Lost some sleep last night

[NUSouth]

We have had several years of downturn now and have got numb to losing, but yesterday was so bad for the first time in a long time I lost sleep over a loss. I think the difference in this one was that I realized we are no longer irrelevant, we are a bottom feeder. Kansas, Vanderbilt, yes even Oregon State, move over because the huskers are joining you.

We have had games we lost from poor coaching or poor execution, but this was the only game I can recall where the loss could be assigned specifically to a coach. Put any Jr. High coach, or even an Illinois player from what I've heard, in that coaching situation and we win the game. Riley and his clown circus show from Oregon state have this program as low as it has ever been.

Most of the games lost under the prior regime were due to coaching, so you are wrong. And, I am sorry you are losing sleep over the football team, sounds like you may be holding in a bit too tight.

Tom Osborne always said, what kept schools like Iowa st, kst, kansas etc was that they fired coaches every four to six years. They could never build anything. Each firing put them further behind. On our fifth coach since he left. In this case I think his wisdom is probably correct.

I wish Pelini wasn't such a jackass, but he was. There was no keeping him.

Look back

Iowa st, when they stuck with mccartney, they showed some growth.

Mizzou kept Pinkle

Kst, snyder

Texas mack brown

Now we are onto Riley and even if he is successful he coaches less than ten years. So we are on the coaching carousel and it doesn't look like it is going to stop soon

Losing sleep over a football game???

Can't lie, I lost sleep too.
Realizing you are way worse than you have any idea hurts pretty bad.
I was still holding out hope we would turn it all on when conference play came. Definitely Not The Case!
Thats fine if we are just not a very good team, deep team, or any other excuse you can think of but Please Tell Us That Coach. We Appreciate Honesty Around Here Not BS Coach's Speak Like Cali Use To Do.
Thats all I am hearing now when he says "the team had a great week of practice and is ready to go"
WHAT???
Someone ask him if the players are just awful, if its a lack of depth, Is it the coaches, or if its a mix of bad players And bad coaching???
Because There Is No Doubt This Team Is VERY Far away from being a championship team.
That Is What He Is Trying To Do, Right?
Or was he just hired to try and compete every game and be a nice guy?
Just for the record ,we as Nebraska, should beat every team we played thus far by a lot.
If it can't be done, I would like to know what some of the lower schools are doing to be so much better than us.
Its Getting Silly Now.
Like I said before, its time for this staff to stop shooting for this year.
( ( ( ( ( ((WARNING)) ) ) ) ) )
NEXT YEAR YOU WILL ALL BE FIRED IF THERE IS NOT DRASTIC IMPROVEMENT.

Wow you people are crazy in Nebraska land... Losing sleep over a game played by 18-22 year old players barely out of high school in which you have no control over them, the game or the coaches. Life is too short! It really is just a game and there are much more to be worried about then Husker or for that matter Hawkeye football.. Life will go on. The Huskers will win again and quite possibly lay an egg again but you know what? The sun will come up again! Its great to have passion for a team and Husker fans are probably the most crazy, passionate fan base there is... With all due respect...Its almost a sickness in Husker land IMO!

Have patience with us. We're just trying to learn how to be irrelevant. Bo got us started down the path, but it's getting a little steep right now. We'll get to the place where it doesn't really matter. After all, we now have a coach that is a nice guy. Hey, we're now Iowa State.

 

[Gimmered]

Bo got us started down the path

Bo? Did you forget about Callahan?

 

[Doniphan89]

Ohhh, thats why we have been good at football all these years and iowa hasn't.
I always wondered about that.
Let me ask you a question, if you don't mind, Do you just need friends that bad to be trolling other teams boards???

 

[jteten]

I stopped losing sleep over sporting events a long time ago.

 

[BetterRed]

Bo? Did you forget about Callahan?

I'd actually go with Solich who started it, really.

 

[BigBL87]

I got some of my best sleep in a long time actually. I was worn out from the cold and all the yelling I did at the game, though.

Didn't TO appoint Frankie? Some poor decisions the past 15 years.

 

[Gimmered]

I'd actually go with Solich who started it, really.

What was Solich"s win percentage? He had 1 bad year of 7-7 and made wholesale changes to get it turned back around and was fired with a 10-3 team.

I hope he coaches at NU til he's 80. That means he got the sh## show that Pelini left him turned around and all is well in Huskerville. Bolievers like you can't help but dance in the aisles when we struggle because its all about your boy Bo that didn't five a rat's ass about Nebraska. All he was about was himself and his next job. So keep on rooting for Riley to fail because it will make it all the sweeter when he proves you wrong.
