First off congrats to our boys on the 4-0 start…stay strong Huskers. We really do know you’re trying your hearts out. We talk a lot but we cheer every Saturday like worshipers at the First Church of Husker. Preach on, my brothers… preach on!
Quality v. Quantity:
Okay them ‘Skers are winning so there are celebrations to be had right? Right? For a team 4-0 things feel blah. Maybe it’s because we know that there’s fluff in those wins. The quantity of the numbers in the left-hand column is being overridden with the quality of how they got there. We even hear the term “quality” bantered about with the commentators and the reporters following college football as a road marker to poll rankings and bowls. I think we all would love to see a trouncing of a decent opponent to reaffirm that we have a “Cornhusker” team on our hands.
Happiness of the Peasants:
Back in medieval times the grunts working the fields were treated to a carnival every once in a while to keep them satisfied and make the king seem kind and caring. Well the grunts are grumbling. I don’t want it to seem like I’m coming down on the kids. They are caught in the middle. Sure they have had their share of penalties and fumbles but the are talented athletes who CAN win if put in the proper situations. Big Bill needs to let the beef up front roll and run block and feed Ross some trails North and South. We’ve seen flashes of what the WC Offense is going to bring, but how many of us miss the shifty-moved, breakaway, “20…25…30…35…no one’s gonna get’em now folks” days of not all that long ago. Make the peasants happy King Bill…just for a little bit.
