UW Husky Season Preview

Honestly it'd be cool if you didn't know. Do any of us Husker fans even know all the other college football teams have nicknames for offensive and defensive units? And what they are? I don't know about you guys, but I'd have to look that up. I don't think other fans coming on here and not knowing all our lore gives them 'less credibility.'

agree, it is pretty arrogant to think of every fan knowing about all NU lore. if you know the players, coaches, and stats, you can prognosticate with anyone.

Looking at the schedule, I see the very winnable games as BYU, Syracuse, Arizona State, UCLA, Cal and Washington State. Oregon State could be a possibility since it's at home and 'Zona is right in that mix as well. That is 8 potential wins right there. The remaining 4 are Stanford (I'm higher on them than others), @ USC (they'll be looking for revenge, could be a real toughy) @ Oregon (not the most realistic bet to call a win) and the Blackshirts (even if I believed it I would project victory here; I'm outnumbered..haha).

You know you guys are gonna have to play against our offense and special teams as well? FYI, our defense is called the Blackshirts, not our entire team. You just lost a lot of credibility there, sorry.

I'm aware that it's just the D that are called the Blackshirts. The question I had received was specific to the match-up of the Nebraska defense versus the Washington offense so that stuck in my mind for the thread. Good catch, though. I don't want to come over here and sound like a foreigner, at least not anymore than I already have.

You've been courteous and polite in my opinion. Thanks for stopping by. I didn't take it as you calling our team the Blackshirts, I figured you knew what you were talking about. Happy you know our D's nickname. It should be a very good game. I am hoping Coach Bo can find a way to neutralize Locker's scrambling (Bo notices things like that on tape) and that we can come away with a win. I think the Huskies will climb out of the hole they've been in for a while and do some great things this year. Just hope it isn't against the Huskers :) .

The Blackshirts were basically our entire team last year :wacko:

It should be a tremendous atmosphere for that game, especially if both teams can get to it unscathed.

Seeing as how our opponents before that are Western Kentucky and Idaho, hopefully this won't be much of an issue.

I'd be hesitant to call Idaho a sure bet considering they are a bowl winner and have 18 returning starters.

And they kept Nebraska from scoring in the Holiday Bowl - well their game running late prevented us from seeing NU's first score on TV.
