Ball State Profanity Free Post Game Overreaction

by Jon Johnston on Sep 22, 2007 3:06 PM CDT in Nebraska Husker Football

In the interest of full-disclosure, I didn't get to watch this game. I had some Dish Network problems early, and by the time I got them fixed, the game was well under way. I spent the game listening to Jim Rose.

It's been a weird year all over. Michigan sucks. Notre Dame wishes they sucked as bad as Michigan. Louisville failing. Teams like Wisconsin and Texas dancing with suckage.

Nebraska didn't just dance with suckage. We courted it last week and this week we almost married it.

Sam Keller had a nice day. Marlon Lucky had a nice day, as did the receiving corps. Unfortunately, the offensive line proved we can't run the ball even against an undersized defense.

And all of that doesn't matter because we gave up 422 yards in the air to Nate Davis - 214 of that to a single receiver, Nate Love. We gave up over 600 yards of total offense. Don't believe the spew about how good a team Ball State is. We're suddenly in the business of making teams look incredible. That our defense played this badly is indefensible.

We have an illness, and we have two weeks to cure it. Bill Callahan's consistent, redundant answer to any injury question best describes this Husker team:

Day to Day

One of my real-life vices is that I swear too much. I worked hard to keep it out of this post. Really hard.

Rushing vs Balls Tate

Well, I only listened to the game as well, but it sounded like we were effective with the run. The thing is, NE had to air it out the whole game to keep up with all the points the D was giving up. This team has ME RUNNING scared! That's it for me and Coz, I've tried to back him, but I'm ready to see him start packin'....

A Tree trembles in the forest

I can't decide if it was boon or bane that many of us outside the Flat-Water borders probably didn't see this. It still stings without the visual and trying to keep tabs on things via ESPN.com bar graphs made the utter futility that much more glaring (and simultaneously less timely).

Sigh

Wow....

I dont really have much to say. I didn't get to watch the game and didn't even get to listen to any of the second half. I have read some things on the internet and have gotten to see some replays on tv and from that I just have to say, wow. I am tired of bitching about the coaches. There is nothing left to say after, "they suck". I will always be a HUSKER fan and will continue to root for the team and scream at the tv like a madman but until they get a new staff in here I will temper my expectations to hoping we can beat the local jr. high team. Maybe that is Pedersons and Callahans goal, to get everyone to lower their expectations so that next year when we narrowly beat St. Marys School for the Blind ( dont we play them 3 or 4 times next season as out of conference opponents)we will be overly excited. I have absolutely no idea what Callahan has done to deserve an extension to his contract but what ever it was he has forgotten it now. Maybe he has some more friends who cant coach that he can hire as offensive coordinator. I am just sick of this crap. Well enough bitching for tonight.
