They did a thing on 1620am the zone yesterday on Unsportsmanlike Conduct. What games will win, might win, should win, and won't win. Was wondering what the SportsHoopla group feels about this.

Looks as good as any, FNG.

I've looked at the schedule many times and have come to the conclusion that I have no fucking idea what to expect.

That's where I'm at too. Banking on the will wins, hoping for the should wins, would be pleased with one or two might wins. And fuck iowa

I have a tough time with it because I believe Frost is a good coach that pays attention to the little things and can put the pieces together. By recruiting rankings he's got equal or more talent than 10 of the team's on the schedule.

UCF won 6 more games in year 1 under Frost than they did the year prior.

Add 6 to last year's win total and....


nvm, that's rose colored glasses shit.

The experts say most progress is made between week 1 and 2.
If Nebraska handles Akron by 14 or more, then takes Colorado to the woodshed, I see 8 wins there.

With respect to the coaching ability of Frost and his staff, it's gonna take a lot of unfuckering of the roster holdovers to get them up to par.
I want to believe that they have made huge strides in the 6+ months they have been on campus, but the players he inherited have been under the influence of some really bad coaches.
I am cautiously optimistic, but have my Kool-aid and rose colored glasses on close standby if needed.

College Sports are weird.

Every year there are some teams who perform just as expected......some who perform way worse than expected......some who perform way better than expected.

It’s the reason I love college sports and simply just observe pro sports. Who knows, Maybe Nebraska will improve so much in 1 offseason under new coaching that we’ll steal one at Michigan or Wisconsin. Maybe we were so out of shape last year that we won’t even get to 6 wins this year.

Predicting this shit given our current situation is impossible. People who say we’re going 9 or 10 wins crack me up.

I mean, is it possible? Yes. I’ve seen crazier shit in my life. I’ve seen teams like Michigan and Wisconsin have off years for whatever reason and a team like Nebraska come on out of nowhere. It happens.

But reality is, Nebraska’s hardest games are on the road. In fact, all of our road games are hard. Just 6 months ago we were a bunch of scrubs, physically speaking. To make the kind of strides we need to make in 1 year in order to have a decent record, given our schedule, we need stars to align. We need guys to come flying off the radar and making huge plays.

It could happen.

I'm not modifying my guess of 5-7, but I'm sure that once the Huskers start out 3-0 I'm gonna be hammering the kool-aid and saying stupid shit like "Natty on a platty" and "we want Bama."

I actually kind of agree with you on Northwestern, it’s just hard to pull the trigger on “will.”

They’re always overrated and we will paint that place red. That should be a close game.

Just ONE of the reasons I went with Will.

Talent was another.

7th game was another.

Then there are others I don't have time to plorst right now. Maybe later.
