Redux Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 How many wins til we say enough next man up?Probably 6-6 this year and no better next. Regardless, Mike Riley will get 3 years. But your hypothetical will be moot anyways, Nebraska wins 8-9 this year and then the Big Ten in 2017. 2 Quote Link to comment
huKSer Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 I thought that cae was part of the youngun's lingo - like bae. Hooray! Case not Cae in title! Quote Link to comment
MichiganDad3 Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 Worst case is a couple of key injuries cause a losing streak of 3 or 4 games to end the season and we lose the sellout streak, and have a negative atmosphere for the off season. Quote Link to comment
huKSer Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 Worst case: Riley calls for a b******* for the Oregon game. Which results in the end of the sell out streak. Quote Link to comment
Elf Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 Worst case. 1 win? 2 wins? 3 wins? 4 wins? 5 wins? 6 wins? 7 wins? 8 wins? 9 wins? How many wins til we say enough next man up?Probably 6-6 this year and no better next. Regardless, Mike Riley will get 3 years. But your hypothetical will be moot anyways, Nebraska wins 8-9 this year and then the Big Ten in 2017. How many wins til we say enough next man up? I think we challenge for a national title in 2018. That's assuming recruiting keeps going well. Quote Link to comment

That's assuming recruiting keeps going well. Can you hash that out for me? I must be missing the memos, but from what I can tell, NU is 25th in the country and 6th or 7th in the conference at this point. I know we are "in on" some good prospects, but aren't all top 25 teams? Recruiting is consistent with the past. I'm not seeing the uptick people are pinning their hopes on. That said, the roster this year is good enough to win the B10 if utilized properly. Maybe the DL is the one spot that hasn't shown that yet, but otherwise, this team has a ton of talent.

I semi-agree that any predictions of national title hunt are premature at this point. Not so sure about winning the B1G this year, though. Agreed that there is a lot of talent and that DL remains a question mark at the moment. Pass defense also remains a question mark, as does QB play. If they can put Tommy in a position to play to his talents, and if he has fewer turnovers, then I could see a B1G run this year. Also questions about the O line, since they'll be so young this year.

Hunter94 Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Worst case: the entire college football season gets canceled when a gigantic asteroid hits the planet and we all die. The few remaining survivors spend the rest of their lives arguing as to whether this was bad luck or just bad play calling by Riley. perfect! Quote Link to comment

Guy Chamberlin Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Worst case. 1 win? 2 wins? 3 wins? 4 wins? 5 wins? 6 wins? 7 wins? 8 wins? 9 wins? How many wins til we say enough next man up? I've got a question. Why this thread? Especially since you've already reached a conclusion without waiting for an answer. Quote Link to comment

84HuskerLaw Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Th9e worst case is nothing to even think about let alone jinx us all by actually describing it in writing for all the world to consider. Let's talk about the best case scenario as that is much more fun and interesting. I would be interested to know how many on this board think there is a possibility, even very remote as in 1 in 1000 chance for example, that we could run the table and win them all! Obviously the best case would be winning them all and defeating, say, an undefeated number one ranked Notre Dame team in the championship game by a score of 63 - 0 and ND doesn't even get a single first down and we score on 7 consecutive possessions offensively, return a kick off and return an interception for the other two. Notre Dame's coach has a mental breakdown at half time and starts talking in some alien sounding lingo and soils his pants just for good measure! Absolutely the most one sided championship game in football history! Quote Link to comment
dvdcrr Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Worst case is 6 wins regular season with this team, staff, and schedule. Quote Link to comment
