Bo and Paps

[HUSKER FREAK]

I hope so.  

Cue the Pelini haters! " its an embarrassment for our coach to act like that",

" he is mean", blah blah blah.

What was funny though about that situation was they tried to pass the ball quickly to the flats where we had one defender on the whole field in position to make a play and did, but we still had 12 on the field so I guess it didn't matterYou know what's embarrassing?  Not having a defense on the field that's what.  I mean, literally not having a defense on the field.

I seemed like Pap wasn't shy to yell right back.

The Pap-Bell exchange was funnier.

 

[sd'sker]

We had a defense on the field. Actually we had twelve on defense on the field often.

that is just good coaching. you want an advantage, what is easier than putting one more player on the field? very aggressive and forward-thinking, imo.

Yeah, what was that about?

I think Bell was trying to defuse the situation.

I think Bell was trying to defuse the situation.

and pap was not having it. his feelings were too hurt by then.

the poor players are like kids whose parents are going through a divorce.

Ha ha! Like Buddy Ryan's Polish Goal-line defense. It was a called play, putting 12 men on D.

Some people think they're fighting, but I think they're finally talking. If you read their lips it looks like they're saying ,"SHOW ME THE MONEY!!"

Well, if Bell plans on going Pro he may want to get used to it. Not, that I want this kind of thing constantly happening on the NU sideline.

i think bell can handle it just fine. he seems very mature. i just do not think that type of in-fighting is conducive to on-field team confidence. this is still college and i would imagine they have different relationships with their coaches than the pros.

Yeah, Kenny looked sad after his shenanigans weren't well-received.

And here I thought tone might change a little holding a good offense to less than half their usual point production.

i think this tone is just because we know the potential is there, but these fixable mistakes are holding us back.

I agree with sdsker. And feel the need to add that I really doubt this was a good offense. Sheelhaase looked pathetic and their mediocre running game gashed us big. I could be wrong but it seemed they were more their own worst enemy than we were. Maybe I'll change my tune on rewatch but I was not even slightly impressed with their offensive capability.

Ridiculous. This was a team that people were afraid of because they hung around with Washington. But now that we beat them and beat them pretty good, they all of a sudden suck? Absurd.

I know, right

We beat Illinois, of course they suck. And if we beat Alabama, they would suck, too.

i was happy with the defense, but do not fool yourself. illinois put up a lot of big numbers against bad teams. i think it is reasonable to doubt how good illinois is. i mean, before the season we thought this was a gimme. perceptions change fast and there is not much of a sample size to see the type of offense illinois has (or the improvementour defense has made).

frankly, i doubt illinois makes a bowl game.

It was nothing, Bell bumped pap and pap taped bell back in the chest. nothing to see. it's just people wanting to make something out of nothing.
