The Stupidity of Nebraska Fans

Well at least one of them. I frequently like to visit a few Husker message boards and as I've posted previously on this blog, they are now regularly engaging in debate on the GT offense and its viability in big time college football. I personally believe that some Nebraska fans are still so shellshocked from the late 80s/early 90s thumpings by Miami and Florida State, that they view anything associated with the "triple option" as an offense that simply cannot succeed against those fast speedy southern teams from today.

Now, I don't belong to Huskerpedia so I can't directly respond to this complete horses ass named SWVAHusker but here's one of the all time most moronic statements ever put on a message board-ANYWHERE:

They play in the ACC and got waxed by Miami's speed. They'll continue to get waxed by Miami's speed yearly unless Miami plays undisciplined or GT recruits superior talent. They'll have a major drop off next year IMO. Good luck recruiting for that system too.

No chance that team is any better than #4-5 in the Big 12.

I want the Oregon offense. Chip Kelly=Coach of the Year in both the Pac-10 and nationally IMO."

First, let's point out the obviously fallacies in this fools asinine commentary:

1.) "They play in the ACC"
Seems to me that Mr Know it All believes this offense just sort of got invented last year. The offense you're alluding too has been around for 3 decades. It is a spread option, just like the Chip Kelly offense you're so enamored with. And it has worked with amazing success no matter where it has been implemented-GA Southern, Hawaii, Navy and now GA Tech. It has worked against top teams from BCS conferences. I challenge you to actually do some homework and read through my well-researched information I've posted on this blog. Read the success GA Southern had against a 10 win Oregon State team coached by Dennis Erickson. Read the success Hawaii had against a great Illinois team in a bowl game. According to Sagarin, GT has the 12th toughest schedule in the country right now. Certainly the ACC is no juggernaut but what conference is??

2.) "They got waxed by Miami speed and will continue to get waxed"
I'm not into excuse making but here's how it is-GT was playing their third game in 12 days. They were playing a night game on national television against a team they embarrassed the year before by the tune of nearly 500 yards rushing (did Miami get that much faster in one year's time)? They didn't execute and thus, when any offense doesn't execute, they're not going to look good. Is Miami that much faster than Florida State? I believe longtime FSU coordinator Mickey Andrews said this year that this was his fastest defense he's ever had. So how did GT score 49 points on FSU? Oh and how did your mighty Chip Kelley offense get held to 8 points against those pasty white guys from Boise State?? I guess that one game is a referendum on how the Chip Kelly offense won't work against slow teams? Sounds logical right?

3.) "No chance that team is any better than #4-5 in the Big 12"
Oh really? Because the powerful Big 12 is so...powerful right? I mean GT would have no shot against the likes of Kansas State, Iowa State, Texas A&M, Baylor, Colorado, Texas Tech or Nebraska. Not only does Mr Bright Light make a definitive statement, he backs it up with all sorts of statistics and scientific evidence-no he really doesn't. Do you see why this is so frustrating?

4.) "They'll have a major dropoff next year IMO"
This is the statement that proves the poster doesn't know a thing other than to regurgitate some talking points probably gleaned off another message board like jackasshuskerfaniwanttothrowtheballalloverbecauseweneedtoget5starrecruits.com. GT has 6 scholarship seniors on their roster. Unlike Nebraska, Paul Johnson is working with players recruited for a whole different system. And no, the recruiting is not dropping off. Check Rivals if you're into star rankings. Fortunately for GT, Paul Johnson could care less about what some dipcrap know-nothing website says about talent evalution. He recruits players that fit into his system.

More than likely though, said poster's delusional and ill informed statements are merely a reflection of believing that the spread option scheme employed by GT is simply a gimmick offense that could never work at a big time program Nebraska. Now that I've taken poster to the woodshed, I'll resume my regular blogging. One more before I resume...

Mr SWVA-two questions for you since you seem to be the almighty answer to anything football related:
Do you think Tom Osborne's Nebraska's offense from 1994, 1995, 1996 and 1997 work succesfully against this year's Miami team?
How did Tom Osborne ever recruit any talented players to the mid-90s teams with that old outdated offense? I'm amazed Nebraska ever won a game, let alone any national titles. I mean didn't the recruiting class with Christian Peter get rated #42 in the nation?
