I like Tim Miles, think he would be fun as fuck to play for. By far his most talented team, let’s see what we can do
Won by 23 Y'all are worse than the helicopter parents in the stands bitching about everything at a game between Hebron and Blue Hill
If you watched the game it was a 4 point game before/as those comments were made, but hindsight blah blah
Just a little criticism to keep you in check. Don't want to turn into one of "those people", right? Right?!?
And those calls were still horrific. We just have enough talent to overcome that now when we would have gone off the rails in the past.
This came up last season, I think Oz had a similar post to yours. I remember explaining it that personally 99% of my in game posts are overly negative/sarcastic, OR they’re just based on what’s happening in the moment and are emotionally influenced. I can’t imagine you’ve never reacted to something a certain way live, then postgame you realize it didn’t actually matter. If Nebraska throws a pick six on the first play Saturday, I’d expect people to react negatively. If Nebraska wins 77-7, it didn’t matter, but at that given moment it seemed like it did/could effect it.
Don't let me cramp your styles gentlemen. Was just commenting from another point of view. If that's how you all enjoy experiencing a game with each other that's cool.
This. Several people, myself included, were critical of Palmer in the midst of his 0-8 start. He finished with 29 points. In hindsight those posts look stupid, but they made complete sense at the time.
Wow can’t believe you guys haven’t learned nebrasketball always deserves a positive outlook in the moment
Random thoughts Glynn- continue that all year Roby- stop with the dumb early fouls and that bullshit foul doesn’t matter JPJ- no more 0-8 starts Copeland - come off a screen at the FT line 10+ times a game, thanks Harris - just play D and maybe get a couple dunks Allen - continue to hit your wide open 3’s Akenten - Good defense, Board, and the occasional 3 Borchardt - Give those minutes every game Heiman - was not expecting that. Pretty sure we’ve got more out of him in this one game than I expected to all year. 23 point win after playing like poop for the first half. Not bad. Not bad at all.
A wise person might come upon the realization that hindsight makes reactionary, emotional posts look bad quite often and make future posts with that in mind. But I do it sometimes too so whatever. It is striking how consistently negative in-game posts seem to be seemingly regardless of the result. I'm sure there's some interesting psychological tic at play.
Personally, when I watch Ozigbo run for a 66 yard touchdown I like to sit quietly and have no reaction because the only time emotion should show during the game is at the END of the game.
Not sure how an Alabama football fan or Duke basketball fan would post mid-game but I have to imagine the last two decades of “fuck us” has some effect on the people in this thread. We’ve seen Nebraska athletics meltdown and choke in so many different situations I think at this point it’s just “natural” to feel like a fumble, or 9-0 run by the opponent is the end of the world (game).
I mean 90% of the posts 1 quoted were about the officiating. Which the officiating was horrendous regardless of the outcome.
Like I said, it's posts on a message board about what is ultimately little more than entertainment so like really who cares. I'm just saying there have been times where I missed a Nebrasketball game, skimmed this thread, assumed we got our shit pinned based on the thread's tone, only to see we won by 15. It's just like kind of amusing is all. But yeah last night was mostly just officiating posts which I'm sure everyone would stand by in hindsight. Unrelated, I wonder if refs are aware of it when they're absolutely blowing a game. Like an athlete knows when he's playing terrible. Does that happen for refs too? Biff Bridges
Absolutely. My first boys class A state tournament game felt like I was reffing the Jordan era Bulls and this year's Warriors. You know when you're over your skis a little. Here's why I was so upset at the illegal screen call sequence. There are plenty of calls you immediately regret and when there's video replay it makes it worse. But to exacerbate your bad call with a technical is absolutely unacceptable but it does happen, usually with bad officials in over their head in a game they aren't qualified to work. Last year we had a young official make a bad call, coach jumped down his throat, and because he's intimidated and it's one of his first varsity games, hit the coach with a T. All the way home we educated him that if you make a questionable call, you'd better give the coach a long leash to yell a little and to suck it up and take it. Don't make it worse by throwing out a tech. Last night, the skinny ref made the bad call and the high knees running ref who's the big dog on the crew since he's done at least one Final Four, "had his partner's back" and stuck our assistant for standing up off the bench from 60 ft away. Joke call and a complete power play. Now, I will tell you that he had to be almost positive Nebraska was going to win the game and thought here's a place I can back up my young guy, put an assistant in his place, and get everyone to look at me and not affect the outcome of the game. I think it's a bullshit move, but that's more than likely his thought process. He reffed the Duke/Kansas game in Swimtown last year and I'd bet my life he wouldn't make that same call in that game. But in a meaningless out-of-conference game Nebraska was going to win anyway in November, he can get a gold star for backing up his dude and following the rule book to the letter which will help him get back into the tournament. Loose ball foul on Borchardt from Old Man River ref was bad enough to get you booed out of the gym in fucking Loup City let alone a B1G game. Awful. Considering literally every play/whistle you have is evaluated at that level, I'm guessing he didn't grade out too well.
Can say from direct observation that biff is the type of ref that goes well above and beyond the basic gestures necessary to make the call. Examples: -claps as entry into his charge call signal. This is followed by a 180 degree kick-twirl to highlight the change in possession -runs across the court to point directly at the coach who is calling timeout at a maximum distance of 3ft from coach's face -raises arms well above his head prior to hammering them down on his hips to indicate blocking foul. Thrusts pelvis forward and repeats x4. -traveling calls are accompanied by an Angus Young duckwalk -throws his entire body into the mix of a jump ball call. -kick-twirls at all changes of possession include a scuff-squeak of his all black new balance shoes -lots of gladhanding with the coaches during warmups -stretching displayed as publically as possible
Dat conference lyf. But thos sports toilet talks :-/ Sports toiletmen are the biff britches of toiletmen
Used car salesmen that don’t sell cars. LEMME TELL YOU ALL ABOUT THESE CARS but someone else gonna have to sell it to you
I never understand why people think the Josh Heupels of the world are really attractive hires. The guy that comes in and (shocker) has a good year the year after the program-building coach leaves. There's always one. Did people expect UCF to suddenly suck this year? CFB fans are dumb, generally.
speaking of chuggin wein, who is the white guy on the halftime show... not bahe... another weiner chugger
