

"I mean I work at The Bar. And I shouldn't be fired if someone asks me for a Fat Tire and I instead hand them a plastic cup filled with what I wrung out of the bar rag and poured Dundees Honey Brown on the top of it. Y'all are being crazy"

Kenny Bell. Probably.

Kenny Bell. Probably.

Isn't that how they make fat tire?

I'm upset about Saturday's game. Or, I should say. I was upset..for about an hour. Maybe even into Sunday morning. But it is over for me now. Not my fanship for the Huskers. That will NEVER be over.

But what upsets me, or perhaps I should say disturbs me deeply, is that so many, adult men and/or women are so hateful about everything right now. Jeepsus cripes! You guys hate Bo and his 9 win seasons (and bad losses..which are the teams by the way not yours!), you hate Beck, you hate Barney, you hate TA, you hate KB, you hate players who don't "see" your particular brand of hate, and you hate each other because you are freaking convinced your reason to hate is the best reason, and not someone else's reason to hate. All over a blessed "GAME".

I truly pity all of you that are so wrapped up in this thing personally. I'm an alum. Had close relatives that were part of the program. But I gather ZERO self identity from a bunch of kids playing a game.

Stop the hate. Get off the board till you are happy. Find other joy in your lives. You'll be much better off, and so will those around you.

I take it your parents still pay your bills. In the real world, there are expectations you need to match to keep a job. Bo isn't getting it done. So we fire Bo and bring someone else in. That is how the real world works. You will find this out once you get older.

I probably have children older than you. Have followed the Huskers since the early 60s. I've paid all my bills since I joined the Army at 17 and have never been unemployed more than two months since then, including when I went to college, so I likely know a lot more than you about job expectations. Yes, Bo isn't getting it done. In the real world, people do bad jobs and get replaced every day. 99.99999% of them don't generate the hateful attention that Bo does.

Bell: #Huskers fans who "post on their boards... are same people who come up & slap your hand & ask you take a picture with their son."

KB: #Huskers fans criticizing him on twitter "care & they want us to win as much as anybody else" but also want pics & autographs in person

I'm guessing less than 5% of husker fans actually post on husker forums, and a miniscule percentage of that 5% criticize him on twitter. This conclusion is just full of stupid.

That this post shows a misunderstanding of the fundamental nature of a very devoted fan.

If everyone posting in this thread, or all of the threads after the Wiscy game, were nothing but negative all the time, there would be a point here. But we aren't. Mostly, most of us are mostly happy. Most of us hate nothing (except losing, and being a laughingstock across the college football world).

I'm a Bo supporter, believe it or not. I still think he needs to not be the head coach here anymore.

I'm a Kenny Bell fan, believe it or not. Still think he needs to stop trying to "educate" fans that are, for the most part, older than him and have been fans of this program since before he was born.

I'm a Tim Beck fan. I'm a Barney Cotton fan. John Garrison fan. Ross Els fan. But none of them should be coaching here. There's no hate involved in that belief, just an observation based on the product they put on the field.

No, everyone here isn't personally wrapped up in these kids playing this game. But we are avid fans of college football, and for the most part we know what good football is, and we know when we aren't seeing it. That's what we're (mostly) saying here.

I'd say I'm as avid and knowledgeable of fan as there is. I've followed Husker football since early to mid 1960s, when a winning season was reason to celebrate. I've not said that what I see on the field resembles a "good product". I'm saying that being avid doesn't have to mean rabid, which it appears many on this board have become. I did over generalize perhaps, as obviously not everyone on here is over the edge. But my point is, you can be an avid fan and love the team without becoming personally involved and losing all sense of relativity.

Also, for full disclosure and as a measure of "I know you can be avid and maintain a balance"..I did live and die with what happened on the field many years ago. If the Huskers lost on Saturday, I couldn't pick up the paper from the porch on Sunday. My week was literally ruined till Thursday when I could focus on the next game. I yelled at my wife during games when things were going badly and she wanted to "talk". I've been there and returned. But I am no less an avid fan. I save my energies for those things I can effect.

Reality, we pay a man 3.1 mil a year excluding his bonuses. Anyone in here did a half a$$ job at their job they would be canned. It's kinda like that one guy at work who has been working for a while but no one can understand why he or she doesn't get how to do their job, it's frustrating. Being a coach doesn't make him more of a man than anyone else, its a job and he has not exceeded expectations. If that isn't good enough for people in blue collar jobs then why should it be different for Bo?

Again...I agree, Bo has failed in a very noticeable way. People fail and lose jobs all the time. He should probably lose his, but I have zero input into that equation, no matter how big a fan I am. If I were a wealthy booster, maybe, but not as a fan. Wanting him or Beck or whoever to go is not bad, but becoming so hateful and riled up about it makes no sense. The only thing I can assume is that those who get so worked up have let Husker football become part of their identity. Letting something, over which you have no control, become part of your identity is a problem. Read my response to Knappic. I know, I've been there and got past it.

 

[skersfan]

Mostly here we are talking kids compared to us. We were the same as you stated. They get a little excited, anonymous banter that in real life would not happen.

I understand what you are saying, but time and experience normally mellows and gives a little better sense of what is going on. I value your input, and am glad that you are handling this well. It will calm down in a few days, may even reverse if we beat Minnesota. That is what bugs me, it all revolves around wins and losses. Not the product. But it seems some are seeing that at this time.

Keep the faith, we don't have many more of these seasons to follow, try to enjoy it the best you can and tune out what you don't want to hear. Some how I have managed that with the wife.

Her dislike for Bo has been raging for a long long time. Catholic girl, well educated and in her whole life I have never heard her use the F word. But just looking at Bo it comes out and frequently. She absolutely despises him. Nothing will ever change her mind, lately she schedules meetings or parties to be away from house during our games.

You think Polo dislikes Bo, she is on another level completely. They hit it off at the tailgate. High five it.

As you are saying life is to short to be miserable over something we can not control. We all love the kids, the effort they go through, but they deserve more for their investment it seems to me.

What ever the outcome of this is, I hope it is in the best interest of the University. I do not make those decisions, so will have to live with them.

I will say, that if changes are not made to the level I want to see, the football program will not get any more checks from this house hold. I have been paying for season tickets for 35 years and seldom use them. My cousins do. But Patti wants to put the money in to agricultural college.. We will dictate where the money goes. Not to the athletic department for sure.

It's official, KB is a DB.

As a matter of fact Kenny, I do believe I could do better than Bo in many areas. If you're happy with 9 wins against the little sisters of the blind, well, that explains an awful lot of what we see on the field every week.

And yet you are posting on a message board.

+1, but, I bet his record on NCAA football on xbox is outstanding and always pulls top 5 recruiting classes. So he does have that going for him
