I have 100% support of my team, have and always will. If I think our coaching staff is not performing and earning their very high paychecks (guessing more than 99% of the posters here) which they are not. I do not support them 1%. They know what they got I to and if they are not performing, tough crap. I always feel for the kids, because this year, I believe they are not being put in a position to win due to our poor coaching staff. They have proven over and over that they have no freakin clue how to fix it. So it's time for a change.
 

Remember that song Things That Make You Go Hmmmmm? Well, this is a thread that makes me go :puke:

Why must all you guys who know the majority of posters agree with your viewpoint (which doesn't mean it's right by a long shot) feel this need to rally the troops all the time to show everyone else who the "true fans" are? People wonder why coaches don't want to come to NU? Maybe its the cult mentality a large percentage of the fan base possesses that scares them away?

I think this board is very fair on both sides of the fence in terms of calling out players. It doesn't happen all that often, IMO. As abrasive as I come off I'd challenge you to find numerous posts where I bash any players other than TM, who just so happens to play the most important position on the team and has heard it from basically everyone.

So y'all just put your high horses back in the stable where they belong. I've been following Husker football for over 50 years and will do so until the day I die. I/we don't need a reminder every week or so as to how superior a fan y'all think you are.

Wow I thought this was a football message board not a dating site???
This explains the porn adds that I got from the board... Whatever floats your boats.
He can't quit you pops :wave:
 
It's fair to be critical of the coaches and less so the players, but to attack, abuse, lay blame on and name call just isn't needed.

NU just isn't a very good team. I'm still a fan. I still go nuts when they win and kick the dog when they lose. This year the dog hides a lot. It is what it is and all the teeth gnashing in the world won't change that.
 




I think it's great to discuss plays, game plans, best players etc. I'm just not one to blame individuals or call for coaches heads everytime we lose or have a bad game. I have stood and clapped for our team when they got on the bus after a loss. Could You look into their eyes and say what some say here. All I ever saw was pain and sadness in their eyes as they got on the bus. There would be a lot of fat lips given out if you tried to talk about them to their faces. IMO.

sexy rexy, roy heLU! I'm a great fan how bout YOU!
 
I think it is abundantly clear I am a 99er.

I just wish this board was made up of less 1%ers. Is there any other place that doesn't get so down on their team?

The amount of hate Taylor Martinez has taken is astounding to me. People who hate on him should be ashamed to be Nebraskans. We are supposed to be nice people.

What is truly absurd is Bo's insinuation that 99% of fans are satisfied with his performance. That right there is the definition of insanity. The truth is far, far closer to a complete inversion of those percentages. Bo's inability to understand this, can only be rivaled in magnitude by his inability to understand how to defend the jet sweep.

I am all for sticking up for the players, but the coaches must be accountable, period!! They are paid big bucks, period!
 
I don't criticize players because they're young and not directly paid. I think it's perfectly fair to criticize coaches though. They are highly compensated and they are adults. Bo is the highest paid state employee in Nebraska and Tim Beck is one of the highest compensated OCs in the country. If we aren't getting results, I blame the guys getting paid. I do not feel bad at all criticizing them when they are handsomely paid and put an embarrassing product on the field. Furthermore, he is not a classy guy so I could give a crap if I hurt his feelings. He's probably cussing up a storm right now yelling about a fair weather fan base when we have the longest running sell out streak in NCAA history.

Let's be real. People aren't freaking out over a few hard fought losses. It's year 6 and Bo is still getting blown out. He just lost to the perennial door mat of the big ten. There's losing and then there's what Pelini's teams do. Take Wisconsin from 2012. They lost 6 games in 2012. That's a lot. Let's take a closer look though. 3 were in overtime and all of them were by a TD or less. One was to an undefeated team, and another was to a top 6 team. Not so bad now that we looked at the details. They lost hard fought games. Pelini's teams get embarrassed on national TV regularly and he gets out coached by very average coaches. There's a difference.

At the end of the day, it'll be a business decision for Shawn Eichorst. Right now, it's looking like Pelini is bad for business. The fans don't have faith in the coach and they are beginning to slide into apathy. That's not good for biggest cash producing sport.

I still support this team and the coaches, pretty much. The end of the season will be soon enough to make an evaluation.

So, be ready to settle for the same as in the past? Is that what you want? We are on the way, possibly, having the worst year, yet, under Bo. If the D doesn't get it right, we may lose the majority of the games that are left. :(
