Honest question regarding the fractures within the team:

Everything this year is bothering everyone, weather it's background or up front in your face.

I highly doubt it’s any issue at all within the team.

Fans are more pissed that Ryan has the fricking audacity to come at our program and try to hurt it.

He’s still butthurt that they didn’t want Jordan, his son.

I still stand with the sensible faction of fans that argue no young man would put a small political squabble in the way of a potential future NFL contract

In normal seasons the team lives in a football bubble during the season. When you add a distraction like Ryan Clark and his nonsense players lose focus. Keep in mind Clark is very involved with the Bootleggers so several of the players have known him longer than the coaches. He is very influential, made himself a distraction and as a result its very obvious some of the players no longer eat, breath and sleep football.

I think they do exist. It’s natural when a team is playing below expectations. People point fingers, assign blame, etc. It’s a bad look when you don’t help your teammate up after they get rocked.

Some of the players from the last year are probably wondering why they aren’t in the NFL and in my opinion aren’t giving it their all. The pandemic is furthering their lack of engagement. It’s just an opinion.

Well if there's any truth to that, they're only hurting themselves and their futures.

I really don't think that's an issue at all.


Just put it in the simplest of terms: Who's teaching them? Are the players improving? Are they regressing?


There have been no adjustments and players that lit it up last season look mediocre at best this season.

There's some disconnect between them and the DC.

The OL needs improvement too. But I think the focus should be on the defense. We look lost. That's on Pelini. O earned my trust after last season but it's definitely shaken now and I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels like that.

Pelini has proven to be not a good coach. Look at the games. The results speak for themselves. If O sticks with that, he's really making a bad decision. In my opinion.

The Alabama game is going to be horrible, Ole Miss has a good QB, even Arkansas, they have a better defense than us and we have more talent. That right there is a fact and it's insane to say, "let's give it more time." A&M? Florida? Really?

I don't understand the Pelini defenders and making up excuses like "we're young" and blah blah.

We have the talent to beat these teams. I don't think anyone will disagree with that. We don't have the right coach to coach the guys we have.

I expected a drop off from last season but no one expected this. This is inexcusable.


No such thing as bad student, only bad teacher.
