With Nebraska up 17-10, I felt the chances of a Husker victory were slim to none, and non existent when it was tied. It was the manner in which the momentum had changed and the run defense that gave me little hope. I had a wait and see attitude when the game started. I bought into the thought that with Gregory, Bell, and Abdullah, we could beat a good Wisconsin team. I hope Nebraska wins out, but the chances of this team tanking the last two games is a real possibility to me. This is not the way I ever felt during the TO years. Cosgrove defense of 2007? The same feeling of the flood gates opening. Do the players really buy into this scheme and remain positive, or do they have the same doubts I do? I find the bad fan label is fitting for such a negative attitude. But Pelini teams have conditioned me to expect the blowout when it counts. You can't fire a 8-2 coach, but you can lose the confidence in that coach. And that is where I am at. Winning out won't change it. Next year I will expect this team to tank when a championship is on the line. That is purgatory! Hoping the Huskers to win knowing the blowouts will continue. The administration and the fans are not to blame. The kids are not to blame, it is the coaching staff.
The only way to deal with it to stop thinking about. My fiancée has told me I can attend games alone, and watch them on TV alone. She has been with me for four years of this, and never saw the 90's. she knows very little of football, but sees there is a psychological problem with this program. Are we so invested in this program to see it as those outside the program see?
