Can we say something positive?

I get it. None of us like to see the team lose, including myself. It just seems to be that some people try to live vicariously through these kids. I'm am pretty sure that these kids are competitive and hate to lose as well. But for some reason, I seems that some of the posters here, take a loss harder than the team. I fail to believe that they are not upset for their showing in Madison on Saturday night. Some people seem to, for a lack of better terms, act like grade school kids and throw rocks at the "not-so-popular" kids that are across the street. I just think that we need to stand behind the team rather than break them down. Maybe it is the father in me that just can't understand why "we" as the fans, sit behind the computer screen and "throw rocks". Yes we can criticize, but couldn't we keep it from being personal? Remember that these are just "kids" and I'm sure that they are doing the best they can.

So I'll start out and say something positive and hopefully we can at least knock some of the negative threads off the first page.

I'll say something about Martinez since he seems to be getting the most flak. He started the game 6/8 I believe. So that should tell us that the potential is there. Yes it needs polished, and yes it like won't ever be "great". However, I do believe that he can be good and lead the team to win a lot of games.

This is just my two cents

i agree, one game does not make a season.....let's see if Beck can get him straightened out.

 
After the game my stepdad came over and gave me the hat i gave him in 1984. Full on says Nebraska Cornhuskers and it even has herbie on the side. That was way positive.

Positives, umm.......

The Dline actually looked decent for most of the game, the fact that Wilson is a freak athlete and escaped them on some plays is an element that NU will see only once more(ie Dennard Robinson). The fact they were on the field for 35+minutes will show throught out the game.

The OLine(as mentioned) played better than I had expected.

Abdullah and Turner, enough said.

Brandon Kinnie caught a tough ball

Bo was given every chance to be caught by an ESPN camera to go ape, and remained calm(for the most part)

The Heisman House commercial was hilarious

That is about all I got

This.

He caught a few balls the other night, and I don't remember any drops that he had. We were very hard on him at the start of the season so he deserves to be mentioned now. Just mentioned, not praised as he is just meeting his expectations not exceeding them, but hey not many thought he'd even do that three weeks ago.

Yeah I would not want to be Ohio State this weekend. Those Husker defenders are going to take out all of their pent-up frustration from the Wisconsin game on those poor Buckeyes....and Memorial Stadium is going to love every second of it.
