No lie, I was really pissed Saturday. The Mrs. could attest that I was not a fun person to be around Saturday night and Sunday.
But as angry as I was, I felt myself bristle when yahoos like Tad Stryker on Huskermax decides to publicly skewer our QB and Coach. I'm sure as hell no saint, I was thinking some pretty nasty stuff over the weekend, but I had enough self-control not to post them.
There's no way to sugar-coat Saturday's game. It was especially painful considering the way Husker Nation took over CU's stadium and given how well we played the first half. But having had a chance to cool down, I seem to recall a bunch of other Husker teams, including a national championship squad, that almost let CU come back on them. And those teams had a lot more experienced players than we had last Saturday.
As tough as the loss was to take, we have to remember
it was a non-conference game. I've seen enough college football to have seen some young teams grow up over the course of a season. We've certainly discovered we have some things to fix, but this team showed -- in one half anyway -- how they're capable of performing.
I like this coaching staff and I like these players. Let's let September play out before jumping off a cliff.
