hoyamannn Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 Just wondering what everyone's outlook was following these two seasons? Personally, after the 02 7-7 season I almost didn't want the following season to start. Really the only thing I was looking forward to was seeing a new DC that was kind of unheard of, and seeing what he would do. Plus we had a pretty favorable schedule, and I seen us winning more than 7 games the following year. This year, I can't wait to see all these coveted recruits come in to see what they can do, and I also think we'll be back to 8 wins next year. Quote Link to comment
Benard Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 I doubt we win more than 5 games. Quote Link to comment
roadrat Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 I think with the 7 home games, 6 or 7 wins are possible. With all the new players adjusting to new coaches it might take some time to get everyone going in the right direction. Quote Link to comment
formerfan Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 A winning season would be a huge haul for this bunch of stiffs (coaches). Quote Link to comment
Blackshirt Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 Here's the '05 sched. 04/16 Red-White game 09/03 Maine 09/10 Wake Forest 09/17 Pittsburgh 10/01 Iowa State 10/08 Texas Tech 10/15 @ Baylor 10/22 @ Missouri 10/29 Oklahoma 11/05 @ Kansas 11/12 Kansas State 11/25 @ Colorado At first glance it appears we *should* take around 5-6 of the home games. Unfort on the road Im afraid its going to be tough to come away with more than 1-2 dubs. Quote Link to comment
Pedro Guerrero Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 I'm sure we will play in a bowl game next year. After the shellshock of the 2002 season anything was going to be better. Quote Link to comment

Unfort on the road Im afraid its going to be tough to come away with more than 1-2 dubs. Maine is the only easy win at home imo. I see us winning probably 3 home games plus baylor and maybe Kansas. Probs get 4 maybe 5 wins. Quote Link to comment
DJR313 Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 With the parity in the Big 12 this past season coupled with Nebraska playing several new players next season, I will agree that Maine is the only gimme game. I look for 6-5/7-4. Quote Link to comment
TouchdownTommie Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 The only "gimme" I see is the Red-White game. We got no secondary, no QB, no receivers. Don't tell me how good the recruits are, I've heard it all before. I also heard a certain 4* defensive lineman tell us how he was going to break the NU sack record for a season. I don't think he broke it with all his years combined. Quote Link to comment
joshuavacek Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 I see 6 or 7 wins, but just seeing the future in our recruits will be fun. I just want to see w QB that can complete the 5 yard slant consistently. That would be cool. Quote Link to comment
gamecocks Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 I think to call any game a gimme for any team in the nation is kind of getting far fetched. We are no longer in the days in which a team can simply throw its jocks on the field and walk away with a win. Teams need to bring it every game so that they can avoid an upset. Quote Link to comment
Benard Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 Maine is a gimme, just like western illinois is. It'd be different if they were rated 1aa but they are just average in 1aa. Quote Link to comment
hoyamannn Posted January 13, 2005 Author Share Posted January 13, 2005 Agree there are no gimme's. A buddy made a 'gimme' bet this year on the Miami-UNC game. 22 point spread, the money-line was $1100 on Miami winning to win $100. Buddy bet $3300 to win $300, needless to say that was his last bet of the year. Quote Link to comment
DJR313 Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 Hoya, that was far from a gimme bet. $1100 to win $100? That's the dumbest thing I have ever heard. And when I say "gimme" I think it is a game that even if Nebraska plays badly, they will win. I agree with Benard here, they aren't even a top 1aa team like a McNeese State, Western Kentucky etc. Quote Link to comment
junior4949 Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 5 is the most victories I can come up with. We will win our first 2, Iowa State (sorry I just can't see them beating us again), Baylor, and either Kansas or Colorado. OK, the last one may be a stretch. Other than that I don't see us competing with anyone else. All I can say is thank God TT, Baylor, and OU are the only teams in the South we're playing. Somebody really needs to see if we can get out of that TT game. I mean if we can get out of playing Houston, maybe we can get out of playing TT. The Pittsburgh game will be an interesting game (two NFL flops go head to head). However, I don't even think DW can screw up that bad. Quote Link to comment
