So… Where do we go from here?

[herbsinator]

You don't have to believe it if you don't want to.

But the reality is the likelihood of scoring goes up the more possessions you get

We’ve had barely any takeaways this season. Giving your offense a short field undeniably gives you more scoring opportunities.

John Bullock. He's going to put Ceyair Wright into the NFL. Emmett, Jacory, Hunter will all be NFL players. You're not making a good argument at all.

Bullock was undrafted and has 2 tackles on the year. The other 4 are likely day 3/UFA guys as well, if that’s what you’re hanging your hat on as development then I’m not surprised you’re good with 19–17.

You are sounding suspiciously like a candidate for the AI tater bin.

You’re either blind or dumb if you think Hunter is a day 3 guy. Ceyair wright could very well be a round 2 or 3 guy depending on his testing.

Elijah Pritchett will also be drafted in the upper half after next season.

Like it’s been stated already, all of Rhules recruits are sophomores and freshman. Not sure what you expect in terms of him turning guys who aren’t eligible for the draft yet to be drafted.

There's three types of people he could be.

Just an overall miserable person that likes to bitch about everything. Unhappy with life for real or imagined issues. Complaining makes them feel more complete.

An Cockeye/Colorado/K St troll is very much believable.

He could also just be a miserable fan like @Gman1228. @slattimer insists G isn't a miserable person so I'll take his word for it. The type of person that complained about the team in the 90s because we only won by 2 scores. Generally though those people only show up to complain when things go badly. Kong is around all the time.

I'd lean fan of another team/Nebraska hater with miserable overall personality the next most likely.

Whoa, catching strays here from @Jim14510 My issue is that I grew up associating Nebraska football with greatness. Those thoughts of greatness dance around my head and taunt me and I can't give up those hopes and dreams but reality slaps me in the face every Saturday watching our slap dick program.

I mean really people, we are ok with the standard that is Nebraska football? I guess I just think we should be achieving way more as a program and I am tired of being absolute dogshit for a decade now.

Ask @slattimer about his thoughts on the team and staff, news flash, he thinks they stink. He is just much more articulate about it and he is a brilliant football mind. I work in finance but doesn't mean I can't see that our football team and staff continuously shit the bed year after year but we all keep lying to ourselves that next year will be better.

I mean are we really ok that Cockeye is about to beat our brains in again for the 6th straight time at Memorial Stadium in year 3 of Matt Rhule? I think it fucking sucks and I am tired of it so I bitch but I can't quit Nebraska football and I will cheer my ass off in the stadium on Friday but we know the coming L is inevitable.

I just used you as the example of the miserable fan/not miserable person. It's a rare combo. Only post when something bad happens.

Lat voices his opinion somewhat often when things go poorly. He also voices his opinion when he likes a player or when we have a win. You never do that. I don't mean not very often. I mean never.

It's way better than being a miserable person. After all it's just football.

And he can tell the future!

Show up after a win and say one maybe two good things…and then peeps might actually hear what you have to say.

I grew up in the glory days too. Saw every home game in 94 and 95…Was present at the Fiesta bowl for 95…and have also lived the purgatory since.

Somewhere along the way, I just didn’t turn into an asshole.

I didn't know we had positive police on this board. For me, it isn't even about that we suck, it is the fact that we don't even try and compete. Look at the coaches we hire and retain and it tells you all you need to know.

No, I can't tell the future but I can tell you that we aren't a serious program.

Have fun with your offseason circle jerks after Cockeye embarrasses us on our own field again.

Wasn’t Sip defending Frost going into his last season? It’s been a while so I can’t remember for sure but I thought he was a Scotch Fraud defender?
I mean even I think there needs to be a little more progress than what we have had, especially with what we are paying him AND getting an extension, but there is definitely progress under him. Back to back bowl games after the previous 6 seasons without? I think Rhule needs to make some more changes in this offseason (cough uncle donnie cough) and his seat needs to warm up a little bit, but there are signs of progress.

Agreed…

I definitely would have a difficult time understanding how my dad dragging his nuts across my face would be progress of any sorts.

Would be happy to be wrong but can't see Wright being picked that high. He is currently 450 on the PFF big board.

I can see the reasoning, I'm personally not a big PFF guy. Ceyair Wright is probably that low because he doesn't have the numbers/volume to warrant a high grade. He really didn't face many targets for the 1st 7 games of the year because people just didn't throw his way.

His film speaks more to his draft status in my opinion. I'll be very interested to see what his test numbers look like. He's going to be 1st team All Big Ten Coaches selection and that probably gets him invited to the combine.

I could definitely see him rising a lot if he tests well. Pretty shitty corner class. Mccoy down in Tennessee the only elite one and he has missed all year with injury. Going to be interesting who rises.

See what I mean...so obvious that someone can't figure out a solid sweaty nut drag isn't progress.

What he did against USC makes me think he has a shot at making it in the league

Yes, Sip was a complete Frost simp. Any coach who is a “Nebraska” person will largely be immune from criticism by local media.

Whether he deserves it or not, Rhule isn’t going to get the same treatment.
