Aim9 Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 Amen to that. I'm jonesing for some NU football. Pro football is entertaining as well of course, but I don't have near the allegiance to the 49ers (my favorite pro team) as I do to the Huskers. Football is really the only sport I follow very closely and I dislike summer heat, (fall is my favorite season) so I've been itching for fall to come for quite some time. It will be interesting to see what the new guys (Purify, Culbert) will do at fall camp. Quote Link to comment
kc_husker Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 I know last year Eric the Red and some others posted the TV coverage up in lincoln for camp. I hope you guys can do it again this year. Thanks Quote Link to comment
tattooedhusker Posted July 28, 2006 Author Share Posted July 28, 2006 i'm pretty sure he can...ETR is a man of many miricles Quote Link to comment
gamecocks Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 Aim9, I am also a 49ers fan. Hopefully Alex Smith can surprise people the way that Zac Taylor did last year. But I have a felling it is going to be another long year for them. Unlike the Huskers who are on the verge of doing something pretty great this year if they play well. Quote Link to comment
ttheKid1*18 Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 It's great that football is back in both pro and college. It will be good to watch some, starting with the HOF game next Sunday. I look for my Cowboys, with the addition of the hated T.O., to do great things this year. Though I am not a fan of him personally, I think Parcells will hold him in check. Quote Link to comment

But I have a felling it is going to be another long year for them. Unlike the Huskers who are on the verge of doing something pretty great this year if they play well. I would have to agree that the Huskers are definitely headed towards a better season than the 49ers. Alex Smith will do much much better this year (although that isn't very difficult when you throw 10ints and 1td) and I bet his QB rating will hover around the low 80's- pretty respectable when you consider the players around him. I think the 49ers made enough progress in the offseason to have a 6-8 win season. Still not very good, but a far better season than last year with some solid building blocks for the future. The Huskers on the other hand I feel are headed towards a season that should produce 9-12 wins. (remember, we'll probably play 14 games this year) It's a crying shame that we're all but eliminated from title contention by our schedule alone. If NU wanted to win it all, we'd have to beat the four best teams in the country- USC, Texas, Oklahoma (Big 12 title), and then whoever else made it to the championship (probably Ohio State). Could we win one or MAYBE two of those games? I think we could. Could we win all four without dropping the ball against teams like Iowa St.? No way. It makes me wish that we were in the PAC-10. One huge game against USC, some decent competition from Cal and Oregon, and you're set for a title match. Stupid conference championship... greedy money grabbing Big 12.... I project a Husker finish anywhere from 5-20 in the final AP poll. Quote Link to comment
ttheKid1*18 Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 Could you imagine if we did win all those games. Wow. ESPN might even give us some respect. Quote Link to comment

The Niners did finally sign Vernon Davis. That is really good news, because he is going to be something explosive that the 49ers havent had for a long time!!! Quote Link to comment
ttheKid1*18 Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 A lot of players have signed over the past few days, with the notable absence of Reggie Bush. The Saints better get him, or there are going to be some angry ticket holders. Quote Link to comment
Aim9 Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 It would be incredible- ANY team who could win out against that schedule would silence all criticism. However, it's just not going to happen. With the sheer volume of talent present at those four programs, I would be happy to see one win. I would be elated if we could win all four, but it's so crazy it's hardly even worth getting your hopes up for. Planning on winning those 4 games would be like planning on winning the lottery- it's possible, but just barely. Quote Link to comment
GSG Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 You have better odds getting struck by lightning than winning the lottery. Quote Link to comment
husker rob Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 espn would probably say that we won the games against Texass and USC because of all of the players that are gone. Quote Link to comment
ttheKid1*18 Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 What would they say in the title game though? It would be funny to see evryone with their foot in mouth. I'm not saying we will win it, but we have a legit chance in the big games, and anything can happen. Quote Link to comment
