This has been a pretty strange week for Nebraska football hasn't it?
Well I'm not going to talk about national anthems, because I'm sick of it. I'm ready to get back to football. By now I've just learned to get behind Mike Riley. He's a pretty level-headed, smart and mature dude.Whatever he decides is probably right.
I trusted him to make the right call when Keith Williams was arrested for pulling a Keith Williams. I also trusted him to make the right call about these national anthem protests. And he did.
In off the field issues Mike Riley is undefeated. And isn't that what really matters?
No, of course not! On Saturday we're set for a "revenge" game against Illinois.
ILLINOIS.
Losing to Illinois (And Purdue) is like losing to Glass Joe in Mike Tyson's Punch Out. That's not even supposed to be possible! If you don't get that reference kids, ask your Google. All things considered we're pretty lucky the universe didn't tear apart the instant the clock hit zero and the scoreboard read 14-13 Illinois.
Now Lovie Smith is at the helm of Illinois. Lovie is best known for once being the head coach of the only team in the state of Illinois worse than the Fighting Illini, the Chicago Bears. I expect an easy win Saturday. Of course I said the same thing last year. When you go 6-7 the year before, you can't really afford to overlook anybody. Especially when you have a legitimate chance to start 7-0 for the first time since 2001.
Wow, how did that happen? How did Mike Riley go from one of the worst coaching performances I've ever seen from a Nebraska coach to potentially one of the best?
Well it hasn't happened yet. Nebraska could still lose to Illinois tomorrow. I know there's still plenty of time for the sky to fall, yet slowly but surely I'm learning that maybe this coaching hire wasn't just some cruel sick joke by Shawn Eichorst. Maybe we can trust this Mike Riley. .
