I'm waiting until the end of the year

Start off this game f'in sucked. It's crapping our pants again on a big stage again. It's letting ref calls affect the game (though there were a couple of pretty bad roughing the passer penalties). It's turtling once we get up big and letting the team back in the game. It's a lot of different things that makes Nebraska under Pelini absolutely frustrating to watch.

But, this is absolutely not the end of the season. There is a lot of time and a lot of games until we face another team with a semblance of a pulse (Northwestern). A lot of things can happen between now and the first week of November. Pelini should be on a very short leash the rest of the year. IF there is another game like today, something needs to change.

I'm not giving up on this year because a lot of our goals can still be accomplished. This game does not affect our ability to do anything in the Big 10 and getting back to Indy.

I'm waiting to see how the rest of the season plays out.

 
While I agree with what you've said, getting to the BIG championship again...getting grossly outcoached...and enduring another nationally televised embarrassment just might be more than I can take.

A lot of it is gut reactions. We absolutely did terrible today, but we are not going to see a team even close to UCLA until Northwestern. Crap absolutely needs to be cleaned up, but we had a play where things didn't go our way when they should have and things snowballed, again. I'll take the entirety of the 2013 season before I'd make a decision, unless the team has another game like this.

I will be shocked if we make that game. Hell, I'll be shocked if we finish above third in our division. Right now I'm not sure we can beat anyone other than Iowa and Minnesota. Even those two will prob be nail biters.,ill be at the Purdue game, so hopefully that is a win.

 
I hope we don't make it to the B1G ccg at this point, Ohio State will absolutely destroy us and I've had enough of the national beat downs..................its become the norm in the past few years and that's terrible to say the least.

it doesn't take a team as good as ucla to make Nebraska look bad depending on how the Illini play against Washington today that game might be scary

You hit the nail on the head without even meaning to.....................this team has shown in the past few years it can't figure out the mental part of the game and when they get punched in the mouth they back down. Hell, the players even said that when the barely beat Wyoming from crying out loud. That's scary at best and to see that type of mentality continue to fester in this program sends up red flags the size of Memorial Stadium. This won't sit well in Lincoln, heads will roll, I'll guarantee you the phone's ringing off the hook from the boosters right now.

BS. People are upset because this isn't a one time deal. This is a recurring problem that hasn't been fixed.

If this were a one time deal then people could accept it, as terrible as it was.

 
What, exactly, in the 3 games makes you think this team is going to turn a corner? The only team we kept under 500 yards, is on a 16 game losing streak.

 
I don't care what talk comes out of that locker room about conversations had behind closed doors, I ain't buying what they're selling. The coaches can say, "We had a good practice this week, seen some progress and I think it'll show up on the field." I'm not listening to it. I still love my Huskers and I'll watch them every Saturday, but until I see a huge change on the field I'm not getting my hopes up. 4 to 5 losses is possible after what I've seen today.

 
We're in exactly the same place after UCLA 2013 as we were after UCLA 2012. We went to the CCG in 2012, and there's no reason to think we can't get there this year.

We just have a LOT of work to do. Can we do it two years in a row? I don't know.
