My condolences to Nebraska fans,

How many watched the comeback? Major adjustments too little and always at least a quarter way too late. This is why Rhule cannot win top 20 games.
 
And another thing. Or maybe two. As a general rule I leave players out of my hyper-critical takes concerning Husker football. These aren't huge criticisms of players. Let's call them observations.

I admit, I drank the Koolaidrea after the first 5 games, but let's face it, he has not played well in our 3 losses. The timing of the Great Announcement that he would be returning next season was awful. The "it" factor I thought he had was limited to MAC competition and quite literally the two worst teams in the B1G. The investment this program made in his return is eerily similar to the same one Coach Mattie received last season when he was raising his skirt and showing his all to Penn State. Then Minnesota happened, and this season Washington happened.

Finally...Gilmer. Heard a lot of early season talk that after Smith at OSU, Gilmer may be the best receiver in the B1G. IMO this has turned out to patently false. Every Saturday I see receivers making some unbelievably difficult catches. Hell, I saw one last night with about a minute remaining in the game by a Washington receiver. On far too many occasions Gilmer lets catchable balls slip through his hands. Throw in his weekly block in the back or holding penalties that negate huge plays and you have an average to slightly above average receiver, not a game changing playmaker.

It's like us fans are Charley Brown and the team is Lucy. Every time we run up to get a good kick at the ball that bitch Lucy yet again pulls it away. I hate Lucy. :)
