Best case/Worst case: Nebraska

[ladyhawke]

This was on the B1G blog on ESPNU. http://espn.go.com/blog/bigten/post/_/id/56003/best-caseworst-case-nebraska

Best Case Scenario: (Read the whole thing!! It's worth it...this is just the first paragraph)

The Huskers perform like the team many thought they'd be in 2011. Rex Burkhead makes a run for the Heisman, while Taylor Martinez looks like a different quarterback in the pocket. The Blackshirts throw the bones every third play and Nebraska ends up in two choice destinations: Indianapolis and Pasadena.

Worst Case Scenario: (I couldn't bear to read much after this first paragraph!)

Big Red sees red again as Nebraska falls well short of expectations and stumbles in a tough division. Martinez's offseason progress proves to be a farce, while defenses load up to stop Burkhead. Pelini explodes on the sideline and at the podium.

I think we'll lean towards the Best Case Scenario. We're going to be the 'underdogs' at first and slowly win each game. After each game, the only focus will be the next one on the list, quietly winning, slowly moving up the ranks, not buying into any hype. Just focus, focus, focus. Counting each game as the most important one on the list. Never taking any game for granted. Ahhh! It will be a thing of beauty!! GO BIG RED!

I read that best case/worst case earlier today - it's great. The last paragraph of the Worst Case scenario is hilarious.

The Huskers finish 5-7. The U.S. Olympic team asks Martinez if he'll try out for the shot put in 2016. Osborne retires and then becomes a consultant for Texas. Nebraska re-hires Steve Pederson as AD. Iowa wins the Rose Bowl, and Texas wins the national championship.

I'm still laughing

That isn't a worst case scenario, that is a sign of the Apocalypse scenario.....

i do not care if they think they are being sardonic, it would be an honor for t-mart to get invited to participate in the olympics.

I do think it's a little silly that people keep falling back on the "Just wait til Bo explodes on the sideline!" crutch, even though that whole image is largely based on a single encounter and doesn't factor in that a person might be able to, you know, grow as a head coach over time.

Kind of how it's silly that every time there is a penalty the camera cuts to Bo's gaping mouth chomping gum in hopes of an explosion, but all they get is a disgruntled look and dismissive hand wave.

best case we take care of the games we should win and maybe snag one or two we are not suposed too.. go to Big ten title game.... (win) on to the BCS

worst case we win the games we are supposed to win but let a lot others slip away in games that arent even close.. im worried we will beat Wiscy or Michigan but lose to MSU or perhaps a Penn State (dont even want to think abotu Northwestern)

simple...

Unfortunately outside of those of us on this board, that's how the rest of these yoyo's perceive Bo for the most part...
