Where will the huskers be at the end of '08

[markus]

where do you think the huskers will be , my guess is in the fiesta bowl although I would like to see them in the national championship

[HANC]

I voted for "other bowl"...... As everyone, I WANT NU to go the the NC game, but with the schedule, I look for NU to finish somewhere around 7-5 or 8-4.....(no need to discuss record, we have had many threads on that)............ I see this team ending up in the Alamo-Holiday-Cotton........and after this season, I could live with any of those 3....

I dont know what bowl, but I expect to win 8 games, but not the north.....so where ever that puts us.

[BIGREDIOWAN]

I would say other bowl. I don't think we'll be good enough just yet to go to a BCS bowl. I would definately like to be proven wrong though.

[Bleeding Husker Red]

Probably not even the Alamo... Maybe the Texas Bowl...I dunnoo Insight.com Bowl...car quest bowl...some third tier thing. We have to buildback up some. Anything Alamo Bowl or higher is really unlikely.

I cant see why we wouldnt be better than 2 games above last year. Certainly its all speculation, but after NU went 7-6, a new staff was brought in, sans HC, and the next year ended up 9-3. It seems your predicting a 6-6 year. Personally, I think that would be an underachievement. Even at 7-5 I think that would mean NU lost some games it shouldnt have. We'll see.

As I have stated....I am BELIEVING that we are going to the National Championship game and winning it all.

 

Until we have lost 2 games, I will not believe otherwise.

 

Every year everyone starts at 0-0, there is no reason that we can't win it all, we have as good a chance as anyone else with the right breaks.

 

GO BIG RED!!!

GBR!!!

I'm thinking the Holiday Bowl. Maybe it's because I'd like to go to California in December next year.

[NUpolo8]

Holiday Bowl against a PAC-10 team. That sounds nice after this year.

[phantomhusker]

Other bowl I dont think we'll make a BCS Bowl

[papersun87]

What HANC said . . . I hear San Antonio is nice in December.

[Danimal]

I would say the Alamo. It is a solid bowl, making it would be a big step in the right direction.

[NevadaHusker27]

My guess would be the Holiday Bowl.

[IlliniHusker]

The 2008 schedule includes 4 teams that finished in the top 10: Va Tech, Mizzou, Kansas and OU. In addition we are playing a very good Texas Tech team (#22 nationally) and rising powers in Colo and Kansas St.

 

Thank goodness the fans on this board are mostly realistic (~80% for other bowl). A 7-5 record looks like the most likely to me, but I have high hopes that Bo & the Big Red will upset someone this year for a 8-4 record. The only upset I can think of in the last 4 miserable years was the Alamo Bowl over Michigan (Callahan's one bright spot).

 

Lets continue to be realistic and not burden the new staff with expectations that are too far out.
