From the South

First off, all apologies for going AWOL. I just can't bring myself to write about something I hate even thinking about. That's right, I hate even thinking about Nebraska football right now. I firmly believe that we are all victims of an atrocity.

With Nebraska WISHING for mediocrety and my beloved Cubs blowing billie goats, I am on the brink of a stay in a padded white room. THIS SHIT IS DISGRACEFUL!

In case you haven't looked at the schedule, we may not get another W. In fact, I would be surprised if we did. If Coz doesn't put his resignation in tomorrow, he should be fired on Monday. I can't watch another defensive snap until he's gone. I'd rather watch The View. Seriously. I will turn the channel when we are on D and have someone let me know when I can turn it back. Is there any chance Coz isn't fired this week? Please tell me no. Call me up and reassure me that there is NO CHANCE of him coaching another down. I just can't believe we didn't realize Cosgrove sucked earlier (oh wait, we did realize it...in year 1).

Random thoughts:

1. Marlon Lucky is just not very good. He just lacks a smidge in all areas.
2. We have zero energy guys on D (not even Octo could hold the jocks of Wistrom, Peter, Polk, Farley, Alberts, Mike Brown, Vandenbosch, Rucker, and others)
3. Cosgrove is an absolute moron. 3-4? Really? 3-4? That is your answer? Freaking idiot.
4. 50-50 chance I sell my UT NU tickets on Ebay (assuming they still have value).
5. USC got beat by Stanford. UT got beat by KSU. OU got beat by CU. But Nebraska can't even compete with a team that doesn't completely suck.
6. Octo on the D line is the right move. But I have a hard time believing Cosgrove came up with that on his own.
7. My Fantasy team is the only thing keeping me going (4-0 baby). If that goes south...I don't know. I just don't know.
8. At least Solich got his ass beat by Turner this week.

Just for Fun, here is what we used to have.

Tom Osborn Legacy:

In his quarter-century as head coach, Osborne was a model of consistency. He never won fewer than nine games in a season, finished in the top 15 of the final AP poll every year, and was ranked in every weekly AP poll from the start of the 1980 season onward. His teams won two undisputed national championships (1994 and 1995) and a share of another (1997). They also won 12 Big Eight Conference titles and one Big 12 Conference title. His 255-49-3 record gave him the best winning percentage (83.6%) among active NCAA Division I-A coaches at the time of his retirement and the fifth-best of all time. As of 2006, only Joe Paterno has reached 200 victories in fewer games. But Osborne, who went on an NCAA record 60-3 run over his final five seasons, won 250 games faster than any coach in Division I-A history.
