ScawFraw Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Having a hard time trying to figure out what constitutes the Huskers' "realistic expectations" from here on out. Every school and fanbase have different expectations. So what are ours? 1 Quote Link to comment

MichiganDad3 Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 I think expectations and desires are different. I desire to be in the hunt for a conference championship every yer, and to at least play for a conference title every other year. At this point I expect an average of eight regular season wins per year, and a very small chance of a conference championship, with CCG appearances about once per five years. Quote Link to comment
Saunders Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 As of today, I would "settle" for not getting embarrassed. The next step is winning the conference for the first time in almost 2 decades. I don't even care about the playoff right now. Penn State came off of a massive scandal and huge hits to their recruiting, and they just won the conference. Getting to 2019 without a title seems all too plausible, and unfortunate.

Making Chimichangas Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Realistic Expectations? (The sarcastic side of me wants to post something snarky.) However, I will answer the question as intended... 1. Players that have the speed, athleticism, size, strength, etc to be able to compete with any team nationally on any field. 2. Players who play every snap with 100% effort/motor/heart. 3. Players that are coachable. 4. Players that stay out of trouble with the law. (This applies to our coaches also.) 5. Players that go to class and graduate. 6. Players that are involved with the community. I figure, we get all six of those points (or, at the bare minimum 1-3) and the wins/championships will take care of itself. 1 Quote Link to comment

Redux Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 I think a realistic expectation is winning 9-11 games a year and competing for a conference title every other year or so. 1 Quote Link to comment

So I'm wondering, do your expectations include any actual on field results or are you happy with winning 7-8-9 games per year over inferior competition and getting beat by the better teams and getting blown out once or twice, as long as your list is satisfied? Sorry, had to move this along to satisfy Atbones premonition above. Quote Link to comment

Well, I implied that, with competent to excellent coaching... * winning 9-11 games yearly, * being in regular contention for conference, and in some years national, championship contention, should go be achievable if we have my points 1-6 listed above.

huskered17 Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Would like to see the team reloading each season like we used to do, instead of rebuilding each season. GBR!!! Quote Link to comment
