This ones for Anya! Pelini screams into the mic.

Its an image that winds up on the front page of nearly every sports section in the country. Nearly purr-fect reads the headline, as the Huskers lock up one of four playoff spots with a 12-1 record. Pelini sweeps Big Ten Coach of the Year honors and is invited to appear on the covers of both Sports Illustrated and Cat Fancy.

After the final loss in the regular season, dropping Nebraska to 5-7, Pelini walks straight past the waiting sideline reporter into the tunnel. He trudges right past the security guards, skips the postgame presser, hops into his car and drives off.

And nobody is quite sure if hes coming back

Days before the season, the Huskers lose another starting defensive back to injury -- and Abdullah suffers a minor ankle injury that doesn’t keep him out but still seems to hinder him all season.

So, best case there is no way we can beat MSU. Good to know.

Well Nebraska wins the conference in the best case, so either beating Sparty or Ohio

I'm taking this best case scenario to mean that even if we're on a roll and can seem to do no wrong, somehow we'll drop one. Probably to Sparty, or maybe the Vadgers. That seems consistent with our annual pooping of the bed versus some random, mediocre opponent.

If NU fixes the turnovers. There is not a team on the schedule that they can't beat & the same could be said if they don't fixes the turnovers. There are only a few teams they could still beat if they give the ball to them 5 times on their half of the field. Best case they win it all, worst case they go 5-7.

Don't have to worry about it. We aren't going 5-7.

 
yup, anything is possible......if we have as many injuries as the Texas Rangers had this season, we will be lucky to play .500 ball.

So hypothetically lets say we lose Ameer, Armstrong, Bell, Banderas, and Gregory. Those are some pretty significant injuries for this team.

Is that so bad that we'd lose to one of Florida Atlantic, McNeese St, Illinois, Rutgers, Fresno or Purdue? I don't think so. And we should be able to get at least 1 win against the rest of the 6 on the schedule, plus whatever toilet bowl team we draw.

For this team to go 6-6, there'd have to be far more more than injuries at work...something like 2007 where the team packed it in.
