W and L the 2010 Schedule

[GM816]

Don't have time to respond to every post from an NU poster, so allow me to summarize:

1. No team can mitigate a loss better than NU. It seems that they NEVER actually get beat. (Well we held you to XXXX yards, blah, blah, blah). Don't pay attention to the score, because it doesn't really matter, unless.....

2. We've beaten you for 100 years, and then isn't that all that matters? I mean, yeah, ISU got 8 turnovers and won the game, but it was just a fluke, we're still NU and were relevant about 20 years ago. They will bring up some historical argument as if something that happened when the current players were literally in elementary school, or even born, has any impact on the game actually played in 2010 or the upcoming game in 2011.


When they don't have scoreboard, they bring up statistics like "we held you to so many yards", or "it took 8 TO's to win that game", but they rarely (if ever) mention the final score. As best I can tell, the score still remains 31 - 10 Tech. (What a great offensive display. I mean hell, your offense scored for both you and us.)

And while talking about great offenses, they don't turn the ball over 8 times. But if I give you the benefit of the doubt, and they are a great offense, wouldn't that make ISU's defense that more dominant. I mean, they did get 8 TO's on your great offense.

And while we are talking about 8 TO's consider this: If NU had 8 TO's surely we wouldn't hear about how great the blackshirts are. Surely it was a fluke. Right?

Yep, no one can mitigate a loss better than NU.

Both your points are pretty weak. No Husker fan has cited that Nebraska will win next year because of history or the last 100 years. Only you have brought that up, most of the time just as another way to bring up that "Nebraska hasn't been relevant for xxxxx years". And your second point? No Husker fan cited Nebraska's offense as "great" let alone good. Nebraska's offense last year was awful. Everyone knows that.

The only reason we are "mitigating losses" is because some posters use last years game as a reason that ISU will beat Nebraska this year. And if you're one of those people, I'd like to do a little sportsbooking with you.

Since you obviously think that history has no impact, lets erase every previous game in the series from our memories. So we forget the 70 something times NU has beaten ISU. But to reciprocate, we must also forget about last year's game, among the few times ISU has beaten NU. Then do you STILL expect ISU to beat Nebraska next year?

He's a Texas Tech fan.

I expect ISU to beat Nebraska. See, I'm a fan, and that's what I do.

And I don't think that the Huskers are that impressive at all.

And I think that's fine. It's the Husker fans that act like we shouldn't go in looking for the win that are annoying.

Go ahead and expect that. You're supposed to do that.

You replied like you thought it was an ISU fan. nm disregard it...

You are 5-3 in teh last 8 games against one of the worst BCS football schools. Congrats dude.

At least we handed you a game in OT as well as turnovers to win in 2007.

We should be 5-3 against YOU.

BUT we handed you a couple games. You handed us one.. so i guess we are even.

Unless you have to go back further than 8 years to get your rocks off on your team

fact. nu is the most overrated program in all of college football. every one of their precious MNCs can be argued as bogus. there was a better team each year. time for america to get over the knubbies.

 

[HerkyHawk]

:biggrin:

I'm thinking 6-6, 7-5. I don't think we get Utah, and we'll probably only get one W from the NU/MU games. Otherwise, I agree.

7 wins with the bowl game sounds about right, not to bad for having the 1 rated schedule in the nation!!!! Go hawks

2000-2009 was the absolute worst decade of Nebraska football in over a half century, yet all Iowa State could muster against NU during that time period is 4-6. Heck, Iowa State couldn't even find a way to win more games against Bill Callahan than they lost. Bill Callahan...one of the worst football coaches on the planet...and Iowa State went 2-2 aganst him. Now there's something to hang your hat on!

Here's to 2010-2019 sucking even more. Cheers!

I open this thread for the first time, go to the last page, and SURPRISE a ******* match with Husker and Hawk fans has erupted! Raise your hand if this surprises you at all.

(Does not raise hand)

1970 - Doubtful: #4 ND beat #1 Texas:yes: in the Cotton Bowl #2 Team (Auburn?) lost in their bowl game, #3 NU beat #5 LSU but ND was 10-1 and NU was 11-0-1

1971 - NO WAY: NU beat the following teams ranked at the end of the year #2 OU, #3 CU and #4 Alabama

1994 - Probable: Both Penn St and NU were undefeated

1995 - NOPE: NU 62, #2 Florida 24 no other team was undefeated, enough said

1997 - Most shakey. Was a split with Michigan - were jockeying back and forth all season for #1. But did finish more strongly in its bowl than Michigan (they were just as lucky to win against WSU as NU was with the flea kicker against MU so that balances out)

So I would agree with you that 2 of the titles were toss ups with another team. I wouldn't call any of them bogus, though

Good luck this season in all your games except 1

Either gravity or reality is affecting the ability of my hands to raise. Or maybe they work together on something like this.
