    Excited about this guy. Yeah he should start early and put on some weight, but then again he's really similar to the slim reaper in body type, so maybe not too much.

    I swear to god, if we let him get stolen by iowa or creighton....again. grr

    I have a feeling we'll at least have a chance, with how good a recruiter Tim & Co seem to be

    Yeah I really couldn't fault the huskers for that loss. They were just on point as they always are, which unfortunately in a conference like the B10 is more common than not with a lot of our elite teams. Nice thing is, this kind of elite status seems to be fluid, with new teams entering every year. Only takes a great recruiting class or two, a good fan base (we have) and a bit of luck in the close games and you have a juggernaut in the conference. Big gain/reward in such a good conference. For example, you saw how meteoric the rises of mich a few years ago, Purdue, Iowa and Maryland were this year. It's totally possible for us, and I feel like the vibe us good here in lincoln. We're still shaking off demons of the past, but we've made a lot of progress down this road already.

    We had a thread similar to this one pop up last year around the Diamondhead Classic... so we're just about on schedule.

    Though unfortunately that's exactly what we said last year, to the the tune of "we'll make that run like last year in the next stretch of games", but it never really happened. I've seen flashes of brilliance from the team last year and even more this year, but not getting my hopes up. Love the optimism tho. That attitude is what our fan base needs to maintain.

    I believe I'll be adopting your strategy as well. Much better than my paralyzing pessimism approach towards this game. I'm tired of getting dramatically let down every year. :'(

    With this new POV, I'll come right out and say I HATE uncle Ralph(creighton). Love the underhanded slap in the face to creighton and their fans, we all know full well they don't deserve our respect...

    The scouting was so huge in this game.  CU had us pegged to a T and we looked like we had not watched a single minute of film on those guys.  One of three things is happening:

     

    1.  Miles and his staff are poor at scouting, or

    2.  Miles and his staff are poor at teaching the scouting report to the players, or

    3.  The players Miles recruited have such low BB IQs that they can't comprehend the scouting report.  

     

    Not sure which it is but none of them are a good.

    This is spot on. For example, Zierden knows exactly how to get open against Tai, to the point that Tai can't guard him.

     

    SURELY zierden isnt THAT good, is he? Or is he another one of those pasty iowa boys that always find a way to pummel us for career highs? #salty

    Or, 

    4. The players were too sand-blasted from lack of sleep studying for their "four finals" such as they mentioned shields is.

     

    From experience they tend to really pile it on in december and frankly I feel teams need to be experienced and solid to get through the month unscathed. Right now a guy I live with as well as multiple friends and my little brother are going out of their minds with college work and finals, papers etc. Idk how much they'd put on the athletes and its no excuse for poor play, but it's certainly something to keep in mind.

    Ok, so what's the problem? Is tim'so system not working, or like you said, was the pressure just too much? I don't want to put the guys down either and I'm sure it's not easy as I'm a student as well about to graduate. So of course I understand what they go thru day in and out to work hard. I just mean that in game it seems they give up or don't work together through hardship effectively...though in several games this year I've been very impressed with their effort; take for example the two Maryland games.

    Another thing that may have effected us besides the expectations was the charge rule change. The refereeing was sub par this year as we all know, though most of that may have been due to the rule changes themselves...we just don't get to the line as much as last year's, which gave us a lot of close wins, and I'm still not sure if that is a style of play problem, adjustment problem or simply the way it's being called now.

    Sorry if it seemed like I was disparaging the guys; but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't extremely disappointed in how they worked this season.
