2010 Holiday Bowl Post Game Thread: Who Gets to Pay For This?

O-line play was flippin horrific.

Washington played a lights out game, we did not. If this had been a sloppy game on both sides and we came out on the losing side i’d be pissed. We didn’t get it done, and I wanna kick Shawn Watson’s water-loving ass

They were better prepared, and they played 4 hard quarters, we didn’t, we lost. sucks, but the way we played we didn’t deserve to win that

May have to get involved before things get totally unraveled. Bo knows D, but he has yet to show he has this coaching staff under control.

I didn’t get them ready to play. I thought I did but I didn’t.

I evaluated every position. All the time. I expect everyone to be back. Yes. I expect everyone to be back.

will stick with what I said during the first quarter of the Big 12 game. Martinez should not have been in the game. I honestly think something happened to his mind, his psyche,
his ego, or something, about 5 games ago. It’s as if his mind finally realized that he’s now in the big leagues, and he lost all of his confidence.

And, as I said at the end of the last thread, they should have taken much more time with him, to match his incredible talent with a more mature mind.

Okay, rip these notions apart.

There may just not be much. Against teams with a defense ranked in the top half (i.e. better than 60th) Nebraska went 1-3. The 1 win against #41 Mizzou comes with 1 loss against #84 Washington at a neutral site. That’s pretty much a wash. It’s not like the teams from the top half had dominant defenses either. Sure Texas was in the top 10, but they’re offense is so bad they’re not a bowl team and the game was in Lincoln. Oklahoma and A&M are #57 and #50 respectively.

The average defensive rank of the teams Nebraska beat is 83, and that’s not even counting the win at home over FCS South Dakota State.

I see a one-trick pony that doesn’t have much for sustained drives this year, I’m sure some of it is Watson, some of it is inconsistent line play….but I hope Watson stays and Starling comes and wins the job.

This is it until next fall…or the spring game. Please do a spring game thread…Oh crap, that’s not televised live.

Thank you all for putting up with this lady. Got my first computer this year, stumbled on this great site, and have enjoyed almost every moment of it.

Thank you, new friends!

Is how bad the run D was this game. I just keep having visions of Wisconsin, Pryor, and Denard gutting us even worse than Locker did tonight. Nasty looking game all around. Get some positive things going in the offseason I suppose.

It still doesn’t look any better than it did last night.

how disgusting and embarrassing………..old gum-chomping raving lunatic PeeLeeny really did a whopping job

Did this bunch ever peak too early…………….the worst Texas team in a dozen years comes to town, goat slaps us all over memorial, and ends the joke-of-a-Heisman campaign of TayMart………………….lets see – 8 straight quarters against UT with a SINGLE OFFENSIVE TOUCHDOWN – wow………………short of the last minute punt return, its an even more embarrassing score.

Anyone that watched it saw us slapped around in the trenches ALL DAY aginst an undersized UT D-line, and a very average O-line of theirs snuffed Crick annd company all day

Dropped passes? I recall Hornz dropped 2 IN the end zone, so spare that weak PeeLeeny-like drivel

Other than wins over Droolwater cowboys and a psychotic Mizzou, our season sucked……….all the points and stats run up early in the season were a cruel joke,and the GoodShipLollipop went down like the Titanic last night

Ozborne needs to retire and take that public embarrassment, PeeLeeny and his rants, rage, chawin’ gum like a psycho with him…………Tom did NOTHING without his emptying the jailhouses in LA , New jersey criminals and “unlimited partial qualifiers” – some moral high ground of the Big * scum like OU & Buffies huh ? Dont tell me about a single MNC, since Devaney – the 90s stuff was a ’roided-up gang of thugs, like Toms poster boy, Lawrence Phillips

Fire Tom, Fire Bo……………and i just cant wait for scenic November saturdays in Bloomington & Camp Randall etc

When might UT came along in ’95 and said LIMITS to partial qualifiers, Tom knew it was time to leave, rather than be exposed for the fraud he has always been – building so-called “champions” out of unlimited partial qualifer thugs

he never won a single MNC of which any real Husker could be proud……………he just emptied the jail cells and gang membership on each coast and brought them to Lincoln to play semi-pro ball

Hell, he made Switzer look upright

Tom needs to resign, as does BoBo-the-screaming-cursing-ranting- whining Buffoon

1-9 record vs Texas in 15 years……………………sheesh

I think the lesson here is never take your opponent for granted.I am a life-long UW Huskie fan. I have painfully watched them go from an elite program to the abyss of horrid. I also have the utmost respect for Nebraska. I always rooted for their program (when not playing the Pac-10) when Tom Osbourne was coach and felt their pain when the program was also in the abyss of horrid. I watched the first meeting of the Huskies and Huskers this year and was very impressed with the coaching, discipline and raw-talent the Huskers displayed. They CRUSHED Washington and I was convinced the Huskers would be playing for a National Championship as they had all of the tools. I really don’t know what happened (Martinez getting hurt didn’t help) with their end of season woes, but when I learned the Huskies were playing them in the Holiday Bowl…I was disappointed because I knew the Huskies were going to get CRUSHED again. How shocking last night’s game was. I couldn’t believe that was the same Nebraska team that humiliated my Huskies. Any other Saturday, I say the Huskers would beat my Huskies 9 times out of 10. For you Husker fans, don’t get down too much because your team is way too talented and well coached to let this game affect next year. When our teams meet again next year, I again will be expecting another Husker victory as Washington isn’t quite at your level yet…give them 1 more year and they will again be an elite program like yours.

Looking forward to our next meeting!

you should not be shocked or awed………………………we nearly lost to some Div 2 “jackrabbits” or some such nonsense

a 5th place finish in Big10-whatever its called ,would be a significant accomplishment for the raving lunatic and pubic embarassment known as the Pellini Klown show

The Pellinis, the early years…

We will be lucky to have a winning season next year unless O and run defence improve!

This season we definately look like a group of underachievers. Bo had us believing that he had kids ready to step up for the big game, only to be let down time and again. How many times have we heard “we were outcoached” this year? At what point do we start looking at Bo instead of just Wats and Cotton? This is the most disappointing 10-4 season I can ever think of. I know I should be happy about 10 wins, and in the big picture I am, but I cant help but question the heart of our team right now. One thing I do know is that the Big10 is full of overachievers like Iowa, Northwestern, and Illinois along with actual good teams like Wisconsin and OSU. Unless we can find some real heart to match our talent we are going to see a few losing seasons starting next year.

After 2 seasons of inconsistent performance by the offense, offensive coaching heads need to roll. If Pellini doesn’t do it then we are in for yet another same season. Pellini is not above the finger-pointing either. If he’s not to old to do the job, Osborne needs to kick some butt. In my 5 decades of watching Husker football, this loss is one of the most inept and heart-breaking games ever. My heart isn’t just broken but ripped out and stomped on. I only hope the French didn’t see this game.
