How many wins would meet your expectations

[SavageHusker]

Definitely...but, 7 wins is a lousy expectation for this team and this coach. Regardless of the actual results, barring catastrophe, this coach and team will have incredible support moving forward. But, to expect so little this year is a sad commentary to me...the bar is set lower than it has been since 1961.

Had Riley come back, you are looking at a 2, maybe 3 win season. So to hit 7 is a massive jump. I guess my expectation is 6 or 7 with 5 the floor and 9 the ceiling.

7 or 8 is what I would be willing to bet. 9 wouldn't surprise though.

Searching and bumping.

Just get to a minimum of .500 and to a bowl game.

I think they can be better than that, but that's the threshold for where we need to be

 

[Show Me State Red]

Yes, a bowl game and look like we are ready to play each game. It’s about time non-coaches like myself can see player development and not have to read HM forum on Sunday morning to get hope.

Searching and bumping.

Sounds like a typical Tuesday afternoon.

I voted 7. I would be happy with one big upset win. Are we going to see this poll pop up again in 5 years

Well maybe 2020

I know this might be redundant so if you are offended just move along. Other polls have been based on what people think they will win or want Nebraska to win. But what number would of wins would make you feel they meet your expectations?

Just BEAT PENN STATE and I’ll be very happy.

 

[the walking red]

I voted 5, because I don't expect that there is any way to change the past.

I thought that this was from last year. Since it was 2 years ago, I'm gonna say that I voted 5 since there was no option for 4.

 

[WestTexasHusker]

My expectations are pretty low. I’m going with 5 this year. Show me something.

 

[Elwood von Kiowa]

Searching and bumping.

I used to do that a lot on weekends.

Now I'm married.

 

[Hooked on Huskers]

Nine minimum. Wishful thinking, CFP final four .

In reality, we hope bowl bound. Any bowl. And Top25 polls.

To note, this thread is from prior to the 2018 season. I was looking for Vegas projected over/unders for the 2018 season, as the search function kept giving me "too short, too common" in my word search choices.

 

[CrabHusker]

9 wins.....over a two year period. Any goober can win 9 games a year at Nebraska. It takes a unique group to win 9 of 24.

Satisfaction, guaranteed.
