Football The flawed logic of Mizzou fans - Page 15

Sam Hall · 10-05-2008, 08:31 AM

You say tradition doesn't matter, yet you're so excited about ending your 30-year losing streak in Lincoln.

You say Bo Pelini sucks, yet Gary Pinkel was 9-14 during his first two seasons at Mizzou. Many Mizzou fans wanted him fired.

Something doesn't add up.

I'm not crying in my beer over Nebraska's loss last night. I told you how the game would unfold. I don't feel your pain. You can't get it all back in two years.

Tradition is the reason you're so excited. You want what Nebraska, Texas and Oklahoma have. You are getting a small taste of it. A national title and a Heisman this season would only be one step. You must sustain similar success over decades.

I think Kansas State and Colorado have more tradition than Mizzou. K-State recently won a conference title. Colorado has a national title and a Heisman.

Pelini will need several seasons to turn around the program - just like Gary Pinkel and Mark Mangino needed. Nebraska has no talent on either side of the ball. The defense isn't fast enough to blitz effectively. The offense is overrated, and the play calling sucks. I hate some of their pass plays.

It's a process. Instant gratification wasn't going to happen. You know that from your own experience.

Last year's Huskers gave up and made tons of mistakes. This year's Huskers make mistakes because they're too aggressive. I'll take the aggression.

Callahan never would've apologized to the state like Pelini did last night.

Think about the things I have mentioned here.

Ruud is the only real talent in the NFL from Nebraska. Hell KU has more real talent in the NFL than Nebraska....

Presenting facts = crybabies? I guess I would prefer that to the ignorant fabrications that you produce. That's just my opinion, though.

That's just BS.

They really dont. Yeah I'm sure they have their fair share of All Americans in the past, but most people in the college football nation view tradition as national prominance, winning national titles, having mult Heisman trophy winners etc.

People would view teams like ND OU, TX USC and would say they have tradition of winning program.......MU not so much.....at least yet.

What is tradition doing for Notre Dame lately, or the Miami's, Florida States?? Their recruits are so dominant they can't crack the top 25

Pitt Gorilla · 10-06-2008, 01:23 PM

When was the last time NU beat a top 20 team? It seems like it's been a while.

ImAWalkingCorpse · 10-06-2008, 01:24 PM

If Nebraska and their fans think this week was bad.. just wait, Texas Tech will hang 70 on them and feel good about doing it.

All 3 of those not doing anything to help their teams win, hell Bullocks plays on an awful defense... Carriker playing for the Rams and well Williams.... Chiefs. Ruud is the only real NFL talent (up to this point).

We SHOULD have hung 70 on them, just to do it. Pinkel was far too nice shutting down at the end of the 3rd quarter.

Yeah look at all of those NFL stars Pinkel has produced......Brad Smith converted WR.

I can't remember if Gage was Pinkel's recruit....I dont think he was.
