And they were huge wins; that simply weren't happening. We have several assistant coaches who are building outstanding position groups and becoming destination spots for recruits. - and another couple developing IMO; huge.
Would 8-4..

Hey, I'm just going off of probability and historical performances. I never said anything to the effect of "we got lucky" in those games most had chalked up as losses. Just said there were some head-scratching losses to inferior teams last year.
But you and Internet Badass already have me figured out. I'm not a Husker fan, and want the team to lose. There could be nothing I could post to make you believe I actually want Riley and team to do well. You already have your minds made up, and I haven't had a lot of interactions with you - but I know Internet Badass guy thinks he has everything figured out, and is basically boneheaded about everything here.
You're such a keyboard warrior, Internet Badass. Always instigating fights, because you somehow have convinced yourself you're smart.
All you do is start fights on this board. Methinks you have Napoleon Complex.
The doubters will say....yes...but were they commitable Offers? They will also say Chongo was a Bama offer.
Yep ; but there is a decent wash-out rate among four and five stars , not all make it. I can't remember precisely how it works at Ala ; but you better be pressing for 2nd string by Soph year there or they will aid you with other options ? Developing players costs a lot of scholies; SEC likes to offer the max and , cut the riff to stay within the maximums.

Why are you so upset? All you had to do was say "you're wrong I love the program". Are you offended?
It is sad to see that some people are trying to justify that a bad record would be OK… A bad record is not OK no matter how the losses happen. When you look at the schedule this year if you don't think you see at least nine wins in maybe 10 that's a problem. This is a good team with a good coaching staff.
I was much younger; but it seemed under T O ; you set the goal to go undefeated and be able to play for THE title after conference. Basically after looking over that, you NEXT set out to maximize all the phases of your game for the season, to help you against top opponents and any down game vs an opponent you should be counting on a win - in other words ; outstanding kicking game and running might offset a poor pass defense that day....
So you are focusing on winning it all and being in a position to win titles - not 9 victories / basically 9 wins became the worst you fell too, in an adverse year.
So we know " " happens; but I think the above may fit more what some are saying? Its what we did too build the N title machine. IMO; I am not a happy coach unless I am top 10% in all categories; 20% minimum . GBR
Yes, I'm sure my saying that would've convinced you. Lol.
Offended by you? Hardly. But I won't refrain from admitting I think you bring little to the board anymore.
i may not bring much, either, but at least all of my posts aren't all childish, inflammatory banter. Have a nice day, Internet Badass.

You really took a post like that as "trying to start a fight?". I would think a recycled poster like yourself would have more experience. Everyone knows you want this regime to tank. Just admit it. There is nothing wrong with owning it. Deep breaths, it is Sunday. No reason to get so worked upm
Me too. An 8-4 record this year on this schedule could only be a sign of coaching error at one or more levels. Failure to have the team properly prepared, game planning, in-game decisions..., something. An 8-4 record should not be OK for any Husker fan.
Our roster is fine, offensive and defensive schemes are good, player development looks excellent and then this most helpful schedule.
In a dozen ways this staff looks professional, experienced and well organized. Simply put, we are set up for ten wins this year with a nine win floor.
I'll add one caveat. We play the games for a reason. It's always possible two or more opponents step up and have a fine season. Northwestern won ten games last year including an opening win over Stanford. Lovie Smith may spin magic and win eight or nine games. Mitch Leidner may tear it up leading Minnesota to nine wins. Who knows?
But from what we have to look at now, how do we fans settle on an 8-4 record. Looks like a failure to me. From the distance of preseason.

I agree. But the D-line is such a concern. Parrella has no room for excuses, given that the clamoring for a "Husker" connection was so important. He needs to produce quarter 1, game 1. Anything less and the honeymoon is over. Just because he used to play here is a stupid reason to be objective, because the other coaches on the staff were never given that courtesy by quite a few Husker "fans".
Two things, Parrella brings more to the table than just being a past Husker, no?
And the D/L is a concern but if they just do one thing well - keep the LBs clean - our linebackers will cover many of their shortcomings. And adding that keeping the LBs clean is one of the easier tasks for a D/L. especially if that's a focus.

We shall see what he brings. I figured he would get the same treatment as the rest of the staff. In all reality, if he can teach how to play like he did (great motor, take no crap, never give up) that would go a long way to changing the culture.
Both sides of the line have been soft for way too long.
You don't, that's for certain. Plus, you're doing the exact same thing you claim he's doing.
Your estimate of what JP brings to the table: Ex Husker.
My estimate: Long successful NFL career, early recruiting acumen leading to (justifiable) speculation of future recruiting success, coaching experience. And, I suppose, ex Husker, if that's a qualifying thing.
That's all I meant by 'brings more to the table'.
Agreeing with the rest of your post.
Upm?
Haha. Dude, all you do is start fights, because you're THE ORIGINAL Internet Badass. Everyone knows you start arguments where there really should be none to be had.
Yeah, it's me who is worked up, solely because I called you on the same ol' 4.6.3 behavior.
It's actually funny, to anyone reading this, they know you have a temper, are a keyboard warrior, and tend to bring very little to the conversation. Take this thread for example.
I post my opinion, and you turn it into "I know what you REALLY believe. Because I'm 4.6.3, and I am very, very smart."
And instead of staying on topic, you just end up arguing about anything but the topic.
