Pet Peeves - NU Football

[leodisflowers]

Listened to a podcast where they talked about Pet Peeves related to their favorite sport or team. It was pretty funny, so interested in hearing some on our side.

1. Calling any OL since the 90s the “Pipeline”. Drives me nuts

2. The announcers letting us know it’s third down. Not sure why that was ever added.

3. That Irish song. WTF are we doing?

Stand up and Shout
The yelling PA guy on 3rd down
Traffic after the game

Yeah I could do without the "it's thirrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrd"

That Irish song isnt really an Irish song. Its just an Irish styled local band singing it. It pays tribute to the teams of the past. Far better than that jump around shit.

Why is stand up and shout a pet peeve?
Sadly, some people need to be told what to do. Some only get it half right and just stand up, like that’s doing any ****ing good.

1. People that sit during the entire game.
2. People that hold conversations about stupid shit, not related to the game. Why did you waste the $$$$$ on a ticket.
3. Traffic, people driving slow in the left lane.

Defense:
1. Overrunning a QB sack and missing the tackle. stop,drop,roll.
2. Soft coverage. We want it tight and hard. Worst is not playing the line to gain on 3rd down.
3. Tie: Poor tackling and not being lined up pre-snap

Offense:
1. No screen game- better under Rhule
2. Inability to run a normal route: drop back-throw a strike. Adrian M. was prime culprit of completing most throws on improvised scrambles.
3. Tie: OL not continuing to move their feet until the whistle blows and procedure penalties.

Special Teams:
1. More than 2 shanked punts in a year.

can confirm. not an irish band. sing songs about sausage and drinking. just use folk instruments on some songs.

1. Stand up and shout....is that Sam Kinison? I like the reason, hate the sound. Find something else
2. Van Halen "Right now" stupid song.
3. Pilots of the flyover opening their shirts to reveal.......HUSKER shirts! Wow, crazy!
4. Fans singing BA BA BA on Sweet Caroline. So stupid.

Lil Red continuing to exist and showing up at football games. Ugh

I don't mind Lil' Red. It's our main mascot that I find ugly.

 

[Zeke2005]

Finishing near the bottom of the conference. Being in this conference to begin with (damn Texas)
Fans that are Excusing losing under Rhule because his teams aren’t very good until year 3 (why does it have to remain that way?)

 

[Baxter48]

We’re close

BOOMER SOONER 14,000 times a game with broadcast mics next to the band.

I know I'm off topic but I hate it!!!

People act like Li'l Red is cursed when he was first blow'd up in 1993, kicking off the greatest run in Nebraska football history.

I meant they play Irish folk type stuff and yes from Lincoln

 

[Huskerfan2112]

Wahlberg from the movie “Rockstar”

I must say that corny song makes us all look like a bunch of hillbillies. Can’t stand it.

Pet Peeves:
-Our matching band being a shell of its former self. Watching old games from the 80s and 90s, I didn’t know that we used to Boomer Sooner the hell out of our fight song after picking up 1st downs, big plays, etc. It sounded great, and just like after playing Tennessee, USC, and Oklahoma, you’d have remnants of Hail, Varsity! stuck in your head for days.

—No more “Can You Feel It?” at kickoff. Who cares that Frost didn’t like it?? All the more reason to bring it back. That’ll teach ‘em.

—Any talk about lowering capacity into the 70,000s. That home field advantage we had for Colorado? Do whatever you have to do to keep it.

—injured kickers

—Biggest pet peeve: losing close games where a mentally tough team that’s strong in the trenches would have made the difference.

Nailed it!

The Simba cam & the dumb gopher with a corn head singing the beginning of “Day-O (the banana boat song). Both fricken annoy me at the games.

Agreed on the band. They're nothing like they used to be

Wonder what happened? Terrible call to move away from what they were doing. I can’t believe how active and involved the marching band used to be—even in road games—compared to now.
