Re: Game Time Thread UL vs UN
My main problem is keeping the starters in so long. On a roll out by the Neb qb in the 3rd it was clear that Zanders was nowhere near 100% and he was still in the game. We were down 34-0 and he couldn't plant and swith directions. I know he wants to stay in, but there comes a point where as a coach you nut up and sit him down. He was hurting the team by being out there at that point in the game.
My only other complaint is on Masson. He needs to nut up and take control, this isn't high school football anymore. When B Mac went in the game all of a sudden the plays weren't straight dives anymore, they were options and he was running the ball.
OK last complaint (I think). I don't know if it was the play calling or Masson, but why all the 5 yard passes? I was watching on TV, so I couldn't see the whole field like the last few weeks. That's why I don't know who to complain about on this one.
Oh, it's never a waste of money to watch the Cajuns. However, these are the game that drive me to drinking.

Re: Game Time Thread UL vs UN
Had we not played so horribly, I honestly don't see the score being much different. Can anyone remember a single play of that game that Nebraska didn't do something nearly amazing? They played flawlessly, and we didn't. We were out manned and it was plain as day to see from my perspective. Their 2nd and scout teams would give our starters a good game. I'm not being pessimistic because I still see us having a great season, but Nebraska is going to be top 10 by year end. Did anyone see what VT did to a Miami team that everyone was raving about today? You did? Ok now that same VT team got beat up and down the field by Nebraska last week and pulled the game out of their asses to barely win. Tip your hats to the Huskers, they have one helluva' football team this year

I'm tired of acting like a mid-major when we take the field. Did i forget 4 runs up the middle for no gain at the 1? Our kids are overmatched but playing hard. Our coaches don't coach like we belong on the same field. The kids get the message. Looking forward to getting back into the kiddie pool next week. Bullcrap.

This man obviously sees what i am seeing. Its clear Bustle is just satisfied with collecting a paycheck and that totally ____es me off. what was with all the short passes and runs up the middle against the monster DL and LBs of Nebraska, are you kidding me?
whats sad was we completed most of our deep passes but we barely took chances of scoring and going downfield, even if you win or lose the challenges, i would have challenged the Fumbled TD in the End Zone for Nebraska at the beginning just to fight for something and also the reception ruled fumble from Ladarius Green when he had it for a second to turn around and when he was hit it flew out. I didnt think that was a completion. I dont know it just seemed like they weren't really trying to compete for anything and by the 2nd half had barely any Starters for DEFENSE. Why continue to just let their 2nd, 3rd string continue to hammer you??? way to make us look horrible.
If we wanna win the sunbelt we cant have the mentality our coaches have. Whoever is calling the plays, they definately need to be more creative, take more chances downfield and stop being so damn predictable.
and im done venting, Lets see some major improvement in 2 weeks
Good news:
ULM beat FAU
Troy beat ASU
2 "favorites" to win for sunbelt lose this week to teams i KNOW we can beat. lets make it happen Cajuns!
Re: Game Time Thread UL vs UN
Whatever that was, he and that coaching staff did NOT have this team prepared to play. Nobody was expecting us to necessarily win, but this team has significantly improved over the past year and there is no way that we should have looked like what we did. I was thoroughly embarrassed to be an alumnus of the university watching that game.
After reading Parrott's pregame blog, it seemed to me that we were pretty much just putting things into overdrive to save for conference play. I hope I am wrong on that one but it drives me crazy to think that may be true.

I'm not losing all sense of reality. However, everything that transpired before the game began with holding out players or limiting their participation just sent the wrong message to me. Either they were more injured than the coaches and media led us to believe or Bustle just figured he'd try to keep them as healthy as possible for conference which, to me, just sends a bad message to your team.
How long will it take someone to understand that you cannot keep running the zone read off guard against teams like this. If you can't throw different wrinkles into your gameplan, you can't coach. Up until this game, I've been very impressed with what I've seen thus far. I still have a lot of optimism that we can win conference or at least win 6 or possibly 7 games assuming we can get over these injury issues that seem to keep biting us.

Well, I am not giving a another dime to this program until they show more. Why would I pay my hard earned money to a program that does not win??? I have given enough and have not gotten ANY effort from anywhere else. This is pathetic!
Re: Game Time Thread UL vs UN
Good to see all the Debbie Downers out again. Where were you guys after the 2-0 start? Nothing to complain about I guess. But now you do have something to complain about, so you go into the express lane of complaining and get as much out as you can because you missed about 3 weeks of complaining (got some catching up to do there, don't you?)
Look, everyone here knew we were going to be 2-2 at best, 1-3 at worst heading into the bye week. In the grand scheme of things, playing decent against Nebraska was not going to get us to our ultimate goal, the New Orleans Bowl. Good thing is, after playing like crap, we still have a great shot to get to New Orleans.
Guys need to get some rest, heal those injuries, and then come out and beat the crap of UNT. If you don't go to that game at home, then shame on you.
Reminder- the next 8 are more important than the first 4.

Ditto except for where I was Saturday.
I love Lincoln though.
