Reading all of these posts, I'm reminded of what it used to feel like when we'd enter a season being nationally ranked and actually relevant. It's been a while. I'm excited to feel that way again in about 5 weeks!
Confidence level
- Thread starter Ewooc
- Start date
Minnesota hung around with Ohio state until 3rd quarter. Not to mention you are coming into Minnesota & Minnesota d under new coordinator played shut down for last 10 Quarters. But yeah .Minnesota also has two of the nation's Top WR's
Anything over 7 wins should give cause for celebration in Lincoln. Yes improvements is on the horizon but you completely overlook the rest of the conference getting better, filling recruiting needs, improving facilities and coaching getting better. The rest of the B1G isn’t standing still because Nebraska thinks they are improving.
Thanks for stopping by Little Penis
Yeah, I know they will be better, I just don't think they are good enough to beat us.
Of what’s coming. Don’t feel bad, you’re not the only one.

Yep and Minnesota also got completely BLOWN OUT by the Huskers too. 53 to 28...So there’s that as well.

Ok. I just love it when these dimwits come over here and tell us what our expectations should be.
Apparently you and your team. When you’re coming to a HUSKER BOARD just to see what we are talking about and then go as far as to chime in to spout your BS out...yep, yea scared like a little biotch.
I've been burned by buying into the pre-season hype several times. Whatever the odds of beating team X or team Y are, they are odds as of the summer. The odds will change as games are played. I do think NU's win/loss trajectory changed dramatically last year as a result of a large thunderstorm. If that first game is played, I think NU beats CU the following week, AM likely doesn't get injured and NU ends something like 7-5.
NU has a lot of talent on the roster. Recruiting has been the best of the West and in the upper third of the league. The problem has never been talent, but preparing the talent mentally and physically to perform at a high level. Bo got the players to play hard for him, but too many B1G coaches had his number when it came to game day. Mike Riley was retrograde in terms of program quality.
With this schedule, if NU plays to their level of talent and with sufficient desire, they should be favored in all games except tOSU.

Yup, he had one more season of winning 9 games at Nebraska then the wheels were going to fall off hard.
I'm ecstatic Frost will finally get Nebraska back on the winning-something-meaningful track and he'll do it often!!
When that's the only accomplishment Bo had, it's trash for a program like Nebraska. Not sure why people try to make that out to be a great thing? If a conference championship or two were tied to that then yes, you'd have a point. But he didn't and as already stated the program was trending down the longer Bo stayed, not up.
Now Que "only a handful of other coaches ever accomplished that" or "well it's better than what MR ever did".
They fired thier defensive coordinator, haven’t you heard?
Now I don't know if you're an Iowa fan, but you definately sound like an Iowa fan.
Our expectations are championship level football every year.
So if you ever get it in your mind to mosey on over and tell us what to expect in the coming footbal season regarding the Cornhuskers, just remember the answer is Championship.
He's used to expectations for Iowa. 7-5 is about average for them.
Games are played on the field over a tough 12 week stretch. Not played on paper or in the mind.
“I think we all agree that Ferentz is an ok coach but not a coach who can take a team to that championship level. Bo couldn't even match him.” And on the flip side of that, Bo Pelini was 3-1 against Iowa, with the one and only lose coming to Ferentz and Iowa was when Tommy Armstrong got hurt and didn’t play the game and we had our WALK ON QB playing. Bo did NOT do well against the BIG boy teams but he owned Iowa and Ferentz. And Bo’s Huskers was one of the few teams to beat Dabo Swinney and Clemson right when they started getting hot (one of the few, big quaility wins he had). Bro you know me, I’m no Bo Pelini fan but I’ll also give credit where is due.
Clemson was decent then but nothing special. I believe that was both Dabo and Pelinis first season. Hell, it wasn’t too long ago that WVU dropped 70 on them in a bowl game. Clemson has been a much different animal since then.
Learn how to spell if you're gonna come here and drop weak *** burns.
I'll take what SF did, something NO other coach has done,from 0-12 to 13-0.
We lost ground under Bo slower than we did under MR, and so what?
We never ever ever ever should have a walkon qb as 2nd string, especially a running qb.
Now yes, SF had to play one early because Vedral got no snaps because of the ncaas slow decision making, but even so, that was after changing systems and losing two real qbs, not wide outs or rbs who can throw like under Bo.
Bo wasnt capable to do well against the higher competition, his recruiting his culture and his coaching (Gordons still running,using the same play) showed this,it was him.
Actually good catch, I had my years screwed up there. Well with that, his biggest wins where OU and OSU Buckeyes. Outside that, he beat teams he was supposed to but couldn’t ever show up in the BIG games.
And yes, he and our Huskers should have won the BIG 12 Championship against TexAss and Colt McCoy. I still hate TexAss and the BIG 12 refs because of that screw job.

Agreed. Reportedly, the AD has already budgeted for "undefeated" rings for a season record of 7 wins or better.
Gonna be sweet.
Well I'm certainly not going to jump up and down for 8 wins. I watch to see some men out smart, move, or muscle some other guys on a field for entertainment. I like watching players get better and win.
They play to get better and win the game. Not to get some fresh air after a hard week of pursuing enlightenment...
You know what though, I've seen Nebraska play for 6 national championships, and many conference championships winning most of them.
Who's got more reason to be disappointed, you or me?
Listening to Mo and Khalil at B1G media days, it is clear that the defense has put in extra work this summer. Darrion Daniels came in and led from the start. Mo's mindset has been getting to Lucas Oil for the title game since last season ended. It appears that the new talent is meshing well with the older guys and everyone is on the same page, pretty much a 180 from last year.
So the boys have done the work to take the next step, just hope they get a few balls to bounce their way so it can actually happen.
