Every time Nebraska loses I get to hear this lie. "Oh well... It's just a game." If you say this following a Nebraska loss then there are only a handful of reasons you are saying it. Denial, Mental Illness, Lack of true Husker born and bred passion, or finally your priorities are out of whack.
Friend, it IS just a game, and this is a huge problem with you and many others in the fan base. You can care without letting it ruin your day, you can care without letting affect your attitude, you can care while being rational.
It's all about attitude. I'm with many of you - I feel that Pelini hasn't hit the level many of us expected him to hit. The talent at key positions - underwhelming, the focus level during adversity - pathetic, the assistant coaching hires - questionable, albeit not terrible. However, there's a time and place for everything, and people should logically formulate their opinions rather than make rash predictions and statements without thinking things through.
And this isn't about passion or apathy. There are several posters on here who care just as much, if not more, about the Huskers than you. But instead of ranting, they construct well thought out responses to yesterday's game and people have reasoned discussions. That's what we need. We don't need "fire bo!" or any of that other nonsense - not yet, at least.
I love the Huskers, and I always will. But with this being my last year of college, a life to plan, jobs to apply for, and the multitude of other things I have to worry about on a daily basis, the Huskers have become less important. They still matter and I still care, but there are other things in life mate. You can care without being careless.
