What if the hail mary never happened?

[corn train]

I don't know that our BMD's have the Hail Mary set as the fulcrum for any possible decision with the future of the HC. However that doesn't take away any bad ass from the play itself

 

[Brasky]

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........

You can't be serious. If we beat Texas, we are still in the Big 12 and are likely a much better football team than we are right now.

That is by definition HUGE.

I don't think that game against Texas is what actually sent us packing....

Talks about getting away from Team Texas were going on years before that game. That game may have been the nail in the coffin, but it definitely wasn't where the story was made

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.

Good point here corn! There's a 100% chance Nebraska would be 5-5 so far if OSU and WISCY were on Nebraska's schedule this year.

What if the 5 turnovers never happened? Just like turnovers is a problem for this regime, miracle finishes have become the norm for them as well.

 

[bigred472]

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

-------
Any HC that has any brains would knwo when to bakc off with "training" if it becomes detrimental to the health and well being of the players. This is after all not the military.

Sarcasm font mf'er

Use It!!!!

-------
If I am going to be sarcastic, everyone here will know until them exactly which one is the sarcasm font?

 

[bigred472]

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.

--------
And we wouldn't be playing the what if game if we had a coaching stff that didn't create so many what ifs.

-------
True except few if nay of the miracle finishes were against ranked teams. OUR miracle finishes always seem to come with teams we should have been pounding on anyway like NW this year.

I figured you were being sarcatic when you said "they were being pushed too hard in practice" considering that topic's been a source of criticism with the fumbles. i.e. Not enough contact in practice.

The "Sarcasm font mf'er. Use it" is an old joke. Don't take it personally.

Generally if you use Italics it's understood as sarcasm tho.

This is it.

I want to see solid fundamentals. I do not want to be relieved because we can actually fair catch a punt without fumbling. That shit is unacceptable.

This is true, but I don't remember who, {either Glassford or Jennings in the 50s} was known to over train and then come game time, the players were too worn out to perform at their highest level.

Speaking of Bill Glassford, he's still alive and he's 99.5 years old! Wow!...Bill Glassford - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Very good points here.

Boy I'll say! You said a mouthful here!

What if the hail mary never happened?


then that idiot that receives punts would still be an idiot ---that is all


LOL@**** staches

 

[Exorbitant]

No, I'm not into grade school talk, nor am I into immoral sexual acts.

 

[popeyecv64]

bottom line is this


Hail yea !!!

 

[Exorbitant]

Got them glory holes on your mind, huh?

Back to grade school?
