IllinoisHuskerFan Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 He has us as 4th in the West finishing above Purdue and Illinois with 8 wins and NW going 9-3(NW plays Cal, @ Penn St, Wisconsin, @ Minnesota, Nebraska, @ Iowa, Michigan and @ Notre Dame) I dont believe either of those two things happening. ESPN had a big 10 special and a podcast and barely said anything about them. I hope Bo and Co make a point to their team what others are saying about them. I love how this team will fly under the radar with zero expectations when personally I think this is one of their best teams uinder Pelini. Arguably their best depth in years with playmakers on both sides of the ball. I happen to think if they can not shoot themselves in the foot with penalties and turnovers they have a shot to do some real damage like 11+ wins 3 Quote Link to comment

Junior Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 All media types hate Nebraska. This is a well documented fact. Quote Link to comment
Abdullah the Butcher Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Phil always says generally positive things about Nebraska when he's on local radio in Lincoln but sticks to his prediction of 8-4, which isn't a stretch. 1 Quote Link to comment
huskered17 Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Well Steele has one of the best track records out there. We have a lot to prove this year. Do we have the "D" this year, and how will Armstrong preform. I see his point, but as with all us Husker fans, its hard to see what others do, with our Scarlet sunglasses on. Hope he is wrong. GBR!!!

Comish Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 While historically he has been pretty good..............in this case he is just flat out WRONG........ Quote Link to comment
The King Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 This is going to be our best team under Pelini barring any more game changing injuries. DL, QB, RB etc. Our players look like they belong in the SEC. Quote Link to comment
SandhillshuskerW Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 I always enter the season with a positive outlook, so I am going to say that he is wrong. I feel like they have the talent to shake things up. It's just like anything else in sports though, they have to actually play at a high level and do what it takes to win. I have been coaching basketball for 15 years now and I have seen many times a scenerio where the team with more talent loses the game because they don't play with intensity. If they keep the focus and intensity up, they will do big things this year. We're almost a week away from this season getting under way! GBR!!!! Quote Link to comment
SouthAfricanHusker Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Phil is upset that the past 3 years he has picked NU to win the division and we haven't impressed. I think he is being reserved this time to hedge his bets. Also he is more of a historian. His predictions are 4-5 paragraphs about the last few years with a few sentences on the upcoming year.

deedsker Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Pelini only wins his division half the time, so flip a coin. #4 losses Quote Link to comment
