Washington at Nebraska Preview

[BroncoTed]

What a bunch of excuses. Wahhhh, we already beat Arizona, wahhh we weren't motivated.

You guys proved over the course of the season that you got worse while the Huskies proved that they got better at the end. And that's why you lost the Holiday Bowl. Not because Martinez was injured, not because you weren't interested, its because Washington was a better team at the end.

Washington won, despite your illegal tactics on pass defense, end of discussion.

Martinez was very much injured after the Missouri game. He was never the same... When he did return to action after a few games there were times when he took off and pre-injury Martinez would have been gone for an easy TD against Texas A&M etc. but he was caught being hobbled. Martinez was still very much injured as well as our center who had zero problems in Husky stadium, but got pushed around like a rag doll in the bowl game. Did your players really improve that much? Did our center just really forget everything and get weak? We didn't have a capable backup, so he played. It was quite evident the team was also not motivated to play. Still in the end Washington won, so it doesn't matter. Those of us who live in relaity just know HOW the victory happened for Wasington and see that it isn't as likely of a scenario this fall.

Reality is, Nebraska lost 3 of 4 to end the year and easily could have dropped another to Iowa state. Washington on the otherhand won 4 straight to end the year. Its simple what happened. Nebraska became a weaker team and Washington became a tougher team. Hence, you couldn't do anything on offense, you couldn't stop Chris Polk, we were just....oh so much better.

Facts people. Thems the facts.

What?? What do you mean Nebraska wasn't mentally ready? Isn't that part of the game? What do you mean injuries played a factor? Isn't that also part of the game? You mean, if Nebraska was a better team, they would have won? Is that what you're saying?

p.s. No one in Seattle is making excuses for that first game. We lost fair and square, just like you lost fair and square in round 2. Easily, I might add.

p.s.2 You guys weren't that good to begin with. Taylor Martinez can't throw. No one should ever cover the pass against him. You were manhandled by a less than medicore team at home. Washington however, began the year 3-6 and then went on a tear that even Nebraska couldn't stop.

1. Injuries are apart of the game, and it can effect the outcome of a game, period.

2. Nebraska couldn't have cared less to play your sorry team again, in a bowl we played in the season before and killed a team better than yours.

3. We were a top 10 team to begin with, it might have been a little high but we still competed for our Confrence Championship, won our division, and won 10 games. And Jake Locker can't throw either how does 4-21 sound to you?

Translation: We can't handle losing, so lets make excuses. Were too weak to admit we were worse than Washington at the end of the year.

How does 19-7 sound to you hahaha.

You're lucky Sark didn't figure out to run Chris Polk more in Game 1. All of Seattle saw that mismatch. Nebraska was having problems stopping him then. He figured it out in the rematch and your "physical" defense couldn't handle it.

We were worse than Washington at the end of the season, because of injuries and lack of motivation. It's apart of the game, and it does effect the outcome the game. Your sorry team couldnt even play on the same field as a healthy and focused Nebraska team. Remember 56-21 smart guy? I wanna hear your excuses about that one.

I can use the same excuses you guys used for your Holiday Bowl explanations. We lost to BYU weeks before, we werent healthy, we werent focused but the city of Seattle takes responsibility for the own actions like MEN. We simply said "Well played" and "We'll get you next time" which we made good on.

That's what makes Seattle a world class city while Lincoln = Farmtown with excuses.

You were banged up because you played a crappy BYU team?? Now whos making excuses?? Dumbest post ever.

Hey I agree...I was demonstrating what you guys sound like with your excuses.

Heck, even UCLA destroyed Texas in Austin and UCLA sucks. How did y'all do at home against Texas? You guys weren't that good to begin with. Washington, a young team still looking to find themselves, got off to a rocky start, but when they got to the end, they blew right through Little Red.

We had a RS Frosh QB, a yound oline and we won more games than you in the end. Facing better competition. The young team excuse is not going to work here with us.

That's rich. So UW lost because they were a young team off to a rocky start?? When our starting QB was a RS Frosh. BwahahahHaha? That's classic! So I guess the Huskies will be seasoned vets when they show up to Memorial Stadium this year.

I’m going to go out on a limb right now: No way in hell UW will hang with us this year. It’ll be a 21 point game by halftime. And then the Huskers will step on the gas in the second half. It's gonna be a blood bath.

Your offense is awful. I've got news for you. Words out on Martinez. He couldn't hit the broadside of a barn. (Terms you farmboys can understand)

Facts people. Thems the facts.

I don't think anybody here is disagreeing with the fact that Nebraska got worse and Washington got better. I think the main point is relatively simple - there's a reason we lost the Holiday Bowl, and there's a reason you lost in the non-conference. It's a new year and judging on talent, coaching and the fact that it's in Nebraska, we're probably going to win.

Your posts make me want to cry..from laughter.

Seriously.

Stop it.

My stomach hurts.

WOOOOOO WEEEEE!!

Can't wait to listen to them there Huskies on my AM radio this fall as they beat my Huskers. That Price guy, WHAT A HEISMAN CONTENDER. That defense of theirs..at least three potential all americans like Nebraska.

Where's my pig to hug when I need him...

