So there are 13 days until the start of the '09 season for the Huskers.
As a life long Husker out here in Nevada, USA, these are the things I do know for '09 as of 8/23:
- Castille is gone, tough loss, but it's not like we are trying to replace an All American. The man broke the rules, so THE man decided to send him on his way (looks like we will all get to know a little more about the Plano guy named "Superman" here in about two weeks).
- The defense will be good if not great. Front line (Suh), will help a ton with young linebackers along with playmakers in the secondary.
- KU will not win because they don't have the same quality of players and our D coordinator isn't named Cosgrove (who by the way is still trying to figure out that tricky scheme from the top dogs in Pop Warner)
- 'Skers will win the game in Misery...They had two pretty good seasons but lightening in a bottle is gone (they do have a new scoreboard, so nothing could be better than breaking it in with a Nebraska win).
- VA Tech & OU will be a nice gauge as to where we are at.
- I'm gonna go out on a limb and put the skers at a 10-2 regular season (VA tech & OU losses) with a spot in the Big 12 champ game.
GBR!
