Bo's Signing Day Presser

[bigred472]

So your 6 are Iowa, Fresno, Miami, MSU, Northwestern, and Wisconsin? I never said it is not possible to lose 5. However, that's not what you said. You said we should not be surprised if we lose 5. There's a difference between being realistic and just being negative for the sake of being negative. I'm pretty sure if we lost 5 of those games it would come as a pretty big shock to everyone, both in Nebraska and nationally.

I guess I should consider the source...You are probably surprised that "Mad Dog Bo" hasn't gotten busted killing puppies or small children yet.

-------
You're arguing semantics. And quite frankly I'd throw in McNeese State as well. Don't know if they return many starters or not BUT they won 10 games last year and porbably won't be a pushover next year either. Our whole problem other than a lack of schooling from the coaching stafff is that we have lacked consistancy. IF and it's a big if we could pull off an 8 game winning streak, we'd probably shake alot of our problems BUT that hasn't happened yet (and probably won't under Bo).

We need revamping but Els has little to do with it, if you can't tell that then you're a moron. The problem is with the fact that we call punt-safe way too much and that for some reason involves not blocking anyone... pretty sure that's Bo's call.

That's all fine and good but why?

No way you should throw McNeese St in there. Take a look at their schedule last year. They played no one.

If you're going to call me a moron you dumb shit, you may want to call quite a few other posters here that same name because I'm not the only one that blamed our special teams coach. I never did mention his name though.

Also, I did notice that our punt coverage, punting, FG kicking, and extra point kicking has been good, and our punt return game has been bad. Again, I'm the only one you have bashed for mentioning our special teams coach. If you're just going to get on MY ass only for what numerous other posters have said, then you can bite me!

You're the first one I saw, but if other people are doing the same thing they need the same reality check. The special teams woes are on Bo... Els has some to do with it but people shouldn't fool themselves into thinking our Punt Return will get better just because Els is gone. Until Bo actually starts taking some risks in the PR game and letting them play it will stay the same.

Don't argue one bit about the arm BUT seeing who is open is more important IMO. Looking at the whole of your receivers IMO. Keeping cool under presuure with your passing game is more important IMO. TA may be able to thow the ball 70 yards but his YPG doesn't cut it, his completion % doesn't cut it, and this TD to ints doesn't cut it. Yes, I know he's a relative rookie, BUT that's a lot of crap he has to straighten out. I hope Bo throws open the competition for the starter because I just am not completely sold on TA.
When TO threw Frazier to the wolves, I saw fewer problems than with TA.

What planet are you from?

Tommy Frazier completed like 46% of his passes over his career.......and the only time he threw the ball was on a rare play action to a wide open Tight End.

Tommy Frazier is my favorite player of any sport of all time, but he fucking SUCKED at throwing the football.

Tommie Frazier lost to (2-5)(4-7) Iowa St. in his 4th start where NU scored just 10 points.
Tommie was a 'True' Freshman tho.

I have been critical of TA's passing since I first saw his HS film. He tends to get too much air under the ball.

However, it's too early to pass judgment on him IMO. Frazier wasn't a great passer either (or Frost, Crouch, etc). I do think TA brings similar gamer attributes to the table that Frazier did.

Maybe punt return game film isn't available?

Alll I learnt was that you can't hold the Special Teams Coordinator (Els) himself accountable.

Thank you sir.

Since when is being realistic the same as being negative? I just stated that no one should be surprised if Nebraska loses 5 games before the bowl game... http://www.sportshoopla.com/forums/4497375-post65.html

Five games is just one more than 4 games, which was very close to happening last season. Remember the extremely fortunate hail mary play? In fact every season Bo has been here, we've been close to seeing 5 losses, so going by his coaching history, I'm not being unrealistic by adding one extra loss in a season.


You're the one who is being unrealistic and pouty also by assuming I would b surprised about Bo not getting busted for a crime.

By the way bonehead, I haven't been using the term Mad Dog Bo lately, but if you keep up the bullshit I will start doing so again.

As inconsistent as Frazier was in the passing game and him being a freshman, he still couldn't be blamed for that loss. Osborne and most of his staff were out recruiting and really overlooked ISU, which was a huge mistake! Nebraska wasn't mentally or physically ready to play them on that day. ISU manhandled Nebraska that day. That was one of the very few Pelini like prepared Nebraska teams under Osborne.

-------
I know what you're saying but let's take a look at the Wyoming game of last year. And yes, I'm aware that Wyoming is in a different Div. than McNeese. Nebraska was healthy, it was our first game of the year, and we barely beat them (and they ended up 5-7 for the year). Although McNeese is our second game, and not knowing how many people they return off of last year's team, there is the potential for them to give us alot of trouble--sort of like Bohl's NDSU teams used to do with Div. 1 teams.

Difference being TF could suck at passing because of our profinciency at the triple option. TA has no real understanding of the triple option (plus we aren't really equipped man wise to run it) and he HAS to be a passer and his stats stunk up the place.

 

[blkflagmafia]

Right and at the beginning of the year everyone was "healthy" o-line qb wrs then the injurys happen to all of those units and the wheels fell off in minnesota. But the team that was put together with gum and duct tape found a way to win 9 games. Or lose 4 games if you are a glass half empty kind of person.

I believe Nebraska with the schedule and talent should win no less than 10. we have talent we don't have the Bama star everywhere talent but with the conference and schedule we have and going forward 10 wins no less.

My beef is we have enough talent to win 10-11 games and yet we find every excuse to give when we don't. we have enough it's not sec deep at every position but damn let's stop with the excuses and make people fear neb again. or at lest get some respect in the conference.

I am really excited to see what coach Warren brings

I assume he brings his furniture en sech.

I mean, to be honest though our recruiting classes are ranked by many as 4th, 5th, 6th in the Conference.....

One would have to imagine only 1 or 2 teams are gonna end up with 11 wins in the Conference at best.

I see our talent as par for the course pretty much.....maybe a little above average in places. I think some players have developed into very good players for us......but that says more about work ethic and coaching probably than anything else.

 

[Jack_John_Mark]

I think it's easy for us to get biased about our skill players because those are the guys we see on a weekly basis making plays for us......but it happens on every team en sech
