Nebraska is Number 9

[sd'sker]

I don't think Nebraska is a disappointment... they can still win the North, and if they do, how are they a disappointment? Were people expecting a Big 12 title with Texas and OK on the other side? I think people were expecting a North title this year so they still have a chance to fulfill expectations.

No...they are not a disappointment. They've only lost to two teams, at home, they never should have lost to. Are no longer starting the best QB, and the o-line can't open consistant holes through news paper.

A team that should be, at worst, 7 -1 but is 5-3 with one of those loses being to ISU at home, is a disappointment. If they lose anymore games this year, with the exception of this Saturday, they will have moved from disappointment to joke.

A college football team consisting of 18-22 year olds putting every ounce of effort into playing football and sometimes trying too hard is never a joke, at least not to me. is 5-3 at this point a disappointment... definately, but not a joke.

When two of those are loses are to teams NU should have won and won BIG, that 5 - 3 becomes a joke. When both of those loses were at home. It becomes more than a joke.

i thought you said they weren't a joke yet... <_<

I corrected myself. After reevaluating how bad ISU is, and losing to them at home, put NU in the joke catagory.

I wish that ISU game was a joke! Unfortunately it wasn't. We really lost 9-7 at home to a bad team missing it's starting QB and RB. Oh yeah, and we also turned the ball over a school record 8 times. Anyone who doesn't think that makes a punchline for a joke needs to start sharing whatever they're smoking.

Yet Iowa's QB threw 5 picks last Saturday against a team much better than ISU, but the Hawkeye's had the will, the mental toughness, and intestinal fortitude to win. Winners always find a way to win. NU of old used to be able to do that.

 

Oh for the record and to stop potential whining, I am not an Iowa fan.

:laughpound :laughpound :laughpound what, did NU lose because of IBS??? :laughpound :laughpound :laughpound

Iowa continuing to win is really starting to pi$$ me off.

Your reply says everything about you. So we don't make the same mistake your parents made.....what grade school do you go to? again

 

hey, this might help you:

 

intestinal fortitude -courage and perseverance; grit; pluck: a euphemism for “guts”

Ditto. However, they have more injuries and key injuries than NU but they continue to find a way to win.

Wow, it was just a joke. i think i am a lot more complex than that one post, i do not know it says everything about me.

do not take yourself so seriously.

 

it is a weird phrase.

 

[irafreak]

Why is everyone so down on Iowa? Good teams find ways to win. Nobody wants to give them any respect cause they aren't winning by 50.

It's only a weird phrase because you didn't know what it meant. Also, if you knew what you were talking about you would know I am the one that doesn't take this stuff seriously. Would you like to reply again and make it a perfect 0 - 3?

I'm down on Iowa because I don't like their coach.

I'm not down on Iowa. I don't like them but I respect them for stepping up week in and week out and refusing to lose even thought they are playing teams with more and better talent.

NU has a lot to learn from Iowa in terms of winning and playing like one is supposed to in today's college football.

 

[sd'sker]

SlapChop,

if i knew what i was talking about i would know that you are not the one who doesn't take this stuff seriously? i do not know who you are, when talking about you, of course i do not know what you are talking about; i was judging your post rather than you. also, you can know what a phrase mean and it still can be weird, those are not mutually exclusive. the phrase "intestinal fortitude" can conjures up many images, i was making light of that. finally, 0-3, what does that even mean, know i do not know what you are talking about.

hey this might help:

if you respond to this post, i will not. i have said my piece, and made my peace.

 

[skersfan]

Disappointment, yes, but again there are reasons for it.

3rd String QB, unproven, untested. Learning the ropes. 2nd String injured before the season. Cody, a baby in every sense of college football. Too grand of expectations placed on him.

Helu getting hurt, Castille, screwing up, Burkhead injured.

When you lose your skill players on offense you have real trouble. Just one normally causes losses. We have had way more than our fair share.

I thought 8-4 maybe 9-3 this year, and with the injuries and problems we have had the 8-4 is still possible.

Would I have predicted those numbers if I had known how the injuries would be. NO.

So even though they have not played like we want them to. They still have a chance to be sucessful this year.

I have always said we are another two years away from having what Bo is looking for. Not so much the players but the attitude of winning, work ethic he recruits and demands.

Sad about how things have gone, disappointed for the kids, but not in the kids.

I just hate black uniforms.. <_<

And another thing!

I hate racists...Probably even more than I hate Mexicans...

What a joke this offense is.

9NebraskaEven tennis ace and Nebraska native Andy Roddick couldn't believe his eyes; he tweeted, "in disbelief....... Iowa st [sic]?" on his Twitter page after the Cornhuskers lost to the Cyclones in Lincoln. While Nebraska is in second place in the Big 12 North behind Kansas State and their defense is actually pretty stingy, (No. 4 in scoring defense), their 5-3 record is a bit deceiving. Three of their wins are against the Sun Belt Conference also-rans Florida Atlantic, Arkansas State and Louisiana-Lafayette while the other two teams they beat (Missouri and Baylor) have a collective 1-7 conference record.

Does Roddick do meth too?

That would be tweaking!!

sd'sker - congrats; you went 0-3. We knew you'd do it.

Here you go. See that spot at the end of the bench? Take a seat and observe. Do nothing more. If we need you, we'll come get you.

I have plenty of respect for Iowa's first 8 wins, but anyone trying to give them credit for the Indiana game absolutely did not watch the game. Because anyone that did, and I've seen level-headed comments from fans of just about every school out there (including Iowa), knows that the replay officials handed Iowa that game. Even writers in Iowa have basically admitted it.
