Watched replay of NW-NU 'HailMary game'

Read the thread. I'll say it again.........If it's OK to bash to players, then it's OK to bash the head coach....and that doesn't mean you like Bo, or miss Bo or give a f about Bo.

That's my point, no other.

Bo is like the term racism....overused to deflect from the original point.

Predictable...


Surely you can do better
 
Here are a sampling of your posts... defending players and teams without fail. When Cornicator dogs tommy with a dear Tommy letter you've got nothing to say. Either it's a double standard or it's because it happened during Riley's tenure. Which is it?


Uh neither ..you don't dictate crap...thats what you Bo-tuggers try to do..

You want me be to mad on your terms...thats why you posted I would be mad....you don't get to dictate what I think is disparaging...It was kind of funny tbh.

Then help me understand what's going on inside your brain... That wasn't disparaging to you. But saying Tommy sucked that game is. Why can't I see what you are sayin in these two posts?
 
"Tommy sucked that day." - offensive.

... I will also add Tommy Armstrong's worst game as a Husker was vs. Iowa in 2015. Pretty sure Kirk Ferentz sent him a thank you card with some free movie tickets or a Walmart giftcard after the game.


"Dear Tommy,

Thank you for throwing the ball directly to our players who weren't covering anyone and just sitting in zone coverage. I especially appreciated the pick 6 at the two yard line. You keep being you Tommy.

From Iowa with Love,
Kirk "

Btw, sorry I 'dictated' what you would think. I was just going off of previous posts you made. I should taken in the multiple personalities.

Because I'm referencing the many posts bashing the players.. sure his post can be seen as personal....but I'm not using one post for reference.

I hated the last 2 seasons of Bo's tenure because of all the drama...I couldn't just enjoy football...so I have no problem with him being fired and criticized him.

But posters are attacked if they criticize Riley and accused of loving Bo..when the truth is we don't give a crap about Bo...never knew him.

But when it comes to bashing players there is no retort or Bo gets brought up.. it's old.

Hate Bo not the players,which was my original post in this thread, when someone said they wouldn't watch the 2009 team. I listed similar negatives in our championship seasons..then you insinuated I was sticking up for Bo....no it was for the players who performed at a high level.

Thanks for taking the time for a thoughtful and reasoned response. I have no problem with this. I still don't understand why you weren't upset by cornicator's post but at least I see where you are coming from in this post.

Np..I have no ill will towards you...

Honestly I felt like it was a set up question..nothing personal.

Apologies for the name calling... I get too worked up sometimes. No place for it, and I need to be better. Sorry.

Edit: that's my multiple personality coming out. :)

I apologize as well...truth is your one of my favorite posters..you try to be reasonable.

I wish more people did this on here. Would make things a lot easier. Thanks guys. Appreciate it.

Some people think they are holier than thou and have satisfaction of belittle others.

Sparky you know who I'm talking about.
 
I don't dwell on Coach Pelini. However, no one I know was upset that Nebraska won those games they shouldn't have. What was maddening was that Coach Pelini won enough to NOT get fired. Year after year. Just enough to NOT get fired. Hell, I felt better about last year than just about every year under Coach Pelini. Why? Because we were competitive in almost every game.

Sure, wins are important. Very. But if our overall goal is conference championships and beyond then it was clear after Year 4 or Year 5 that a Pelini led Husker squad was not going to achieve that goal. There's the whole he didn't want to be here attitude, the douchebag persona, the "Us against Them" mentality and other behavioral issues that contributed towards his demise.

Recruiting was sub par for a school like NU. Nine wins was good, but that wasn't (and should never be) the goal. Above it all, I think that NU needs to be competitive against all competition. Last year I felt we were competitive in all our games. Throw in our injury issues and lack of depth and I'm amazed at how well we did despite that.

Yeah, Turnover Tommy was awful against Iowa (my first home game in 26 years). You never got the feeling that NU would ever be able to compete against the better teams under Coach Pelini. Being an asshat on top of it makes his dismissal easy, IMHO.
Thanks, bigboxes. You just saved me a lot of time I would have spent typing most of the same thoughts you brought here. Especially this one: "Hell, I felt better about last year than just about every year under Coach Pelini. Why? Because we were competitive in almost every game."
 
Well this took a sharp turn. I said TA4 $ucked in that game because he did. He had three interceptions including a wtf one deep in our territory late in the game to set up their go ahead FG. But that doesn't mean I am bashing him or don't support him. Do you honestly think he played well that day? We all know that we get good Tommy/bad Tommy and this was definitely bad Tommy. Similar to 2013 Michigan St, 2015 Northwestern and 2015 Iowa bad. That is under both coaches btw. I support pretty much everybody that has played for us, but I will say if someone had a bad game.

On the subject of luck, I do believe that the harder you work, the luckier you get. There are a few notable exceptions, but for the most part our teams under BO played hard until the final gun. It is what allowed our numerous comebacks and highly favorable record in close games. Of course, why the hell did we have to come from behind so many times is another question!

The frustrating thing about him is that he hasn't improved all that much in that department during the past 2 years. We all have hope that it will be different his senior year. I guess we'll see.

Nothing wrong with taking a wait and see attitude with TA. He is the key to having a big year this year. All signs point to him having a good year, but we will see.

Athlon ranked TA as the 3rd best QB in the BIG for 2016. Sometimes things like this,can give a player a little confidence boost.

Make no mistake our season is on TA and the OL, IMO.

I wish we could time warp TA back to 1990, I think he would be just a killer in that offense. I watched that Northwestern game again, the way he runs the option, he'd be amazing in that system. My thought was, "If they had a better QB, they should have moved him to running back. He's an awesome runner."

+1 ..... he reminds me a bit of Steve Taylor

My biggest issue was he acted we should be grateful he won enough to not get fired. Being humble in those situations is the safest course.

We were in Bogatory. Not good enough to win championships but not bad enough to force a change. Until finally his asshatery made it inevitable.

After hearing some of the stories about said asshatery, I am shocked he was able to win 9 games per year.
 
And the thing was his supporters kept comparing his 9 wins to Osborne's 9 wins even though he played more games a season. Maddening, I tell ya!
Osborne played less games and never lost 4 games in a year.
