Sorry to disagree, a0t0w0, but it's never fun (for me at least) to hate another team's player.  Painful to hate him.  Because the reason you hate him is that he drilled your team.  Caused you to lose in an especially horrifying fashion.  I'd rather feel how I felt after the Iowa game.  That Gesell kid is a nice player.  Someday he might be a pretty good player for them.  Y'know, patronizing.  I'd rather feel patronizing toward their players than hoping they get ruled academically ineligible or that they wind up with some "pay for tattoos" scandal so that we don't have to get killed by them anymore.

 

I meant it in a playful, almost jealous way.  Like "Garsh darn that Dekker!" I would never truly bash or get angry at ANY student athlete.  I respect each and every one for their ability to handle sports AND classes.

No, you got me wrong.  I hate 'em.  Truly I do.  But I don't enjoy hating 'em because it means that they've inflicted a loss (or several) on my team and I hate that part.  Makes me hate 'em all the more.  I'd much rather have the pompous, dismissive, sort of patronizing "he's a nice player" attitude towards the opposing teams.  Hating is not fun.  Hating sucks as a fan because it involves my team losing.  Because of the player I'm hating.  Like DJ Byrd.  Hate that guy.  Dekker?  Hate him too.  Wish to hell I could think of Dekker the way I think of the players from Tulane.  "Y'know, they tried hard.  Might make some noise in their conference."  That kind of thing.  But, instead, I have to hate Dekker.  And it ain't no fun.  That ... bahstahd.  I hope he forgets to take his finals and gets ruled academically ineligible for next season.   :angry:

“I thought we withstood their first punch,” NU assistant coach Chris Harriman said. “Then the second punch kind of knocked us out. We didn't respond well to that, then our offense affected our defense.


 

“As the misses kept piling up, defensively we got more lax.”


 

Any thoughts of a second-half comeback for Nebraska ended when the Huskers opened the period 1 of 18 from the field.
