Had a bad run in the afternoon here too. Missed 7 of 8 also. Ended up 13-7.

I wonder if @jedburks survived last night.

He may have had to blow a dad on Friday night to get that upset over a #7 team.

There isn't a fan out there that I'm happier for than he today.

He's taken a ton of shit this year and definitely deserves some validation.

To be fair, if Nebraska has bad seasons going forward, upsetting a Top 10 team on occasion isn't going to cut it with the fan-base. There needs to be consistent 9 win minimum seasons while being competitive with the Top teams as well.

Bopleeny (with 9 and 10 win seasons) would still be here (douchebag and all) had he been competitive in big games.

Oh I know...he's been preaching patience with Year 1 though for a long time.

Over the airwaves, yes. He's been quiet as a church-mouse around here. Not everyone that posts here gets to tune into to 1620.

Being a stats guy myself, his contributions for past 5+ years here kept things interesting. The forum gets boring without it. Only @HuskerinBig10 rivals in content.

Maybe @jedburks only posts stats when bloviating, narcissistic, douche-nozzle's carry the title Head Coach?

Come to think about it, he's a big Solich fan.

We differ in that I don't think Solich was a guy that could get Nebraska back to elite, however I'll be the 1st to say Frankie didn't exhibit those deplorable traits listed above. He is humble and 'nice' to the media and fans.
He carried that on to Ohio U.

I am not going to be like the Riley bashing losers that say they have been proven right after only a handful of games in year 1. It takes time. I have had confidence in this staff and this year has sucked but again, it takes time. I am not looking for validation on anything. Just want Nebraska to win as many games as possible every year no matter who the coach is. Even with the last moron. I never wanted the guy from the beginning, never called for his firing, and I wanted to be completely wrong about him. Unfortunately I wasn't. That is the difference between myself and these Riley bashing losers. They want to be right.

There are many many reasons I don't post here much any more. The past coach no longer being here is not one of them.

Let us know what the strategy is, we can do the opposite and see which way is best.

 

[HuskerPower52]

I am going to start in the middle then pick the game up from the middle, then go to the one below the middle, kinda yo-yo it.
