neepster Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 So, the latest power rankings now have us (best case) predicted to be 4-8 (with likely wins only over Rutgers and Illinois). And that is using the best possible methods of calculating the odds. Realistically we could be 3-9 or even worse. Best case seems to be maybe 5-7, but the team would have to get significantly better. You can play with the math but things don't look good... Oh and their estimate is a 0.1% chance of winning the division.... 4 Quote Link to comment

TGHusker Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 I thought at worse we'd be 7-5 before the season started. Knowing we were a safety and a bobbled/dropped TD pass by Ark State from being 0-3 now - I think 5-7 is optimistic now. Time for the regents to put together their AD screening committee. 1 Quote Link to comment

I would love to beat Wisconsin, but even if it is a night game the atmosphere at Memorial Stadium will be so deflated and depressed going into that game that I don't think it is going to be much of an advantage. We beat Rutgers, lose to Illinois. Riley pulls off his once a year upset over Penn State if he hasn't completely lost the team by then. Quote Link to comment

I never in a million years thought I would find myself siding with Bo Pelini, but here we are. Sean Eichorst is a JV Athletic Director. I'd say it to his face if I ever got the chance. The guy is a complete and total loser. Has no idea what it takes to lead and successfully run a high level college football program. His hire was questionable when it happened and it remains questionable to this day (sound familiar?) But at least we have a head coach now that will answer questions nicely and make Sam McKewon laugh at press conferences. 8 minutes ago, skers44 said: will riley be here by Penn State if we are 2-8 by then? lol It's worth noting that the stats say we have less of a chance to beat PSU than we do to beat tOSU.... 4% vs. PSU vs. 5% for tOSU...

Huskerfan55 Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 I had said 5-7 at the beginning of the year made a bet with a Kool-aide drinker who said 10-3. The fact is Riley really has no clue and you can see it on the sidelines during the game. I have been watching Husker football since 1962 and I no longer want to watch or listen. I dont think I have ever missed a game except maybe for a wedding but even then you were slipping out to catch a radio broadcast. This is sad but good thing is AD will be gone and along with Pedersen he is worst things to ever happen to Husker Football. 2 Quote Link to comment
