trickey Posted October 31, 2015 Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 I never thought we would see losses to Illinois, Purdue and Northwestern in the same year! It appears we have a dumpster fire. But I don't see anybody coming to the rescue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not trying to diss you, but I've heard this argument from lots of ppl. First off, I hope you're right! However, he had his guys at OSU, and they were never great. Maybe our tradition gets us his recruits, but I'm not sold he will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HB Posted October 31, 2015 Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 A new Chancellor with a football background is imperative. Don't be shocked if Harvey's 6/30/16 gets moved up. Once this group swirls down the drain, we need to hire a competent AD, who hopefully will hire a football coach. Until that all happens, it will be brutal. Empty seats galore next week. We will be over a 20 point dog at home. And next year the sellout streak ends. Nice job Harvey, nice job Ginger.

The O-Line is a hot mess, though, and has been a big reason for the demise of the O. The secondary for the D has been a bit, uhhh-hmmm, inconsistent.

We have not really tried anything new on the O Line, and that surprises me. We have two guys that played C2/C1 and B football in Nebraska starting on the O Line and yet we do not at least TRY someone else? Baffling!

The fact that NU hasn't been able to get Jerald Foster ready to play is really hard to fathom. If he hadn't been a redshirt, I think he could have played last year. The lack of tackles in the program is a HUGE problem. There are 17 scholarship O-Line and most of them seem to be guards. Huh?!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huskerpapa Posted November 1, 2015 Report Share Posted November 1, 2015 We have a lot of walk-ons in our two deep depth chart. We have a great number of scholarship athletes who cannot sniff the field. That tells me we have had a sh**load of misses in our recruiting. Example...I can appreciate everything Ryker attempted to do today. But when you have two of our recruited QB's who cannot break the two deep, and a third who couldn't beat them out and transferred...well that seems to be a problem.

huskerbaseball13 Posted November 2, 2015 Report Share Posted November 2, 2015 There is going to be a pretty large roster churn in the offseason IMO. Riley needs to get guys on the field who will buy in....even if that means playing 24 guys who are underclassmen. hhcmatt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how badly this terrible record and fan uproar will effect their abilities to recruit but I think we will end up with a top 25 class. We shall see. Per Riley we received a recruit today......can you post we have not won in weeks and we may be lucky enough to win sometime soon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, 4.5 point dog Interesting....it could get ugly but Mich St also has shown they play to the level of their opponent. I think we can have some success throwing the ball if TA gets healthy but I'm fully expecting Cook to throw for close to 500 yards if he wants to.

Maybe a couple more 3-9 more seasons and you may be correct...but Riley won't last if that's the case and then the fans will come out in bunches for the new coach again.

Maybe a couple more 3-9 more seasons and you may be correct...but Riley won't last if that's the case and then the fans will come out in bunches for the new coach again. Not sure you're right about that. Never saw fans leave early in droves under the Bobfather or TO, for obvious reasons: We rarely lost at home; (and there were far fewer seats to be sat in.) Solich played a more mediocre brand of ball but we still had butts in the seats. When futility started raising its ugly head against T Tech and Okie State during year 4 of the Callahan regime, you saw people streaming out of Memorial Stadium like it was the HMS Titanic. It takes longer -- a more sustained period of time with enduring feelings of futility -- for people to stop coming back than to get them to leave. So, at the outset, people bail on a couple of Callahan losses but show up the next week for more punishment. Had Callahan continued another season with similar results as his last, we probably would have ended the streak then. But Pelini comes in and starts winning 9 games/year from the very get go. And so the barrel of enthusiasm fills up a little bit. Not as much as it was during the Osborne era, but it certainly recovers somewhat. The fans and their willingness to hang in there and support the team by their presence is strengthened by some success on the field. But it's still a bit tenuous compared to where it was 10, 15, 20 years ago. The enduring controversy over Pelini's job security didn't help strengthen fan support. And bringing in a somewhat-less-than-homerun-hire didn't rejuvenate fan enthusiasm the way Pelini winning 9 games his first season helped us with the post-Callahan hangover. So the fan support remains, but it's lost its endurance. And a season like the one we're having can certainly put that sellout crowd streak in jeopardy. I already know at least one major corporate sponsor that has notified the athletic director not to call them any longer to buy up available seats in order to keep the streak alive. If the fans don't start seeing glimmers of hope for the future, the streak is as good as over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverbacked1 Posted November 2, 2015 Report Share Posted November 2, 2015 You know I wouldn't have a problem with the streak to be over. Nobody cares about it but us anyway. I am sure most non husker fans could care less if we still sold out every game or not. It really is just us that worry about. Kind of like last year when some went in and knocked a chunk off the rock at Clemson. Nobody cared but them Just my $.02 worth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
