I realize I'm getting in late on this topic, but I'm one to listen to all comments and go from there. For the most part the fans on this board are forgetting one very important fact. NU has always played a weak schedule. Name me a yr in the big 8 that we didn't go 9-1 or 10-0 before the okla game. It wasn't because we were go great, we played against the sisters of the poor, just like every other top team does. You don't play tough competition every week and end up undefeated. I believe the schedule we play now is tougher than the ones we played during the big 8 days.
For all you negative posters, I imagine you've never suited up, or if you did, you didn't play much. You act as though you have so much knowledge concerning how to coach and play. You make me sick. I haven't posted much on here and probably won't in the future. You don't need to drink kool aid to realize this team is on the rise, yeah, we got blown out a couple of times this yr, But lets not forget, we played Georgia tough and could have won the game if not for taylor's usual gaffs. interception or fumble at the worst times, against georgia it wasn't just him, ameer helped out in that department. Those were unforced errors and those mistakes are the ones that have killed us.
I also believe the young guns will be better than this yrs slow as molasses linebackers. I don't care how much you know the defense, if you're not fast enough to keep up, what good does knowing what to do help you. I'll add another players name that came in, and because of his speed, played lights out. Lavonte David anyone. Played pretty good without knowing the D, just extremely fast to the ball. The offense has returned and the defense will soon follow, if you can't see that, than you are just a naysayer that knows little. I've followed the Huskers since 1958, and with little exception, we've never had the skill at the skill positions that we have now, yeah, a player here or there, but not the overall talent at every offensive skill position. If our O line was anything like TO's teams, no one could stop us, they have trouble now. This is a husker board and our recruits look at this site to check out the fans, it's unfortunate that 70 percent of the contributors on here are negative, because we haven't brought home a title. I would like to have a few new banners myself, but I'll support the huskers with as much positive influence as I can. Support what we have, stop crying about what you want, have a little patience. TO left in after the 97 season. We haven't been a top flight program since. Bo's only had five yrs to repair 11 yrs of avg to poor coaching, loss of recruits with TO's retirement, etc. etc. etc. Grow up you bunch of cry babies. This team will get back to the promise land without your negative crap, and this board would be better off without you. Call me a kool aid drinker if you want, but I'm a true red husker fan, and will not put my team down regardless of how poorly they play. They are my team and will be till I die. I'll support them in victory and defeat. and be proud of the academic all americans we produce. GBR
