[Husker] Unreal

I agree with Josh.  Booing the coaches or even bad play in general is 
one thing.  To single out specific players and boo them on their last 
game at Memorial Stadium is crossing the line.  By the end of the 
season, these players will have been through enough.  Am I saying that 
the players are not responsible for any miscues and everything falls on 
the coaches?  No, but they are not getting millions a year just for 
"showing up."  They are here because they wanted to play at Nebraska.  
Don't fault them for that.  Under almost any other coach, I doubt they'd 
be in this mess.

>There is plenty of blame to go around.  I think the players in general have given up.  This team is poorly coached, but there is a lack of senior leadership.  I didn't see effort this week or last. Ultimately it's the players who play the games and this year's team is an embarrassment!  The coaches will probably be replaced at the end of the season and perhaps several of the freshman and sophomores will move on as well.  I get the impression that many of the players are going through the motions and can't wait for the season to end.  On senior day it will be interesting to see how many of the seniors get booed as they are introduced.  Several of them deserve to have their careers end in that manner.
