NUpolo8 Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 In my opinion, this team should have the expectation to win all 4 of these games, for all four are games a team that wants to contend has to win. Quote Link to comment
HuskerfaninOkieland Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 Get drunk. And if we go 4 and 0!, get drunk. And if we go 2-2?? I'll be a little disgusted but not pissed. I look at like this. All great teams have down years. OU did in the 90's. USC did just a few years ago. Teams like A&M, Texas, Miami, Michigan, Notre Dame, Penn State. Teams with a tradition of winning have down years. Maybe it's just our turn right now. I don't see us going 0-4 right now though. In fact, I have a pretty good feeling about us going 4 and 0 thru October. ISU and KSU of course aren't playing well. We match up pretty well against Texas but we play Texas at home and our boys will be glad to be back in Lincoln so I have to go with advantage: NU. And OK State got exposed against a pretty good Houston team. IF I had to choose a game we were going to lose, I would say it's ISU only because Meier is a pretty decent QB. Quote Link to comment
T-BONE Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 0-4 sh#t would hit the fan ! Quote Link to comment

If our down years are one season without a bowl game, and a 7-7 and 8-4 type season, then at least we aren't going through what OU did. They were absolutely horrible in the 90s and I'm happy we aren't dealing with something like that. Quote Link to comment
beamout2000 Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 Iowa State is coming off two really bad weeks. If the Huskers come out and play four quarters like the first quarter last week then no problem. Likewise if you play four quarters like the first last week you have a chance at beating Texas too. Oh please for all that is holy beat Texas!!!!! Quote Link to comment
ttheKid1*18 Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 I hope we beat Texas. That would be awesome. I picked us to win that game before the season, and still think we will. Should be a great game, hopefully under the lights in Lincoln! Quote Link to comment
ttheKid1*18 Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 But we have two games before the UT game, so I don't want us to overlook those! Quote Link to comment

I was stationed in OK back then as well and me and two co-workers went to see the OUvsKSU game in Norman. OU lost...big time. Funny thing? Tickets were $5 a piece. They were begging fans to show up to the games. No one wanted to admit they were a fan. Now...everyone is a fan. If we ever become that bad, I promise to fling poo on everyone who makes fun of NU Quote Link to comment
BIGREDFAN_in_OMAHA Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 There would be some 'splaining that would need to be done. Quote Link to comment
TrueHuskerFan Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 First of all, it's not going to happen. Secondly, I think that if it did, there would probably be coaching changes at the end of the year, not Callahan but assistants would be gone. One thing I know is the Benard's of the world would be all over this board... Quote Link to comment
NU fan in Denver Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 There would be some 'splaining that would need to be done. Lets see, that would put us at 4-5 with the possibility to go 4-8, 5-7, 7-5, 7-6, 7-7, 9-5, too many scenarios. There would definately need to be more than some explaining to do. 0-4 would be horrible, but not as bad as an 0-7 or 1-6 to end the season. Another season w/o a bowl game and heads should fly. Probably start at the top w/ SP. It would be different if the team hadn't been pumped up to be better than last years. Anything less than last years record would be disappointing.

rawhide Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 Can't see that happening BUT if it did I would turn my puter off for at least a week to let things cool down. Nah, would be too much fun to miss with all the great wailing and gnashing of teeth. Important thing to remember it is just a game not a life and death situation. Quote Link to comment
I See Red People Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 I will burn every piece of Husker gear or memoribilia I own, put a For Sale sign in Callahan's yard, contemplate jumping off a building. I will do what I always do. Go to work, spend time with my fiance, friends and family and have a good time talking about anything and everything Husker. 0-4, I don't really see it happening, but still, it won't be the end of the world. Last year got pretty rough in the middle too. I agree I would not do anything drastic. Being a fan is about winning and losing. Of course I would be a little ticked about everyone having their way with the skers, but that's as far as my reaction goes. I'm going to wonder what lies ahead for the team and coaches to get back on track. Quote Link to comment
hskrfan4life Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 i just want to have another bowl streak like we had and hopefully beat it that would be so nice. I don't think we will go 0-4 we will go 4-0 we have the best chance next to Oklahoma to beat Texas GO BIG RED Quote Link to comment
Licensed to Ill Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 After running a few calculations, I've come up with the answer that it is not physically possible for us to lose the next 4 games. Quote Link to comment
