I’m going to tell you something that maybe might shock you, I don’t know, but I actually
like your optimism as a fan. I like how you point out what these types of players have done, how they get talked about, and how good their chances are to start early and play often. But you’re missing the point.
Point is that we should not
want ANY optimist talk about ANY of our players whether coming in or that are on this team already because of how bad of a jinx that tends to put on us come time those very players hit the field for us on Saturdays. It doesn’t work. The “praise” the “optimism” talk doesn’t…. WORK! PERIOD! So stop doing it. Stop being fools and doing it over and over again expecting a different result.
We SHOULD be suspect of these players at all times at this point. We should discourage the media from speaking highly of ANY Nebraska recruits or players coming in and if anything to just ridicule them with harsh satire seeing if it’ll get them motivated to do much better than “expected” on Saturdays when they get on the field. I’d much much much much
MUUUUUUCH rather see multiple articles of disrespect, doubting if they’ll succeed at Nebraska, lampooning them, or any kind of disrespect they’d have to say about those players when they get here to play for Nebraska because that’s what tends to motivate players to do well.
3 years of making No bowl games because of this:

So screw that noise. I’m done with this stupid “hype” and “praise” stuff. Hell we did that sh*t with Hoiberg too and it didn’t help him in basketball this season one bit.
Point is we need to stop being
fools and do something different for once since what we’ve been doing
clearly has not been WORKING.
