to get yelled at and motivated by the “performance” against NDSU. The preparation time cannot speed guys up. Martinez was just a man among boys, honestly. He’s… he’s… what’s the word… he’s… REALLY REALLY FAST. Not Four-oh speed as Palmer put it (d’oh) but he is FAST.

When I watched the replay...

it appeared to me his hand was stuck between the pads and helmet of the other tackler. He jerked his hand out and the quick dropping of his hand caught Martinez on the helmet. The “sped up” replay (faster than real time it was) made it look like a cheap shot, but I did several rewinds reviews of it and it was an accident.

Ditto this, BC...

I had work and prior engagements that required me to DVR and watch the game after its conclusion. I saw up until 7-0 with us heading in early 2nd Q before stopping and resuming later on. Wow did the last 40 minutes resemble NOTHING of the first 20. I yelled at the TV fewer times this game than UCF… 0 to 2. The numb out-of-body description is pretty accurate – it is the exact feeling I have when the Braves are eliminated when making the playoffs, the Packers lose in the playoffs, and similar to (but a totally different context from) when I got the phone call from my parents that my Grandpa was on his deathbed. I had seen it coming but out of sheer optimism and hope due to the utter disdain for the alternative of despair I had hope to win this game and confidence of keeping it close. FAIL… FAIL.

*Le sigh * However, at 4-1 with UNT and 6 more conference games from which to draw 2 total wins for bowl eligibility I still like out chances for meeting this season’s initial goals.

RG3 is much more likely to pass first. He can run, but it’s not really his preference. He torched us with his arm more. He certainly could have run more, but he just seems to have matured beyond that to where he uses his feet to keep a play alive.

As for Martinez…I don’t even want to think about what he’s going to do to our defense.

because KSU in a town of 50,000 (including 25k students), state with low population and TWO FBS football universities (KU may not win all that much, but they still take recruits and momentum), and no hope at CIC can really do anything about our conference? We’re in a BCS conference now, and sticking with this ship is really our best hope in the short term.

Yikes, what a game

I knew the KSU D was going to have issues, but holy crap, I never expected that. Combine the pre-game hype, getting crushed, and Smith getting hurt and this has to be the worst game I’ve seen in a long time (since I didn’t watch any of the TT game last year I can’t list it).

Anyway, KSU will probably go 7-5, and NU is going to crush and kill everything the rest of the season. Kinda what I expected going into this game.

Almost the same thing buddy

I was working in Saudi Arabia. It was hard to follow sports when the team wasn’t good and my internet connection sucked. MrHappyMushroom, I know your pain.

Thanks, man.

Just wish I hadn’t spent an extra $80 to extend a few days in Kuala Lumpur because I knew I could count on the internet for this one.

Ah, well—so we’re miles behind NU and the defense looks Prince-bad. Still, it’s a single game and sometimes teams look a lot better or worse on any given Thursday than they really are. After getting blanked by Stanford 35-0, UCLA fans didn’t see 3-2 coming.

On the bright side, Lamur hit a couple of passes and seemed to know how to run the offense? Yeah, it was mop up time, but if he can add a little dynamism, roll the fuckin’ dice, Bill.

On another site, I listed what I thought to be Bill’s worst five coached/prepared for games. I think the gap between the two teams in this one was too great to add this one to the list. But it was an awful showing by the coaching staff. Bill lost me entirely when he went for a meaningless field goal when down by 28 and then punted the next time from the NU 40. Clear—the Cats were not going to come back. But for no apparent reason, he didn’t even take the .001% chance (which is infinitely greater than the .000% alternative that he took) on that happening.

There’s not much he could have done about the awful defense. But he was so damned slow on the trigger for any sort of offensive spark. It was clear that Carson couldn’t win a shoot out. Neither could Lamur, but hell—why not give it a try when only down two or three TDs. This was not UCF, where it was possible that 17 tough points could have won the game. I’m sure it’s not true, but to the outside listener, it seems like Bill gave up at the 14 minute point of the 3rd quarter.

But he did leave the starters in way too late and got one of them hurt.

That’s what pisses me off most. He wasn’t trying to win but he still took unnecessary risks like that. What the hell?

Good luck the rest of the season, guys

Tough game. Nebraska has had a few of those the last few years, so we can relate.