 

[BroncoTed]

Second rate conference? What was the bowl record of the Big 12 in the Bowl games? Did you guys have a NCG representative? Amuse me with your excuses? You have those on your side, I have facts.

Enough already. My word - you make fun of some guy for saying "lulz" after you said "waahhh", and the proceed to argue with everybody that disagrees with you. Perhaps you should check your own maturity at the door. Furthermore, I don't think there's any room for you to call somebody a teenage girl when you accuse Nebraska of using "illegal tactics" like a tattle tale on the playground. If it were illegal it'd be called a penalty, right?

You're the exact reason we've had problems with Washington fans on this board following the bowl game. Most of them come on here, pretend the non-con game didn't happen and then say Nebraska has no reason to make excuses for their Holiday Bowl loss. I'm sorry, but your fans made handfuls of excuses for why Nebraska destroyed you in the non-conference. The truth of the matter is Nebraska suffered a key injury to the most important member of our offense, a member of our offense that masked the bad consistency and execution errors Nebraska had for many games during the season. Without Martinez at full healthy, we just weren't the same team plain and simple.

There's no way you or anybody can convince me that motivation wasn't a factor in that game. Nebraska got worse after the season went a long because of injuries and poor execution on offense, and was then told they had to go to a bowl game they did not expect to fall to and play a team they had dominated earlier in the season. And by dominate, I mean we literally made you look like you didn't belong on the field once the second half started. Washington, conversely, got better as the season progressed and made it to a bowl game that realistically speaking was better than what they deserved. Washington then had the chance to face a team that embarrassed them earlier in the season. Add those two things together and you have a motivated Washington team going against a Nebraska team that failed near the end of the season and fell to a bowl game they didn't want to be in. This team had BCS prospects that they let flounder away, and somehow they're supposed to be motivated to face a less talented Washington team? I'm sorry, but your argument is faulty.

Lastly, can you please tell me how upset you are about how Nebraska plays defense and all of those "illegal tactics" they use? Honestly, I love reading you complain. Nebraska has a top 10 defense to show for it, and Washington ranked what, exactly?

I guess there's nothing left for me to say. Oh wait, I almost forgot...

LULZ

Well, if any Washington fans made excuses after game 1, and trust me I've seen it firsthand that it is more than a possibility and I've chewed those fans out accordingly, then you've encountered the moron portion of our fanbase. We were outmatched in game 1. Game 2 in Seattle was a different story. YOU were outmatched. To be frank, you really didn't deserve to be on the same field as Washington outclassed you in every way except passing offense vs your pass defense (which everyone knows plays quite illegally).

Finally, the term "Wah" was to mimic what you guys were doing. The term "lulz" is used exclusively by teenage girls to express their feelings over chat. I mean, that poster that used the term "lulz" might as well have used the tongue sticking out emoticon and then proceed to snip "it" off sometime right after that.

I think enhance asked you earlier, with no response. How exactly does our defense play illegally? I'm dying to hear this explanation.

Passing yards Sept 2010:

NU=150; UW=71

Passing yards December 2010:

NU=98; UW=72

So I guess Martinez has a better arm than Jake Locker. LULZ

BroncoTed. The word "lulz" is actually an internet slang term and is not exclusively used by teenage girls. Although this does beg the question as to how you know? Spend a lot of time in internet chat rooms, do we?

How many times do I have to tell you there are reasons teams lose and win football games. You're purely a Husky homer that leaves no room for argument. I've admitted several times Washington was the better team in the Holiday Bowl, and so have most other Husker fans. It's time to give it up.

Furthermore, I'm still really interested in what your pass defense ranked last year. Your "non-illegal" tactics must have given you a really good defense, eh? I'm also really interested as to where you've seen people say Nebraska uses illegal defensive tactics. For argument's sake, you're not allowed to use anything from husky message boards, husky news sources or what you talk about around the poker table with your bros.

He doesn't have one. If he did, he would have defended it already.

His explanation probably came from a husky message board or something he saw a husky writer say. Clearly, the best evidential support one needs.... Just give him a couple of minutes while he goes back to peruse his team's message board for the answer. Can't wait to hear it.

Edit - Can we get this locked or actually go back to talking about THIS year's game, instead of getting dragged into idiotic bicker about last year's Holiday Bowl?

I dont think I ever said it was a fluke. I said Nebraska won that game fair and square. I think that Washington was in the middle of a growing process. I think by years end, Washington started to hit their potential, your guys' growth remained flat, we were a better team at the end.

Guys, cmon. Lets be honest. The Big 12 sucked last year and you still couldn't win it. The Pac-10 had two BCS teams who played well. Fact is, I never said Washington was "Awesome", its just...you werent that good.

 

[The Dude]

Aw, that was cute. You really think our starting QB being injured had nothing to do with the end of our season? Some fans really aren't that knowledgeable and it really doesn't represent your fan base well, at all. Please use a little reason and logic next time you try and degrade the Huskers.

Likewise that NU fans think that the defensive QB being I injured in the first game (Cort Dennison) and a true freshman, in his third game in college, is sent in to lead a defense. It's disingenuous of you to think that that had no impact on the game. Hell, at least you had Martinez there for the bowl game Dennison didn't even suit up for the first game.

NU's defensive QB was also out of that game due to injury...
