Misplaced angst, and genuine disagreement about the direction of this program and who should lead it.
I don't read everything. I've got certain folks I tend to pay attention to, even some I disagree with. I still value differing opinions. A lot of rehashing simply because it seems we see the same things over and over IMO. Same old stuff.
Why do some people watch NASCAR simply for the wrecks? Why is it so hard to turn your head away from two girls one cup even though you know how wrong it is. Okay that was a joke. People love to b!^@h. I'm surrounded by it daily. People who don't talk unless it's complaining. I will ask the Lord someday why this is, and I'll try to get back to you. I think, losses give people with agendas a reason to speak. Much like the timing of the tape. Some are trying to accomplish something. I still waver about it to this day.
Offensive line, defense, defense, defense, defense and Ameer Abdullah deserve much more than they are getting.
Best fans in the nation IMO. That game was hard to watch, yet I watched it. I felt the whole time we were going to come back, I truly did. The fans that stayed do deserve credit and I think some players do appreciate it. Some truly don't care. I think the outside noise is focused on and discussed too much by the staff and this team to the point they'd rather not deal with it good or bad honestly. It should not ever be a focus to the proportions it is now. It's part of the current culture and it's a problem.
The Dirk thing, I have no idea honestly. Maybe goes back to the agenda thing. From what I understand Bo and Dirk have not seen eye to eye quite a few times. Dirk may feel a bit of resentment? Why he gets so much time here? Because he supports a lot of the negative points people make with his articles. Some of the points are true.
Tommy played horrible Saturday IMO. Taylor probably wins that game. Abdullah could have won it on his own had we allowed him too. Tommy has skills we have not seen at the QB position in a long time here. Truly a dual threat. I'm excited as hell for him. He's playing like a freshman at times right now, but he approaches the game like a vet. When the rest of the game slows down for him, look out nation, you in trouble. Just my opinion.
Future with Bo? Honestly I think he's already gone, so I'll answer your other question with this. I think he will leave on his own. I think he has already begun the process. I may be way wrong. If I had my choice? I think right now I feel like if he just let go of some of the inexperience on his staff and brought in some guys who have coached on this level before he would benefit greatly. He needs an outside voice, maybe even relinquish control of the defense or allow some alterations. He could save this thing.
Six years might not be,long enough to get it all fixed. It's long enough to fix the problems we've seen for years though. We keep talking about the same problems.
71% not bad. There's some stock in the argument about who those wins come against though whether folks like to admit it or not. Let's start winning those big ones. Let's win some we aren't supposed to win and stop losing the one we should never lose.
Replacing Bo is a job I thankfully get to say is not my duty. There are people with a lot of experience with fat pockets that get to decide these things. Funny thing is, we won't know how easy it was until we are a few years into the new guys career. If that happens.
If Boise can do it, so can we. And Boise isn't the only ones who have reached higher than us with less. This program has everything to offer. Lincoln is a great college city. Top ten every year? Probably not. Top five once, brief stints there...some BCS conversation. A single digit beside our name again at some point? Top 25 on a regular basis....why can't we? Top 15 would even be fun if we could stay there awhile. We get there, and we choke.
Four losses a year will jeapordize the sellout streak. Not because they should or shouldn't, but because I think it's clear our fan base feels they can do better. The evidence is already substantial that folks are not prepared to watch this team struggle like it did Saturday. Just look at the stands in the fourth quarter. Get rid of the ugly stuff, the stupid stuff, make fans feel like If they leave they might miss a win. I think most just want to be competitive and play good sound football.........
With our schedule, expectations were high, add in the scoring explosion junk we all heard...ugh. I counted UCLA as a loss before the year, then I saw the first half and said holy sh#t we got this! Holy sh#t.....was right. Minnesota....ha! The flashes of brilliance we have seen from this team only make the losses harder. Simply because we know we can play better!
2011 Taylor? I almost forgot what that looks like. He was explosive. Turnovers might still be a problem at times, but no more than they have been with the new guy. 2011 Taylor with this years Northewstern, Michigan and Michigan state defense......yep, this season is brighter. I'd even take a healthy Taylor in that Michigan state game this year. We may have won it.
I'll always be a Husker. True to the Red......Always.
There is no number where I say enough, I can be a fan of this team, I can love this program and what it stands for, I can respect our history and tradition, and still not be a fan of the head coach. To me the two are not mutually exclusive. It is crap to think I only love this University because of the guy that coaches this football team. I loved it before Bo was here, and I'll love it if he leaves. I just want someone to figure out why things like Saturday happened and why it's become a pattern. If Bo can do that and turn this thing around, then I have his back. I just want to win football games.
