Listened to a podcast where they talked about Pet Peeves related to their favorite sport or team. It was pretty funny, so interested in hearing some on our side.

1. Calling any OL since the 90s the “Pipeline”. Drives me nuts

2. The announcers letting us know it’s third down. Not sure why that was ever added.

3. That Irish song. WTF are we doing?

That Irish song isnt really an Irish song. Its just an Irish styled local band singing it. It pays tribute to the teams of the past. Far better than that jump around ****.

Why is stand up and shout a pet peeve?
Sadly, some people need to be told what to do. Some only get it half right and just stand up, like that’s doing any ******* good.

1. People that sit during the entire game.
2. People that hold conversations about stupid ****, not related to the game. Why did you waste the $$$$$ on a ticket.
3. Traffic, people driving slow in the left lane.

Defense:
1. Overrunning a QB sack and missing the tackle. stop,drop,roll.
2. Soft coverage. We want it tight and hard. Worst is not playing the line to gain on 3rd down.
3. Tie: Poor tackling and not being lined up pre-snap

Offense:
1. No screen game- better under Rhule
2. Inability to run a normal route: drop back-throw a strike. Adrian M. was prime culprit of completing most throws on improvised scrambles.
3. Tie: OL not continuing to move their feet until the whistle blows and procedure penalties.

Special Teams:
1. More than 2 shanked punts in a year.

1. Stand up and shout....is that Sam Kinison? I like the reason, hate the sound. Find something else
2. Van Halen "Right now" stupid song.
3. Pilots of the flyover opening their shirts to reveal.......HUSKER shirts! Wow, crazy!
4. Fans singing BA BA BA on Sweet Caroline. So stupid.

Finishing near the bottom of the conference. Being in this conference to begin with (damn Texas)
Fans that are Excusing losing under Rhule because his teams aren’t very good until year 3 (why does it have to remain that way?)

Pet Peeves:
-Our matching band being a shell of its former self. Watching old games from the 80s and 90s, I didn’t know that we used to Boomer Sooner the hell out of our fight song after picking up 1st downs, big plays, etc. It sounded great, and just like after playing Tennessee, USC, and Oklahoma, you’d have remnants of Hail, Varsity! stuck in your head for days.

—No more “Can You Feel It?” at kickoff. Who cares that Frost didn’t like it?? All the more reason to bring it back. That’ll teach ‘em.

—Any talk about lowering capacity into the 70,000s. That home field advantage we had for Colorado? Do whatever you have to do to keep it.

—injured kickers

—Biggest pet peeve: losing close games where a mentally tough team that’s strong in the trenches would have made the difference.

The Simba cam & the dumb gopher with a corn head singing the beginning of “Day-O (the banana boat song). Both fricken annoy me at the games.

Wonder what happened? Terrible call to move away from what they were doing. I can’t believe how active and involved the marching band used to be—even in road games—compared to now.

1. Seats that are designed to fit horse jockeys.
2. That negative guy a few rows behind you who broadcasts his opinion loud enough so that everyone around him has to hear it because, you know, he's so much smarter than everyone else.
3. The players playing scared to lose when the game is on the line.

They've been administrated to oblivion. And honestly watered down over the past couple of decades. I was a part of that in the late 80's and you had to try out and there were cuts. Now anyone who signs up is in. The band had an edge, played a lot more, traveled en masse to away games, etc. There was a traveling trophy for the best band back in the Big 8 days.

Cool part was our morning practices overlapped the team practices, so we got to hang out with a bunch of the cool players. Played some impromptu pick up games with Johnny Mitchell, Broderick Thomas, and Neil Smith. Those guys were a lot of fun and were big supporters of having the band (back in those days the team voted whether the band could go to the bowl game because it came out of the athletic budget).

The inevitable annual questions on when blackshirts will be handed out and who gets them. Who cares - just put a stout defense on the field that plays at a high level and lives up to the historical legacy of the blackshirts.
