I'm so sick of your attitude. You obviously do not like Nebraska and you hate Bo Pelini.
That's fine, that's your opinion.

But I'm making a rule for you:

If/when the Cornhuskers ever win any type of championship or have an excellent season

You are NOT allowed to cheer for them, or feel good about it, or claim some allegiance.

You are to be on the outside looking in, with all of your critism standing right next to you.

Why don't you take a break from the board for awhile and examine why you even spend your time here?

Let's attack this in parts.

- I don't hate Nebraska. I enjoyed my time at school there, my activities, and living in the state. So already you've proved to me that your perception skills are sh#t.

-Thank you for letting me have my opinion!

-if you were able to actually read and comprehend the written word, you might have noticed that I bring things up like conference championships quite often. It would be nice if Nebraska won one in football again. I would like this. I would probably cheer.

-because I would like this scenario, in my spare time, sometimes, I like to look at some of the things that I think are preventing Nebraska from winning said championships. Because I live in California, I sometimes go to an online community to discuss these things. I use this one as recommended from some friends. Most of the people here are pretty cool. Some are myopic automatons. Guess which one you are coming off as right now?

-It's "criticism", you illiterate a$$.

-and once again, I like talking about all aspects of Nebraska football. However, this year I have found myself growing very, very tired of the blind hope going into next season. And the very obvious lowered bar for the entire program. I'm not taking a break from talking about it, this board doesn't exist to be your moist towel for your mindless fapping. If you don't like what I have to say, click "ignore" and move on. I'll talk with the people who don't agree with me, and actually offer up insight all day long. That's fun.

everyone wants pelini to win, some of us just do not think he will. all of us "negativers" want to be proven wrong more than anything.

I feel like that is only true half the time. I really think there are people here who would rather see us go 5-7 just so Bo gets fired. Sacrifice to the greater good mentality.

How much longer do you give Bo? If you say 2-3 more years that is a long time. putting him at 9-10 years and specially if 9 wins and bowl wins are all he has to show for it.

Its not that black and white. You cant account for (insert "excuse" here) year in and year out. If he goes 9-4 again this year I wouldnt immidiately fire him. Id want to know why that happened.

well i wouldn't fire him either if he went 9-4 but he certainly is or would be on the hot seat and start a serious coaching search. I'd want to know why he can field any team and get the same record year after year.

Im tired of the excuses myself. Reasons are reasons for a reason. If we go 9-4 Id guess we lost to MSU Miami and Wiscy and lost a bowl game. Doing that this year with our talent in place would be disapointing to me.

Hardly. We werent out of the Iowa or Michigan State games until the closing minutes. Take away a couole turnovers and realistically we couldve won either one or both. I attended both in person, doesnt make me an expert but I saw what I saw and the final score was more reflective of a team that was in it to win it but lost the ball at crucial times.

how does that make it better? all it does is demonstrate a trend that better teams can outlast us.

and the turnovers are part of our game. they have been for a while now. so saying, "just take away turnovers," is akin to saying, "just add a heisman qb." yeah, it would certainly help, but it was not an isolated lapse in execution. at this point, it is wishful thinking.

No, you like talking about one aspect of Nebraska football. You dwell on the negatives and mock anyone that dares to disagree with you. We win a big bowl game against an SEC team? It doesn't matter because Bo sucks are we're going to lose every game next year.

It'd be one thing if you were just another Debbie Downer, but it your holier than thou, elitist attitude that gets threads like this made about you.

That's not true. I'm perfectly capable of talking with anyone on this board who wants to do so. Ask around.

Which big bowl game did Bo win by the way?

Err... no.

At the risk of turning this into a football discussion, we don't have such a trend. Our trend was to fall behind and then come back in the waning minutes - we can all cite the examples over the past few years, beginning with Ohio State and continuing through Penn State this year. This year's losses weren't part of an "outlasting us" trend. They were just ugly.

Okay so me taking away a turnover to change the outcome of the game is unfair but negating one of our touchdowns to cause us to lose a game is okay?

Like I said, both arguments are tired. Its reflextive of bad coaching that not all our games were won by blowouts? Come on.

yeah, i agree. but if you want to bring up the iowa and msu game and argue that we were close to winning those, i would disagree and say they were more demonstrative of the better team eventually putting the game away. 'trend' and 'outlast' were a poor choices of words and i was only referring to those two games as they fit into this year.

i do not think we were close to winning them. i should have put it this way: those two games demonstrated what it looks like when a team has a complete break down after keeping it close despite themselves (as we saw with msu, and iowa. and we saw a breakdown with ucla, even though we were just playing really well at the start. all home games, nonethless). not what it looks like when a game is close and victory is just barely out of grasp.

Of course you are going to play down a New Years Day bowl game win against Georgia.

And honestly if everyone here had productive conversations with you, do you truly believe there would be two Woodshed threads for you? You derail threads with nonsense, along with your buddy True. You talk down to anyone that disagrees with you. You disregard anything that doesn't fit to your world view of "Nebraska football sucks, Pelini sucks, other fans suck because they are optimistic"

hail mary passes for us are extremely rare, fumbles for us are quite common.

the issue is not that we are not winning by blowouts, the issue is that we are losing by blowouts. hence, we were much closer to 5-7 than 11-1.

Which could raise the point that this team doesn't prepare well, then wakes up and actually plays pretty well.

But why? Do the players think the N on the helmet and the crystal footballs in North stadium beat other teams? Do they think that those teams didn't work for them? Do the coaches not prepare well week in and week out anymore?

If asked I would say a lot of very visible players buy into the Nebraska mystique but don't want to put the work in. That would be where a strong team leader or two would step in. But they haven't had one of those in quite a while.

I think True kinda smells like beef actually.

And I'm not playing down the last bowl game. It was what it was. Nebraska won a lower tier bowl game against a team that didn't have a lot of motivation to be there (yeah I'm speculating, but there were pictures on deadspin of UGA partying in their rooms at midnight before the game) and with their sure-fire nfl draft pick QB out, along with others. And they were still a dropped pass away at the end of beating. Nebraska.

Was it a good win? Yes. Was it a big bowl win. C'mon man, go put the Taxslayer.com Gator Bowl trophy next to the Orange, Fiesta, and BCS trophies, or even next to the conference championship ones and get back to me.

We Only lowt one game Id consider a blowout and thats UCLA. MSU and Iowa were competetive games. We put alot of yards on the vaunted Sparty D. Role reversal for Iowa, normally they are the team with bare cupboards but we still kept it close with a 3rd string QB. It doesnt make the losses okay, but it gives a strong reason for them.

We were just as close to 11-1 as we were 5-7 because neither are the reality.

I suppose you could see it as not preparing well. Or it could point out that we had the most inexperienced defense we've had in recent years and that we lost our record-setting Senior quarterback to injury and had to rely on a Freshman.

I do think there's quite a bit of "we're Nebraska" between the ears of Bo's teams. They're not that Nebraska, and the sooner they realize that the more able they'll be to play to their potential. Not only did none of our current guys win those crystal trophies, most of them were in diapers when they were one.

HEY GUYS

HEY

Look hey. hey. look.

I have developed a helpful coding primer to make better sense of NUpolo8's posts:

Losing = We got blown out.

Winning = Yeah except for exception #1, exception #2, exception #3, exception #4, exception#x, y and z, so it really wasn't that impressive!
