I really feel bad.

[kaz36_rivals189319]

I don't know why I did it last night, but I listened to the Big Red reaction show on 590 and the Big Red Overreaction show on 1620 and I felt like driving my car off the road after listening to some people. Ithe seriously sounded like some people were suicidal last night. I was genuinely worried for some of them. Maybe it is the fact that I have a family and have matured, but I don't ever remember having a loss hit me as hard as some of these people. Yes, I was angry, disappointed, etc, but then thought about how I loved my family and how great my life is and how football is an enjoyment for me. I had a special day yesterday. My son was on a recruiting visit to USD yesterday. My wife was unable to go, so I asked my 78 year old dad to go with us. He got to tour the campus, facilities and take in the game with us. I don't know how many times he thanked me for asking him to come along with us. He played at Peru many, many years ago and marveled at all the things available to athletes. As we listened to the game on the drive home, I looked at him and my son and realized how special this was and felt bad for people whose lives are ruined by these games. It really put things into perspective for me.


Then I realized I had to moderate the board when I got home and thought about going and buying a gun. I kid. I kid. I love all of you. Thanks for keeping me on my toes.

High expectations are fine. Extending those to personal attacks on coaches and players.....not cool.

For me its not ruining my life its just very difficult to watch something so special get destroyed when it can be fixed by good choices. Just have to be willing to spend the money and if I had it I would. Nebraska has the money they should go get a great coach.

It will speak volumes about the administration to see how long they let this dismal representation of Nebraska football play out. If this doesn't improve and we have to endure 4 years of this type of ball then the party is over. There will be no return to greatness.

Awesome story! I can somewhat relate with my dad and son, but my son is a little younger than yours. Good luck to yours.

I'm a USD grad. I loved my time in Vermillion. Hope you and your son enjoyed it.

I laughed when reading your post. I used to be that way, getting all depressed when the Huskers lost, and it would ruin my weekend. Then I decided not to get so emotionally invested. The answer was easy - I never watch the game live. I wait until it is over and then read the various reports on the game and re-watch it on BTN or YouTube and analyze it after the fact. Did that today and what I discovered (in my opinion) was that we got out-coached and Illinois looked as talented as we were. We did not dominate any part of that game, which you would expect if you played an inferior opponent. That's scary

Great campus and great facilities. Their athletic dept is going all in on facilities. $70 million on a new arena and training center and then will be putting another $40 million into the Dakota Dome. Rough game yesterday, but YSU has a good defense.
