I prefer new monkey- cuz he's a badass monkey......


Old monkey looked like a nerd........



Clydes a bad ass though.....

Ate the whole dammed bag of oreos, 12 ribs my ass.

The UCLA win will be very good for our confidence too.

I'm most scared of tOSU on the road. Michigan is a home game this year HISL. As are Wisky and PSU.

If we can just protect our house we will have an amazing season. Go 7-0 at home. That should be the goal. WE WILL PROTECT THIS HOUUUUUUUSE.

Yeah knew Penn State and wisky were home. I don't know why I thought Michigan was away after that ass kicking we got last year.

I still keep the above scenario though. 3 conference and a bowl loss or four conference and a cupcake in the toilet bowl.

where's the monkey?

No comment.

No, Clyde is more like the SportsHoopla atmosphere of late.

vs Southern Miss - W ----- They lose too much, including coaching. Husker crowd will be jacked beyond belief.......we are going to beat Southern Miss in pretty ugly fashion.

@ UCLA - W ----- A brand new coach doesn't change much in the first season when all of your players are underdeveloped. More experienced Husker team wins.

vs Arkansas St. - W----- Easy.

vs Idaho St. - W ----- Easier.

vs Wisconsin - W ----- They lose their QB, 3 Offensive Linemen, top WR, TE, and 5 starters on Defense. This is one of the most inexperienced teams in the country. They will be playing at Memorial Stadium on Homecoming Week........the place will be jacked. Bad timing for the Badgers.

@ Ohio State - L ----- First time in the shoe. Taylor still isn't the grown man we want him to be in his 4th year. We won't score enough points.

@ Northwestern - W ----- Northwestern this year is the equivalent of Minnesota last year. They have a speedy young little QB, but too much inexperience all around. They lost a ton from last year.

vs Michigan - L ----- I just plain think Michigan is the best team in the conference this season.

@ Michigan St - W ----- Here's where you pessimists will start to agree to disagree with me. But we will win this one. For some reason, Michigan St will be that one decent team that we will just always have a mental advantage over.

vs Penn St - W ----- Low scoring as usual......but Penn St will have less points. Returning only 10 starters.......new coach........bringing all that youth to the sea of red.........yea, not gonna happen.

vs Minnesota - W ----- Returning 10 starters. Coming to Nebraska. They have a nice coach, but it aint gonna help.

@ Iowa - W ----- Entire Offensive Line is gone............entire Defensive Line is gone. A team is only as good as they are up front. Iowa is going to struggle this season.......mark that down.

Keyword this year: "Experience"

 

[HuskerInSecLand]

I can agree with your two losses but we have to have a WTF. We always do.

As for Memorial being jacked and the sea of red. I am starting to lose sight of this from all the gray hairs. Home advantage just isn't what it used to be.

 

[Jack_John_Mark]

I just think, from an experience standpoint, the Huskers finally have enough experience all around.

We've got 18 starters returning out of 22. We have our entire special teams unit returning. We will have 2-deep at most positions on Defense with playing experience.

 

[Jack_John_Mark]

The Defense doesn't scream "flashy".......but I don't see that as a bad thing. We were supposed to be so great last year because we had an All-American at all 3 levels on Defense.

It didn't work, in my opinion, because we didn't have enough experience surrounding those players.

 

[Jack_John_Mark]

Our starting Defensive unit is guestimated at this point to be made up of: 6 Seniors, 3 Juniors, 1 Sophomore (Chase Rome), and then probably 1 more underclassman to fill WLB.

That is a pretty experienced group of guys.

tOSU will be a W.

Arky St scares me the most of all OOC games.

They're usually a neat little team and all..........

But only returning 9 starters.............that's a lot of youth coming into a place like Lincoln, NE.

 

[Jack_John_Mark]

I may be old school with the way I look at a team's potential success..........but I am (and always will be) geared around the belief that experience dominates talent (or so-called talent) of star recruits.

 

[huskers1217]

I can only refer it to the big man...BRS.

but I believe that once that kickoff happens...most players just view any game as just another game. Experience helps, but quality coaching, execution, and talent will win most games. Now...if you need experience to make sure you execute -- then that is a different discussion.
