JGS30 Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Really shouldn't be that hard next year IMO. Nah I think Kansas should be pretty tough, not that we can't beat em. And with Mizzou and Colorado you never know either. But hey, thats not comin up anytime soon...its gonna be a loooong off season Ya'll have NO IDEA what kind of team ou'll have next year with the loss of several key starters. I would focus on staying above 500, rather than buying into a prediction in January. Quote Link to comment
JGS30 Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 ESPN big 12 blogger. he knows the Big 12 territory well. Yeah right! If he would of picked KU you wouldn't be saying that! He is picking a team with a new QB and lots of new unproven skill players on offense. Dude sounds high to me. Kansas HAS to be the favorite going into 09. Hands down. Quote Link to comment
rkhufu7 Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Really shouldn't be that hard next year IMO. Kansas has the players coming back, and OSU will be loaded OU returns 9 starters on defense and depth created by injuries, while they could have Broyles, Gresham, Bradford, both FBs/TEs and 1 OL.

junior4949 Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 LOL, how in the world did OSU and OU get involved in a thread talking about the Big 12 NORTH? Oh I forgot about the manlove for OSU! Quote Link to comment
zoogs Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 yea, we don't play OSU next year. Quote Link to comment
General Blackshirt Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 It's the whole Dez/OSU reference all over again. Quote Link to comment

Hands down. uh. he knows big 12 country MUCH better than 95% of people projecting ANYTHING. KU should be better next year. But they weren't this year. They'll get better obviously, but really, Nebraska's D should be stout. while i'm not going to completely disagree with you, how does KU HAVE to be the favorite? Last time i checked the saying goes offense wins games defense wins championships...? Quote Link to comment

Kansas will be tough but I think both Gresham and Bradford will go pro plus they lose most of their o-line Quote Link to comment

sdhusker82 Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Well IMO the North looks wide open, its kind of surprising to see that they picked us to win it. Kansas returns quite a bit on offense, not sure about their d though. But then again our D looks to be very promising next year I'm just not so sure about the offense, but hey I'm sure we've had worse?? Quote Link to comment
CheeseHusker Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 We'll do well if we win the division next year. Very well. We play at Missouri, at Kansas, and at Colorado. And we play at Baylor, which all of a sudden seems like a really hard game. Oh, and we have to play OU and T-Tech again, albeit on our fieldturf. With a new quarterback, it's going to be hard anyway. Not saying it can't be done.... I certainly wish we could play the first half of this season over again with the Huskers we saw during the second. It's unfair to call next year a writeoff so soon, but I'm prepared to chalk next year up as a second rebuild year if things don't go well, just because things seem really set up more for 2010 - by then you have an established QB, a more favorable schedule, and a balance of players recruited and tutored in Bo's system. But this year exceeded my wildest expectations already.... sky's the limit. Quote Link to comment
husker98 Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 4. Bo’s first division title . After Nebraska coach Bo Pelini inserts Zac Lee into the starting lineup, the Cornhuskers catch fire and cruise to the North Division title in a tight race that features four teams that eventually make bowl trips — Nebraska, Colorado, Kansas and Missouri. The Cornhuskers don’t have enough firepower, however, to beat Texas. The Longhorns win their conference title since 2005 after a 38-24 triumph over the Cornhuskers to cruise to the BCS title game after a 12-1 season marred only by a loss at Oklahoma State WHAT?!?!?!?! now way out side chance at best dude of OSU beating TEXAS......other wise good article an i think we got a good chance win the north next year and i really think the KU NU game will decide who books their ticket to K.C. Colorado might but i'm not sold on them their best game was against us and we gave them alot of their points based off us getting a little lazy. mizzou i think will be .500 but not a contender they replace a ton of starters.

Ohio Pete Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Shatel's take: ESPN.com Big 12 blogger Tim Griffin predicts Nebraska will win the Big 12 North next season and lose to Texas in the Big 12 championship. He'll be in the minority. The popular pick to win the North will be Kansas, which has the top quarterback returning in the North in Todd Reesing and playmakers at receiver in Dezmon Briscoe and Kerry Meier. But the great equalizer for KU is its southern rotation in the Big 12: at Texas, at Texas Tech and Oklahoma at home. The Hawks could be 0-3 without playing a North game. That might bring them back to the pack in a hurry. Quote Link to comment
captain obvious Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 I think the great equalizer for KU is the fact that its defense is going to be a joke. Quote Link to comment
Army Husker Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 I'm more worried about how we stop beating ourselves before I'm worried about how we beat anyone else next year. Give me an article on how we're faring on that topic, and then i'll start reading the guestimates about the other teams. Quote Link to comment
