JGS30, KU has beaten NU how many times recently? I don't care about the score last season. No one on this board does accept you, its the only thing you have on us right now and you are beating it to death. We do have good reason to be optimistic and if you have nothing better to do than talk up your Jayhawks because they had one good season and won a BCS game then do it on the KU board. It's about time KU did something in the last 100 or so years of having a football team. Cool, you had a good year, congrats. Now lets see if you can keep from getting thrown back out the door and being walked on by the rest of us real football programs who have actually accomplished something for a longer period of time than just one year.
No. You're absolutely correct bbhusker. We haven't accomplished much. I won't get on here and claim that we have. Again, the only reason I got on here stompin and raving was because I'm sick of everyone predicting a win over KU with nothing to go off of accept that the crowd will win the game. That's everyones entire argument on how NU will beat KU this year. Crowd's don't win games, it's the players. Emotion is great for the first 5 minutes, maybe even a quarter-Nebraska proved that last year in Lawrence. But sooner or later the better team takes over the game, and I strongly doubt your defense will be able to contain the KU offense for 4 quarters.
The part I think you are forgetting hear is coaching. Nebraska has every bit as talented of players as KU. It's no secret that last year before NU even played Kansas that the team had lost its trust in the coaches and system on defense. Pelini is a players coach, these guys are believeing and also have a chip on their shoulder with something to prove. Your team happens to know this senerio very well. Pelini's track record speaks for itself. Pelini will be calling the defense and we have retained our offensive coodinator. Mind you that last year we put up 36 points on your vaunted defense with a QB that was making his 1st career start. I happen to believe that the game will be very close but it is not out of the question for NU to win.
You're forgetting this is Kansas land. Jayhawk fan's aren't deterred by these little facts. Yeah, their gritty home-grown defense got smoked for 484 yards and their disciplined secondary gets to answer for 405 of them. Ganz made a few bad decisions, the crowd played a factor, and we didn't field a defense. Had we played anywhere but the Twilight Zone this would have been an entirely different game.
This is what Kansas fans need to understand. I'm not predicting a sure-fire win. What I'm predicting is a game Kansas sure as hell better not overlook,
especially if they're doing well at that point in the season. Nebraska's offensive production will probably stay reasonably stable. We're going to run the ball. You're not going to see as much of Reesing. Mangino is going to have to scheme against Bo freakin' Pelini. No offense, but cupcake-munching Kansas isn't the worst monster Pelini's ever had to watch on film. Just ask Ohio State.
It'll be a fun game once it gets here. Nobody can make accurate picks at this point, but going off the info, 10-3 is almost laughable. Believe it or not Kansas is still a team with something to prove. You guys aren't sitting on the hills of the promise land drinking tea. You overachieved against weak opponents. Congratulations. Now let's see what Mangino can do against some real tests.
And of course the Huskers. My oh my will I enjoy wiping the slate clean and ending that pathetic little streak once and for all.
