Agreed Iowan. I've been criticizing the coaches for not having the team disciplined tonight, and I still think they deserve it, but this staff can still do some great things if we're patient.

I was in the stands for that '78 game and this one hurts just as much. Lets not forget we were good enough to not get beat in Lincoln by the Tigers for 30 years. Things will turn around when the players are upgraded. Just don't forget how good we were and for how long. In other words be thankful.

The penalties is a huge problem and I agree with that, but my no means am I ready to give up on these coaches.

Wacko? All I said is that I won't give this staff four years. They really do need to produce. Devaney did right away.
One thing I think we'll like about Bo is that he'll come out and take responsibility. I'm sure he'll be the first to admit that he didn't have these guys ready tonight. BC never seemed to take ownership of any of the problems, only the successes.

I am not ready to give up on this staff. I didn't say any such thing. They need to get this turned around pretty quickly. Not in four years. Very soon!

S & C was a huge part of the Oz years. This is an intregal part of the program that needs to be rebuilt.

No you should know that Pinkel has to much respect to do that to us. When a team is behind there is no since in rubbing dirt in there face. What I am trying to figure out is why everyone is blaming the coaches on this loss. This is Bo's first year and he is haveing to fix everything Callhan has screwed up over the last few years. I predicted going into the season are losses would be to(VT, MU, TT, OU, and possibly Kansas) So as long as we beat ISU, Baylor, Colorado, and KSU I will be happy. I still think we have a shot of atleast being bowl contenders but this is a rebuilding year so you cant expect to much. I still have faith that Bo will turn this program around he just needs to get some good recruits in over the off season. We lost this game because MU is better then us this year and so are alot of other teams. Penaltys didnt help but its not the only reason why we lost this game and neither is the coaches. Just look at this as a learning experice for the team they stayed with it till the end and when they look back at the game films they will know what they need to work on before faceing TT. I'm not saying we will win but I'm hopeing they will atleast improve and not get beat by 35 points.

I can't expect them to turn the whole thing around this year, or even next year, because there are talent gaps that just can't be filled in that quickly.
What I do expect to be turned around in a shorter time frame are discipline and offensive play calling...
