Riley Supporters Are Wrong

[VA Husker Fan]

Jesus this thread is terrible. The same people that want Riley fired are the same ones that bash the players and boo at the games. You're doing nothing but hurting the program and making yourself look like an a$$. It's a tough season so far, and luck hadn't been on your side like it has been in the past (see: 2012 season).

The truth is that the coaches aren't perfect and they're working with what they got. The players aren't perfect but they're fighting like hell to win. So get off your f'ing high horse and give them a chance.

sh#t like that article only sets the team back more and hurts the psyche of the players.

This.

Do a bit of venting if you need to. Point out some bad play calls, lack of execution, and penalties. And then stop. Bitching and moaning, moaning and bitching, and arguing with anyone who doesn't complain as much as you do and then bitching and moaning more does absolutely nothing productive or fun for anyone.

Seven is too long, but he should get at least four which is what Clownahan was given. I'm a Riley supporter. If I'm wrong, it wouldn't be the first time.

ADS, This captures exactly how I feel right now. In fact, it's such a good post it deserves more than one +1. So I'm going to go back and give four of your other, earlier posts +1s.

Just commenting about the bolded . . .

That is wrong. The people DEFENDING Riley are the ones that are bashing the players in some ill-fated attempt to make excuses for him.

Carry on . . .

The players aren't perfect, but we support them and root for them to do better.

The coaches aren't perfect, but we support them and root for them to do better.

In neither case are they doing terrible, but they don't have the W's to show for it -- and we know we're all hurting because it's been so close.

This is about exactly what ADS said.

Are the doubters some of the ones bashing the players? Maybe. There's probably some of that on both sides. One thing is for sure, it's only from one side that you see fans badmouthing coaches in earshot of visiting recruits, or expressing hope that recruits or players leave for elsewhere for their sake.

And the Riley backers are telling those same recruits to come here because our current players suck, within earshot of our current players.

Are current players < prospective recruits?

ADS isn't wrong. There is no one here blindly defending Riley. Some people here can understand a year of transition and will reserve making toxic comments until next year or the year after.

Some choose to be toxic all the time no matter what.

why does there have to be 2 sides? can't we all cheer and support the huskers without trying to tear down the coaches/players/recruits/administration/trainers/hot dog vendors/etc....

Not really, I think everyone should be given a fair shot but should not be crowned starter when they walk on campus. Young players in three years should be able to grasp the system and run it well. This is a typical transition year, although it hasn't gone perfectly it is going to take some time to get us back to where we all want to be.

So no our current players are not bad they just don't have the system down completely.

Hey mods...we NEED a thumbs down button. Need it! Come on give it to us. Do it.

Hell of a strawman. But it's the strawman you need right now.

Haha!

I've actually thought about something like that, but it's probably a bad idea. There's enough chippiness as there is. The last thing we want to throw into the fray is a +1/-1 competition and one more thing for us to all fight over.

Dude, come on. Every other thread is trying to show bare the cupboard is and how bad the current players are.
