Big Ten Preseason Media Poll
- Thread starter HuskerWeatherman
- Start date
Nebraska’s ceiling has been higher than all of those teams since it got to the BIG. Nothing new here. They key is, figuring out why it constantly can’t reach it. I think we know why, at least to date.
I remember the days when Nebraska was the poster child for "static and stable". And your right - nobody can say what we will look like this season due to all the changes.
Do I think we should ranked that low? No.Released today.

Have we done anything to prove that we should be higher? No.
I certainly would hope the tide turns and we are at least in the top half of the division. Just need to prove that we can do it, by actually doing it.
Man dude, if they lose to NW, all hell will break loose. I’ve been saying for months, but it’s as must win of a game as they’ve had in a long long time.
It certainly wouldn't be good to put it mildly. However it's still a single game with 11 more to follow. Should everyone including the coaches and team write off the season because of a loss to NW? That would be absolutely ridicilous imo and I wouldn't expect the coaches, players, fans to disappear in a black hole. It would mean however that things certainly aren't looking good to start the new season.
Lets just hope the team doesn't have to deal with that scenario. It's a GAME and therefore anything can happen and usually does. There's been many upsets in college football and a lot larger than Nebraska losing to NW. If we lose obviously there's going to be a lot of very unhappy and upset Husker fans to say the least.

It’s not writing off the season with an opening loss. It’s planting a deeper seed, uh oh, here we go again mantra. That’s hard as hell to overcome. This team needs wins badly. Not saying they couldn’t overcome a loss to NW, but damn, they’ve got to make things easier on themselves. The negativity would boil over with a loss. And let’s also be honest here, Northwestern isn’t any good, although I do expect them to be well prepared.
Sounds about right
And they have the best college receiver I personally have ever watched
