My Prediction: 8-4 Regular Season for '08

Cy Fan you are right you beat us but your football program outside of one year with Seneca Wallace has been awful and chances are it will remain that way but I agree with you on the band comment thats an insult. Schlinny your back again with your assesment of our schedule. Why do you feel the need to express your opionion on our schedule? No Colorado fans gives a s--- what you think about our future results. I laugh when you say your not impressed with Hawkins. That is pure jealousy bro because you see where we are headed. Freshman dont make an impact other then Adrian Peterson( See Darrel Scott ). You guys are entitled to your opinion but leave it amongst yourselves, especially when it pertains to scheduling and results. The next 3 years you people play VA Tech twice( home and away), which is good team and below mediocre Washington in Wa out of Conference. Every other team is bad and at home. That is pathetic. You guys continually play a p---- schedule and your supposed to be big bad Nebraska LOL. No comment on Pelini because he hasnt been on a big stage yet at the helm. He takes over a team free of probation and has talent unlike Hawkins but i forgot your not impressed.

Come talk to us when you play WVU, Georgia, FSU, Hawaii, LSU and Cal like we do in the next 4 years.

Man...a lot of hostility there "bro".  I was just making an honest prediction and really wasn't trying to put CU down in any way.  I value other fans opinions just as much as I do other Huskers as long as they are in good taste and honest opinions such as what Cyfan generally brings to the table.  I may not agree with it, but that's neither here nor there.

As for hawkins...am i missing something here?  Am I really supposed to be impressed with an 8-17 record through 2 years?...Seriously?

And as for the scheduling, we played USC the last two years, Wake the last 2 out of 3.  We play Va Tech the next two.  In 2010 and 2011 we have a home and away with Washington.  In 2012 and 2013 we have a home and away with UCLA.  Haven't filled our schedule yet for 2014 and 15, and in 2016 and 17 we have a home and away with Tennessee.  I mean really...what more do you want?

No hostility at you just tired of the ignorance of the myopic responses of most of your fans and your last one. Not arguing your predictions but when you say your not impressed with Hawkins thats just being a Nebraska fan and shutting your eyes to the world. Everybody in the media is lauding this guy for pulling the number one RB in the country and taking 3 of your prized recruits. His players love him and his former players and Boise fans talk highly about him even when he is gone. He set that program on the track and moved onto a big time conference and school that was at Rock Bottom. Do you realize where our football program truly was? Honestly? No , you dont just like the rest of your fans. It wasn't walking into a half empty cupboard like Solich, Callahan and Pelini will and did.

Barnett built it back up then buried it. We had no regarded recruits since 2002. We lost our best players to transfer. We had the smallest recruiting budget you can think of. We had tons of recruiting restrictions. We had the sex scandal and were on ESPN behind the lines and a female player was put down verbally by the coach. The Coach was let go then the AD and then the President resigned.  Two years after taking the job with zero talent and starting with a 3rd string QB in his first year he upset Oklahoma, hung in every game tight that he lost except Missouri in his second year. He then rolled 65 points on you and made a bowl and barely lost after a bad start. Then he gets a great recruting class including the number one running back in the nation. Not impressed with that after what he had to walk into. That is blind my friend. 

Then the schedule you guys play. I'll give you USC although you were abused twice and  Va Tech but dont talk about 2014-17 when I said 4 years. Also, can you please address the other 3 teams you play out of conference each year. Its the biggest joke I have seen for supposedly such a storied program. We played at Georgia in our 2-10 year and lost by 4 on a last minute play. We play at FSU and WVU at home this year. Wake Forest? Cmon man they are ok and won the ACC when that conference was pitiful. I know your a good fan and know your stuff Schlinny but open your eyes outside of Lincoln and give respect otherwise you wont get any back.

Sorry about the math. I had been at work since 5:30 am and I meant to put OKST as W/L. To tell all of you others the truth I really don't care what you think about The Hawk. It sounds like a little jealousy issue to me. I can't say i blame you since Callahan was supposed to be a world beater and turned out to be a flop and then you replace him with a guy who has never been in the center of it all. Pelini is a great defensive guy and a good recruiter, but we had someone very similar to that with Neuheisel and look at what he did to our program. Things change drastically when you are in the lime-light.

Baker will be an animal for you guys, but other than that Pelini has a lot of work to do to bring back the "Black Shirt" mentality to a defense that got it handed to them last year week in and week out.

I say the more Fusker fans on here the better. It makes me even more pleased with where we are as apposed to them. I regards to the pre season schedule for Nebrasska, they have always played a week non conference schedule to try and boost their rankings. I am glad to see that you guys arent playing Southern Missouri Nuns of the East anymore.

Go Buffs!!!!

Looks like Buff fans are ganging up on you, my man.

I don't defend Husker fans much, but you make solid points across the board.

Being a life long Buffman, I think I speak for most, that we are just finally feeling good about the future.  The Huskers and Buffs have a lot of work to do to get back into an elite status again.  2001 was the high water mark for both of us, and it has been a slow downhill decent ever since.

I personally am looking forward to the Friday after Thanksgiving game when CU and NU are both ranked in the top 10 fighting for the Big 12 North Title.  How much of a joke is it that we had to endure watching Missouri and Kansas playing on national TV for a shot at the Big 12 Championship.  Something is just not right about that.

Here is hoping that Bo and Hawk produce the same magic as Osbourne and McCartney.  Huck the Fuskers!!!!
