Disappointed with all the negativity

It shouldn't have to be stated but the negativity is ugly, counter productive, and completely contrary to the 'Nebraska Way'.

There is a huge upgrade in coaching talent of Riley's crew over that of Bo's crew.

NU fans were sold on a false premise and delusions of grandeur - we are all guilty. Reality says there was never anyone else in play yet we all wanted to believe that if it wasn't Tressel, it'd be Patterson, if not him then someone else from a common list of A-list names.

Well the reality of it Riley gives us what we are looking for in terms of both coaching ability as well as national respect and attention.

A poster on HuskerMax wrote a great post on the issue of Riley's coaching strategy and philosophy. It should be mandatory reading for ALL fans. I will post the link (if that is allowed). If that isn't allowed, I apologize (I am new here) and you'll have to find the post yourself. It is titled "Mike Riley Nike Coach of the Year Clinic Talk (2013)". Its worth the time to read and it should answer any fan's fear of Riley and where he will take NU: http://forum.huskermax.com/vbbs/showthread.php?69099-Mike-Riley-Nike-Coach-of-the-Year-Clinic-Talk-(2013)

Hopefully, the negative fans get it out of their systems, see the big picture, and give 100% support from Springball on...

That sounds great, hope we can do all that.........still don't get why the obsession with positive and negative fans? Our attitude will follow what we see on the field. Do you think we should keep a positive attitude if we lose 3 of the first 6 games? Do you think my attitude will cause us to win all those games? We didn't hire the guy, had nothing to do with the decision.....why is our attitude so important? Personally I like the guy and it sounds like he knows a thing or two. Are donors bailing? Could you clue us in why newbs with 10 posts keep showing up lecturing us on our attitude?

Allow this newb to clarify! I am new here. After Pelini got fired I was so hungry for news, so anxious to see what others were saying I searched and found this site. I immediately became a member, desperately wanting to converse with other Husker fans that were concerned about the program, excited about who the new coach would be, how the players were reacting, how it would affect recruits, etc., etc. Just because I'm new to this site does not mean I don't have an opinion, so please, show some respect.

In terms of the negativity I reference in my post, it isn't just this site, I have other sites I belong to as well. Not to mention social media, i.e., Facebook and Twitter. In general I have seen and heard some of the craziest stuff from people who say they are a Husker fan, and being the fan I am I began to wonder why. It's like one poster on here said, it wouldn't matter if we hired God as our HC and Jesus and his disciples as his staff, some people would still b!^@h and moan. I was really just stating my opinion, not lecturing, but I do have 2 teenage kids so maybe I'm starting to come off as a lecturer all the time now.

At any rate, thank you for your comments and for following this thread.

You're as entitled to be here as I am. The point I was trying to make is that it seems like all the Pelini haters seem to be showing up on boards they were never on during the season for the sole purpose of gloating...as if to say "Look at us....we bitched and moaned to Harvey and threatened to withhold our donations, probably hold our breathe too, if Pelini isn't fired." Also, and I'm not speaking about you, many of these great fans are apparently showing up just to mock and ridicule our former staff. That's all I meant by that.

 
I think it will settle down some as the staff gets hired here but lets face it folks. Its going to be a long time until the Cornhuskers suit up again and it will probably continue alittle bit after that. Especially if they drop a couple games in the beginning.
