The Tangent/Derailment Thread: 2015

Why even move or salvage these posts? As soon as you remove them from the original discussion they are as useless as tits on a boar. Might as well just delete them. Or better yet, lock up the stupid f'ing threads that precipitate the understandable backlash.

Because we need another thread for a few posters to continue throwing their Riley isn't good enough hissy fit...

He talked to an ex OSU player....right. I call bullsh#t.

Ex players are out there. They even talk to people sometimes.

Dont know if the story is true, but it's plausible.

 
For the posts, my view is once they're in here, people who are really interested in continuing that conversation can do so if they like. If they find it hard to follow now, well, that's a darned shame...

We don't usually delete posts, we just put them in the locked "Offending Posts" thread in the Woodshed. These could have been, I guess. There were so many, and I didn't want everyone to feel like they were being told they broke rules.

As for the thread, outside of these 70% of its posts or so, it was started with a civil tone and there were civil responses. Given that, a lock seemed harsh, but it was another option. My preference is to just get the point across that look, you can dislike someone's opinion, but don't turn a thread into a s###-show because of it.

Agree to disagree on the usefulness of boar teat.

Actually zoogs, I do understand, deep down somewhere I understand. I am just soooo friggin tired of a dozen posters constantly inventing a new way (or thread) to once again get their point across that Riley is not and was never good enough. We get it. I just wish they would STFU about it. And I know it may cost me some suspension time or a ban but I really don't care anymore. I'll try to keep it on this side of civil but the dipsh#ts are testing me.
 
Riley has at least two more seasons left to prove he can right the ship. I can't feel 100% either way about his coaching until at least November. He did come from a pass happy league in the Pac 12, where defense really doesn't matter. I think he can turn things around, but only if the players will buy into what he is offering.

Several things can improve yet. I don't know if they can get worse, so they have to be able to improve right ?

Who cares what a former player has to offer. Most former players of any coach will either love the guy or hate them, but most will play there entire carreer for that same coach.

DPE might be the key addition for passing and if Stephenson plays at RB, thing could get interesting in a hurry.

It doesn't matter because Riley is the coach. We can be supportive or we can be crybabies.

It's not an either/or proposition. I can show you lots of hardcore Sub500 sunshine pumpers who turn in to crybabies when faced wth legitimate criticism of Sub500.

 
Boo-hoo

Actually, most of the crying is now being done the Riley supporters. GBRedneck has probably been laughing his @ss off these last couple weeks.

Me, I would have to say a record of 2-4 makes this forum a lot more lively than it would be at 4-2. That's about all I have invested in this debate.

That being said, Pelini got seven years, so Riley deserves seven years. Let the chips fall where they may.

Will you still say seven years if it's like this after year 3?

 
I'd like to see 74Hunter's opinion on these numbers. I mean I can only imagine, and I think he's probably a pretty nice guy. Just emotionally attached to the results more than some are...rather than looking at the big picture.

I mean this is a GINORMOUS piece of the picture being painted on the season.

i dont think 74 is much of a thinker. Same with TheSker. They have their opinions engraved. Not that its bad. It just is what it is. They wont allow their prideful opinions to be swayed by thinking outside the box.
 
We have the talent right now on this current Husker team to beat the teams we have played.

But we've been Rileyd.

Didn't Eichorst say in the press conference firing Pelini that we had the talent?

I think he may have mentioned Iowa also.......
