I've been sitting on this for about a year now. I've lost sleep over this but I just don't have the time or the guts to take this on. My idea was to write an open letter to Faux about how the trophy was born of the internet and should stay that way. My idea is that their shouldn't be a physical trophy but a digital one shared between Minnesota and Nebraska fans, or lots of trophies traded back and forth between fans matched up somehow on the internet. It's a broken chair it can't cost that much. Have everyone post their creations on social media, get a retweet from Faux himself. The fans and their counterpart from the opposing fan base can meet up at tailgates and talk about what has transpired over the past year and the game to come. People could Photoshop their creations into their man cave, have fun with it the only way you can on the internet. That way both universities are not associated with it and the fans esp. those on the net can still have fun with it. I even created a twitter account to champion the cause, but like I said I just don't have the time, energy or guts to champion such a cause.

Above 10 wins or below 5 are the only scenarios that would surprise me. Split the different and went with 8-4

I don't know what you did different that time but I'm in.

I'm not getting it. The email in my account setup is correct, I checked my spam folder, nada.

What did he do at ND? Does anybody know?

Agree'd you need at least one "yeller" on your staff.

I'm down. Send me an invite and I'll join if their is still a spot.

Those two level headed chill guys? Nah /s I think the truth is closer to this. He is an interesting character. I Hope he works out at Nebraska not just for our success but because he'll be fun to watch.

I noticed this too and was surprised. It seemed like he went to great effort to NOT say "Notre Dame" or "Irish" or "South Bend",....something......, I found it odd.

Not to worry, they won't need to give it back. I watched that Documentary on PJ Fleck and he scares me.

$3 Gill $2 Green (a bargin imo but we're stacked at this position) $4 Westy - had trouble with this one, could have saved money and got Bell but Westy just seemed tougher even though they both had injury problems $1 1999 had to skimp somewhere $5 Had to have Oz, and make room for the rest. This is brilliant, the money really makes it challenging, I had to think on this for awhile.

Thanks for the Ark. State perspective. Count me among those nervous about this game for the Huskers.

I'm pessimistic. Most of the O/U I've seen have us at between 6 and 7 1/2 wins. I think another /meh season and the dreaded apathy starts to sink in more for the causal Nebraska fan. Then 2018 is a real beast.

Why no Ark. State?

Really??? We have lost 6 games or more 4 times in the last 2.5 decades. I'm not down on us but we haven't shown that we can just bounce back and reload. We've been barely above average and with the now unknowns it's easy to see why they are predicting a drop off. Honestly I think the change in personel has us primed for a breakout this season. But I can understand pundits seeing a decline rather than a breakout if you just gloss over our roster and who've we've lost. I don't think that is accurate and I could really see us being a huge surprise, and I don't mind that. Well...those "pundits" are lazy then and just pulling crap that easy out of their back sides. The biggest change in personnel on the team is behind center at QB. I don't believe I have read a report from a QB camp that Lee has been to even before he became a Husker that doesn't have people ranting about his talent throwing the ball. He is also tailer made for this system. Now, I don't expect these people to all of a sudden predict we are going to win the conference. But, like I said earlier, predicting a 9-10 win season doesn't produce clicks for these articles. The radical thing to do is to predict the former juggernaut is in the tank and not going to recover. In other words, these types of predictions are based on what is going to make the media money. Not on reality that is recognized by actually researching something. Yes, but a lot of Vegas sites are putting the O/U for wins at around 7. They tend to know their stuff and that scares me.

I remember a LA beat writer making a joke about this during the Callahan days when we played USC. Something like one fat chick sits down at one end of the bench and knocks one off the other end or something like that. A lot of Husker Fans got butt hurt, I thought it was funny. Now it's true.

This is my favorite and probably least likely (other than a yearly game with Miami) This is the only thing that makes me care, otherwise meh.

I've seen enough predictions about us winning around 6 or 7 games. Now I'd like to hear somebody ask the team and coach how they feel about it. Like when they asked Coach Miles about being picked to finish last in the Big Ten.

I've seen a lot of this offseason, what was Vegas saying going into last year? Does anyone remember?

I read the story, a very interesting guy, picturing him as a programmer is kind of difficult. Comp Sci. is a tough major but I'm sure he'll excel at that too. I can't remember the last D-1 college player I heard majoring in Comp. Sci.

Saw this on cnn today. I'd take him.

I could see a 5-7 season happening, don't want to but I don't take Ark State lightly, we slip up against them, then Oregon,.....0-2 just like that... Like most I worry about our O-Line and I can't see a new defense just sliding in with no problems. I'm not saying it's for sure going to happen, but it wouldn't surprise me.

We have a 37% chance of beating Northwestern?? In Lincoln?!? Fortunately HB has an emoti for this type of tripe: Yeah, that was the one where my jaw really hit the floor.
