Irritating? Well, I find it irritating to not hardly even be able to read this board over the last few weeks because my favorite team gets run down constantly and harshly. So excuse me if I'm happy at having something good to talk about and gloating a little bit over those people.
Yes-if you didn't pick us to lose and/or give up and act like the game was over when it wasn't. I'll respect somebody who said before the game, "I think we'll win, but I'm not sure it's going to mean much". But I can't stand people who loudly and gleefully predicted us to lose and then turn around and say winning didn't mean anything. It means we're better than you thought-but you just don't have the guts to admit it.
I'd rather go down believing in my team and look like an idiot doing so any day over giving up on them.
Man, what a relief. If you go look at the Purdue prediction thread, I picked the Huskers to win 21-20. Does that get me the password into the Johnny SuperFan Club?
I don't disagree entirely, but I think most people here predicted a win. Just like a close loss to a great team can show improvement, I.e. "It's how we look and play etc." in a loss, it's sometimes how we look and play with a win against a team that hasn't been playing so well.
Then we're not really that far apart, at least on this.Of course I'm not going to say that we looked great. There are obvious problems. The running game is atrocious. But when you can win a game when your running game isn't working, I'll take it. At least it's nice to have something positive to talk about for at least a week.
I'm not absolving him of or judging him for anything. I'm just happy to find somebody who has some faith in the team because I don't think such people are very numerous on here.
I get that you’re upset and all but worst shape we’ve ever been in? That’s a little over the top.
Dude is a GAMER! Caught some jump balls and really looked good. Love the guy. Also thought Bradley looked like our best back and was impressed with his ability to gain positive yardage even with no hole to run through.
Not sure about worst shape but if record has anything to do with it that's an accurate statement. We have an under talented, poorly developed, mentally and physically soft football team. And on top of it the current coach has been recruiting for a passing team and we will be run heavy in the future and we have no RB's
Yes it does work that way. I can be sickened that NU has sunk to the level of Purdue and not hate the players at the same time.
I would call both time frames similar... but I actually was thinking pre Devaney. Which is way before my time, but things were worse then. I think Riley will leave some pieces in place for the next coach. He will need to coach them up.
Yep-you just keep telling yourself that you don't really hate the players and maybe you'll really believe it.
This and 07 are comparable. Hard to say until the season plays out.
Dude go @#$! Yourself I have lived and died with this team for 28 years. You know nothing. Put down the bottle and stop making yourself look like a fool.
Ohh but you all said they would roll us by 20 we're they really shit or dose it just fit your story now. Seems like there's a lot of edgy people who can't be happy with a win we all knew would take some marbles to pull of . What happened to the many on here that said they wouldn't root against Nebraska Yeh I get the line looked awful but not one kid stop fighting. Gates had a rough night but in the fourth quarter played better that's not what someone that quits dose GBR I'll be rooting For Nebraska next week too. Hats of too Lamar Jackson warrior keep ballin son!!
It was nice to see the players keep fighting and get the win. As for getting rolled by 20 vs winning by a point theres not that much difference to me. Either one says this is bad. NU should be rolling Purdue by 20.
Yep. I drank the kool aid last summer. Loved what I was hearing about Tanner Lee, the offensive line, and the new defense. I am always an optimist before each new season and I think that is a good thing, not a bad thing. A true fan should always want to be optimistic about his team.
Who is Delaney? We had a great coach named Bob Devaney at Nebraska.
