How many players do the Huskers have out for the season? I wonder if that is their season list? Not sure how these lists work. 

Yeah, it seems to be almost different for each team. I wonder if these are new guys out for Michigan State, or if they have been out for an extended period of time. If we listed all our guys out that we’re not out to start the season, I imagine we’d have a pretty long list.

Goal today is to be 1-0! 

I’m aiming for a butt whooping so impressive today that they award us two wins.

Our chances keep going down now because of injuries on offense. Having actually won the last two games the odds of course started to go way up, but the latest round of injuries hurt the chances pretty bad.

 

Honestly though, if our defense plays like it did against Northwestern in each remaining game I don't know who is really scoring more than 17-20 points on us. We just can't seem to get away from turnovers, but at least false starts were better.

Hey guys, move it to the math forum, please.

Ames smells like pig vaccinations and rotten corn.  It literally stinks!

Don’t have too much fun, funhusker! People ‘round these parts don’t like that too much.

There so much wrong in this post. The context, the lack of respect, the name calling, the arrogance, the intent and everything in between. Just no.. I mean "Come On Man"!!

You guys are way too serious.

You logged into Huskerboard today so you could make fun of a teenage girl's name? 

No, I made some other posts and did some reading as well. Thanks for asking though.
 

She’s a professional athlete getting paid. I think it’s fair game and I’m just having fun. Calm down, dad.

Also, it was more of a dig at the city of Ames, and  the state of Iowa than anything else.

Peace out, Ayden. Dumb last name anyways. 

Do we have a majority Husker crowd for this game? Will it be like a home game? I can’t imagine many MSU fans showing up and tickets are going for $3. Seems like a lot of Husker fans would enjoy seeing us become bowl eligible in person for the first time in 7 years.

I'm very happy.  But, this seems like a very long time ago.

Yeah, you’re probably right.
 

I was a teenager in the mid-90s and I just think of those teams as the standard and fondly remember them like they were yesterday. For better or worse. 

I want to also add that I’m tickled that we are even debating these things…a bowl game, 8-9 wins, a Big 10 West title…all that in November. I think we can all agree that this is really freaking cool. It wasn’t that long ago that we were all disappointed with 9 wins, but I’m hella ecstatic right now. Haha.

I don't disagree with any of your assessments of other teams.

 

However, you are leaving out that Nebraska is also not a world beater.

 

I'll admit.  The past decade has given me some serious PTSD as a fan.  

I’m definitely not claiming us to be a world beater. But, outside of turnovers, we are playing some pretty darn sound football, especially on defense and special teams is rising. I think Iowa and Wisconsin are a lot worse than people think. And I think our guys feel like they can win now. I don’t think Michigan State, Maryland, Wisconsin, or Iowa I really believe that in themselves. 

I just don’t see Wisconsin and Iowa as any better than the teams we’ve been beating up on. Maybe a LITTLE better They’ve all been beating up on each other too. Iowa gets beat by Minnesota and scrapes by Purdue, Wisconsin gets beat by Iowa and scrapes by Illinois before the key injuries. Iowa has played some horrendous competition thus far. And their only game against a good team, and the bad offensive team might I add, they got scorched.
 

For all of our injuries on offense, I would also argue that the more injuries we’ve gotten, the better the offenses played, turnovers aside Especially as HH settles in. I would argue that if the turnovers go away, 3-1 or 4-0 is indeed probable.

MSU is by far the "easiest" game left on the schedule.

 

I hope I continue to be wrong (I thought 4 wins would by the ceiling this year) but I don't think NU beats any of the last 3.

I don’t understand this.

Maryland is not a good football team. Why people keep giving them credit for being one is completely beyond me. They have some offensive fire power on occasion, but that’s about it. We have an incredibly strong defense. We are playing Maryland at home.
 

Wisconsin is getting decimated by injuries and even before that they weren’t a dominant force by any stretch of the imagination. That said, this is definitely the toughest game left on the schedule and is a road game.

We beat Iowa last year with arguably a lesser team, against an iowa team that was probably about the same. Game is in Lincoln this year. 
 

3-1 down the stretch here is not just possible, it’s probable.

This has a feel of a 10-7 game.

Eh, they’ve given up a lot of points this year. 26 to Iowa? I think it will be a similar game to Purdue as far as opportunities to score for us. 

Sims is cursed. Never again.

Idiot bettors.  

Can’t believe some of y’all thought Maryland was good. 

He’s obviously afraid to compete in our deep and talented running back room….
