I'd like a flurry but I don't want a blizzard. A blizzard could scare some fans away and I want Jack Trice to be absolutely packed.
I like the SI predictions!
- Thread starter acoustimac
- Start date
I agree I prefer a B1G West dominated by Wisconsin and Nebby. Much better than having Iowa in the mix.
How can this piece be given overly serious consideration with Nebbie called to be a champion? Well maybe it can be 50% correct with us living up to the prediction and N not. But, 100% wrong is more likely for us and Nebbie. A+ for effort though and I like this.

Beautiful thing about living in CO is if things go south, I am just a short drive to a worthy ledge....
I went to one game last season. Kansas State. Yes, I stayed until the end.
I'm going to one game this season. Texas. Please give me late fall Iowa weather. Happily take 48 degrees and clear.
That may be, but I was at the 8 degrees at kickoff and falling Kansas night game and it was apparent that those Kansas players wanted nothing to do with playing that night and Lawrence is not anywhere near as far south as Austin. The 20,000 - or whatever there were - fans there that night were more than enough to intimidate that team that didn't want to be there in the first place. I believe that Tech played on a cold day in Ames recently and it was also apparent that the team just wanted to get the game over with. Nobody has more Texans on their squad than Texas (only 30 of 115 players are from outside Texas) and the majority (22) of the non Texans are from southern states. A cold and nasty day/night can be a big advantage because pretty much the entire team hasn't played in those conditions.
Ehhh, Texa$ has enough $'s to buy Mother Nature off...70 degrees at kick.

Hear me out here. It's just an option, but what about a glorious season AND you're rolling around on the ground holding your junk?
Just working through the options here.
Was there for the KU game. There was something oddly fun about that game. The KU players literally didn't want to be there, but I think that had as much to do with them having nothing to play for as it did that they weren't used to the cold.
Welp, guess it's a good thing we stuck around the Big-12 and didn't drop to a lower conference like some of the folks on here were suggesting a few years back when Winning was not yet in our repertoire. Wish I could find those posts but searching on here is a pain the ass.
To be honest, I’m fine with trouncing them on a beautiful Fall day. Why give their fans am excuse?
