--------wouldn't be surprised if we lose
psu has nothing to lose
we have nothing to play for
outback or bdub bowl that a loss coming
Unless they fight to go 10-3 to keep bo

blackflag and I used to butt heads on occassion on the old CBS boards. I'm sure he thought some of my posts were "out there" as I did his. But the above highlighted I completely agree with. What are we playing for? Pride? Been there done that for five years now. If we lose, and I'm not hoping we do but if we lose maybe that will show that the team has stopped drinking the Pelini Kool-aide.
These kids deserve to be playing for more than just pride, but your comments are correct.
-------Yes. PRIDE. Maybe you and some others "don't have anything" to watch the remaining games for, but to insinuate there is nothing left for these division 1 elite athletes to play for simply because the preseason goals set cannot be achieved is absolutely ridiculous and asinine. These kids have pride in their team, in their school and in their own abilities. They sweat and bleed all year for that team. They are friends. They are a "Family." "You play for me and I'll play for you." All of the cliches that sound corny to someone who hasn't had the privilege of playing the game at the level they play.
Been there done that for five years? You have not invested anywhere near what the players have in this team and program. These guys will show up and play their asses off. For themselves. For their team mates and for their coach.
Call me a Bo supporter or what ever you want. I am speaking for those who step on the field and strap it up for the University of Nebraska.

Must have hit a nerve. I never said I didn't want them to win, nor did I say the team was going to fall down and play dead, but rather suggested that if by chance they lost especially if they lost big time, it could very well be because of no longer drinking the Bo Kool-aide. And whether you choose to believe that as a possibility or not is up to you. Pride and motivation are two different things. If they have given up on B,o they aren't going to be motivated.

Maybe a little. "Nothing to play for" is an insult to those who put in the sweat equity.
dear lord this is Nebraska right ??
not some upstart team from a c - USA or acc or sunbelt
our goal is never to reach a bowl game because that should be a given esp with our schedule
national title goal gone conference champ gsme gone. bowl either Tempe or fla for outback which could be losses. so yeah outside of playing for whatever they feel like most main important goals are gone.
This moment they are playing for the love of the game bo or maybe pro life.
If it struck a nerve sucks pick up the Kool aid of the floor clean up the broken glass
I stand by my previous assessment of you.
hold up while I find my fuck I give....
Every time you post something you prove my theory correct.
