My way early B1G record predictions.....

    I agree that all of those games will be close. And IMO the game vs. Bama is ... well, dumb (read: not in your best interest) because you'll be beat-up for the game the following week against AF. Although after AF you have UMass, so you should be recovered by then.... and ready for ND in week 4.

    Well this seems true to me: your passing game takes a step back and your run game a step forward. My original point (which people disagree with and so remains to be seen) is that your passing game regresses enough that opposing D's don't really need to respect it thereby allowing the D to focus almost exclusively on the run, which in turn hinders your O.

    Agree to disagree on your last point. I respect your opinion and I appreciate a non-homer perspective.

    Unfortunately when Michigan scheduled that Bama game there was still optimism in regards to the Rich Rod era. It was scheduled during his first off-season I believe, and if stuff had gone as planned Michigan in year 5 under Rich Rod would have been prepared for Bama. Our depth and talent just isn't what it needs to compete with Bama unless we got very lucky.

    I don't think it's not necessarily in our best interests though, sure we may get beat up physically, but Hoke's teams won't be soft. I think it will be a good test, and will give our team some experience and a good test early in the year. I still think we walk all over Air Force, their option is a test, but Mattison is such a good coach I think we will be ready for it.

  • NE won't lose 3 conf games this yr. NU was a let down last yr, won't happen again. Wiscy comes to Lincoln for a thrashing, along with Meatchicken & Penn is st. We will prolly lose to OSU or MSU or both, but that's it. Pelini's D is gonna be back to form & the O has a lot of fire power. T- Magic is better than y'all think, he had higher comp% & less picks than D-Rob last yr & will be Heisman ready this yr:) GBR

    Wonder what that means for hearing the fight song.

  • I knew someone would balk at that, but I wasn't sure what the proper abbreviation was UM or MU. See, I'm new in the B1G & having trouble with all the Ms Ns &Is. Don't be embarrassed, we are not all as polite as you:) GBR

    Michigan is shorter than Meatchicken, so your abbreviation thing doesn't hold weight.

    Meatchicken? That's something I would expect from MSU or OSU fans. I thought Husker fans were supposed to be different. Guess not.

    Let's argue about it why don't we? Didn't know there was a nickname police, is it OK to use Bama as a nickname? Or Sparty? Wiscy? Sideways purple Z's? Cocks? Hogs? I think it's OK if you call us Huskers or even Shuckers or if you must, Cornholers:) you guys are so sensitive, but hilarious :) GBR

    I'm fine. I've been dealing with fans who make up cute little 8 year old nicknames to call us for years. It says far more about you than me. You will fit right in with the rest of our rivals.

    I must admit, Meatchicken is my favorite 8 yr old nickname of all.

    Are you guys having any fun at all? Or is it all serious business? Too serious if you ask me? # 1 no one has told us wether it's MU or UM yet, #2 I'm down here in SEC territory, where I am constantly harassed about my N hat, & I give as good as I get, cuz I got thick skin, I have to be tough, I'm a Husker fan. #3 If y'all are so civilized on here that this has turned into a kangaroo court to judge my worthiness or childishness, then why not stick to the subject at hand & tell me why my opinion about next season is wrong( or right) instead of whiiiiiiiining about a nickname? OMG this has been hillarious, I'm gonna do my spelling homework now.

    I gave my opinion on the first page. I predicted UM (yes, it's UM ... who would use MU?) would win the Legends and Nebraska would come in second.
