In Pelini's first year, he had embarrassing losses to #4 Missouri and #4 Oklahoma. Riley certainly sniff's those sh#t shows with Purdue and Illinois...
I agree! I hope they have turned the corner and we continue to improve moving forward. I'm cautiously optimistic that the staff and players will continue to learn and won't regress.
Yeah you're right, it's far more impressive he let Iowa State beat Ndamukong Suh in Lincoln by scoring 9 whole points the following year.
Wait a second...this isn't fair...Everyone says the Purdue blowout was not really that bad because of all the turnovers...so wouldn't that be the same for ISU?
Who is saying turnovers make that loss acceptable? It wasn't acceptable, neither were. Purdue should never beat us by scoring 50 and Iowa State should never beat us by only scoring 9.
Lots of people said it was the turnovers...they said it about Iowa too.
Well actually.... we changed our "offensive philosophy" after that game, and rode our defense and special teams to almost* winning a conference title.
In a match race does it matter by how much you got 2nd? You still lost! Moral victories for close losses: I find no solace.
It kind of feels like a merry-go-round doesn't it? The off season is hard, and many topics and conversations just recycle themselves. Even long term the conversations all seem to come full circle over the years. The topics are all similar, but with some additional new members now discussing the current team and players.I think this trend should continue for the rest of the Husker legacy comparing the 2313 team to the 2014 team as an extra gotcha to Bo or adversely a compliment to that is the pinnacle of Husker teams?
