I think I saw it mentioned in another thread about the 10-7 record in the last 17 games for Pelini. I wanted to start a thread to see who can come up with the most (edit:)outrageous statistic that means absolutely nothing, but is factually correct. Let's have a little fun, it is needed!!! btw 7 losses: 1. @#18 Texas A&M (referee bitterness anyone?, Nebraska should have won this game.) 2. CG #10 Oklahoma (Big 12 CHAMPIONSHIP GAME. Again, Nebraska was in this game.) 3. BG Washington (bad loss. But it Nebraska holds a 2 out of 3 advantage in 12 month series) 4. @#7 Wisconsin (First B1G Conference game at Camp Randall. Wisconsin should finish top 10) 5. Northwestern (bad loss. An unfocused group had plenty of opportunities to win it.) 6, @#18 Michigan (Special Team meltdown in 2nd half. Michigan will probably finish in top 10 with a win over VT) 7, BG #9South Carolina (we all know what happened, Nebraska had their shot to win this one, but collapsed) I really believe, and I admit it is blind hope, that a year of mental and physical maturity will make a huge difference in the area of focus and execution. I also believe a year of experience in the B1G will help the coaching staff prepare gameplanes (offensively and defensively). I also think the mental stress placed on the team of being the last year in the Big12 (we have to win it!) and the first year in the B1G (we have to make a good impression) played a lot into the emotional exhuastion of the team. I can't wait for next year. The team is one year older (yes, this is a VERY young team) and some talented Redshirted players should see the field. And most importantly, it will be "just another year". Players will not be surrounded by storylines and drama about conference realignment that puts unnecessary stress on them.
