McKeon comments make national news

Hey Corey, pull up your skirt; , and play some football. This crybaby sh#t is getting very very old by these players. If you can't handle the heat, then get the f**k out of the kitchen. If these numnuts really thought they'd hear nothing but cheers after allowing an opponent to put 600+ yards in our house, they must not have gotten the memo that they don't play for Baylor!

Why are these guys venting to the press? If they're too naive to know better maybe the coaches should tell them to shut up and play.

They should follow Keller's example. He seems to handle himself very well.

This garbage has to be terrible for morale.

 
it's probably not easy. I can't imagine how it would be to stand in a stadium where 85,000 people are booing you.

the funny thing is all of us sit here at home and complain on our little computers about defensive coaching...."Fire Coz, Fire so and so, stop letting this guy play." When the players who actually PLAY the game and actually go to practice everyday with these people are saying "stop blaming the coaching. It's us!

"He's lining us up in the right way, and we're not trusting it and doing our own thing and just playing bad,'' he said.

I'm more inclined to believe what McKeon is saying about why the defense is performing poorly than what the drunk guy in seat 13 is yelling in between his boos.

If they're playing poorly and recognize it and even talk about it, that's one thing. But it's a whole other thing to talk about being tired, having low energy, complain about the pressure of playing college football and do it at a news conference. I'm sure tons of players get low on energy and feel down at some point during the long season but don't tell the world about it.

Would you tell your boss and co-workers that you're low on energy and don't feel appreciated? I certainly wouldn't.

 
One more thing...

Something that really upsets me about McKeon's comments is this - Keller didn't play for a full year and obviously he missed it. He's working his butt off and trying to lead the team. McKeon is low on energy and not having fun? Does he have any idea what he has and the opportunity he's been given? Even if he has no chance of going to the NFL, man it's his senior year playing for the U of Nebraska! Enjoy it!

Excellent point.... These guys need to play for the love of the game, and because they love & respect their teammates & coaches. It's up to the players to have fun doing what they love to do: play football (and do it well)!

I would love Junior for you to say such things to this young mans face. Would that not be entertaining. Certainly your manhood would prevail wouldn't it?

Nothing makes a man tougher than sitting behind a keyboard talking smack without any accountability. Do the right thing and move away from those keys.

 
Corey sounds like a whipped puppy. Him and the blackshirts need to get the swagger back. I think the thing most lacking on the defense is confidence in each other, themselves and their individual assignments.

That brings up an interesting question - what is it that made the defense such whipped puppies? I don't believe it's just the poor play from the Wake Forest game and the next two games. I have to think it's more behind the scenes stuff.

Comes from the coaches down. Guarantee it. If the coaches weren't spewing this crap to them or at least telling them to suck it up and start ballin' then the coaches are to blame.

 
McKeon: It's just not fun anymore.

Peter: This is football. You're at a D1 school, Nebraska. When you put on that blackshirt there are expectations. I played for the guys next to me, for the guys that came before me.

The difference? 2 National Championships. And possibly eating children.

I don't like fans booing, calling people names, demanding people be fired or benched, etc. etc. However, right or wrong the fans are going to do what they do. Players can't allow themselves to be demoralized by fan behavior. They need to go out there and give it everything they've got and more, and let the fans do their thing. I'm not saying that's easy, or that I wouldn't be bothered, but it is what they've committed to do when they decided to play big time football. If players let the fans affect their identity the players are in trouble.
