'Lo, everyone.
I assume by this point everyone is back in their humble abodes, safe in their comfort zone away from any and all visions of that winter diorama of horror that was quarters 2-4 of that effort by a team that wears Nebraska colors.
RANDOM TRAVEL TIP: upon arriving in Madison, do not attempt to survive the day on only fried dairy products, New Glarus beer, and "red brats" (these are evidently different than "white" ones. I stick,with what worked) if you do, your plane ride home, will SUCK. Those poor souls on the the American Airlines flight back here, sorry you guys, I didn't have Ebola.
A whole new topic about this latest nail in coffin containing Nebraska Mystique probably isn't needed, but I'm not posting in my own thread dedicating to me (no one owes me an apology, btw), and I thought about bumping an old thread where talk about The Exact Same Thing, but I'm that's frowned upon at this point.
I think the thing that got me the most was that, I bought back in. Got to Madison, felt,the atmosphere, and it was pretty natural. Plus, I actually thought Nebraska had a better than fair shot of winning this thing. I'm pretty sure I high fived EZ-E somewhere. And Nebraska is never getting a better jump on a game on the road like that for a long time. Maybe ever.
Yep, Wisconsin handed that game over on a silver platter at the start. It was almost something you would expect the third best team in the Big Ten to do. And that's what Wisconsin is, the third best team in a middling power five conference. And they were good enough to call off the dogs, because there wasn't anyone on that field who appeared to care about trying to do,anything about it.
-not our purported top five draft pick. Bent over a knee that has given him trouble all year. So I guess we can thank our S&C or he's dogging it. Neither very good options (trend alert!)
-not our revamped offensive line, which spent most of the afternoon getting planted like pudgy white crimini mushrooms like some demented experiment by the Wisconsin d to see if fungi can grow in Fieldturf.
-nor vastly improved D. Which lost all bravado the minute Gordon found it's first seam. All heart, real or pretend, erased with 45 minutes remaining in the game. So we are left with another wonderful choice of whether our sports psychology is -that-bad or our motivation skills on our coaching staff is that bad. Which leads to....
-Our tightest coaching staff in America is a walking fraud. A laughingstock. A defensive genius whose hubris filled quotes of defiance will follow him around like Callahan's "excellent job in every area", hand in hand with the worst losses in this programs history. Toss in a thank you note from Kevin Cosgrove and that's one hell of a base to start paving the road to Being Minnesota. Who, conveniently, awaits with their own power running game and superior coaching just six days away. A offensive guru in title only, seemingly calling plays purely for punitive reasons, letting Armstrong get crushed because it's his fault the beauty of the scheme isn't working perfectly. A staff full of yes men who collectively make some of the highest paid employees in the state. It's not enough they cost people their money to travel to watch efforts like that, they have to take their tax money too.
I'm sure the next few weeks will be full of "firing a coach like this gets us Callahan", which makes about as much sense as never sleeping with a brunette ever again because you were too dumb to wear a condom once and one gave you the clap. There a few concrete things I'm sure of anymore. Minnesota and Iowa could embarrass us, or they could win out. But I do know Nebraska is never winning anything of merit with the current head coach.
And that's unacceptable. I don't even know what yesterday was.
