Purdy Refuses to Face Media After L

[redli]

He looked bitterly disappointed on the sidelines as time ran out.
If the posters on this thread are representative of the fans, I'd strongly suggest he move away from this toxic environment.

Good. He should be. But to blame the fans: people who have filled the stadium and travelled for 20 years of mostly garbage, who have donated and bought tickets and merchandise, who pay for the NIL deals, etc. is completely backwards. People work all week digging ditches, farming, tax auditing, teaching, running their landscaping business, or whatever they do and then take that money and go to games, buy shirts, or just out right donate so that the N can have all sorts of nice things. The fans investment allowed them to parlay this into a move to a stable conference and massive media rights deals. It allows administrators, who mostly do nothing, to have nice offices and auto leases, it allows for the employment of thousands of people and money sent back to the academic portion of university to help educate students. All of this is because of the fans, none of it is possible if they were playing on an empty field without TV coverage.
At this point, there needs to be some equity returned to the investors of this corporation in the form of wins, not complaints from the people benefitting from the years of that labor.

These guys would save themselves a lot of grief if they occasionally made the right play instead of the wrong one. I'm thinking all the way back to Purify who fumbled the first play of the big 12 title game and was allegedly in tears after the game. Do the right thing then you won't have to cry about it later. Also looking at you Caleb W.

I love old guys who probs never played ANYTHING meaningful giving advice to actual athletes...

Would you require your oncologist to have had cancer in order to treat your cancer? There's legitimate arguments against my post, foremost being it's pretty insensitive, but yours isn't one of them. I also know when a movie is garbage, even though I've never made a movie before.

Let's be honest. Sometimes the harder you are trying not to F up the more likely it is to happen. This is a team that has had a shit ton of personnel issues on offense with injuries, inexperience, etc and one of the reasons we as fans get frustrated is we realize that some of these play calls are higher risk than going the Iowa route of being as vanilla as possible and waiting for the opposition to screw up. Purdy played well against the second best defense we faced this year in only his second start. Add in the pressure of knowing it's for bowl eligibility and it's a lot.
Even after the interception if the defense doesn't give up a 25 yard run on the next pay it just leads to OT. Also, the officiating was questionable many times especially on the non-targeting call and the frozen clock. Why the clock wasn't corrected is also a mystery.

It is interesting he declined, definitely not a guy who is ever going to be wearing a C on his jersey in the future.

Someone bookmark this in case he gets a C on his jersey.

With analogies like this who can disagree?

Also only people who have been in car wrecks can say to wear seatbelts.

purdy graduates in Dec

Child, youth and family studies major. Interesting. Doubt many 6 figure jobs in that right out of college. Unless he's just totally done with football and ready to move on, nil should be better than going into the workforce

Yeah OP, Purdy sucks and you like HH. We know. Maybe one more thread about how much better HH is then Purdy will be enough? You insert HH into almost any thread that you can. It's ridiculous dude, move on.

Can almost guarantee IF any of the 3 are back next year to play QB, it would be Purdy. Despite him not wanting to talk to the media....haha.

If you just take a look at what the coaches thought going into the first game, you can see what they believe. They had HH playing split/tight end. They weren't planning on playing him at QB but Purdy got injured and they had no other choice. HH did just enough in spite of himself to help the Huskers win 5 games in the softest part of the schedule.

Our QB1 is probably not here yet. He will be soon though and I can't wait to see who it is.

Me too. Then we'll be doing cartwheels or throwing darts. But then again a high percentage of us had high hopes for sims. Don't fool me twice

Who give a F whether or not a college kid wants to talk to the media?

It's the HH fan boy Kong. If HH had done the same, he would be saying he cares more than anyone else and he's a true leader for taking the L so hard.

Wow…. Comparing this to oncology … a stretch , wouldn’t you say?

 

[schuele]

I'm in favor of keeping both, especially if we are going to continue getting our QB's beat to shit. Also, Haarberg could be special at several other positions and I think that might be a real possibility.

If I was Haarberg, the hot girlfriend factor would be enough to keep me in Lincoln.

"Coach says I'm the 3rd string H-back now? Oh well, whatever's best for the team!"

But will the hot girlfriend still want to be his girlfriend if he’s third string H-Back? Doubtful, lol.

