Speaker 1 (00:00):
After that debacle on Friday, there have been calls for
Richie postseason rant, and he's good enough to come on.
You revived yourself just enough, Richie. I know because your
giants are on TV tonight. Otherwise you probably wouldn't be
able to make it.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
I'll always make a few guys. You know that. Hey,
I got a question for you, guys. Is there a
fan portal?
Speaker 3 (00:27):
It's full, it's full, right, Well, it's it's funny, Richie,
because you know, devotion and loyalty are two different things,
and Nebraska fans are very loyal, almost obligatory, but devotion
can wane. I don't think anybody from Nebraska is going
(00:48):
to suddenly become a fan of Iowa or Missouri or
Kansas State or Colorado, but the devotion could wane. And
that will show with leg room at the ballpark. And
after twenty five years.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
I think it's already. I think it's been shown for
the last few years. And it seems like every time
we think we're turning the corner, something like this happens.
I mean, that was unbelievable. You know. First of all,
the weather was just awful. I mean it just got
worse and worse. And you know you're sitting there, you know,
and and and only US Nebraska Giants two can can
(01:20):
have a two hundred plus yard runner and get destroyed.
Usually when you have someone that runs the two hundred yards,
you're controlling the game and winning the game, not getting
blown out. Only US It's just unbelievable. I mean, Emmontt
had one heck of the game with that first run,
and I'm like, here we go and and and you know,
that was it. I mean, we didn't really score again,
it was amazing. It really was. Well hit field goals.
(01:43):
At least we did that.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
So I don't know, Well, you know, in August, Matt
Rule said quote, I think we're pretty damn good. That
is a direct Matt Rule that August he said, I
think we're pretty damn guy.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
We all said that. We. I mean, there's got to
be changes on this coaching staff, don't you think.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
Well, that's what I want to ask you. Who needs
to be fired? Now?
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Well, let's see. We can start with the offensive coordinator,
because I don't think he knows what he's doing. That's
number one. Okay, the defensive coordinator. I'm up and down
with offensive line coach. You know my feelings toward him
and uh defensive line coach, the guy we got from
Kansas City. Oh they got worse. I mean, he's got
to do something. I mean, this is not a good
(02:29):
coaching staff. I mean, you can see it. I will
just out schooled us. I mean, you know, you say
what you want about parents and stuff, but this guy
knows what he's doing. And you know, and I hate
to say this, maybe we should kind of like take
a page from them, and you know, run the football,
play defense, and have good special teams and start with
winning eight games every year and start with that. I
(02:50):
don't know, you know, I mean, we can still win
eight games. You know, we're gonna go to go to
a ball game.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
It sounds like, yeah, But I don't want I don't
think Husker Nation wants to sell. Nobody cares.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
You have to take.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
But I agree with him. That's the starting point. I
do well.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
I do believe this to your point, Richie. And there
were some people writing about this online over the weekend
that we need to build our offense around Emma Johnson.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
No, no, no, no.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
You build your offense around a running.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
Game, not a running back.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
And Iowa Isler builds his offense around a running game.
You cannot you cannot win in college football today building
your offense around one running back who is one cut
on the field from a torn knee ligament. This has
to be a different approach to football. But if you
bring in a quarterback like Dylan Ryola, who is a
(03:43):
future NFL drop back pocket.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
Pis, he thinks he is, he thinks he is well, but.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
He thinks an NFL quarterback.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
I'm just telling you what. I'm just telling you what
the sales pitch was.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
But if you look at them anything they want, I mean,
I know what I see. Maybe he might be in
two years another Right now, he's not nowhere near You
know what, This is how you build a football team.
You build a football team with the offensive and defensive
lines in and out. That's how you do it. Then
you get the running backs, then you get the quarterback
and the wide receivers, and you piece it up that way.
(04:17):
You got to build the trenches in our offensive line
and defensive lines. It's some of the worst we've ever seen,
and you're not going to win, especially in this conference
where it's smashed mouth and physical football. Maybe in the
Big twelve you get away with it, but not in
this conference. You got to build your offensive line and
defensive line. There's not even a question about it. And
I don't know. I thought we did that with the
(04:38):
offensive line. I don't know what happened to them. So,
I mean they just regressed as the year went along.
And that's another thing we see to regress in November
every year. It's supposed to get better.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
They didn't do badly in this lab. They should have
been good. They combined had over two hundred starts off.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
I'm just saying that you can't put this one on
the offensive line games.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
It's a problem this week, but they should have been
a lot better. They should have been a lot better.
And the defensive line, well, you know we lost two
NFL players.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
Yeah, but they knew they were gonna stop the run.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Got to stop the wrong.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
You spend a bunch of money on receivers, and that
means you don't have anything you have.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
You spend a ton of money on receivers.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
You don't have any money for defensive linemen, and you
have to spend the money on defense.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
I don't understand we don't have any money. Where's the
money going?
Speaker 3 (05:28):
Well, that's what we were told that we had been
Matt Rules said that mid season we need we need more, we.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Need to know to spend money on players. How come
we can't get this.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
Wasn't this wasn't just players, This was scheme. This bothers
this scheme. There's something wrong.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
Iowa doesn't There's something wrong. Minnesota doesn't buy.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
When you get dashed like that and you can't fit
the run game after game after.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Game, quarterback didn't he then I will buy that cornerback. Yes,
that's just another quarterback that was better than I It
seems like that happens every week.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
But that's the.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
First one they've had since at Stanley who could complete
a pass further than five yards. This has been their issue.
But if you look at their season, and I said
this after the game, I think this was the best
team we played in Nate stand This was the best
team we played all season. They were Yeah, they were
three plays from beating Oregon in Indiana. Yes, yes, yes, yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
They were better than Michigan.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
They're better in Michigan, they're better in USC Now. They
didn't beat them, they just they just play us.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
We match up terrible against them. That's what them, Yes,
you beat them. Well, they're not better than you?
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Yeah, I think they are. Did you see the meme work?
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Anyway? They matched We match up poorly against them. It's
all about the offensive defensive lines. And they're very dominant
Dan and we're not. And that's where it starts. And
they just took control of us and just pounded us
the whole Richie.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
Did you see the memes? Did you see the meme
where Matt rule where Kirk parents is old in the
Little Baby Matt Rule.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
They had the picture of the nebrask Welcome to Nebraska
and had the Iowaks. Yeah, I've seen all of that.
What what are we gonna do? Man? We can't say
it was eleven.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
We can't say they look they got us, Minnesota's got
us in Iowa.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
We got nothing to say. Hey, Richie, thanks man? All right, guys,
there he goes Richie and Papillion, our official Husker fan
