Nothing like a couple tough losses to bring out the 'fire coach' brigade.
In case you haven't noticed, we've entered the "NFL-ization of CFB's Big Two. Every defense is tough; every game is a war; and the goal is to get through the season with as few of scars as possible.
We'll see how the second half of the season plays out but why all this anger? Are we like Penn State last year? Were we predicted to win the Natty and nobody told me?
If I had predicted back in June that Nebraska would go toe-to-toe against Indiana and Oregon but come up short, what would have been the response here?
I was told on more than one occasion that we had zero chance against 'The Big Boys.' I was told the Ducks and Hoosiers were both at an elite level and we'd be lucky if we could stay within three scores. Am I wrong?
I don't care to go back and look, but a large number of posters here predicted 5-7 or 6-6. A number opined we'd be better but with this year's schedule, we would be lucky to go 7-5 again. Maybe 8 if we catch a break.
But at 5-2 it's time to hope for a new coach? At this point in the season, we have the exact same number of losses as Alabama, Florida, LSU, Missouri, Tennessee, Ole Miss, Texas, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Iowa.
If we end of losing a bunch more games by the end of the season THEN go ahead and scream to the heavens. But the only thing all this post-Oregon fan fuss is doing right now is putting more damn pressure on the team.
My advice? Relax and enjoy our Blackout game on Saturday.
