Screw you complainers

[Dagerow]

Not reading this whole mess of a thread, so apologies if this has already been covered.... but to 74Hunter and teacherCD and whoever else is sprouting this nonsense of Riley being a worse coach than Pelini:

Let's talk Tommy Armstrong. This coaching staff has done more to develop a competent QB in a few months than Bo's coaching staffs did in 7 years. That guy does not even look like the same player out there from 2014 to 2015. Seriously. Let's ride this thing out for a year or two, then we can see where we are. So far Armstrong is competent and NOT a turnover machine, and that's a substantial improvement on any QB Bo had (not named Joey Ganz, a fifth-year senior who came pre-coached). That's enough for me to look at this year in a positive mindset.

Not to mention improved tackling on the other side of the ball.

And recognizing in less than two games that you have to stop the run to win this conference, and implementing a system to do just that.

And...somehow more of our WR have learned how to run routs and catch balls.

And . . . people selectively mentioning only things they see as positive developments. Ignoring anything that looks bad or blaming Bo for those (as he was somehow the cause of only bad things).

Have I got this thread right?

My moms Lemmon pie.

 

[2ndNnine]

Steak and kidney pie

 

[GSG]

I could really go for some shepherd's pie right now, because I'm a meat and potato kind of guy. Then, some of my gradma's home made pecan pie. She makes it with the pecans that grow in her back yard. So delicious.

Will you give it a rest already? Both sides are selectively choosing whatever evidence they can find to support their favored coach. All this arguing is not only pointless, but further dividing the fanbase and distracting us from simply enjoying a damn football game.

Yes, not everything was bad under Bo. Yes, 'anyone could win 9 games at Nebraska' was used to discredit Bo. We get it! And rehashing this argument over and over is not going to undo his audio tapes, his poor behavior, 408, nor is it going to give him his job back. He's gone. And if you want to keep him as 'your' coach, Youngstown State is apparently a pretty competitive team in the FCS level, and you can go make your own echo chamber there about how awesome your coach is. But seriously, at this point, you're making yourself unwelcome here.

As to the other side of the argument, consider this: Mike Riley and staff are not perfect. They won't fix everything in th first month, or even the first year. It may take 2 or 3 for them to even get to the CCG. There are a number of issues with both the offense and the defense that we, as fans, have every right to point out and criticize. I personally don't like the current secondary play, I feel there still needs to be some improvement in the running game, and I'm still not sold on Riley and staff being able to win us championships, mostly because of thir previous record. Yes, Nebraska is miles ahead of where Oregon State is in terms of talent, facilities, brand recognition, support from the university, and on and on, but that doesn't mean that this staff will succeed. I hopened they do, and I hope it comes quickly. Though, even with a two game sample size, I see a tendency to address and improve problem areas, and I like that. But we could be in for a 7-5 season, or possibly worse if Illinois and Northwestern have improved as much as the talking heads are saying they have. I have hope, but I've tempered my expectations.

Tl;dr, Bo is gone, get over it or leave. Mike Riley isn't perfect and has had a poor record for most of his career.

Hope for the best, prepare for the worst, and for God's sake, quit arguing over the past!

I'm not selectively mentioning positive things and ignoring the bad. I have said on this board a number of times that I hope our DBs play better and after the first game, i was concerned about our running game.

Now, can we please get back to talking about pie? Personally, I know a few people who don't like pie. Those people need psychological help.

I mentioned my mom's lemon pie earlier. But, it's hard to beat warm apple pie with vanilla and cinnamon ice cream. There used to be an apple orchard by Norwalk Iowa that would serve that and I wanted to founder on that every year.

Yeah, I love Lemon Meringue pie, only in small doses though. Too much of that overpowers me, too rich. Hot apple pie with vanilla and cinammon ice cream....damn my mouth is watering. Thats unbeatable too.

So I now have:

Pumpkin

Sweet Potato

Apple Pie

(all with Ice cream on top)

Rhubarb

Lemon Meringue

Cherry Cheesecake

And does Apple Crisp qualify as a pie or what the hell do you call that?

I've got a hell of a list going. There's probably not a pie I don't like, but the more rich ones like Blueberry or Cherry, I can only eat a slice at a time. I've got a sweet tooth but it doesn't take too much of that sweet stuff to get my fill.

 

[Saunders]

Oh crap, totally forgot to mention Key Lime pie. We had some last time we were in Key West and it was soooo good.

 

[BigRedBuster]

I don't expect anyone to understand this because I'm sure you have never had it. My mother used to make a sour cream raisin pie that absolutely was orgasmic. Now, if you don't like sour cream raisin pie, what you have had, isn't my moms. Her's was completely different than anyone else's I have ever seen or tasted. It was from a very old recipe from her mother when her parents milked cows. She would sour her own cream to have real sour cream. Then, the pie wouldn't be one of these crappy raisin pies with a meringue. It had two crusts and the top crust would be really crispy and flaky. Yes...home made crust.

What's sad is she doesn't make it anymore because she has to get the cream directly from a dairy so that it isn't ruined by being processed. There aren't any more dairies in our area.

It might just be one of those things that are unfortunately lost in time.

 

[TAKODA]

Lemon Cream, Banana Cream, Chocolate Cream, Cherry, Pumpkin, Raisin Cream but I saved the best for last, "Peach Pie" with cinnamon and sugar crust.

Non, nom, nom, nom, nom!

Love apple crisp. Getting a lot of apples this year, so may be having some all winter. Probably apple pie, too. Also like pumpkin pie and my mom's chocolate pie.

I don't know why but that sounds awesome. Never had sour cream raisin pie before. She needs to find a smaller farm that has their own milk cow and see if she can get cream directly from them.

.....and then you could post the recipe....just sayin, don't leave us drooling here.

 

[Guy Chamberlin]

Sour Cream Raisin was my dad's favorite. Although he made his share of pies he didn't make this one, but ate it every time he saw it on a menu.

For some reason I don't recall ever having a bite myself, because I thought raisins always ruined a good party.

Key Lime Pie rocks.

My grandma made a chocolate pie that we loved because it was made of chocolate. I think she melted marshmallows on top.

Peach pie is only as good as the peaches used, but yeah.

Rhubarb and Strawberry Rhubarb, absolutely.

Blackberry is better than any of the other berries.

Apple pie is certainly better than nothing, but not better than the pies above.

Can't go wrong with Pumpkin.

I don't want to divide Husker Nation and this could get ugly but......is it possible that a good Crisp or Crumble is better than the pie you'd make with the same stuff?

I think there's a significant gap between worrying about our defensive secondary, offensive play-mix, still evolving schemes and the challenges ahead in this young season, and cherry-picking evidence that the Riley hire was a mistake two games into the season.

And ignoring evidence of improvement, perhaps directly related to coaching styles, seems like a joyless exercise for fans of a college football team.

I'm not really worried that Mike Riley isn't being criticized enough.
