19th is great! I hope we're ranked when the year starts out, because we should absolutely knock out wins until we host Ohio State at home. That game will be hard, but they'll be without Urban Meyer at the helm and playing us at home, which bodes well.

The only thing that's loaded that Hawkeye fans can look forward to would be the baked potatoes at their local Golden Corral. :)
I meant to ask you, do you live in Pitt? Do you know anything about Dylan Jordan?

Given who we have coming back, and who we have coming in, and our much easier schedule, with a little luck and improved defensive play, I could see us running the table in the regular season next year. And no... I am not drunk.
The more I look at the schedule, the more I could see it happening. There is not a team on that schedule that I don't think we can beat. Of course a lot of things have to go right for it to happen, so I hate actually predicting it, but it's not as far out of the realm of possibility as some might think.

I work in Pittsburg about 2 miles from the high school. I live across the line in Missouri. I haven't heard any news on him. Until the other offers came out, I figured he would stay home & attend Pittsburg State. Pretty sure, the Gorillas are no longer on the table with him. If I hear anything, I will post quickly. I may try to sneak away on signing day & check out his decision. Of course, unless he decides to pull the trigger & commit before then.

Exactly. Do I think we WILL run the table? Probably not. Our recent history should give us all a healthy dose of anti-koolaid drinking realism. However, I agree with you. In terms of raw talent there is only one team on the schedule who is quite a bit beyond us - - Ohio State. But we played them tough in Columbus last year and they will have a new head coach. So who knows? As for the rest of our schedule there is only one other team that we will need "luck" to beat and that is Wisconsin. But it too is in Lincoln and we are due for some breaks to go our way.

And this is the same Board that bashed me for saying I'd be a little disappointed if we didn't get 10 wins????? Psycho

I kind of thought that other kid at Pitt High, Dylan White, might end up at PSU, but he is staring to get offers too. Visited NDSU last week.

That was not what you got bashed for. You got bashed for saying our recruiting class was a little disappointing and for the nonsensical idea that we could win the West Division but couldn't even compete for the conference championship despite the fact that it only takes winning one more game to win the conference championship if you are winning your Division.

Please go back and see who I quoted in my post in the other thread.
Once again, my bad... :) apologized in the other thread as well.

At the same time, I was also poking fun at the other poster in the other thread who called Pennsy negative. It was truehusker and someone else...

You could have been a jerk to me here for wrongly calling you out, but you were cool about it. Thanks! And respect...

Wisconsin, NW, and Iowa are also ranked.

Wisconsin plays Mich and OSU
Iowa - Mich and PSU
NW plays OSU

We have all 3 at home. We should win the division. No talk of Riley or other excuses. If we have elite coaching we should be playing in Indy for the conf championship.

There are several on here who are nothing but negative about Nebraska, you wonder why they’re even Husker fans but Pennsy isn’t one of them. They could easily find a different person to jump on for being such..

Who was the Iowa fan on here the other day questioning whether NU would get any top 25 predictions?
This is an Iowa fan. Take everything they say as fiction. They have no facts or logic to their claims. Just BS. Iowa and UCF are very similar, they spend most of their time in fantasy land.

I would love to win the west. How many wins will that take 8, 9, 10 maybe?

Lets get to 6 wins to get the bowl monkey off our back and then we can see if we are in a position do some damage.

Not trying to be a Debbie Downer but how many times do we have to hear the same song but a different verse?

The Huskers motto in 2019 should be, "This is Next Year!"

Thanks for telling us husker fans on a husker website to not set the bar too high.

I guess the lower the better, huh?

If we can make a big jump on stopping the run, we'll be able to beat every team on the schedule. Until then, it's a crapshoot.

Bomber as been on here a long time and is a Husker fan - I am excited for next year but honestly the last few have been so bad I would be happy with a bowl season at this point - I think we need to see a vastly improved defense before we have a chance at even winning the west. I do think our offense alone gets us to a bowl game

I’ve seen bomber around for a long time as well… I know he is a husker fan. I just don’t get why husker fans have to tell other husker fans not to get their hopes up on a husker chat board. That’s all.

Why 6 years? Isn’t that living in the past?

Mike Riley is no longer at Nebraska. I know you guys can’t quite grasp that (while yapping about fantasy land) but it’s the reality of the situation. You scraped by a 4-8 team running an entirely new offense with a first year head coach and a true freshman QB..lol
