What if the hail mary never happened?

[Jack_John_Mark]

Imagine if the miracle never played out exactly how we needed it to against Northwestern.....

Would we have even gone on the road and beat Michigan? We would probably be 5-5 right now if not for that play.

Think about that.........when the people in Lincoln evaluate whether or not to keep Bo, how can they look past the luck that has him sitting at only 3 losses up this current point? If we don't make the play of the year in College Football we may have finished with as many as 6 losses.....

If Bo keeps his job, it's basically because Eichorseman decided the hail mary was just that cool

 

[Red_Alert]

Same could be said about probably 4 games last season.

Heck, you could say that about Wyoming this season.

 

[blkflagmafia]

hail mary was a chance for Bo to get on a run to indy.

and after seeing mich vs Nwestern and how we played against msu it showed nothing has really changed.

If the hail mary never happen Bo would be done no question asked now he's hoping to win out and look good at 10-3 which to me isn't gonna cut it and looks deceiving .

The facts are Nebraska is barely squeaking by on a schedule that everyone thought would be easy this season. How many times was "No Wisconsin/No Ohio St" posted since January?

 

[corn train]

What happened to the soft schedule we supposedly had this year?

Why be such a hypocrite? You bitched at me for complaining about Bo a few weeks ago, yet how many of your posts have been anti Bo?

If we had a solid coaching staff, we would only have one loss tops at this stage. Another thing to think about... Most of the injury problems may be because of the way the players are trained.

If Nebraska ends up with 10 wins, I'll be totally shocked!

Not many....

I am one of the only ones who actually wants him back next season.

I was just creating a conversation. If the hail mary doesn't happen, what are Bo's chances? It's kinda crazy to think about.

Or being pushed too hard in practice?

Very possibly. That's a part of training also.

I want Bo to stay for RAs sake!

Also what if we had OSU and W's were on our schedule this year, instead of Purdue and Ill, where would be? If for no other reason than a weak schedule that Bo stays on another year it is a very sad set of circumstances. I'm fucking sick of waiting 9 months in between seasons and finding out somehow we were able to not do anything better but worse in fact. We can't recruit better if we don't win or get better coaches that can. They are available.

What if Kunalic kicks the ball in bounds giving UT a much
longer field to drive down? What if Suh doesn't run after McCoy, leaving him to stay in bounds looking for a receiver as the clock ticks to zero with no controversy? Thus catapulting us into relevance, putting us in a BCS bowl that we likely win?

What if Taylor Martinez doesn't throw the ball right into Travis Lewis's hands in the end-zone and we end up scoring and winning a second Big 12 title and vanquishing both major Big 12 powers? What if we end up in yet another BCS bowl game against an inferior opponent whom we thrash for every major recruit to see?

What if by doing that, our recruiting catches fire and every major recruit around the country suddenly thinks Nebraska is their dream school? What if because of that, we put together consecutive top 5 recruiting classes and begin to compete for national titles... IN THE BIG 12.

What if becaus we didn't move to the B1G and stayed in the Big 12, our spread killing defense and top 5 recruiting classes to match end up giving us multiple national titles and all the glory we ever imagined including heisman winners and churning out 1st rounders left and right?


Easy to play the "what if" game, JJM.

What if: "My aunt had balls?" She'd be my uncle.

LMAO @ what if's

First off, none of those things you stated above were a miracle....

Second off, all of those things are things that would have actually helped Bo's resume. I'm talking about a fucking hail mary here. It is mind-blowing to think that a ball was thrown, tipped, wrongly defended, and caught perfectly.....and it was thrown from the opposite 45 yard line......with 4 seconds left.......and it will likely save a guy's job.

I mean, this is HUGE. Those other things are small compared to this one pass. This one pass is the difference between a 7-3 record and a 5-5 record.

No way in hell Bo survives with a 5-5 record midway through November at the University of Nebraska. A 7-3 record on the other hand........
