Thoughts post Northwestern

[BIG TONE SOPRANO]

I think he's surprised that a supposedly knowledgeable fan base can't see that they are producing wins with a mash unit offense that started the season razor thin at all positions.

You know how stupid our fans are. Bitching about wins lol

 

[HerbRedman]

Think he's probably surprised by the level of angst in year 1 more than anything.

Correct

 

[Mavsker]

long as the huskers keep winning and i keep getting this corn out of the field im a happy farmer

What makes people think Rhule is frustrated with the fans and media? I think overall things have been fairly chill. Obviously the frost lovers in the media and fanbase are pretty annoying but should be pretty easy to tune them out.

Ah yeah Nebraska reporters do ask some dumb shit

 

[herbsinator]

He's made some pointed comments about the offense that you can tell are in response to the commentary around that unit's struggles.

Even mentioned booing in the stadium and how he basically has PTSD from his time at Carolina.

It's subtle but he's definitely trying to combat the outside criticism at least imo.

Do you think maybe the criticism of the offense is 100% warranted?

Carolina fans, nfl fans, are trash in general. should be more of a black eye on our fans for booing more than anything sumbitch thoughts thanks BELLCHHH

It absolutely is warranted

 

[stonesak]

It absolutely is warranted

And pointless.

 

[herbsinator]

And pointless.

Might as well not even watch the games. Just check out the box score the next day because there’s nothing we can do about it anyway.

Things have died down a little, but at 0-2 there was a good 50% of the fan base that miraculously forgot all of the shit they were fine letting the last guy get away with.

 

[Ext. 55]

I’m surprised that people can’t or won’t accept how bad off we are at so many positions injury wise on a team that was already lacking talent.

It’s ugly as shit on offense. And HH is 4-1.

It’s going to be ugly this year regardless who’s taking snaps. Accept that.

This is who we are right now.

An ugly offensive team who plays solid defense. It ain’t changing.

And this ugly football team will probably get bowl eligible this year.

This. So much this.

I'm waiting for Rhule to go full Bo Pelini on them anytime now. Especially if they ask anymore dumb shit about the volleyball team.

 

[Sous Chef]

This. So much this.

Dare I hope that it's the death throes of the TC we are witnessing? The salt is because midway through his first season Rhule has done far more with far less than Frost ever did. And I'm not talking about wins and losses (although it seems likely Rhule will pass Frost's best win total as well in year 1) I'm talking about the clear exponential growth of the culture we've seen since the first game of the season. These are the same players who found new and creative ways to step on their own dicks game after game after game that are now winning games we all know we would have lost in the past years. The last two games have convinced me beyond all doubt that Rhule will get us to more than respectable. After the Michigan game I had real fear that the team would collapse, give up and just go through the motions like they have their entire times here. And Rhule IMHO had the same thought. But Rhule did not-will not- allow self pity or excuses from his team. Two very ugly wins beats all of the pretty losses we had under Frost. Anyone who can't see or acknowledge the great coaching that has been going on is blind as all fuck. The Simulation is trying to break Rhule. Rhule says fuck you you can't have me or my boys. I should probably save this until the season plays out a bit more but screw it. I've seen enough. I believe.

If we win next week Rhule will be tied with the last guys highest amount of wins in a season. ☠️

 

[EwokRhuler]

I’m wondering how long Matt’s “preacher’s son” tone in these pressers will last. You can tell he’s frustrated with the fanbase and media already.

I think it was Huskguys or some other fan account on Twitter calling for Satterfield to be fired in the off season....after we just won 2 games. I'd be pretty annoyed too if I had to deal with dipshits who don't know that a win is a win.

 

[Pepe Silvia]

If we win next week Rhule will be tied with the last guys highest amount of wins in a season. ☠️

he's already 25% of the way to matching Frost's 5 year win total

 

[Alcaus]

No, I don’t think criticism is 100% warranted. Maybe 25% warranted.

I’d be more critical about the staff putting all their chips in the Sims basket, though.
