Sometimes you just have to stop the excuses
Sometimes they aren’t excuses but realities.

We should have won regardless of the refs, I agree with you.

But that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t have the expectation that the refs will call things the same both ways.

Somethings you have no control over. To be successful, you have to ignore those things and focus on the things you do have control over. That 4th and inches play call boggles the mind. Also, the playing prevent D in the final tying drive (in regulation) by NWU was weak.

Yes and I agree. I get the 4th and inches call I guess, due to the fact our 4th and 1 stats are something like -5 yards rushing. The coaches need to come up with a play that can get a yard on 4th down. Period.

The prevent D is never good. Ever. No arguments there.

Saying that poor officiating played a role in the outcome of the game is a valid and relevant topic to discuss. It doesn’t change that we aren’t a good team but it could have led to a win for us today.

This is a mental problem with some of our fans. Blaming the refs when you are 0-6 is the epitome of the victim mentality.

And it is also a comprehension problem for some of our fans who want to absolve the refs of any bad calls they make.

The reality is, it’s somewhere in between.

No one is saying the refs influenced any outcome other than today. We are a bad team. But are you saying the refs can’t influence the outcome of a game?

this loss was not because of referring.....

Frost keeps telling us that these players don't know how to win.....mmmmm...I don't think he does either (and don't tell me he brought an 0-11 team back and last year he went 13-0 ....with ucf...UCF in the AAC.....and don't bring up Oregon because HE was not the head coach)

With that said....I do think Frost is the only coach for Nebraska at this moment in time. But it amazes me how people on here give him an automatic pass on every bad coaching decision and every mismanaged game he is involved with.

He keeps saying the players need to step up and buy into what is happening here....well, he needs to step up also...and his entire coaching staff. Haven't seen anything from this staff that any other staff may be able to accomplish. Okay...now you're going to say these aren't his recruits....after seeing this mess will he be able to get "his" recruits? we will see.
