Glad to hear I'm not the only that flies into fits of rage when Nebraska sucks.

It’s either fits of rage or uncontrollable laughter, embarrassment and despair

I grew out of that in 2020 and turned to staring blankly into a wall for who knows how long

I want to say option 1 because the very acute pain suffered is the most memorable. For example when we had that retarded punt get returned against Michigan State I fucked up one of the reclining seats on my couch in a fit of rage.

However option 2 is a similar level of pain that is dispersed over multiple hours. Nothing really stands out about it looking back, but I know the whole experience was very torturous.

The conclusion is that Nebraska football lets us experience the entire spectrum of pain. Dying and going to hell would be a pretty easy transition for a Nebraska fan. It’s probably not much different.

Minn was the interception/fumble right before half returned for a td.

There have been too many kicks to the dick the last 21 years; to even be remotely optimistic this season will be different is just asinine. I'd love nothing more than for this season to be 9-3 or 10-2 and have some joy watching this team...but we all know what is going to happen unfortunately.

I like watching when people go down the schedule predicting wins and loses and say things like, “Illinois, win, Rutgers, yeah easy win, Northwestern win, Minnesota another win”

Nebraska has 3 wins 6 losses against Illinois Minnesota and Northwestern the past three seasons. You can’t assume anything anymore. Offer that stat up to the “we’re close” crowd and see what they say.

"You do realize Mike Riley coached at Nebraska before Frost and that COVID was a thing, yes?"

Yes I was eating a big bowl of ice cream at the time. Fuck you @Baron Winnebago

I mean it's too late to save either of your feet from the beetus so you might as well enjoy yourself

There are still White Knights out there blaming everything possible and not putting any of this on our former star QB Frost. It has gotten so bad that I record most of the games and watch them later. Some I just delete if we lose because of the usual bone headed mistakes. I don't enjoy watching poorly coached teams.

i did the math the other day when some window fogger on RRS said that we would win at least 2 of 4 versus Minn, Mich, Cockeye and Wisc. HCSF is 1-12 vs those four teams since his magical return to his alma mater.

I've brought that stat up a couple times... It's breathtaking.

I'm sure it will be different here.

Run Da Dam Ball Guy gonna stroke out watching his offense

 

[Kaladin]

I'm sure it will be different here.

Pitts offense ran the ball 525 times and passed it 544 times last year so you are probably right

Season R/P ratio isn’t a great barometer of the offenses’ actual %age. RPOs and score of games. I’d like to see what it was when the games are close.

 

[GAHusker]

4-8

Despite a lot of evidence supporting that this will be the case, Sipple says he’ll run the ball because he coached in the NFL. Case closed

Yes. Plus, even if this was a true barometer, do we really want it 50-50 anyway??

I used to think 50/50 split was a nice goal to achieve. But to me, it doesn't mean a whole lot. Can you distribute the ball somewhat equally to your skill players. Obviously you'll have one or two guys you might favor, but that's true balance, however you get them the ball.

Plus with RPOs, that R/P split is manipulated quite a bit. We had a really good team in 2017, and our R/P split was right at 51 R/ 49 P, but I bet we called run plays 65%+ of the time, our QB just chose to pull and rip it based on what he saw.

I think a true barometer is what the OL is blocking each time and that percentage.
