They are building a program, but not yet to the point where they can just "reload ". Losing 9-10 offensive starters including nations leading rusher. Illinois losses a ton.....Buffalo, purdue, Northwestern losses linebackers at home, southwest Louisiana, and one toss up with MSU, Minn, Wiscy,Iowa That is 5 and only picking 1 toss up. That's fine if you disagree on Buffalo. But I seen how they won 13 out of 15, how their coach preaches a winning culture and their players prove it on the field. The difference between us (remove the Husker Championship history) is that we play on Saturdays, and they win on Saturdays. We need to be more like them... by stringing wins together, no matter who we play. Buffalo isn't just building a winning culture, they have already built it. This is going to be a disappointing game for GBR. As for Illinois, Purdue, NW, Michigan State, SW La... Those will be our best bet to win, but not guaranteed by any means. That's how it is, and it's sad. Oklahoma, Ohio State, Wisconsin, Michigan, Iowa will all beat us because they usually do. Minnesota is a toss up. But that will be after Thanksgiving in cold Minneapolis. I just don't see us turning a corner this following year, unless we score more and lose big games closely. Quote Link to comment

You may absolutely be spot on. I just think that replacing 8 guys is tough (if they all leave) . I am a big Leipold fan. Not convinced he doesn't get an opportunity to move up. 1 Quote Link to comment
Hilltop Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 Those calling the big ten teams mediocre are hopefully watching the bowl games. Pretty dominant so far. Nebraska hasn't looked good but their competition was better than many thought. Our offensive production against northwestern for instance looks a lot better right now. 3 1 1 Quote Link to comment
italianguard135 Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 Little late here, but I don't see Wandale transferring. I think he truly loves the program. I could be wrong, but I don't see him leaving. 1 Quote Link to comment

The announcers who are commentating the same games lovveeee talking about how the B1G had a really down year. While we s#!t kick everyone they put on the field with us lol. 1 Quote Link to comment
gorp512 Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 Instead of starting another thread, putting this here: Is next year's schedule going on as is? It's hard to imagine a smooth start with schools closed again in the spring, vaccines slower than anticipated, etc. Quote Link to comment

But there are some that are trying pretty hard to have the Ireland game stay as is Quote Link to comment

But there are some that are trying pretty hard to have the Ireland game stay as is I agree that they will push to have the game in Ireland, but if they aren’t able to make it work this year, a game in Chicago at Soldier Field may be a good alternative. NU fans will travel to Chicago, especially since they missed the bi-annual trip for Northwestern in 2020. Illinois doesn’t get many fans for their games in Champaign, maybe Beliema will want to drum up interest in Chicago. Quote Link to comment

Obviously more realistic, but not sure they Butt Head making his coaching debut in any place other than Champaign. Might be the most butts in that stadium next year, that is unless, you know beat NU, and the hype train gets started Quote Link to comment
gorp512 Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 Just was wondering if the Oklahoma game is still looking to go on as planned. Totally forgot about Ireland. Quote Link to comment
