I wouldn't have bumped it myself, but after reading the entire thread it became hard not to say something... last fall was so frustrating with the voices who didn't give Riley a chance when he arrived and couldn't wait to pile on when adversity struck.
I know I'm referencing my own post, but don't you agree this "I told you so" should wait for 3-4 more games?
I do agree, which is why I said I never would have bumped it. My problem was that I reread everything, which caused me to have acid reflux and respond...
I know, a little stalkerish, but decided that a simple search of his posts would remind me when he posted last.
There is a long way to go to go before a thread of this type is justified - we could lose the next 3 out of four - I hope not but very possible
I will reiterate... I never would have bumped it. The only reason I posted in it after it was bumped is because of all the trash talking.
God, you are a breath of ammonia..
Whoa-hey let's not go overboard with the positive feelings and optimism.
What is so overboard about posting we could lose 3 of the next 4 ? - Or Indiana, Wisconsin and Ohio State. Are you so jaded you cannot at least look at things reasonably. At least I do not get on here demanding everyone be fired after the first loss as some sunshine pumpers do - setting realistic expectations for how you view things is not bad - if it offends you sorry, thats your gig
This doesn't make a whole lot of sense. Sunshine pumpers aren't the ones who demand people be fired after one loss.
Don't worry, magic isn't real. Life just kind of happens. The successes and failures of the Huskers going forward will have nothing to do with this thread. No matter how well or bad they play from here on out, this thread had nothing to do with it.Bumping this thread would have a lot more merit if it had been done so at the end of the season. I'm somewhat superstitious when it comes to sports, and I feel like the bumper just jinxed us.
Holy crap man - I was responding to a thread someone had dredged up from after the Purdue game for the sole purpose of rubbing the original posters nose in his thought that the coaches sucked. I was simply pointing out the obvious that the season could still go either way. I was not making a prediction we lose 3 out of 4 in fact I think we beat Indiana and I like us against Wisconsin and Purdue so I am thinking 3-1.
How about Read coaches the special teams to block for him - when he catches a punt there are 5 defenders in his face
Yes, because improvement should be based on finishing in the top ten after a 6-7 season. To top that off, it's been 15 years since Nebraska finished in the top 10.
If we win most remaining games, you are correct. If we lose, I will come back and re-bump this thread.
But I bet you were fine with the season not playing out last year before making your judgement..
Translation: wait until the season plays out-gotta keep up hope for the team to tank the rest of the season so I can have a reason to complain because I have to stretch for reasons to complain when we're 5-0.
If there's anywhere that's not a step up from Washington State, it's Purdue. His style of offense works great in the Pac 12 where they don't play defense. Might not work so well in the B1G. I see no reason why he would leave WSU with what he is building there.
For starters twice the pay. Even Purdue is making big $ now and wants to pay Ferentz type $.
Damn taters!!