Gotta love the playcalling for Chubba.
1. Snap ball
2. Run for your life sideways, like your hair is on fire.
3. Just 'get' unobstructed view of the field.
4. Throw to freshman reciever who most of the time are heavily covered or running inexact route.
5. If that doesn't seem to be working, throw to Oompa Loompa who will net zero yards after catch.

Nice try, this is the oldest message board fight trick in the book. Stop clutching your pearls, it's an example to show that you don't need a bunch of experience at something to know when it's bad. Were you offended by the movie example too?

 

[Laner2]

His parents display an Iowa State flag at their business but not a husker one.

True. And they sell butt wipe with the Pee Bird on it.

 

[oldjar07]

This is silly. I don't really want any of them returning as the starter (my order Purdy>Haar>Sims), but flushing the entire room leaves the very real possibility of an ever bigger shit show next year. If you think there are even good odds that going 100% portal + freshman would be an improvement you're not paying attention. Keeping Purdy and Haarberg on the roster AND bringing in a solid transfer would be a huge win. I believe that both would be better next year because I have to believe in Rhule's ability to develop until I see he can't do it. It's really all we have. The defense developed a bunch of guys into better players this year, now the offense needs to do the same.

I hate the turnstile with players college football has become. I'd like to see some continuity with HH and Purdy staying. We need to bring in a starting caliber qb from the portal and be willing to pay what that's worth. That being said, Sims can gtho, don't want to see him back again.

I agree there's nothing to be proud of about Nebraska these days, but that's pretty low.

I'm sort of with you. Serious football fans can certainly point out that something is wrong/bad/a problem. Most probably think they have an idea as to why, but lack the expertise and/or critical thinking skills to really understand. And no, I do not think most people have any idea what constitutes a good movie, and definitely cannot articulate what, how, or, why.

 

[Tetonia]

All ‘media’ can suck a pole. Good for Purdy. F*cking Vultures… much prefer the guy who shun the media. That’s their right. They’re entitled to ZERO outside of, what, rosters and injuries?

Orrrrrrr, and hear me out.....we don't treat our players who give it their all, like total dog shit.

What they’re paying Sims based on his NIL market value was like BandAid on cancer. And a terminal cancer, if you’ll permit the analogy. We had NO CHANCE this year with the talent we had @ QB. Some of us wondered WHAT THE F*CK THEY WERE DOING at the time.

 

[Land Shark7]

He was very non-committal about next year after the wisc game, too

Wouldn’t surprise me at all

Sparky can use a QB

Who is Sparky?

There's no chance that these people are giving their all. None. 0.0 chance.

I don't believe the play calling was to the strength of any of our 3 QBs this year, none of whom are pocket passers.

yet, satt insisted on spreading it out with no weapons over and over and over again.

said it week 1, still saying it now. some will say it's because I'm unintelligent, childish and have an agenda. most, however, will agree with me.

 

[GBR_Atlanta]

We could get Peyton Manning in here and he won’t succeed with our OC. Statistically he’s one of the worst in the business, and always has been. I don’t care who comes in next year. Satt is our problem. And he’s a big one. I hope Purdy comes back. Who the hell is going to come here with Satt’s track record?

 

[Laner3]

Orrrrrrr, and hear me out.....we don't treat our players who give it their all, like total dog shit.

No chance they gave it their all.

 

[Baxter48]

Like I’ve mentioned before if the refs don’t have to answer media questions why should the players especially when the kid busted his butt and lost a close game, and the media would be asking him questions why did you throw that interception

 

[Truewooper]

I hope so. We need all three of our scholarship quarterbacks to transfer out so we have 3 scholarships to give to transfer quarterbacks. I never want to see any of our current QB’s on the field of play again.

I actually wouldn't mind Chubba sticking around. HH would be fine too if all he did was wildcat.

 

[whatwouldlawrencephillipsdo]

Who knows maybe he’s transferring out.

pretty good chance of this imo if he wants to make an nfl roster at some point considering he knows we are going after a portal qb to be the guy.

 

[RBigredMax]

Garbage. Dude you are crapping on these kids - sorry they aren’t living up to your amazing standards.

Would love to know what you do for living and what kind of shape you are in. I have my guesses so would really like to see if I’m close.

It’s annoying to sit here and question the effort of our players - it’s tools like you who give our fan base a bad name.

 

[Big bo fan]

No one has ever doubted you.

You've proven you're the most knowledgeable person on this board time and time again.
