Bitching doesn't necessarily equal make up calls. If that was the case, any ex wife could be a college basketball coach.Nonsense. Bitching at the officials is more likely to get a couple make-up calls in your favor than anything else. And the penalty on Bo cost us five yards on a drive where we ended up scoring anyway.
I couldn't disagree more. Enjoyable to play for? This is division 1 major college football! You know what is enjoyable at this level? WINNING. How do you win? Through motivation and hard work. Pelini is a master motivator and demands hard work from all his players and pitches this to recruits before they commit to attend the University. If a kid wants to be consoled when things get tough, and a lollipop when it hurts, then this University does not want him. Go some place where winning isn't expected.sure they are, ask yourself, is this guy going to enjoyable to play for? is this how he is going to "coach"?I wonder if any of the recruits watching at home with their parent are having second thoughts?
not good.....just not good.
These are three- and four-star recruits at major FBS football programs. I would hope they are more concerned with the satisfaction in winning championships than just having an enjoyable time. Intramural sports would be a great and acceptable option for anyone just wanting to enjoy themselves.sure they are, ask yourself, is this guy going to enjoyable to play for? is this how he is going to "coach"?I wonder if any of the recruits watching at home with their parent are having second thoughts?

it is really day and night between our offense and defense. and this is consistent. something needs to be done on the offensive side of the ball cause this is not getting the job done. i understand injuries at qb are seriously hurting us right now but just like last year we seem inconsistent, flat play from the offense. I know there have been highlights from the year, its just I'm a little tired of it being such a struggle to score.What is strange is how the offense and defense are polar opposites.
The defense plays with fundamentals, discipline and smarts.
The offense stutters, farts, and pisses down their legs.
I think I know what the problem is and am amazed that Bo hasn't taken control of HIS team and straightened this crap out.

Honestly, I think you have a point here. Yes, we can blame penalties and injuries. But really, the blame belongs with the coaches and the players. We were nothing like a disciplined team last night, or for most of this season honestly.For all the talk of Pelini preaching discipline and attention to detail - this team SUCKS at playing disciplined football. Inconsistency, turnovers, penalties - blech.
THere were some horrible calls last night, but the coaching staff has to take the blame for this loss.
START COACHING BETTER.
